The idea is to have fun using this CD. There are many boring CD-ROM's out there that are nothing more then dull databases. I wanted this CD to be fun, easy to use, understandable and an enjoyable tool for selecting, growing and caring for house plants. Why a CD on House Plants and not a book?

First of all, because pictures are very important with respect to plants and the CD-ROM enables lots of full screen pictures without the high cost. This CD has lots of full screen pictures, a book with so many pictures of similar size would cost a fortune. We capitalized on this advantage and made a real effort on the photography. All the pictures were specially taken in indoor settings for this CD. We photographed the plants in a real house and in natural places with minimal set design or artistic effects. We want to show how the plants would look in most houses under normal conditions, rather than arrange the house to fit the plants.

Secondly, the computer enables us to interactively and easily search for information. We have also capitalized on this advantage and made it possible to search for anything we thought would be relevant or useful with respect to House Plants. The result is that the CD has extensive and unique searches which allow the user to search by all the standard attributes such as name, type, etc., as well as by some new and unique attributes like location (e.g. northern windowsill, bathroom etc.), usage, shape etc. The user can search for any combination of attributes he wishes and hence there are thousands of search possibilities.

It was not for nothing that the CD was reviewed as "Better than any printed volume could be".

We worked to make this CD so user friendly that even those who have never used the computer before will be able to enjoy this CD and will even enjoy the idea of using a computer, maybe for the first time. That's why this CD...
