Review title: Don't waste your money on this out of date book Product review: This book is embarrassingly out of date. The phone numbers, businesses and organizations are either no longer in use, no longer in existence, or no longer relevant. There are countless other ways to find up-to-date information. I'm sure it was useful when it was first produced, but selling this basically useless book to people now is irresponsible and dishonest, and buying it is a waste of your time and money.

Review title: I love my Koss headphones Product review: I've always really liked the sound from my Koss headphones. But I like this pair even more than my previous ones. My only complaint about past Koss headphones was an inline volume control. Given that I primarily use these when working out, that was a repeated invitation to shorts due to sweat invading the circuit. However, without that volume control (which was nice, but ultimately superfluous), no more shorts! The sound is great, and I look forward to holding on to this pair longer than my previous ones.

Review title: Still trying to get this laminator to actually laminate. Product review: Since purchasing this laminator, have tried a couple different types of laminating pouches (the ones that came with the machine and another kind from a chain office supply store). After several tries with both types of pouches and documents of different thicknesses, there has only been one moderate success. Using the pouches that came with the machine and a thin image from a printer, the lamination actually took - however, the resulting product may be too flimsy for its intended use.

Review title: boring and offensive Product review: Another movie where the government is the bad guy. The monster, which kills people and hangs them upside down, however, is just misunderstood. Plus, the plot is a badly disjointed patchwork of ideas stolen from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" "E. T." , "Jaws" and Stephen King's "Tommyknockers.". Save your money.
