Encore Software PrintMaster Gold 18 - Windows DVD

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


I've been using this software product for about 6 years and I make everything from greeting cards to bulletins and flyers and pages of pictures for scrapbooking and beautiful calendars. Very easy to teach yourself in half an hour. The only drawback is it runs off the CD so it is slower than most other programs that are loaded on your computer. I've bought the newest version so I'm good for another year or so.

I can't really specify how the product was since I never received it. Fortunately my money was refunded, but the item wasn't delivered ever.

Incredible Hulk the Complete Comic Collection Win/Mac

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Git Corporation

March 07, 2007
I had never even heard of this DVD before (or the others in the series) and jumped on it immediately when I saw it on Amazon! I can hardly believe that this product exists! Every issue of Hulk (including Tales to Astonish) from inception to December 2006. Incredible!! (Pun intended) What makes this disc extra great is that each comic is a scan of an original copy, ads, fan letters, everything included. It really is mind blowing. I'd have paid twice the price. I can't even imagine what this collection would cost to own in hard copy form. This disc is discontinued so any Hulk fan should snap this up right away while you still can! My highest recommendation!!

ClipArt&More 3 Million

Outstanding Value, Buy For Online Subscription!

"Clipart&More 3 Million" really is a gem of a buy, if you know what you getting! As other reviewers have noted, the included CDs are basically useless and I do not use the included program at all (hence the 4 out of 5 star rating).

Included in this package is an activation code for a 1-year subscription to the clipart.com website (normally a 150 dollar fee). This is a very good site with 10 Million images (reported), a good search tool, and easy to download features. In addition, the usage and licensing agreement is very generous and allows me to use the images in my personal project (kid's homework, fliers, etc), advertising for our business and, even in our professional ...

Dinosaur Chess: Learn to Play

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


I have more to say about this great program. I tried out 3 childrens/beginners chess programs on my 5-year old daughter:
1. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess
2. Fritz and Chesster 1 & 2
3. Dinosaur Chess

The first 2 programs were written for older children and were too difficult for my daughter to grasp. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess is for beginners ages pre-teen to adult (10+). It's an excellent piece of software, but my daughter can't read just yet so it is way above her head. If I sit next to her and guide her through the program's mini-games and activities she can pick things up, but I definitely have to sit down next to her and navigate through it the whole time. The Fritz and Chesster series are also excellent ... Read More:

Quicken Willmaker Plus 2007 Estate Planning

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Home and Hobbies
from: Nolo Press

August 08, 2006
I bought this in 2006. The software is easy to use, and helps you to create many, many documents for household and personal financial management. I have used it for myself and for my roommate. It has saved us thousands of dollars in legal fees. I keep my copy current via updates from the company. You can still use it after 2007; they just add a warning on one of the cover sheets when you print stuff, advising you that you have an old copy (but the warning is not part of your document). I would buy this again, if I needed it.

Lego My Style Kindergarten

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


This game is not as good as the preschool version, which is great. Even the kids said they did not like it. There wasn't much to it. It was more on the level of beginning computor skills. The company should redo it or rename it to 2-3 year olds.

Sibelius First - Music Notation Software

My wife is a songwriter and was able to quickly and easily learn this software and use it to compose a choir piece. It's obviously not as powerful as the full version, but definitely is a better value. The Sibelius forums are very helpful for whatever you can't figure out.
