This is just what you would expect from a monopolistic company. It works OK most of the time but really has no value added features from the old Microsoft Office version. The biggest issue I have with it is that it is not compatible with older versions. If you send someone an attachment, they will not be able to open it unless they have the new office version. The only reason I can see for this is the desire by microsoft to guarantee their income–and further enrichen Bill Gates.

Came w/ a 7D kit. I was reluctant since it was my first EF-S and lens w/o USM, but I was pleasantly surprised at the responsiveness and image quality of this lens. The IS is great and so far no problems. Great lens to just stick on the camera and keep there for probably 80% of your shots in the city and even out in the country. Good general purpose lens and would make a good starter lens for new DSLR buyers. On the downside, no USM vs the EF 28-135, but the 18-135 makes it worth it if you want just a tad more wide shot.

I quite enjoyed this one. Normally I am not a big fan of constant point-of-view switches, but these are done smoothly and sensibly; not disjointing at all. The characters are great fun to follow along, and the story had me wanting to jump right back in to see what happened next.

Healing a Spouse s

This is a very unique yet enjoyable book. The author writes to the reader as a personal friend, invited to accompany her on a 10-day vacation rambling through the Galloway region of Scotland (the setting for some of her novels). The author draws upon her extensive knowledge and research of the region, as well as her personal travels, to take the reader along on a detailed journey, including packing bags, airline flights, car rentals, road conditions, language idioms, money, etc. on an imaginary trip through the sights and attractions of the area. The reader gets to vicariously meet people and see sights along the way, including experiencing jet lag, attending a local church, eating in wayside nooks, shopping, etc. and encounter Scotland “off the beaten path” as only a well-traveled companion could reveal the area. The book is enhanced with numerous evocative illustrations of the sights/scenes encountered, as well as a map of the area so you can follow along.

I greatly enjoyed this book – for some pleasant hours, I felt like I WAS in Scotland. The “journey” was all too short, and I hope that this book might start a new genre, not only from this author but from others…

Great product. Great price on Amazon. You need a maters degree in GPS Watch Management to figure out all the options, but even for a tech simpleton like me, it took just a little while to figure out the basics.

Highly recommend.

If you use really hot (I use boiling water) this machine does a great job of cleaning carpets. I do not think it was built for more than the occasional (2-3 times a year) cleaning. This is my second unit and the same problem that I had with the first one has arisen with this unit also. The brushes stop rotating. I am sure it probably happened because when I use the hand wand I did not disengage the brushes. Something I should have probably done. A little better design like brushes automatically disengage when wand is used would prevent this from happening, especially when this was a problem with the previous version. If you need something for the in-between the major steam cleaning by the pro’s, this should fill that need.

Like several others, I purchased this vacuum after reading all the positive reviews. For the most part, I agree with them. This is a fantastic vacuum cleaner that’s a superior value. Unfortunately, the unit I purchased broke down after 20 months. I’m tempted to buy another one since it worked so well for those 20 months and the price is still a relative steal. That said, I will be mindful of the durability. While there’s only so much you can expect for less than $70, I was hoping that my product would last at least three years.

Bottom line: brilliant when it worked and a tremendous value, but I worry about the durability.
