The Merck Index: CD-ROM Windows, Version 12.3

Rating:
Summary: Just received it, tried it, not too impressed, yet
Review: I just received, tried it, and I am not too impressed. For this amount of money I expected at least a more effective graphic user interface (anyone can do that now). But this CD performs slow, and it does not seem to have an effective search capability, so, I think it can't compete with the hard-copy.

Rating:
Summary: Good Choose
Review: It is a very good edition, of course, the last and the best. Every time I have used older versions, so I cannot compare it with before edition. But I have to say that CD Rom is fantastic. Very complete. It is a very good choose

Summary: Good Material - Terrible Value!!!
Review: What were they thinking when they put a $250 price tag on this CD? The words "u·su·ri·ous" and "ca·pri·cious" leap to mind. The Merck Index is a classic reference manual that belongs on any chemist's (or related professional's) bookshelf. But for a price difference of $205 between the cd and the printed book, the cd is just too poor a value to justify buying. Publisher take note and drop the price to a reasonable $49.99!
