|
|
The
first review of the 1998 release of
ALL ABOUT PUMPS has been published:
|
| Berkeley PC User Group,
September, 1998: |
| "Hoffman obviously loves
his subject" ... "pure and good education" ... "ran easily from the CD
in Win95..." |
|
|
Read
what reviewers had to say about the previous major release (version 2.08,
released 1995) of this program:
|
| DOS World, May, 1996: |
| "For anyone fascinated with
how gadgets and things mechanical work...As a multimedia tool, All About
Pumps goes all-out with colorful animation techniques, combining Disney-like
frame-to-frame hand drawing with advanced assembly-language playback...You
won't need documentation; you can easily find your way around." |
|
| Pumps & Systems Magazine,
March, 1996: |
| "An excellent introductory
experience for people new to the pump business--who would benefit from
a basic knowledge of how pumps work...Even though I have been associated
with the pump industry since 1955, I found the glossary of pumps in this
computer program quite useful." |
|
| Lonnie Brown, The Ledger
(Lakeland, FL) January 28th, 1996: |
| "Students writing papers
or beginning engineers who need to know these things will find the 100
or so full-color, detailed animations helpful in gaining an understanding
of how pumps work. Russell D. Hoffman, who wrote the program, used the
high-resolution mode on the computer, which allows for smooth, detailed
animation." |
|
| Nuts & Volts, June,
1995: |
| "I haven't counted the total
number of screens, but there seem to be about 200! They are all colorful,
easy to read, and those with animation operate quickly and smoothly...
I wish more programs were this easy to use! When was the last time you
used a program where only two help screens tell you ALL you need to know
to use the program effectively, where only two keys are used for navigation,
where no typed commands are required-and where you can learn so much about
a useful topic with so little effort?" |
|
| HOMEPC, July, 1995: |
| "All About Pumps offers
charming animation and meticulous detail about more than 50 types of [pumps]
in residential, agricultural, scientific and medical uses...If you have
a hankering for hydraulics, get pumped-this one's for you." |
|
| InTech, March, 1995: |
| "Hoffman's easy-to-use program
keeps the "reader's" interest with high-resolution images of working pumps
and text suited to the size of a computer screen." |
|
| Canadian Water Well,
June, 1995: |
-
"Once the program is running,
your eyes are in for a feast. All About Pumps allows users to control the
operating speeds of the animations. This is especially convenient for observing
how valves and other internal components work together to control the flow
of water.... It combines exceptional animation with education to produce
a worthwhile addition to existing pump-related sources."
