Review

I just...viewed your Gems of Hubble 2.0. ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! ...I would like to complement you on the conciseness of the descriptions of the images. I can see I will be spending many hours on these pages. -Richard Medeiros ([e-mail])

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! The Apollo 11 and Gems of Hubble 2.0 and all the other PictureBooks are outstanding. These are the finest examples of HyperCard use and programming anywhere. The information contained in the PictureBooks is both highly educational, professionally presented and thoroughly enjoyable to browse through for hours on end. Everyone should own a copy of the ExInEd CD. Keep up the excellent work! -Daniel Albaugh, Memphis, TN ([e-mail])

Many thanks for the stunning images and text in this [Gems of Hubble] stack. I teach Biology but I always start the course with several sessions on cosmology. I hope the response is positive enough to cause you to produce more educational materials of this quality. -Dick Brown ([e-mail])

I have just received and am quite impressed with the Magellan at Venus Electronic PictureBook. I am a graduate student in aerospace engineering at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS where I give a large number of lectures on space science to students of all ages (from grade school through graduate research students. I have been using a set of digitized slides that I made up myself of Magellan data, but I like the immediate access to data on the pictures that is provided by your stack... -Joseph A. Huwaldt ([e-mail])

Thanks for the marvelous result of your electronic picturebook...I think your stuff is great. The format, HyperCard is super. I have tricked my daughter into learning something about space. -Dr. Stefan Lundqvist ([e-mail]) -- Reader Comments
