CCPlace Review: Quotable Quotes II

Details
Quotable Quotes II's whole point is so you can quickly find quotes for your needs. The information it delivers is usually clear and to the point. The quote will be displayed along with the author's name. Since it was made to give you the information, and basically only the quote information, that is probably why it is compiled in HyperCard. You might have to think back a few years to remember such software. Since it is made of HyperCard stacks, the interface of the program is a bit dull. First off, it is black and white. You could run it on a really old machine that doesn't support color graphics. Also, there is not always interesting textures or backgrounds that boost the appearance of the program. Black and white graphics can only go so far. The main thing on the screen is the text. The text contains the quote and the author's name. Some of the fonts are a bit different so you won't hurt your eyes staring at the same style fonts. Again, you can quickly get the quote, but don't expect too much fun.
