Jay - what are digicards?

As for the MECC question, that is easy - with the right software. If your
district had license to duplicate at will, then MECC also provided a
program that would tranfer MECC program to a hard drive to allow them to
run from there. Not all would work, but many did. I had a list, but no
longer do, as for my subject area there was nothing much I could use
besides "Study Guide" & at the time I had not a single hard drive....

good luck!
