Review:
Very good but needs some improvement
April 13, 2000
Reviewer: John Fischer from USA
For $10 the program is an excellent buy. It does everything it should, but you need to change your screen res to low as possible. Especially if you have a 17 inch monitor. The type is very small. It would nice to be able to minimize it as well in case you do a lot of multi-tasking. Scott has their own software now but it is $70. I would consider this the better buy. In fact, the best buy of any Stamp inventory currently on the market. END

Morlin STAAP is serious about Belgian stamps and likes to drive a comfortable car of a certain Swedish make.
STAAP 99 software for producing album pages has everything to do with stamps and nothing to do with the fine car of the 70's, SAAB 99, produced 1967-85. But in its field, STAAP 99 likes to aspire to the same fine qualities as the SAAB 99 in its time: to be usable, durable, practical, unassuming, versatile, ingenious, ....
