Mavis Beacon Version 16

2008-02-23
I have version 16 and version 12.
Advantages of Version 16 over version 12.
***You can have the entire application installed on the hard drive. So you don't need the intall disk to run the application. Not so with Version 12. This is particularly benefitcal when I am using my laptop and want to maximize my battery life. Also this allowed me to install a version on my Desktop and my laptop.

Advantages of both
Have PC & Mac Versions
Both work on XP and on my Vista Laptop

Negative of both
The graphics have not changed in 4 versions. Why can't the software company make some really enhancement to the low res graphics. It seems like it's stuck in the 80s.

Thanks,
