I just received new disks from Edmark, and now Millie's Math
House works perfectly on our Mac Plus. So my conclusion is that except
for the occasional bad disk :-(, Millie's Math House works fine on all
Macs except for some problems on the occasional Mac IIsi.
After all the false error messages, it makes me kind of wish
that the installer would have better error detection and/or
checksumming. Apparently no checksum was done to verify that the
installation was correct (?).
My daughter loves the program, by the way ...
