This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary & Thesaurus Deluxe A (CD-ROM)

This is an excellent product in the ease of use and the information it supplies. I recommend this product . I did have difficulty installing this product on my computer. This product was not an automatic install from their disc. It seems that Innovative Knowledge provides no instructions on installation of their product with the package. The disc automatic installs a Academic Fitness Control Prom or Panel first. From this you have to figure out how to install "Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary and Thesaurus" on your computer. I email Innovative Knowledge and to my surprise they email me back within ½ hour. I had to email them twice before I figure out how to install the program but they email me back within the hour. I do not know if their technical support will be like this for everyone but I give 5 stars on how fast their technical support email me back on the same day within the hour. It would be nice if more companies provide instant chat. I think this would be a 5 star product if Innovative Knowledge would only supply installation instructions along with their disc but the progam itself is excellent.
