Review title: Stay away from Microtek!!!!!!!!!!! Product review: My experience with Microtek has been a nightmare. They are rude and of no help whatsoever. When I received the scanner the inside of the glass was dirty so I called Microtek (no toll-free number) and was told to remove the top four screws and the top of the scanner would come off and I could then clean the glass. I did exactly that and the power button fell off and was broken. I then emailed them explaining the problem and they told me that my warranty was void and that I physically abused the machine!! In addition to that I attempted to purchase the parts and was told "we do not sell parts for our machines". What? So if you purchase a Microtek scanner and the warranty runs out, you are screwed. MICROTEK IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH IN MY 40 YEARS IN BUSINESS.

Product review: This is a $20 demo. You can only get to level 2 out of 12 before you are directed to a website that wants to rip you off for an additional $8 a month. I am incensed about this. It *does* say on the cover "additional lessons with membership fee" but for $20 I expect to get more than about 4 hours of play out of a game. Very bad business model. Very deceptive packaging as well. Says nothing about only providing two levels of play. I'll never buy anything from these jerks again. And that's too bad because they're the only ones out there with decent computer games for this age group. They really shouldn't need to resort to tricking people. Did I mention being furious!? I hope some other company comes along and puts these weasels out of business.
