Summary: Useful, but s-l-o-w
Comment: I have used this software for 10 months now, & I've found it very useful, but oh, so frustratingly s-l-o-w. It is easy to use, once it finally comes up (took 20 minutes last night), so that even my 6 yr. old DGGD makes her cards all by herself. We've sent a lot of cards to overseas troops, so even though there are some patriotic cards, I'd sure like Hallmark to have more selection suitable for deployed troops.
I don't normally buy cards because they are so expensive, but it is nice to be able to send personalized cards, so I do use it more than I expected. Although there are a lot of designs, because there are so many categories & unusable ones, that I would really like to be able to download new designs. One thing that has been particularly useful are the labels & tags. I make all the tags for The Shoebox Project & that is helpful. For the past decade or more, I've printed all my Christmas & birthday tags (I could only handwrite "TO: Jeremy From: Grandma & Grandpa" so many times), but with this program I can easily use clip art & color for tags that are a lot more fun. I use different holiday clip art for each gift recipient so I can easily find the correct tag in the drawer where I keep them (e.g., elder DD gets a cute Santa face, while I-for-Idiot SIL gets a sprig of holly because I couldn't find a holiday dunce cap).
I really dislike that I have to fire up a PC laptop to use this program. I find myself balancing the laptop on top of my trusty Mac keyboard so I can use the same cord for the printer. I also dislike that within categories, there is a sameness to the clip art. Many designs are clearly done by the same artist & are too much alike.
I've tried several times to contact Hallmark to see whether I have to buy an entire new program for 2009 instead of an upgrade. Could never reach a human. Note that in late 2007 Sam's Club sold the 2008 deluxe program for a good discount, but I haven't found a lower than retail price yet for 2009.

Summary: Not worth the $
Comment: If you have the 2007 edition, there is NO need to buy this. I'm so disappointed in this Hallmark program. I wish it had better graphics to choose from. Most of them IMO were cheesy cheesy generic-like clipart. It gets the job done, but it's not fun.
