Software package containing a CD-ROM for "Bill Nye The Science Guy Science Adventure Series," by Pacific Interactive, Seattle, 1996

This software package is part of a collection donated by Frank Catalano who was one of the first local broadcast journalists to cover the personal computer revolution in the 1980s. At that time, he created and hosted the weekly Northwest Computing show for KING-AM and, in the 1990s, tracked the tech industry with a long-running "Byte Me" column that first ran in Eastsideweek and then Seattle Weekly. Frank also aired news segments several times each week on KCPQ-TV Seattle until the early 2000s. Pacific Interactive, a Seattle-based technology solutions company, released this software program in 1996 and features the popular Bill Nye The Science Guy, a celebrity scientist who started his career as a mechanical engineer for Boeing in Seattle.
