-but-
We keep upgrading to new versions of the card software to get new cards and in the apparently vain hope that the developers of the software will someday get their act together.
To say that this software is unstable is the understatement of the year. On average, one out of three cards causes the software to crash, usually after it has printed page one (outside) and before printing page two (inside).
No problem you think? Well not really. If you print page one of the card and it crashes, of course you lose all of the personalizations but if you restart the program and redo the personalizations you have to print out a whole new card because the program won't let you only print out the inside of the card onto the already printed outside.
Sure, the dialog box has a drop down that says "Page 2 of 2" giving you the "impression" that you should be able to do this but even with this option selected, it proceeds to print out the card, the whole card, yet again.
Needless to say this results in a lot of card stock wastage and card stock is expensive.
We have a Dell Dimension with a huge hard drive, 2.6 GHz hyperthreaded P4, 1GB of memory, and are running Home XP with SP2, with a HP color laserjet printer on an Ethernet so I really don't think that the problem is that we don't have "enough computer"...
This is simply the most unstable software we have ever used, and has been so for three product updates. (Why did we buy the latest one? Well, it turns out that old versions of the card software seem to "go bad" all by themselves with card choices simply disappearing, and so the software forces you to either stop using it or upgrade.)
Go buy a set of markers instead, it will be far less frustrating. The Sierra Home developers should be embarrassed that they put out such an amazingly poorly designed product. Hallmark needs to get a new software developer...
