Hugh,

I've got this program. It's an entertaining, comprehensive reference with
photos, songs, range, size. A word of caution though, it requires a fast pc
with a lot of memory. I had a devil of time getting it to run on a 486\50 w
8 mg RAM, but it runs fine on a pentium with lots of RAM. You can also get
Birder's Diary with it which is essentially an Access database which is
really "slow as molasses" (tech support's exact words).

It is comparable to AviSys with more birds included.
