Guide Review - Birthday Bios
Most Birthday Bios options are simple enough to figure out without turning to the Help files. It has no sophisticated text composition features or graphics options, but it is still easy to change fonts and move text and graphic elements around on the page to create interesting layouts.
The history trivia includes: World headlines for the selected year, top movies, hit songs, celebrities that share that birthday (not necessarily same year), and calculations that show how many days and hours the birthday person has been alive.
I found the lack of a delete option for elements a bit annoying - you have to drag items to the edge to remove them. Otherwise, it's a cute and useful program for individuals or small businesses.
