Title: [poorly written] Review: ...we used this for a textbook spring semester.the book is very poorly written, and needs an edit badly. chapter 2 makes 3 attempts to explain the boot-up process. one attempt would be adequate if english were used.the analogy to an auto is cute, but worthless. it explains nothing.andrews uses the words "recall" and "remember" over and over and over.the book attempts to cover too many subjects. for example, leave networking to networking books. explain how a computer works, and that'd be more than enough, if clearly written.also, the book should be restricted to the current windows edition, for example, windows xp. and windows 3x, and 9x should be put into an appendix. it's just too confusing to newbies to attempt to explain the history of operating systems while the real task at hand is explaining how a computer works and computer repair.

Title: Family fun for all generations!!! Review: It's Been many years since I've played Michigan Rummy with the family, and decided to look for it. FINALLY Found it here at Amazon. At these prices, I wanted one for each family so we could play it anytime, anywhere, so I bought 4 of them from AreYouGame. They came fast and well packaged. I'm really happy that I can now take all the pennies from the darn kids, errr... I mean, share this fun game with the next generation. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Great songs, a dark and hypnotic groove Review: I'm not that familiar with Wait's or Hammond's previous work, but this album is outstanding. The songs have a dark, smoky, (even spooky) late-night feeling. Hammond's delivery wisely doesn't try to imitate Waits' distinctive vocal style, and he makes these songs his own. This is the kind of performance you rarely find with cover material - Hammond not only plays these songs, he inhabits them. There are no weak tracks, although I have my favorites: 'Heart Attack and Vine', with those wonderful guitars lurking in the dark; '16 Shells...', where Hammond's vocals somehow conjure up a slow hip-hop groove (to my ear, at least); the gritty gospel-blues of 'I Know I've Been Changed'. This is highly recommended stuff. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Lid does not close properly Review: Don't waste your time. Lid does not close properly no matter how hard you try. -- If you try real hard, one of the latches would fall off. Amazon offered me a refund immediately after I finished my online request to return it. Thanks Amazon! Is the review positive or negative?
