Customer Reviews

I LOVE THIS GIFT!
My son just gave me The Complete New Yorker: Eighty Years of the Nation's Greatest Magazine as an "early" birthday gift - He could NOT wait until July! It is wonderful! I will be 76 so I know all the covers and the cartoons - I also have 2 iMacs - both with 20" screens - so I can QUICKLY open up the entire magazine on one page and read it. The design is terrific - you can find anything you want in seconds - and what fun it is! I thought it might have cost as much as $400.00 - it is a great gift. Buy it for someone who loves the New Yorker - make that someone very, very happy.

Search function impossible
I am a faithful New Yorker Magazine subscriber and jumped at the chance to have the complete archive available on CD. Here's the problem that others may be able to help me with. Am I a complete dunce or is the Search function totally impossible? The Help page does not help.

I have been trying to find an article (year I can't recall) about domestic violence which told about how worthless protection orders are, that they are only good for "where to find the body." Protection orders don't protect someone. They won't stop someone from doing violence. In my search I've tried domestic violence, protection order, law enforcement, even where to find the body.

Is there some secret or basics that I've been unable to grasp? What a great concept to have a complete archive or The New Yorker. What a BIG disappointment that you can't find anything. Water water every where, but not a drop....

The presence of five-star reviews confounds me...
A short disclaimer:
I dearly love the New Yorker.

And I rarely feel the urge to return Christmas presents, but the Complete New Yorker is a deserved exception. The software is so poorly put together that the price tag is not at all justified. The programming is the sort I might expect from software on the $5 bargain rack.

I can deal with clunky interfaces, which the Complete New Yorker has in spades (can't save articles, search is far more difficult and inaccurate than necessary, indexing is poorly done). However, this program is maybe half USEABLE. Expect frequent crashes. I am completely unable to access entire issues due to various problems. Several whole YEARS of issues are inaccessible because of the reading errors caused by the software, and that is only including those that I have noticed on one disc. Others have complained about the search feature, which honestly I might have done without for my purposes. That I am unable even to read the magazine in a lot of cases because of inept software development is a huge disappointment.

And let's not forget that the program uses spyware to collect personal information and share it with third parties.

Wow. What a terrible product. I implore you not to buy.
