Its marketing plan has changed several times, and one analyst who is a SoftKey fan calls its products "coasterware," because if you don't like the actual software you can use the CD-ROMs as drink coasters since they're so cheap.
The opposite of terrorware, coasterware is software so benign that it never gets installed, so the CD that it is installed on finds gainful employment as a drinks coaster.
From start to finish, it is a poorly conceived, ill-executed, and time-wasting piece of coasterware designed to suck money away from both fans of the much-lauded series and unsuspecting newcomers.
Sadly, the ND-3500A is burdened by Ulead's MovieFactory 3, which, once again, gave us headaches in the form of inexplicable crashes; what's worse, this coaster-ware cost us money when burns failed and discs were ruined.
