My Review (I am not a reviewer - Its just one personal view)
This is a major suite of just about everything a small business could need except for accounting, which could be done but is better handled by dedicated software. It does letters, planning, graphical presentations that run like videos, camera software to make videos, schedules, alarms, reminders, Web pages, etc. Not only does it do most office and sales tasks, but it can attend to the fine details. The Help is formidable, but you can question it in English, and usually near the top of its list of suggested topics, you will find your answer. It also has demos to take you through a lot of stuff. I have a major problem with it though, as it needs upgrading to run on Windows XP, and I have had to ditch using Approach (the database) the alternative desktop, the web cam, etc. But I only really miss my catalogue of videos which was on Approach, and allowed me to put several recordings on each tape and find them tape number and index time, with a few mouse moves. I will update one day, when I win the lottery, perhaps! |
