I originally used this product because it came with my computer, back in 1995. It was so simple to figure out that I ended up using it for all my professional work. It is interchangable with most other programs such as Adobe Photoshop, MS Word or even with the internet.

The saved data automatically went into the upgrades without loss of information. Definately get this!

The Bonesetter's Daughter didn't have the same heartwrenching tragedy as some of her other books but it certainly captures your heart. I think Ms. Tan lived a past life or at the very least, experiences the ghost visitations she so often writes about. Ruth, the main character, is so similar to the average woman. Her troubles with relationships from a previous marriage, her worries about an aging mother, trying to keep her love alive and the constant critism of herself… Read more
