Good Reference Guide

Britannica Encyclopedia 2005 DVD is really good encyclopedia it's also great because all those books are fitted in just one DVD, and we can also update our information online. It is also a source to enhance person's general knowledge. Other activities in the software are great and I encourage you choose this product.

Adequate (barely)

I have Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz PC with 256k memory and Win XP. Though I've loaded the Suite onto my hard drive, it's very slow to start up and slow to bring up articles and media. The Atlas really only serves as a SLOW visual index to articles in the encyclopedia since it only has country level maps and some links don't work. The media ranges from quite nice to outdated stuff they must have dug out of the broom closet. On the other hand, being Britannica, the content of the encyclopedia is good and the separate interfaces for adults, teens, and children has potential - if only they could speed it up! The rebates make this a product I'll keep, but rarely use - I could drive to the library and still get my answers from the Encyclopedia Britannica - maybe quicker.
