When I first bought the product, I didn't think that it would come close to Britannica or Encarta. But when I first used it, I found it very resourceful and a very cool tool to use to gather information on one topic. Since I was a Greek Mythology expert, I tried finding information on Greek characters. And there it was! Some of the people and events that I didn't even learn was right on there! It also has cool features like media center, which allows you to choose to search for one kind of information, for instance: sound, music, photos, etc. The virtual library is the most easy way now to do whatever you want with the books on the shelves, and there's also a cute wizard librarian to read to you. In the research center you could make your own binders and collect all the information you found for your paper. You could search also by using keywords, full text, and title topic... When doing research on a country, it gives you full information from economy to climate, and also comes with maps of the country and large cities. It is the coolest reference work you can get for a price this low! Now thanks to this product everyday I have to spend three more hours in front of the computer (oh great, now I'll need glasses), I couldn't tear myself away!
