5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good start, December 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mind Power Science Grades 7-12 (Win/Mac) (CD-ROM)

Probably it's not good for grade 10 - 12 who should read books instead. But I bought for my son who will be sixth grade next year. It's good for him to browse the contents and find what he is really interested in. I don't expect the software will replace books but it's good for starting.

I don't have problem to run the software but I do think I can write much better program than this one. It's slow and UI is not as good as it could be. I guess you can't expect too much for educational software considering its price.
