1.0 out of 5 stars Money wasted, October 3, 2000

By	Suzanne Whalen "cwhalen" (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews

I am extremely disappointed with Personal Record Keeper 5. This item was purchased because we are military and constantly moving. It is imperative that we have good records of our household items due to the occasional loss of entire housholds during a government move.

While there were indeed many categories to list household items, there was no place to scan a photo or document. There is a box to tell me that there IS a photo of an item, but I assume that I am to store it in a shoebox. There is also a section to list military records and awards. It's a very nice thought but I don't think the Army will take a printout as proof if something should happen to the documents. Address books normally come with the software already on your computer. Pet records request that you list your pet's "personality", but there's no place to list shot records. The family member record format is better left to geneology programs. After about the hundredth time I was asked to input the location of a document, I wearied of typing "in the filing cabinet where it oughta be!"

This software is only for the organizationally dysfunctional stackers or junk drawer filers. If you have even somewhat tidy filing drawers, this program is completely unnecessary. The money is better spent on some new file folders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Update to previous review/ Nolo Press Customer Service, October 11, 2000

By	Suzanne Whalen "cwhalen" (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews

After Nolo Press received my review, I was contacted by their customer service department. I was told that since the software did not meet my needs, they would gladly refund my money. I purchased the software from Amazon and no longer had the receipt, but that was not an issue for the folks at Nolo Press. Nolo Press customer service gets 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Re: Nolo Press, October 2, 2002

By	Bobbi Iannetta (Lake Villa, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I read the initial review of Personal Record Keeper 5 by Suzanne Whalen, and so was hesitant to go ahead and purchase this, even though other reviews I've read have been so positive. Then I read her next updated review, and felt I had to write. Finally, a software company that cares about it's customers-how refreshing!!! It is nice to know that if a product isn't what you expected that a company is not only understanding, but proactive in making it right. It's too bad customer service for most software and computer companies is a lost art. I will not hesitate to buy any Nolo products in the future!!
