Birding Software

Ospreyers,

I finally sprung for a computer, a Gateway 350 mhz Pentium II with all 
of the bells and whistles...

I am contemplating purchasing some of the birding software for both 
record keeping and perhaps some of the skill sharpening products like 
Thayer's.  I've browsed through some back issues of "Birding" and have 
looked at the ads for some of the products. I seem to recall an issue 
of "Birding" or "Winging it" a while ago that reviewed some of the 
material on the market (I didn't read too intently since I wasn't in 
the market for software when this came out.)  

Does anyone recall which issues might have such a review?  Does anyone 
have a favorite product (or something to definitely steer away from), 
is there anything in particular I should consider when purchasing 
these items.  

Thanks!
