NOTE: I have had two complaints that the disc will not load, both from owners of Mac iBook G-4 Computers. I now think we have a work-around as well as a more comprehensive fix. Thanks to the MAC owners who have helped in these solutions.
IF YOU HAVE A MAC PLEASE EMAIL PRIOR TO ORDERING THE DVD.
SUGGESTIONS:
WORK-AROUND
Click on contents.html within the large 1.5 gig ORBIT folder
Likewise try indexback226.html within the large 1.5 gig ORBIT folderand hit the arrows at page bottom for the chronological pages to track through.
Looks like the older MACS and iBooks might have an OS X upgrade [Tiger]:
Apple - Mac OS X - Upgrade - System Requirements
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/requirements.html
Make sure you get proper advice on this upgrade. I am MAC-challenged myself having never owned one.
I might be able to upgrade the DVD somewhat for the MAC. Working on it now. Be glad to send the MAC owners a copy, even if you already have the current DVD. Give me a few days so I can trundle down to Fry's and test it.

THANK YOU, KENT !
Success! ...both files:
1) contents.html : i can open this page, it looks good, and i can navigate through the buttons ( i tried a bunch of them ).
2) indexback226.html : i can open this page, the arrows at bottom seem to work, as well as the links ( tried a couple arrows and a couple web links and they worked ).
post these tips on your site for other Mac users. this is simple and everyone will understand the work around.

NICE to hear from you.
I have an Apple Computer and just want you to know everything relating to Internet Protocols and file management and programming (HTML) websites are basically UNIX. While Apple runs its OS on top of a UNIX system there is a basic compatibility with the web, not windows/dos.
I learned on a 4.7 MHz DOS 3.3 Intel machine in 1990!
I will tell you computers have not evolved too awfully much in that time excepting speed and 'pictures', you see this the case, also?
Programming should have come a long way since and is something noticed by me.
Very much interest in your website; the fixed links in the disc are a BIG HELP.
-------------------------------------------------
MORE COMPREHENSIVE FIX
I hope the disc will work for you. I made some changes, 7/17/07, by putting two files inside the 1.5 gig folder: ORBIT. When you get it, open
YOUR DVD PLAYER\ORBIT\macstart.html
likewise for the search engine
YOUR DVD PLAYER\ORBIT\macsearch.html
If you have a PC with XP, no problem. Turn your autoload on and you are off n' running.

The DVD works great on my MacBook.
Thanks for the memories!
If any of you Apple computer owners want the 7/17/07 upgrade let me know. Windows computers upgrade not needed.--Kent
HOW DOES THE DISC WORK ON YOUR COMPUTER? WINDOWS OR MAC? IS EVERYTHING OK?
