When you have to know everything about everything, it's hard to beat iMicrosoft Encarta Reference Suite 2001/i. This DVD (also available in a six CD-ROM edition) will help you find and organise information from almost a quarter of a million articles, including comprehensive text, pictures, sounds (even pronunciations) and video. More than just an encyclopaedia, the suite also contains time lines, the World English Dictionary, thesaurus, book of quotations, style manual, 2001 almanac and the Encarta Interactive World Atlas. This is a tremendous amount of information but more impressive is that it is updated monthly with online files that add to or modify the data on disc.pThe Suite comes with a one-year subscription to Encarta Online Deluxe, which permits you to access up-to-date information from any computer in the world via the Internet. The powerful cross-referencing afforded by hypertext and the Web makes online reference tools vastly more powerful than their paper-and-ink ancestors, and Encarta is clearly the most wide-ranging and thorough yet. The interface is child and adult-friendly, and the online help available makes learning incredibly easy--you can even ask natural-language questions and get strikingly germane references. It's powerful, it's portable and it will tell you practically anything you need to know. What more can you ask? --iRob Lightner/i

Encarta Reference Suite April 10, 2001
Mr. PT Farrell (Chichester, UK)
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Best of the Encyclopedia, topping Britannica for interest, multimedia and entertainment (though Britannica has a better natural language search engine). Save swapping CDs by getting the DVD version (which deserves an extra star) for its overwhelming ease of use. Fantastic help for children with their school work.
