Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: Perhaps this book deserves one and a half or even two stars - not for Hancock's silly nonsense about continents charging round but because he does put his finger on some genuinely unexplained mysteries. Compared to Sitchin's "Twelth Planet" - which is a positive insult to the human mind - it is a scholarly work, but still at bottom incoherent, unscientific and full of absurdities. The trouble with even the best fringe science writers is that they are, at best, better at pointing to holes in conventional theories (including evolution) than putting up anything better (or experimentally verifiable) themselves. If you like science-fiction, read some good honest science-fiction by Larry Niven etc., which doesn't pretend to be anything more than fiction. Incidentally, for the benefit of the previous reviewer, the phrase "respected journalist" is a contradiction in terms. Answer:
No

I did - and they sent me a replacement that is so badly constructed that I can see the wires in the joint . Answer:

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: My friend's daughter got this for her 5th birthday and we decided to christen it together with my two 5 year olds. First of all, it was pretty complicated to put together (you know, reading and re-reading the directions until you get it right?). Then when we finally got to the point of cranking, we cranked, and cranked, and cranked, and cranked, and cranked ... We all cranked (all 5 of us) only to end up with nothing but 3 "cranky" kids - what a disappointment. I'm curious as to how the positive reviewers actually got it to work. In the end, we let the kids drink their UNslushees and, to add insult to injury, they didn't even like that very much. It was kind of like cold, sugar syrup. Yuk! Unless you want to spend an inordinate amount of time cranking this thing, with NO guarantee of ever getting an ICEE, pass on this waste of $$ and time. Answer:
No

I tried them on Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows XP. One of them totally locks up every PC I put them in. I got the other one to work for about 5 minutes and then it has never worked since.
