I just tried it in my Mac (using Virtual PC). I can confirm that the software is
awful. It's too bad.. looks like a lot of work went into it and it could have
been fantastic. ..kind of a tease of what could have been. I think it's worth
seeing if you haven't, but don't expect to want to launch it again. I found it
very frustrating.

But I really want to report on some of the CD's other contents. There's the LEGO
Creator manual as a .pdf file, a Merriam Webster dictionary set, a Bible thing,
some Lightdog "family" internet connection software, a couple teasers for other
LEGO Media sw products (LEGO Racers and LEGO Rock Raiders) and a coupon for a $5
rebate from LEGO.

Two LEGO Media titles I hadn't heard of before are mentioned as "Coming Soon":
LEGO Action Team and LEGO Stunt Rally. No pictures or other info there. The
coupon is a .pdf (image) and mentions two more products I haven't seen: LEGO My
Style Preeschool and LEGO My Style Kindergarten. The coupon expires 10/31/00.

So while eating my yum-yum cereal, I'll be holding my breath for more of that
amazing LEGO software.             ...heh. right.

Picture this: You're walking down the cereal aisle at the supermarket and suddenly, out the corner of your eye, you see boxes of cereal with little images of LEGO pieces! You look closer and -- it's LEGO Creator! On a CD-ROM! Bundled with Cocoa (...)
