...favorite demographic group. Laurel, a veteran of computer-game wars going back to Atari, has lately taken on the mystery of why there isn't better software for girls. The result, backed by the deep pockets of Interval Research, the high-tech think tank of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, is a start-up called Purple Moon, whose debut CD-ROMs will be unveiled in two weeks at the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo in Atlanta...
