Because Navigator is a virtual house, it includes life like rooms. The first room you enter is the Living Room. It includes the home electronics that come with your Packard Bell like your midi player, your fax machine, your phone dialer, speaker settings, CD player, and etc.
This is the "Software Room". It includes the games, accessories, utilities, and more that comes with your Packard Bell. As I mentioned, I used to play "My First Encyclopedia", "The Pirate Who Wouldn't Wash", and "Milly Fitzwilly's Mouse Catcher". Those games are present all over the computer including the Software Room.
This is the "Info Room". It includes the manuals, help files, and tutorials for your Packard Bell. It also includes Internet Provider Access for America Online, the now dead Prodigy, and the now dead CompuServe.
And of course, the Navigator map. It's basically an overhead view of the house. It looks bigger on the inside.Later, I'll post pictures of the Arc Workspace and the Arc Kidspace.

I remember the Packard Bell Navigator, too. Since I was a little older and better with computers at the time, it didn't stay on mine very long, but it was a good interface. Great flashback, man.
I love Navigator! Not too many other people seemed to like it, though. It looks as though you have Navigator 3.5. The only version I "grew up with" was 3.9. Since my original Packard Bell gave up the ghost in 2002, I've tried to get Navigator to work on other computers, and it wasn't until almost two years ago that I figured out how. Anyway, thanks for sharing the pictures!
