I had a chance to try the PN-40 extensively on a recent off-trail desert hiking trip. The unit performed flawlessly, and though I'm pretty picky about features, at the end of the week, I still didn't have a wish list.
Delorme's new high resolution color aerial imaging is a real upgrade from it's previous topo and "satellite" imagery. Comparing side by side with Google Earth, Google has a slight edge on resolution, but it's pretty close. And for a mobile GPS, the resolution is more than you need, and you can zoom up on details that provide more than enough detail. Delorme's new subscription pricing option of $30 for a year's worth of unlimited map downloading is a much better pricing model than the old "pay as you go", which got expensive ... Read More:
I was also unable to get Kid Pix 3 to work on XP. After searching the internet, we found a way that was supposed to make it compatible. We followed every direction to make this thing work. It did end up finally loading, but then it would crash. Finally we found a tech support number. First we were told that there was only support on the web for KP3, but the website directs us back to call for support. We were bounced us back and forth and back and forth to different departments. NO ONE wanted to take responsibility to help us (Broderbund is notorious for this). They only gave tech support if we had Kid Pix 4! What a runaround!!!
FINALLY we talked to someone who found information in their system that said that KP3 isn't compatible for Windows ... Read More:

I just bought this and I recommend this highly to parents of preschoolers. I feel safe knowing I can walk away from the computer and my daughter is not only having fun but learning too.
The Cluefinders Math Adventures software is ok but it would be nice to have a manual or a how to play the game. It is pretty straight forward but you will have to stumble around a few spots in the game to figure it out. Overall if I had to buy the software over again I would look for the full retail package and not just the CD.
By far the best kids program I have seen, and I have looked at quite a few.
Old? Yes...and it shows...in a good way. You don't see the same level of quality and attention to detail in programming of modern kids edutainment titles.
Plays on XP fine, and has a seemingly infinite amount of replayability. Voice acting is top notch.
I rarely if ever say something is perfect, but I really cannot think of one negative about this title.
This took a 30-year-old mom and her 13-year-old son approximately 2 1/2 hours to complete. We are extremely proud of ourselves, despite being a bit chagrined at having kicked out the actual 2nd grader for whom it was bought. She lost 30 points from my character, which just could not be allowed.
It really is very educational and challenging for the grade level. Aside from the many trap door pitfalls, there are also math and language arts hurdles to jump, swing, or run through.
My son and I recommend this game for people of any age to brush up on basic skills, and if my daughter ever gets it out of our clutches and has a chance to play, I'm sure she'll agree.
This is yet another classic by the Carmen Sandiego line. This was the best of them all, and your kids will not stop playing it! It is more educational that I first expected, and has everything from grammar to spelling.
A good buy for your money. Sorry, a great buy for your money!

I have played a lot of other Barbie games and so I got this one since it had some good reviews. I found this game pretty boring and very easy though I think I'm a bit older than the age it is supposed to be geared for.
My younger sister who is the right age did not find the game interesting but she has liked other barbie games such as Barbie diaries: High School Mystery, and Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper which are fun games were you can dress up barbie and make her do all the sorts of dress up things most little girls like to do.
I found this CD Rom worth the buy. Doesn't have tons of games with tons of levels, but has very interesting ways to teach children time, geography, left from right, seasons, and a few other things! Just a great buy and I am all about teaching. Anything that is fun and teaches cant be bad and this was definitely worth the buy. It teaches things you just dont find on other games.
