Summary: Fuzzy scans, but at least the magazine's available
Review: What can you say about the National Geographic? It's an old standard and a wonderful reference--no well-stocked library should be without it. Having it on CD leaves a lot more room on your bookshelves for other things.However--this is not the most user-friendly product. The quality of the imaging is the worst problem. Both pictures and text are fuzzy, almost as if they had been printed on an old dot matrix printer with a well-used ribbon. In addition, the program is less versatile than might be desired. For example, each screen consists of two pages, and there is no way to print only one of the pages, let alone a single image. Instead, you're stuck printing both pages, like it or not. (You can, however, print the entire article.) If this were anything other than the National Geographic, I would probably give it 3 stars instead of 4.
