LEARNING COMPANY The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition ( Windows/Macintosh )

Fun and educational game. I enjoy playing it in my spare time. Though the product said it would work with Vista… it sure didn’t! It was not compatible and it would not load at all after instillation. I tried it with an XP and it worked fine.

Customer Review: Fun Gameplay, DOES NOT WORK with OS X 10.4, 10.5
once installed on os x tiger, there was an error upon starting gameplay that the font “new york 18″ is missing. this is a native mac font from os 9 and, after a couple hours of fruitless searching, cannot be found for os x. after upgrading to leopard, this error is still present.

however - i simply installed the game on the windows xp sp2 partition (via boot camp) and it runs perfectly! so, don’t run in on your new mac os and you’ll be okay.

the game itself is fine, if you can get it to work. would recommend only under - gasp - windows only usage.

Customer Review: hey you docs & vets..
..using a white LED to perform ocular exams: YOU IDIOT NITWITS! How did you folks get through med school?! Remember “primum non nocere”? High frequency LEDs are damaging to the retina. That’s why there’s a warning on the packaging. FYI.
Customer Review: Handy Light
I own several Streamlight Stylus penlights, the standard penlight type and the one with a flexible head. They all have a narrow, but powerful beam. They are well constucted (aluminum bodies) and have a momentary switch that can be screwed in for a continuous beam. The standard Stylus is slightly longer and heavier than the average pen, but can be easily carried in a shirt pocket with the supplied pocket clip. The major down side are the 3 AAAA batteries required to power this unit. They can be hard to find and are slightly more expensive than their AAA counterparts. On the positive side, I find myslf using the Stylus more than my larger more powerful flashlights, simply because it’s handy size means I can carry one more often.
