Hi All,

We are looking for a globe and having a hell of a time finding what we 
want.  Here's the idea, maybe you've seen something like this, a big 
globe sitting in a cradle that kids can spin around like a mouse ball. 
They can see the southern hemisphere just as easy as the north.  Custom 
stand and we were hoping for a big globe, 30"+.

We've been in contact with One World Globes, Seattle, which seemingly is 
the only supplier of globes in this hemisphere.  They think the idea is 
folly and state that all globes will flatten a little in the middle for 
reinforcement of the joining of the halves.  We're still talking to them 
but wonder what the list thinks.

Any experience with this?  Tried this before?  Where do you get your globes?

Jay
