MATERIAL WORLD: A GLOBAL FAMILY PORTRAIT (StarPress Multimedia, CD-ROM for PC and Mac, $39.95) Narrated by former CBS newsman Charles Kuralt, this refreshingly intimate disc features 30 families from around the world baring their souls in an intimate questionnaire. Then, proudly, oddly, they place all their belongings outside their homes to be photographed. (You can zoom in to see things more clearly.) Video footage and indigenous music take you through a continent-by-continent family album of varied, often back-breaking days. The clan in Sarajevo, for instance, often must stay inside because of snipers. A -Harold Goldberg
