HER Interactive NANCY DREW

$16.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
for other games, it was more of "nancy is here to kind of investigate" or "something terrible happened, so vacation is canceled and time to sleuth." also, the beginning of the game is thrilling
from www.amazon.com
i would recommend this to adults as well as kids because it's challenging on all levels.
from www.amazon.com
my daughters have played the entire series and it usually takes them a while to finish a game.
from www.amazon.com
this game is truly fantastic and a joy to play, although i reccomend it for older girls/teens/adults because some of the puzzles are difficult.

even though the idea of a teenager working for the government is highly unlikely, you were somehow able to believe it in this game!

mavis beacon makes you start from the beginning, and will not let you go back or review lessons, also the design and format are very poor, the word for it is "garbagey".

Individual Professor Teaches Office 2007

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it walks you right through the basics and more advanced areas of each product.
from www.amazon.com
if you need some advanced help, you probably won't find it here, but if you need to learn a new program from scratch or just want to know some more efficient methods to use it, it will work just fine.
from www.amazon.com
i have not used the complete program but it is good so far with its expla tions.
from www.amazon.com
it starts off assuming you hardly even know what the keyboard is, so for most 3 disc lessons, if your reading this you can probably skip the first disc.
from www.amazon.com
this is a good beginning course if you know nothing about office.
