An Utter Disaster Apr 09, 2009
By Tom Oliver
I am off to Africa, the Taita foothills below Kilimanjaro, where I plan to spend a year or two working on a novel. Can't be lugging my Bartlett's, so I opted for Oxford Quotations on CD. Install it to the hard drive, or onto a flash drive, along with Mr. Webster and the Rand McNally World Atlas and a few other choice references.
Then I discover that Oxford Quotations must be online. Online? I won't even have electricity. I'll be recharging spare laptop batteries by solar panel. Transferring the reference CDs to a flash drive was intended to minimize battery consumption. If there was anything in the marketing material about the quotations being online only, I certainly didn't see it. I thought I was buying a CD of Oxford Quotations, not a CD that simply installs a program for searching for quotes online. I already have an online quote reference, and it is called Google.
This CD is worthless to me.

Nice idea Oxford, but no cigar. Nov 25, 2008
By Old enough to know better
I have Windows XP professional and installed this software. Very easy to set up. When you want to look up a quotation, it is supposed to direct you to a web site. OK - I can handle that - except EVERY time I tried to connect to the web site (which the program does by itself), the old "Cannot Display Page" came up. Uninstalling and reinstalling (twice) did not help at all. I have other Oxford software products and they have all been great, so this one is a major disappointment. Amazon requires that you give at least one star to any product you review. That's unfortunate, but then if I wrote what I really thought, Amazon would have to say "Cannot Display Page" for my review. In any case, if you would like a free copy of this software, please check in the dumpster behind my office.
