Custom 3D Home (Jewel Case)

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Valusoft

September 24, 2004
This program will not run on Windows Vista. I know the mimimum requirements say 98/2000/XP, but I bought other products with the same requirements and I got them running with one of the compatibility options. I've tried everything with this, but it would not save. And then, support is not available anymore. I thought a good idea to spend only $10 instead of $60 (another one I was considering to buy), but it was not a good idea. I'll dump this one now and go for the other one.

Macgourmet Deluxe

I had recently purchased another software title to organize my recipes and then found MacGourmet Deluxe. The short learning curve and ease of use made tossing out other a no brainer. While not as simple as copy and paste the ability to import recipes from websites and other text documents is a winner in my book and is much easier than in any other product I've tried. The chef view is great if you work off a laptop while cooking. I definitely recommend!

eMedia Rock Guitar Method

I would really prefer a lesson were the video plays most of the time. This is mostley reading the screen, which is very small and they are so paraoid that you will copy it that they disable printing, The video really does not help much and i have been through half of the course. I personally would reccomend metal method with doug marks over this.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 16 [Old Version]

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Broderbund

May 17, 2004
I was already a very speedy typist when I bought Mavis Beacon for my husband, and for fun I tried the programme too: well, it immediately spotted my weak point: symbols and numbers (I rarely have to use them!), and earnestly presented me a lesson on those. I was mortified and I laughed, so started using it myself. This is one of the wonderful features: the programme sees where your weaknesses are, and in the next lessons concentrates on those. Then my son grew up, and started using it, then my daughter was born, and now she's almost 11 and has also started using it... of course it's a different version now, the third I own. I find it as brilliant as it was, although I must say that the changes from v.9 to v.16 are not that many. But then, if a thing ... Read More:

I agree that Wordperfect is great and can't be beat. To get a document in this variation of the program into a pdf file open your .wpd file in OpenOffice and export it as a .pdf file. OpenOffice is free and runs on all versions of Windows. No need to spend money on Microsoft Office.........

Calendar Creator Version 12 Deluxe

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Encore Software

October 05, 2005
I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use Calendar Creator 12 Deluxe yet, but it has worked well so far. It is easy to get around in. Icons "make sense". It would be nice if the roller wheel on my mouse could move the page up and down. You have to click on the button on the side bar to do that.

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 With GPS Locator[Old Version]

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Microsoft Software

October 03, 2005
I used this software to map a trip across the country from New York to Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and a couple more stops. If your stops are near major roads then this software usually works. But if your stops are off the major roads then the software doesn't know if it's routing you on a paved road or a dirt road. The software routed me on a dirt road for 46 miles. So 20 miles from my last stop I had to come up with my own route after running into the dirt road. I ended up having to drive back to where I started from. On another occasion the software directed me to a road, but there was no road.

The software comes in useful when you've missed a turn. Press F3 and it will find a route back to where you want to go and direct you. Other ... Read More:

Punch! Home Design Studio Pro (Mac)

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Punch! Software


Cool product with free video tutorial examples under the "Help" icon while using the software, but this is definitely not for beginners unless you really know your construction work. Inches, centimeters, etc. I would rather higher someone to use this for me. Great overall product. Really advanced software and I'm a beginner.
