Cheryl, Thanks, I'll give them a call and see if they can send me any information. I've gotten several (dozen?!) CD ROM catalogues and haven't seen these listed. Must not be the most popular ones going. If you do run across a mail order catalogue that has these I'd appreciate getting their number too. Regards, Bill T.

According to my Visa bill I bought the Hyperglot Berlitz Italian CD-ROM from PCZone. It WAS NOT in their catalog. I called them up because they had the cheapest upgrade to DOS6 and while I was talking to them I ask about the CD. I had seen it elsewhere for $122 so I knew it was available and had a price in mind. He looked it up and said $118 and I said sold. I can't locate the packing slip at the moment to tell you their 800 number. Try 1 800 555-1212. I had a bit of a problem with the install but they have an 800 tech support number. [I could practically shout out the back door but that's not the way it is done.] You have to leave a message but they do get back to you and they are nice, not tough techies, so their clients aren't computer types. I think that's a good sign in language software. I know PCConnection carries the CDs. They aren't my favorite mail order company. However, I have a very good friend who loves them. I'm sure the audience for Chinese is limited. In fact, I am sure the computer audience for foreign languages is pretty limited. When I was going to college only 'the firm' [which is not the movie] had employees interested in Chinese. The times they are a changing! Cheryl
