Great Learning Tools 
2004-11-12
I just purchased this product for my 4th grade son. We have found the product to be very complete. Every subject seems to be covered. Although the software looks like it has been licensed from 3 outside sources they all have easy to use interfaces. It is very convenient to have all the products cataloged on 2 DVDs instead of having a stack of Cds to shuffle through. I think this is a great supplement to my sons current school curriculum. His grades have improved and he actually doesn't mind getting off his PS2 to do a little studying on the weekends. I would recommend trying this if your child needs some extra help with his/her schoolwork.
Stay away from this horrid collection of misfit programs

Stay away. This products appears to have never been tested before
it was shipped!
Claims of Win98 support? Requires patches from their web site.
Once patched, "DVD1" lauches DVD #2 and "DVD2" launches DVD #1.
How hard can that be to find before you ship the product?
This is a collection of many CDs combined onto 2 DVDs. However,
all the programs have different presentations, different
interfaces. They all look, feel and act differently, confusing my
younger elementary school child.
Launching the Math programs from the menu starts an installation
of the math programs in a hard-coded, set directory and then
requires your elementary school child to know that those programs
are run from the Start Programs window while the other programs
are launched from the DVD. Trying to run the math programs from
the DVD again just installs the already installed program...
again (but of course, doesn't actually start the math program).
This collection of many different programs appears to be the
result of someone buying a bunch of different programs from
different companies at some open market in a foreign land where
software is cheap. Each one by themselve may be a fine program.
Once you put them together onto a DVD for grades 1-5, it becomes
confusing.
My Elementary School Child doesn't like to use this, and I can't
blame her.
