 NatGeo DVD Collection Jul 20, 2010
Fantastic DVD collection; easy to use. I have enjoyed going back to the very first National Geographic articles I enjoyed reading as a child in the early Sixties. Highly recommended!

 HORRIBLE SOFTWARE - SLOW, DOESN'T WORK, 20 years out of date Jul 14, 2010
Whoever decided to re-market this National Geographic content this year should be given one more chance to get it right, and if he/she can't do it soon, should quit or be sacked. National Geographic, I expect nothing less than a FULL REFUND and/or a FULLY FREE copy of this DVD collection when you finally manage to get it right and rerelease this, again.
In 2002 NG made the content from 1888 on available on CD but I held off because the software was rumored to be full of bugs, slow, prone to constant crashes and scanned at very low quality low resolution. So I held off until today and bought the DVD version when I saw it in a nice new package, advertised as being good with both PCs and Macs, thinking that in all those years they would have gotten their act together. WRONG! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS HORRIBLE SOFTWARE, IT IS SIMPLY FRUSTRATING EVEN FOR EXPERIENCED COMPUTER USERS. This is a real shame because the content of the National Geographic Magazine has always been absolutely superb; but what an insult to all those great writers and photographers for NG to package it in such a horrible and virtually unusable interface.
I followed every direction to install it on both an internal, then an external hard drive. Fail. I tried the software updates and even they also Failed to install. Even resorting to running the 'program' from each of the seven disks separately (which means you can't search the entire collection for specific words or information anyway), it was painfully slow to load each page, or to even try to turn each page because it does two or three and then the 'program' invariably seizes up or crashes. And this on a brand new Macbook Pro. Fail! The text is UNSEARCHABLE because NG- unbelievably - scanned all those magazines improperly at such low quality and haven't, it seems, gone back to try to fix this root of so many problems. Fail and CHEAP! And their 'Enhance Text' feature is virtually worthless. I'm young so I can't even imagine what a chore trying to read this would be like for someone with failing vision.
NG should contact whoever did the New Yorker online, because that software works very well, as it should when you pay for something. Such great potential content, but such absolutely horrible software. BUYER BEWARE! I feel totally ripped off. What a shame.
 Great content, horrible software Jul 14, 2010
I picked this up for my dad for father's day. On one hand it is an absurd amount of content for one package, which is pretty awesome. Also, its great fun to see the development of the magazine since 1888 (you wouldn't believe how much pure text there was in the old issues!)
However, the software is horrendous. Its slow, clunky, pointlessly complicated and all around crummy. Its absurdly complicated to install the whole thing on the hard drive (so you don't have to constantly swap DVDs when looking at issues throughout the years). Why, oh why, did they not just give you some pdfs or something??
The Complete National Geographic is a Treasure Jul 05, 2010
I was very pleased to discover that the National Geographic Society had re-issued its complete set of issues since 1988. My father-in-law was Maynard Owen Williams, who served as Chief of the Foreign Editorial Staff of NGS, and whose articles and photographs were published between 1918 - 1953. I was looking for a particular article he had written, published in the December 1927 issue, entitled East of Suez to the Mount of the Decalogue. I found it easily and was able to print out this article in its entirety.
Installation of the Complete National Geographic required installation of a free Adobe product called AIR. This was not difficult to do. The Complete National Geographic installation was a bit more complex, but I had no problems in installing it.
Recently we moved from a large home, in which we had our 50 year collection of NGS magazines, to a smaller independent living residence. We had to give up our NGS magazine collection, donating it to a school. The Complete National Geographic DVD set now will enable us to access any particular article and to browse anywhere. It is a wonderful product and we are pleased to own it.
This DVD set replaces a much earlier set of CDs issued many years ago, which was difficult to use. The National Geographic Society no longer supports that earlier CD set.
FANTASTIC DVD! Jun 16, 2010
I purchased this as a gift for my father and he says it is fantastic!
