With Bert & Ernie's Computer Phone, children will learn how to count and familiarize themselves with numbers, shapes, and colors, as well as develop social skills, like cooperation and acceptance of others. Winner of the EuroPrix 2000 Award, this colorful phone's 60 different scenes helps kids build skills, while interacting with Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, Elmo, and Big Bird.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, wonder if it works, March 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bert and Ernie's Computer Phone (CD-ROM)

Good idea, nice design, good packaging, problem is it doesn't work with Windows XP. And good luck trying to get support from the company, their US phone number picks up an buzzes, their website's "FAQ" is vague, when it's there, and their on-line "customer service" folks are downright rude. Can we give it a negative star? Same comment goes for the Elmo phone by the same company.

2.0 out of 5 stars System requirements are too vague, January 22, 2002

We never got to install this product. The ssytem requirements on the box say that it needs a sound card. It would not work on our system so we called tech support. They said that you need an analogue sound card and we had a digital. Had they been more specific on the package we would have exchanged it (it was a gift). Now it is open and we are stuck with a useless program.

4.0 out of 5 stars phone needs new cord, November 30, 2004

My daughter loves this program -- but her baby brother broke the cord on the phone. I don't know how to get a new one, so if one of the other reviewers wants to sell theirs...
Otherwise, it works fine in Windows98.
