Had Office 2000 previously but purchased the Office Home and Student 2007 to make sure I was prepared for online classes. Am not happy with this product. Too many changes,hard to find simple things like changing the font. Office assistant is gone. I have to go online to get help. Hopefully it is just a learning curve but I really miss my Office 2000.

It kept breaking belts. The authorized Hoover repair store said nothing was wrong. I finally got someone at Hoover to tell me to cut off the cord and send it in and they would send me a new vacuum. The new one has worked perfectly. Apparently the shaft holding the belt was bent at the factory.

I love the way that there is a storage place for the nano receiver and that its magnetized for added security. Excellent concept and creativity on the maker. Kensigton slimblade works perfectly.

The Wii is great on its own. The games are fun, and it was easy to set up and start using. However, I feel a bit cheated, in that the unit was sold at the same price whether it came with Wii Sports and Wii Resort, or just Wii Sports. I have to take responsibility for not looking closely enough, that I clicked on the unit with Wii Sports only. But from all the advertising, I expected to also get Wii Resort, so I did not look more closely. So while the game is fun, it is also a bit sad.

I purchased the wired and wireless versions of this cam at the same time. They replaced a single dLink DCS1000W. Both failed during set-up and tested out as faulty. Trendnet advised I return them for exchange after a few minutes discussion of the diagnostics I had performed. Amazon made the process painless and the new units set up and worked fine.

I wanted to display the camera output on my web page but Trendnet doesn’t provide code support to do that, at least they never responded to my request for it. I viewed the camera output on the web interface and just copied the code I needed and imbedded it in my page. Works great.

I have been in data communications for 25 years, 10 years working on IP stuff. Routers, switches that sort of thing. If you are not IP literate I would strongly suggest looking for a trained professional, or a precocious 13 year old to help you through the installation. It’s not that installation is that difficult, but terminology will come to play. DNS, MAC Address, Net Mask, etc.. This is the alphabet soup that can make your eyes glaze, and cause you to go prematurely gray.
As for the product concept I can only say that since it does exactly what I imagined we needed after my wife and I had our home broken into. It has a motion detector. It takes a picture when there is detected movement. Then emails, or FTP’s it (your choice) to you. It must be brilliant. It is left to you the homeowner to decide if the dog got into the living room, or if there is something more nefarious afoot. You can also play voyeuer on hired help and such, or make sure the kids arent having a keger while you have dinner out. (As if they arent smart enough to put a photograph of the empty living room in front of the camera.)
My real feelings for the product come from my experience with Panasonic tech support. I told the rep Richard Morgan I’d complement him. So there I did. Did I need help with the install? Of course not! But I did have a question regards SMTP service that dumbo carrier Verizon could not help with. Not ony was Verizon clueless they were surly about it.
The best thing I can say about the product is that we need three more cameras. Despite the price they will all be the Panasonics.

A little harder to set up and I had to update firmware to work properly.Once I did this and used the long encryption key It has worked flawlessly.
It has a stronger signal strength and further range than other routersI have used.

I was drawn in by all of the fantastic reviews and I admit I didn’t dig a little deeper. I’m warning anyone African-American that this book is painful to read and it has triggers aplenty. Stockett’s use of lines like “Black as ” were just tough to get through. Yes it was in Mississippi and the characters that made the observations were black so she tried to cover her tracks but she should not fool herself: it still comes from a white woman. And it still hurts.

I know it’s about context and it was part of the time but we all seem to forget that it was not that long ago. It also wasn’t exclusive to the South. My Grandmother was one of four maids that worked for the Pew family in Pa well into the 80s. That was no picnic. All good intentions aside, those words are still fresh and generations will still have scars hundred years from now. The pain is that deep.

The language she uses is upsetting and I almost stopped reading it offended me so badly. However, some stubborn part of me has to see things through because I was afraid that maybe I was wrong about the book. Turns out I wasn’t.
I gave this book three stars because the story was so touching, despite these major shortcomings. I was personally invested in the characters, even Hilly, who was so wrapped up in her own power and troubles she needed to control the world around her. Skeeter was sort of a sore spot for me. The way she kept coming to halfway conclusions about what was happening around her, but dropping the line of thought before it made her too uncomfortable. From her mother to Ablieen and Minny, she knew it was wrong but wouldn’t let herself feel it, which was disappointing.

In the end I had many different feelings while reading this book. I wonder at these women, the black community the way it was, so united and helpful to each other. The way it is so different now, everyone thinking of themselves. How more and more allies are standing up to those who still think that peop

We rescued a little (45-50 lb) mixed breed pup that sheds so much. I was always finding her short fur everywhere in the house and on everything we own! A friend who owns two labradors suggested I buy the FURminator. She couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful it works on her dogs. I ordered through Amazon and received my FURminator yesterday. I was dying to try it and since it was pouring rain outside all day, I used it in the front foyer (I strongly recommend using this outdoors).

Needless to say, I’m HOOKED! This is probably the BEST product out there for dogs that shed! My pup has short-ish fur that is a cross between rhodesian ridgeback and boxer and even though I’ve been diligent about brushing her often, this gadget brushed out almost a half grocery bag full of fur! I couldn’t believe there was that much “dead” undercoat on her. I took my time (about 45 minutes) and she loved every minute of it. Because of her short hair, I was extra cautious and used very light strokes across her fur. Still, the bag filled quickly (as did the “fly-away fur” in the foyer)!

Even though she had been bathed recently, her fur now feels so much softer and looks so shiny. I’m not sure how often I’ll need to use the FURminator, but I think this is truly a great product even for short haired dogs!
