Lotus 1-2-3 Lotus Approach Lotus FastSite Lotus Freelance Graphics Lotus Organizer Lotus WordPro Lotus SmartCenter
With the office suite market now whittled down to just three major players - Corel, Lotus and Microsoft - some business users are making decisions based solely on their recognition of a company name. That's not particularly clever, as the products from these three vendors differ greatly. Lotus' latest venture is this slightly premature Millennium Edition, which brings together several office-related applications in a single package.
For users familiar with Microsoft Word, Lotus' word-processor has a somewhat unusual interface, but the change is not unwelcome. There's a fair amount of thought gone into the design of this latest version of Word Pro; for instance, if you want to create a header or footer, just click the mouse in the appropriate part of the page. There are context-sensitive menus (which can be altered to mimic Word or WordPerfect) and bubble help, single-click access to important features such as the page layout box, easy creation of tables, frames and styles and so on. There's a good range of import and export formats, too, including the latest versions of competing products such as Microsoft Word.
1-2-3 was the spreadsheet application that helped to sell early PCs, and it's still going strong today as part of this package. In most respects it is similar to the version that shipped as part of SmartSuite 97, but there are plenty of new formulae functions.
Other applications which will be familiar to SmartSuite users include the Approach database package and Freelance Graphics presentation program, and the latest versions of these two are also included here. So is Organizer, Lotus' handy time- and contact-management package that has one of the best user interfaces of any PIM available. There's a copy of ScreenCam, too, for multimedia authoring, along with the latest Web browsers from Microsoft and Netscape and a Lotus e-mail client. New to this release is FastSite, Lotus' Internet/Intranet publishing tool, aimed at end-users who want to publish several files in HTML format simultaneously. It provides an easy way to link pages together, with all the main components of SmartSuite able to import and export data in HTML format. The majority of these applications can be launched from the single-click icons placed on the taskbar by the install program.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
