Review title: Money Better Spent Product review: Try as hard as I can, I cannot find a purpose in this book other than for the authors to make some money. It barely touches on the options in VS2005 without any concrete direction or in-depth description of why to use the features. I have found that the VB2005 book I purchased at the same time as this ("Visual Basic 2005 : The Language") provided much better coverage than this bookI would NOT reccommend this book to anyone. You would find a much more effective use of your money by buying the above book or a book on the targer language in VS2005 you are using

Review title: Meeting Minutes and College Master Program Product review: I got two of these (there were accidentally 2 in my cart, so I decided to give one as a gift to my niece for her Master's Program). I wasn't planning to use it at the first meeting after I received it, but someone at the meeting said she wished the proceedings were being recorded for someone not in attendance. Without having made time to read the instructions, I pressed record. I worked just fine. It didn't put the recording in folder A, but in folder B. There was an glitch in reviewing the PC downloaded version of file and I had to backtrack by reloading the software. But after that, I could stop, pause, rewind as much as I wanted to get the minutes done. Great product for the money. Nice clarity. Only one person in the meeting who spoke softly was difficult to hear in the recording.

Review title: Enjoyable Product review: I enjoyed watching this collection. I absolutely loved North and South and thought that Wives and Daughters was quite entertaining. The acting in all three of the movies was great as well. My only wish is that the Cranford episodes could have been less depressing. The only Cranford episode that seemed to have anything positive/good happen was the last one. I have to say that the Lark Rise to Candleford series is still my favorite, because it's stories contain romance, humor, and ups as well as downs and in the end you feel more uplifted than anything else.

Review title: not what i thought Product review: My father, my friend mandy and i watched this movie last night. we were all very disappointed. we thought the movie wasn't realistic. we watched the news and saw all the firefighters and police officers running into the buildings trying to help the people. in this "movie" we saw them leisurely walking around, even stopping to have nice conversations with each other about what they thought was happening. we were really disappointed with the search scene. it made the men and women of our country look like quitters because it was getting dark. we were under the impression that they search through the night. at least that's what we saw on the news. guess we were wrong. all together i would have to say i'm glad i borrowed this movie from a friend instead of wasting my money buying or renting it.
