Review:

I remember seeing this program as a kid at Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry. Back then it was in its earliest stages, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now, its excitement factor has diminished, but it's still pretty interesting.

This is a great program for introducing your parents or grandparents to computer use. It's also a fun tool for the classroom, especially to use as a treat on individual students' birthdays. The certificates are also nice to give to students to take home.

The newspapers are sort of fun to give to friends on their birthdays, especially if you're throwing some kind of flashback (e.g., '80s) party. It's amazing to see how much the world has changed, and I'm pretty young!

On the flip side, the program seems a little expensive for being as simple as it is. Other than that, it's a good investment.

Conclusion:

Worth a try, especially if you love history or nostalgia.
