Title: Release of this software is inexcusable Review: After struggling with this scanner for over a year I finally replaced it with the scanjet 5590 which does everything that the 5550 was supposed to do. Physically the two scanners are identical on the feature set and form factor down to the buttons and hinges. The difference is that the 5590 comes with HP director software version 2.5. The 5550 uses version 2.0. The HP scanning software 2.0 does not load completely on windows 2000 precluding access to adjustments in scanning settings and changes in the default settings. Getting it to work at all took hours and each scan had to be have settings individually set up for an office trying to automate record keeping. What a waste of time and money. HP should give a full refund or replacement for every one of these they foisted on unwitting customers. Is this product review negative?

Title: 12 year olds wouldn't be so stupid... Review: I was really disenchanted from the beginning. Young children would be too intelligent to do some of the things Jack and his father Harry do in this novel.1. Jack goes into a former client's apartment2. with a gun and3. ends up prying open a window with a knife to get out,4. leaving his blood and5. the knife6. (complete with his fingerprints) in the apartment.Come on now. Though this is the least reasonable part of the plot I can immediately remember, these two are constantly doing the most outrageous things one can imagine. Did I mention Jack is a lawyer? No reason to think he'd know better. I finished it because I'm anal that way but I feel like I wasted 4 hours of my life.If you don't mind the book's heroes being total idiots (and apparently a lot of folks don't) then this one is for you but I'll NEVER buy another Grippando novel. Is this product review negative?

Title: Marvellous Chant and Polyphony from 12th Century France Review: I have gotten so enchanted when I heard this magic CD. The voices are so special. They bring us the atmosphere of the religiosity of medieval France. All is vibrant in this CD. When I am listening the music, I can feel myself in an old medieval abbey. I can imagine the mass, the medieval world. This Cd is the most sensitive work that I have heard lately. Is this product review negative?
