Local alternate versions of MECC software?

Show all headers | View raw

When I was in early elementary school (so think 1985, 1986), I remember 
seeing several MECC programs - I know one of them was Elementary Volume 6 
- sourced from schools in Liverpool, NY and Syracuse, NY, which had 
alternate logos that I recall said "CNYICN" (may be something similar, but 
"CNY" is almost certain as that stood for "Central New York", and I 
remember trying to pronounce it "Sinnisinn").  I am pretty sure - not 
least because I accidentally defaced one of them once - that they lacked 
the copy protection of the MECC-branded versions.  I suspect this CNYICN 
may have been a regional equivalent of MECC in Syracuse.

I wonder if any of these still exist or were ever released.

It's a long shot, but Word Wizards and Bank Street Storybook, which were 
longtime "whales" of mine, did eventually show up...

-uso.
