Microsoft is still working on Encarta for the Mac. In the meantime there is Grolier's, the meatiest in terms of text, but not as flashy as the other two popular titles. If you're into arcade games, get Jump Raven. (You'll need the sound patch for the PowerMac available for free from Cyberflix or on AOL or CompuServe) The Mac edition of Rebel Assault is due sometime soon. If you're into music, you can't go wrong with any of the Voyager titles: Beethoven's Ninth, Mozart's String Quartet in C Major, et al. Microsoft's Art Gallery is a must for art fans and Cinemania for music buffs. I haven't seen a good atlas. World Atlas and U.S. Atlas were disappointing.
