What others are saying about the Guidebook / Heritage Collector
 |
Sondra Buckwalter states:
"When the
Guidebook came out I was really excited because it actually teaches step
by step what to do and what not to do in preserving photos, sound bites,
videos etc. It is so simply written with graphic aids, how can anyone go
wrong! It is the best teaching tool I have found to help even the most
computer challenged individual to have success. It’s worth it’s weight
in gold!"

Seth and Jessica Blatter write . . .
"The guidebook
is a very useful resource. We were overwhelmed with knowing what
accessories we needed to have to get ourselves started, but we used the
guidebook through that whole process and are very pleased with the
outcome. We can't say thank you enough. We absolutely love it!"
Reg Farnsworth writes. . .
I’m relatively a
new user . . . and an avid amateur photographer and genealogist. I must say
Heritage Collector exceeds all of my
expectations.
It is without
the slightest hesitation, I'd rate your software and handbook a five
star plus (*****+).
The Guidebook
is rock solid and chocked full of sound advice. Obviously, it speaks
with the voice of experience. Anyone reading the mine field section of
each chapter, would be rewarded in avoiding unexpected pitfalls, been
there and done that too. It’s simply the best program on the market
today. Was at first reluctant to try another program but, am so glad I
did.
In just a
short time after viewing the video’s in the basic program I was up and
running with ease. Highly recommend this marvelous program regardless of
individual skills.
I’m positive
other’s will not be disappointed either.
Happy and enthusiastic, thank you for the wonderful Software and
Handbook.”
