    1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid if at all possible, 17 Jan 2005
    By A Customer
    This CD-ROM of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations is best avoided. The ifinger interface is a disaster. For example, if you wanted to find Portia's speech from The Merchant of Venice which beings 'The quality of mercy ...', if you input just that it will tell you it can't be found. However, the quotation is on the CD, it's just that you need to search for Shakespeare, then find Merchant of Venice then access the speech. In other words you need to know the speech is from The Merchant of Venice. This is one of the least user-friendly pieces of software I have ever come across. Perhaps someone can persuade Microsoft to include a dictionary of quotations on Encarta - now that really would be useful.
