Lois,
I must agree with you, it is costly for a pensioner. But, I have the fiche
for all that are on the CD.
However the globe has just gone in the fiche reader, the globe to replace is
$65.00. One has to be realistic about costs, and if it too expensive for
you, then maybe you will have to use it at your library.
Mary
