Basically, this version of Print Shop can design and print banners, calendars, greeting cards, and signs. It cannot boast the most user-friendly interface of all time, when I first started with computers (way back in 1992), this was all that we had, and we liked it! Go ahead, brag about your 15 cacajillion clip art images, while I have, like, 20. Oh well. The feature set? Great in 1992, nothing special now.

“Okay, so why would I waste my time downloading this program?” I hear you say. There are only two good reasons: disk space and memory. Let’s face it, that 20GB hard drive just gets smaller and smaller every day. Don’t you wish that you could save 1.13GB(!) of space just by downsizing to a smaller version? Would you believe that this version takes up only 4.76MB? And don’t even get me started on memory! Do you have any idea what the memory requirements for Print Shop 15 are? No, I don’t either, but this little guy takes up a lot less, I guarantee it.

Bottom Line: Great in its day, degraded by newer models.
