Title: SAMS - Teach Yourself COBOL in 24 Hours
Product review: I TRIED to install the programs that are on the CD, and the problems began, that was about 6:00, at 9:30, I finally gave up and did an XP Restore, YES it was that bad.During the installation a dialog box asked for the serial number on the CD. There wasn't ANY number, not on the CD, not on the CD-holder, not in the READ-MEs, NO NUMBER.So, I did an uninstall, that didn't work.When I rebooted, a MS NOTEPAD error occurred and about 4-5-6 programs opened and cascade-failed. The messages were "insufficient memory".I couldn't access GOOGLE, to send an e-mail.NOW, after an XP Restore, the PC seems to be back to normal.I HATE THIS CD-BOOK combination.For me, NOTHING worked.Now that I can access GOOGLE again, I'm going to e-mail "SAMS" and RANT.- - -I hope you don't have the same experience as I did.- - -Do a System Back-up BEFORE trying to install the JUNK on the CD.G.
