Next Version - Site CD: YoungMinds 2012

The site cd "YoungMinds" is being redone. I hope to have the cd available by the end of March or sooner.

Current version: YoungMinds 2011.7 as of Sept. 2011.

The YoungMinds Cd-Rom contains the YoungMinds Web Site that I maintain on my home computer. It has most of the resources that are at donnayoung.org and quite a bit more. All that you need to use YoungMinds on CD-Rom is a computer and a web browser (pre installed on most modern computers). An online connection is only required to follow external links. Some files on the cd require a word processor that can open DOC or RTF files and the xls files require a spread sheet program such as Microsoft Excel. The free OpenOffice is compatible with most of my doc and xls files.

I have purchased your two previous YoungMinds cd versions. You have been the best source of helping me to organize my homeschool planners and portfolios. I have so many other resources but yours works the best for me. I can easily adapt, pick & choose what works for us. I am interested in the YM's CD 2009. What is it for returning customers? Thank you,again for your website and resources. You have taught me much. :)

FAQs:

What this product is:
The YoungMinds CD-ROM is a large web site on a cd-rom.

What this product is not:
YoungMinds is not a link-farm of internet resources but it does contain some internet links. It is not a computer program. It is not a complete curriculum, however you may not need to buy some things such as handwriting worksheets. It is not software that is installed, nor will it load automatically. see instructions This product is not professionally produced or outsourced. I, Donna Young, do all of the work on the CD-Rom and DonnaYoung.org.

Is it compatible with...
I have at home, Windows 98, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and the CD should work with all versions of Windows from 95 and up, including Windows 7.
It has been tested successfully by a third party on a G4 Power Book Macintosh running the OS X system; however, it does not work always work on a Mac. I've heard from one customer whose Mac would not run the CD.
If after you receive your CD-ROM and you find that it will not operate on your computer, please contact Donna.

I don't live in the United States, can I buy your CD-ROM?
I apologize for not selling outside the USA, but no, I do not sell the cd outside of the USA.

Some files will require that you have a certain program:
I can not guarantee that all of the files on the CD-Rom will open for you. Some files require Microsoft Word or a compatible word processor and some files require that JavaScript is enabled.  However, if you can open the Word files from this site, then you should be able to open most or all of the doc or rtf files on YoungMinds. XLS files requires Microsoft Excel or a compatible spread sheet program. OpenOffice [openoffice.org], a free office suite from openoffice.org is compatible with many of the doc and xls files.
