1.0 out of 5 stars Not really for MAC, November 15, 2003

By	Robin Lemon (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really can't give a review because I ordered this product to use on a MAC and the box is marked as a Window 95, 98, NT, 2000 product. Make sure you have one of these operating systems before ordering
