Title: Died after 8 months - lost all my files Product review: My 320GB external OneTouch III maxtor drive failed. I have lost my life's work for trusting the namebrand Maxtor. Seagate bought them out. So far, Seagate can replace my drive but cannot recover my files free of charge. In fact, they charge $1,400 to do so. Therefore, I have had to resort to joining a possible class action lawsuit. Be forewarned - there are no guarantees for any hard drive on the market. If you must get this particular drive I highly recommend backing it up to DVD or another drive as often as possible, unless you intend to use the drive for temprary scratch files such as video editing, which it is capable of doing so with the extremely fast data transfer speeds, given its 16MB cache. I experienced 40 megs per second transfer rates at times. Overall, I do not recommend this particular hard drive due to reliablity issues.

Title: Know What You're Ordering Product review: Unlike other reviewers, I was really disappointed in this book. Because of the cover picture, I was expecting another book similar to Quilt National or Quilt Visions, but it's not like that at all. There are only a couple of quilts in the book similar to the cover quilt. The rest are variations on traditional quilts--very nice but not my cup of tea. The dialogue on each quilt was interesting, but I'd suggest taking a peek at this book in person to be sure you want to order it for your collection.

Title: Better Title: We Were Weirdos from Another Planet Product review: This book was so ridiculous and uninteresting, I couldn't even believe it. All of the characters were greatly underdeveloped, and while Oates attempted to tell this "story" from the perspective of the youngest Mulvaney, she failed terribly. This book is supposed to be the youngest boy's attempt at writing the history of his family. However, within the first twenty pages the one and only conflict for the Mulvaneys begins, yet Oates totally underdevelops everything and makes everything just plain uninteresting. There was truly nothing tragic about this book except for the fact that it was published and hyped up by Oprah to make it worse. Take my advice and do not waste any money on this book -- if you're that curious, go to the library, I'm sure they'll have a ton available.
