A Frustrating Fur Trade Odyssey

I just thought I'd check out another OSAPAC piece of software as it pertains to grade 7 and 8 history. It's called A Fur Trade Odyssey. I found it to be a piece of junk! Really! It was hard to navigate, and not very entertaining at all. I swear I am one of those people who should have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child because I have such a short attention span. This was such a snooze.

I then did a little Internet search on the software and I read this:
"Northwest to the Pacific: A Fur Trade Odyssey" is one of the most exciting historical CD-ROMs ever produced.

"Congratulations...this is an exceptional way to teach our future generations about the fur trade and the importance of the canoe to our Canadian Heritage."

Can't believe it. Now some of you may like this program and this is entirely my own personal opinion. Let me know if you have a differing view. I just read this and thought - well, I guess someone has to sell this stuff and do whatever they can to do that.
