Summary: Don't Buy Power Pack 2001
Review: Aug. 17, 2001 Webster's Gold Encyclopedia, the Food Lover's Encyclopedia, and the rest are apparently no longer being supported with an on-line site. Used to be you inserted the CD, called up the program and then you had a choice of browsing what you had off-line; updating the books, or recipes; or going on-line and browsing there.

I just tried updating, and going on-line with Food Lovers, and the misnamed New Millennium Encyclopedia and got zap, nada, nothing. When I tried contacting tech support listed on the Food Lovers CD, I got the Pearson home page, saying that Macmillian is now Pearson, and there's absolutely nothing there at all about this CD, or any other in the pack.

What a rip-off. We just bought the set a couple months ago, and certainly didn't expect this.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: Two of the cd's froze up on me when I tried to use them. Hoping that there was just something wrong with the copy I had, I exchanged it at the store. My replacement copy did the same thing. Don't buy this encyclopedia. My advice is to buy something more expensive, like encarta. It will be well worth the extra money!
