2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Only 1 of 3 discs is Mac OS X compatible!, September 5, 2005

This review is from: Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten (PC & Mac) [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

The packaging is very deceiving. Only one of the 3 CD's is Mac OS X compatible, Although the other 2 do launch, they launch in OS 9 emulation (classic) mode. OS X has been out for what, 5 years and they haven't upgraded all their software yet!

Very disappointing
