I’m unhappy with it. People can not open my attachments unless they have a reader and no one has a reader. Also I lost my spell check with Outlook Express since Office Home and Student 2007 is not compatible with OE. It’s all been very frustrating. 2003 works much better at this point and I no longer have it.
Bride to Be Bridal
Once again, gilding the lily, but this book should get 5 stars overall. So that is why I am rating it. I could not put this book down. The honest, no-nonsense style of writing is compelling and addicting. When I finished it, like my youth, I was melancholy that it was over.
Londons Times Funny Food
This product isn’t fancy, but its got what you need, and more importantly it’s easy to setup and use. I didn’t give it five stars because I haven’t used many meters, but out of the ones I have used this is by far the best.
Zoo Med T 5
I have used Microsoft Office for many years and it has never disappointed.
Don’t forget to remove me from your special shipping program.

I love this pedometer! I’m particularly happy with it’s accuracy, since I have tested it in a number of control situations and am quite pleased with the versatility of it (i.e. the ability to carry it in my purse and it still works properly, the clip so I can clip it on my clothes when I don’t have a readily available waistband, and the waistband clip/holder thing). I love that it has a memory feature- I just wish I could look up more information than just how many steps I took (but then again, it may be that I need to go over the instructions again). I like how it feels in my hand, the material is nice, and it’s just a great thing to have in general if you are trying to lose weight or are on an exercise regime where you need to track your steps. I’m glad I bought this model and not a cheaper one. I would definitely recommend this model to friends/family.

I absolutely love this watch. I was a little nervous about buying it after reading some bad reviews but I am soooo glad I bought it. It is true, it takes some time to acquire the satellite signal but I have not experienced a drop in the signal.
The GPS is very accurate. I mapped my route before running and when the watch said I was done… I was done! You can set it to let you know when you reach certain distances. I have mine beep every mile and it helps my runs along. Also, I love breakdown it does, on the computer and the actual watch. Based on your settings it let’s you know what your pace was for each interval, your average heart rate, and your max heart rate. Another plus is that it is very easy to load my runs from my Forerunner 305 to my [...] profile. And based on the information you can plot different parts of your runs against each other.
I must say I just LOVE this watch and you should definitely get one!!!
SE Bikes Lager 2010
Great watch for the price. Takes a little time to figure out how to set the various functions, such as longitude, tidal interval etc, but otherwise quite a breeze to use. Has a nifty little Daylight Savings option, that automatically moves forward/backward when you select the option.
Casio Men s AQW100D
I use this watch/cheststrap for training and racing in 10-13 mile trail races. The GPS, once locked, keeps signal even in the woods on single-track trails. The chest strap works flawlessly for HR measurements. The computer interface is a bit rudimentary, but at least lets you review your runs on a computer. I would like to see better export functionality in the future.

When my oldest daughter turned 13 I got her a shelf stereo that she has enjoyed for years. Great sound, mutli CD player and easy to use. Three years later I wanted to get the same stereo for my youngest daughter when she turned 13, but the system I purchased before was not available. A quick review of compact systems revealed that the landscape had dramatically changed, and I could not find the quality sound I was looking for.
A little background, I’m one of those people that thinks records sound better than CDs and have no problem investing thousands of dollars on a turntable tone arm. Yes, I’m one of those audiophile crazy freaks.
Knowing that Denon used to pair up with Mission to produce a nice component system, I started researching and found the tabletop radios. I have always been turned off by the tabletop radios because of the Bose. Personally, I believe Bose has one of the best marketing departments in the business, but the sound is less than what I would like to see in that price range.
I like the idea of HD radio, iPod Doc, Internet Radio and USB all in one unit. I know that Denon knows quality sound do I decided to give the unit a try. I was pleasantly surprised.
The S-52 is built well and looks nice on a table. It is large, but with all of the features included, I can understand the big footprint. When I turned the unit on, it found my wireless network and automatically updated the firmware.
The first thing I did was tune in an FM radio station. We live in the Rocky Mountains and getting FM reception is always a problem, but this unit picks up more FM stations than any other unit in the house and once it switches to HD I found the sound quality to be very good at high levels. One problem, when you turn the radio down there is a great deal of background noise and this gets in the way of the nice sound. Now I like lound music, but first thing in the morning you want to listen to the radio at low levels and the noise is a real problem. What were th
