2 out of 5 stars Just a little better than OK   September 19, 2004

I got this as part of my kids' curriculum for this year. Whilst the articles about the different countries are good and informative, the link to update the information is obselete. The maps are quite good, but I cannot get a close-up version of any map, so when the kids are to find a particular island that is smaller than say, 200 miles wide, it will be invisible. Like I said in the title, it's a little better than OK.


1 out of 5 stars Hard to Believe...   September 11, 2004

I would give this software no stars if I could!

This program came on my iMac in 2003 and was an awesome product. However after paying for the 2004 edition I found that updates are no longer available. That means that no articles from 2004 are available to me. I used the given e-mail address to inquire about this problem, only to be told that this was only a temporary situation. Today I clicked on the link to contact World Book, and it no longer works. I would ask for my money back, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get in touch with the company. The part of this that I find hard to believe is that this product is still for sale.

CUSTOMER BEWARE is all that I can say at this point.

I tried installing this software. It installed. But when I tried to run the application, it gave an error message about sound installation and quit running. What an useless software.


2 out of 5 stars Ok, but nothing great   March 26, 2003

First off, I can't even register it because the domain doesn't exist in the first place! second, i can't run the atlas because it says the sound devices were installed incorrectly, now who's fault is that? I didn't install it, it installed automatically! The articles are a little too brief too, and the encyclopedia has a hard time connecting to my cable modem to get on the internet. These are not things i would expect from a professional encyclopedia. If i could do it again i would pay the extra 10$ and get the encarta.
