2.0 out of 5 stars This CD-ROM won't displace the old textbook anytime soon, July 21, 2000

By	Raman Joshi (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rheumatology CD-ROM (Windows) (CD-ROM)

I've been working with the CD-ROM for approximately one year now, and must say that I'm a bit underwhelmed. While it allows me to very easily transport a bulk of information from one city to another, this CD-ROM I often find difficult to work with.

The text is presented in a difficult-to-read font, the legends for photos/figures are difficult to read without expanding them, and if you print out a page you can only print one page at a time, and then only text. Occasionally the text gets translated into gibberish and you have to reboot.

I called someone at Mosby about the latter point and they conceded that the disc has problems running on many systems and gave some hints troubleshooting.

The text hardcopy itself is superb and one of the best medical/scientific texts I've ever come across.

My advice would be to either wait for the next edition to get the CD and hope that it'll be substially better next time around, get just the book, or get BOTH CD and book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to use with windows 98, November 14, 1998

This review is from: Rheumatology: Version 2.0, Hybrid (Hardcover)

An excellent texbook, but cumbersome CD-ROM. Installation instructions not accurate. Has older version of Quicktime. Difficult to save images. Seems to have been designed for Mac systems, although labelled as "hybrid".
