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 (preinstalled on most modern computers). An online connection is only required to follow external links. Some files require a word processor that can open DOC or RTF files and some files require Microsoft Excel. YoungMinds is basically donnayoung.org but much larger.

YoungMinds serves as a site-cd and the new version of donnayoung.org, as of March 18, 2008, is included on the cd-rom.

Is it compatible with...
I have both Windows 98 and XP and it should work will all versions of Windows from 95 and up, including Vista. It has been tested successfully by a third party on a G4 Power Book Macintosh running the OS X system. 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?
No.

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 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 the Word files on YoungMinds. XLS files requires Microsoft Excel or a compatible spread sheet program. OpenOffice, a free office suite from openoffice.org is compatible with many of the doc and xls files.
