[LM_NET] HIT: DK electronic encyclopedia

[Debra Allen <kidsbooks2002@YAHOO.COM>]

Several weeks ago I asked if anyone knew of a demo of
the DK electronic Children's Encyclopedia.  Apparently
there is no demo, so I purchased a copy to evaluate.

I was very disappointed.  The graphics quality is
poor, the program is difficult to use, and there is no
way of researching by specific topic.  (The program
provides "environments" to explore--not my definition
of an encyclopedia.)  I have been assured that I can
return the software and get a refund.
