My Life
Remember. Record. Explore. My Life asks you the most amazing questions about your every feeling thought and memory. You answer through video sound and text.
Designed "to create an everlasting account of your journey through life," this program has the pros and cons of a Hallmark "baby's first year" book. Though it puts some limits on genuine creativity, and can at times be gooey, it makes packaging memories simple. Text, images, hyperlinks, sounds, video, and any type of media you see on the Web can be entered into the My Life template. The skeleton of the program is a map of "cards"--a cover page, time lines, "Who have I been?" and so on. Each card has a subset of cards, and you can populate each card with almost any type of media or simply delete that card. For instance, you can populate the My Sexual History card with nothing more than a photo of your mate or the phone number for The National Enquirer Dateline. Each card has an introduction, which usually includes quotes or vaguely historical facts, and a number of suggested questions that range from simple prompts ("Overall, how do you treat injuries?") to schmaltz. The ick quotient includes the life wisdom of Jackson Browne and Connie Chung, as well as examples like this: "'Well, this green monster came and... uh... well... he ate all the broccoli off my plate.' Kids just say the darnedest things--don't you think? What 'funny' things would you tell your family when you were a child?" Yet the project is not an entirely unhealthy wallow in self-absorption. My Life offers this exercise on the My Friends card: "Maybe there was someone you hurt. Maybe they were odd to most of your friends. Maybe you actually liked them, but felt if would ruin your rep with your other friends? Remember this person here." That should give pause to any sullen teen or adult who has been one. Those who want to work on My Life in privacy can password protect files. The application even has a clue feature so you can prompt yourself if you forget the password. On the other hand, if My Life is a group project prepared for a family reunion, graduation, or retirement party--which seem to be some of the best possible uses--My Life can be kept wide open with everyone contributing at their own rate. --Edith Sorenson

My Life Reviews
Excellent product despite reviews of protest from people that don't know how to load the product. It does work in WINXP, but the is no support available for this product as the production company is out of business and since moved on.sad.
OR If you have Windows 95 or 98 this will run perfectly for you. Please note this is just as good as it looks, but was made for WINDOWS 95/98. if you want to run it on TODAY's PC's you need to go two Microsoft's web site and search for the 45 day trail of their software to allow you to run older programs (you can buy it after the 45 days is up).
I cannot load the software onto my computer. good luck trying to get this on the computer. I continue to get error message that the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and microsoft windows applications. This is terrible.no support available anywhere. it looks great from the example.
