Description:

Daria has taken her sick and sad life and has now put it together on a CD to help you organize your life. Now, you can keep your special events or things you would rather miss in your daily planner. The address book will keep track of all of your friends and even the people you don't like. Add comments to remind you what you like or dislike about somebody.

Journals are becoming more and more popular. You have no idea what to write in your journal? Daria has some questions she will ask you to get you started. She even suggests making up something if nothing happened worth writing about. But I am sure you can come up with something!

Add a little history to your day by reading the 365 sick and sad history facts. Along with each interesting fact, you will find comments made in Daria's sense of humor. And if you know Daria, you know her sense of humor!

Features:

  • Address Book
  • Journal
  • Calendar and Daily Planner
  • Padded Walls - screensavers and icons
  • 365 sick sad days in history facts
  • Audio and video clips from the show
  • Password Protected - Keep inquiring minds out of your life.

Technical Aspects:

My system met the minimum requirements and more but it still seemed to take a long time to load up. I also preferred to change the screen resolution to 1024 X 786 so that I could see the whole window at once without scrolling. It loads the whole program except the video clips which means you will need to keep the CD handy if you want to view them.

Report and Conclusions:

I have to admit that I had no idea who Daria was before receiving the CD to review. I asked around and of course every young girl in my neighborhood knew who she was and was quit willing to fill me in on her and her life. I still have a lot to learn and I will have to check out the show on MTV to see what I am missing.

I have no girls the age to use this program but there are a lot of young girls begging to have a look at the program. Daria fans will get a lot out of the program (at least they can get organized) as well as a few laughs. What do you have to lose?
