Sodexo North America is part of a global, Fortune 500 company with a presence in 80 countries. My latest book, “How To Be The World’s Smartest Traveler,” was published by National Geographic.Įlliott Advocacy is underwritten by Sodexo North America If I bought all of the issues of National Geographic on CD-ROM and could no longer view them, I’d also be unhappy.īefore we go any further, a big disclaimer: I am National Geographic Traveler’s reader advocate and an editor at large for the magazine.

Sean Corcoran, Lawrence, Mass.Īnswer: This is not silly at all. I also wonder if the disks now being sold could soon be worthless because the Society again decides to abandon its obligations once it has a customer’s money in hand. I am rather offended that the only solution offered is that I pay for the exact same thing twice. But it appears to me that the Society made a decision not to fulfill its obligation in this instance.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FELT ON CD ROM READER UPDATE
I would understand if the Society asked me to purchase the 2000s update or something, I’d understand that. The email went on to say I can now buy a 7 CD-ROM set. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. No updates are available for this version of the software, and we are no longer able to provide any technical support for the CD-ROM collection. “Unfortunately, as technology changed and improved, the Complete National Geographic Collection on CD-ROM became outdated and was discontinued in 2002. An inquiry to the Society resulted in this email: No way to view the magazines or search them. I went to use the set the other day with my son, and I learned it was no longer “supported” by the society. I’ve been lugging this box around for 14 years. It was about $200, and it came in a beautiful, red velvet-lined wooden box. Question: In 2000, I purchased a 30-disk CD-ROM set from the National Geographic Society with all the issues up to 1998. When Sean Corcoran’s CD collection becomes obsolete, he turns to National Geographic for help.
