I grew up on MECC on Apple IIs, our schools had their monthly--or was it quarterly?--software subscription.

Checking out the wikipedia page, seems like TLC bought them, and then TLC themselves got bought and gutted by some ruthless businessmen at a company called SoftKey. TIL it was none other than Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary that was part of that takeover. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftKey

SoftKey played a major role in the dissolution of the edutainment industry by the turn of the millennium.

ugh :(

The company pioneered revolving racks with software packaged in standard CD jewel cases, allowing them to display three times as much product.

Oh wow this brought back the memory of those things sitting on the floor at CompUSA. It didn't take long to associate those sorts of displays with absolute garbage shovelware.
