Customer Reviews

Om MAC OS X a complete waste of time
Of 3 Discs, 2 won't load at all and main application only runs with program CD loaded in drive. It's like a flash back to 1984 when you had to run program from floppy disc drive. May be better on Windows but on Mac it's a complete waste of $20 and 2 hours.

One Star Because O wasn't an option!
I could only load two out of the three disks and the main disk wasn't able to load after two attempts. I am going to return the product.

not good
This could have been a nice typing program except for the fact that it needs to access the CD frequently. Everytime it accesses the CD, the program stalls so that when you are typing, the letters don't appear on the screen. When you re-type the letters, the previous letters would then appear, resulting in redundancy which counts as typos. It gets frustrating.
