Excellent memories! I used PC Globe so much when I was in elementary school. I didn’t have an encyclopedia, and when some friend handed me that diskette it opened a new world to me. I ran that software so much that I memorized the world map, with capitals and population orders of magnitude.
My geography teacher was so impressed, they didn’t know how a small kid could have memorized the world. I even knew some anthems by playing them on the PC Speaker. Over time we all got Encarta, then Wikipedia, but for a brief amount of time, a floppy disk contained the world for many of us.
