I'd love to hear from anyone interested in creating and/or using the Sector Globe. If you have used the Sector Globes, are interested in using them, have a classroom or other application for them, have a question or suggestion, or would like to suggest a new property to be mapped with a Sector Globe, please email me. - B A K.
