Review Cross Stitch for Dummies / Focus Multimedia Ltd:Cross Stitch for Dummies is yet another CD in Focus Multimedia's ever-popular series. Designed specifically for those who are PC-challenged, the intention is to create "computer software made easy for everyone". Focus has dispensed with never-ending installations and confusing instructions, in order to prevent wasting time when trying to make the software work, so the program is very user-friendly. The only instructions are contained on the sheet inside the CD's plastic sleeve and show how to get it to work-how to run set-up, access the user guide for information and user support, and how to exit the program. It therefore goes without saying that the user-guide instructions contained in the program itself should be read and absorbed before beginning. It is a good idea to print these off for easy reference as they are excellent-concise, comprehensive and easy to follow, using actual screenshots from the program with written instructions and explanations of the terms used. Particularly helpful are the summaries of each step. Once you've read the instructions, you'll be ready to master the software and decide what to stitch. Choose the design from 700 templates in different categories ranging from alphabets and animals to signs of the Zodiac. You can then view the selected template in three different formats and the only step left is to print your creation with a list of what is necessary to complete it (remember to refer to the user guide). [+]Once your preparation is complete, begin your stitching and enjoy. Tailored towards the beginner, this is a superb starter program. The instructions included are superlative and will result in many happy hours sewing. -Susan Naylor.

Review Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking (PC) / Avanquest Software:Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking is a CD-ROM self-help guide for those wanting to give up the dreaded weed. Allen Carr once smoked 100 cigarettes a day. Then he stopped. Instantly. And apparently without any problems. Allen Carr's name is associated with clinics throughout the world, and now this software adds another way of accessing his stop smoking method. The CD-ROM's contents are divided into 17 chapters-the "Addiction" chapter shows that nicotine is a drug and explains that you get addicted to it faster than cocaine or heroin; "Special Cigarettes" gets to grips with those cigarettes that seem particularly good (for example, the one just after a meal or the first of the day)-Allen explains that the reason these are special is that they follow times when you couldn't smoke (because you were eating or sleeping) and that it's the addiction kicking in, nothing more. Work through Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking and you will understand why you smoke, and how you can get your attitude in order and stop right now. When you've worked through the CD-ROM (which you can easily do in a single session) you should be ready to stop smoking immediately. And with a 90 percent success rate you may never buy another pack again. [+]-Sandra Vogel.

Alan Titchmarsh heads up the team of experts and introduces the program by outlining the key features of the software-whether you wish to use it for reference, problem solving, garden planning or as a complete garden-care diary. The garden diary is the main feature of this CD-ROM. It outlines gardening tasks by type of garden and plant on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, as well as providing hints and tips on getting the most out of your garden. Use the comprehensive plant database as the starting point for beginning your garden diary. Plants are categorised by both common and botanical name-click on the plant that interests you and a new screen presents varied information from flowering, height, care and when to plant. You can then add this plant to your garden and it becomes a listing in your garden diary. When this plant needs attention you'll be notified of what and when. Looking for something new? Alan Titchmarsh presents a project each month, from cutting hedges to laying a patio or making hanging baskets for gorgeous colour and decorate around your home. After some inspiration? The "Gardens to Visit" section offers many suggestions of spectacular gardens you may wish to go see for yourself (the likes of Drummond Castle or the RHS Wisley Gardens in Surrey)-handy information such as location, opening times and a contact number are included. [+]Want to prevent your beetroot from thinning out? Interested in making your own compost? The "How to. " section is only a click away, where Adam Pasco has all the answers you're looking for.
