1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Support - Doesn't work!!!, January 4, 2011

This review is from: Dilbert Bubbles: Electronic Calendar (Calendar)

I got this calendar for Christmas and thought it looked very cool. However, when I went to install it on a computer, it received an error that it wouldn't work on that computer. The specs were fine (I was using a dual core i5 processor, 6 gigs memory, fully loaded machine with Win 7), but it wouldn't load. So I shifted over to my laptop to give it a try and now the system says I already downloaded it and won't let me get access. They provide support only by email and so far have not been able to give me any response at all. I suggest you avoid this company and stick to the paper calendar for now. Maybe after these jokers are gone someone else will implement the concept much better!!

For now, don't buy the e-version!

1.0 out of 5 stars IT Security hazard and no support response, September 13, 2011

This review is from: Dilbert: Bubbles Electronic Calendar (Calendar)

My daughter bought me this calendar as a birthday present, because she knew I love Dilbert cartoons. Unfortunately, the Bubbles Calendar people are lying about the system requirements...

Contrary to any statement on the product packaging, the so-called "software" requires Adobe Flash and Adobe Air products to work, which represents a serious IT security hazard - thus the electronic calendar is useless.

I contacted the Bubbles support people three times without response, and reviewing other comments, I'm not alone.

So be warned, and do not waste your dollars on a crappy product that does not work. What a rip-off.
