Apple Garageband Jam Pack: Rhythm Section

I bought this just for the electric rock guitars and was not disappointed. Power chords, feedback, distortion, everything you need for real sounding rock sequencing.

Printmaster 16 Platinum

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

October 04, 2005
I found the Printmaster Platinum 16 to be relatively user friendly, even for those who haven't tried using similar products before. But I also found it frustrating to frequently change the CD while attempting to create a card because the particular image needed was stored on a different one. I have changed the CD up to 3 times just for one card. I've used other printing programs where all the images were stored on the same CD, which was much more convenient. I'm not sure if 4 CD's are used because there is such a large volume of images available. I did enjoy having many more graphic images to select from than I'd had in the past.

Art Explosion T-Shirt Factory Deluxe 3.0

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Nova Development US

July 11, 2005
I read all of the reviews for this product before I purchased it to make political T-Shirts for this year's presidential election. I read and ignored the person who said that they couldn't get the software to work. I am moderately computer savvy, and figured that I could resolve any issues that may come up with installing the software. (How hard could it be?)
I was soon to find out how hard it would be.
The first of two installation disks didn't work at all. I got four error messages. Each time I resolved the error issue, I got a new one. The final error message said that I needed a new disk.
I contacted the company, and they sent me a new disk...Months later (on election day, as a matter of fact).
Undaunted, I attempted ... Read More:

Apple Garageband Jam Pack: World Music

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies

With Garage Band's standard-issue synth patches and loops, it was hard to make new music without using the same sounds more than once. With these Jam Packs, I can get lost just finding loops to use - which is a really good thing! Definitely worth the money!

Tonka Garage

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
by: Hasbro

1998
The game info includes XP compatible, but not for the all the games. When you go to test the vehicle that you fixed up, the screen goes black and all you can see is your vehicle. There are a few other areas that don't work all the way. My five-year old loves the game, but is very frustrated that he can't do everything. There is no technical support from anyone as the game is too old.

Construction Destruction

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

1998
This is suppose to be a cheap, simple kids game. It isn't any game at all. The control buttons don't work, and it quickly crashes my computer. (I have a P4 with XP that works well on everything else). There is no exit button, and control/alt/delete will not even get me out of this mess. So, I have to turn off the power to my computer (not a good thing), just to get out of it. I downloaded the patch for it. It doesn't help. This is another "value soft" product that seems to mean garbage, doesn't work, don't bother, and buy something else.
