I cannot return it either (J&R policy). What a rip--no wonder it was only $10--it won't work in any of the current operating systems. DON'T BUY IT!

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2002
We bought this for our 2 year old daughter for her birthday as she had been expressing interest in using the "puter". This program is easy to install and run however we are somewhat disappointed that it isn't easier for our daughter to use on her own. The feather that is used as the pointer is small and somewhat difficult to follow and it isn't always clear what the activites require you to do. Our daughter does ask quite often to play with this, however, she usually ends up watching mommy or daddy as we need to move the mouse for her to get from one activity to the next. Additionally, the sound often skips (especially in the ABCs) although I don't really think that our daughter notices. It does offer a great range of activities, but given that it is marketed to 18 months and up, we feel the navigation could be made a lot better.

4.0 out of 5 stars I LIKE ALL THE SOFTWARE THIS COMPANY PUTS OUT, ON THE OTHER

HAND I HAD TO BE CAREFULTO NOT USE THE COMPUTER AS A BABY SITTER! AND AS FOR IT BEING FOR TODDDLERS... (18 MONTHS )... AND UP PUL-EEEEZ! TAKE YOUR 18 MONTH OLD BABIES OUT SIDE! DONT SIT THEM IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER SCREEN. This company makes alot of fine, fine software and this is no exception but marketing it to what I consider to be babies is a bit much... it can't be good for them and I know it's not good for my keyboard....apple juice doesn't clean up well. Buy this program but wait till they are a little older....

2.0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As Jump Start's Other Products
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2002
Most of the games/activities are much less stimulating than those of Jump Start's 18mo to 3yr-old version. In fact, some of them are so simple and shallow that it's hard to believe there isn't more to them that is inaccessible somehow due to a programming flaw. The butterfly selector is confusing and requires adult assistance. The program comes with two levels of play, and the level selector pops up anytime the mouse nears the bottom of the screen. This is bad because many of the child's activity zones are also located at the bottom of the screen. This means the level selector gets launched inadvertently every few minutes. The selector then covers up the section of the screen that the child is playing with. In addition, the level selector doesn't work according to the steps laid out in the directions. My husband and I are both multimedia developers and neither of us can figure this selector out. Our son enjoys 2 of the 6 activities, so I feel we got somewhat of our money's-worth. But I probably wouldn't purchase it again. My recommendation: stick with the Jump Start program for 18mo to 3yr olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start for beginning computer users
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2002
At around 2 years old my son began showing interest in computers. His dad is an IT Administrator so our son was around computers all the time. Also, he was (and still is not) interested in learning the traditional way (through books, play, etc.), but rather through computers. We were NOT disappointed with this piece of software! Through this program my son has learned most of the alphabet, shapes, numbers and colors. We have had this one for about six months and he has not lost interest in it.
However, there are some things that I was not pleased with. First, this product is recommended for children 18 months-3 years. It would probably be more suited for children 2 1/2 to 4 simply because it requires basic knowledge of how to use a mouse and the program does NOT teach this skill. Also, the concepts it teaches (letters, numbers, shapes, colors, music, animals, memory skills, etc.) are more geared toward the preschool crowd. Second, the layout is "busy" and it is hard to see all of the different entrance areas (even for me an adult). Finally, another minor complaint (it is very minor) is that the duck's voice can get annoying after 15 minutes or so for me, but my son enjoys it so this is tolerable.
Overall, I highly recommend this software, however, for children over the age of two.
