| ***'''User Review:''' The company puts out some decent content and their customers wanted a program that worked with their content cds, so they threw together the worst program I have ever used and bundled it with their other stuff. The hassle is not worth any convinence that being able to interface with their content may provide. Unfortunately (true to the ms phenomenon) people seem to use what comes with their other software. (eep! Even this now belongs to MyFamily.com)
