1.0 out of 5 stars What a sorry surprise!, September 6, 2007

This review is from: COSMI 3D World Atlas & Almanac (Windows) (CD-ROM)

At first glance, this program appears to be a great resource for the price. That is, until you begin to zoom in on the graphic earth display. What do you get? Something right out of the '80s Commodore 64 era! PIXELS! Great, huge ever enlarging blocks of non-data! What a farce it is to suffer this level of non-resolution in this day and age.

I really don't understand how something like this can even be marketed at all. I deleted the program from my hard drive. It is just a waste of space.
