Review title: Not bad, not great Product review: A little precious and twee, but still worth reading. I had just read Emma Bull's Finder (set in the same universe), which is a good novel and has a lot of emotional depth. These short stories were just to short and obvious in comparison. I was also annoyed by the tour guide format, especially the "rah-rah" aspects which came out quite smug. Oh well.

Review title: Poorly made with Poor quality material Product review: This item had a horrible smell as you opened the package.The material was infused with a stink that wouldn't go away.I washed it. It fell apart despite the fact that it was "washable".The zipper never worked. I threw it away.

Review title: Not for average computer user. Product review: 10Dec2002 ..... After reading all the reviews, I decided to purchase this program. One thing that became painfully obvious upon use was, this is not for the average user. Instructions are vague, documentation is lacking detail, and customer support via eMail is not any better, (that is, if you even get a reply). My experience with Power Quest and also owning Partition Magic 8.0 , is that this company does not stand behind it's products. Simple support question that should have been covered in manual or web site help files? Get real ... Because I don*t work for Power Quest, I have no financial gain in glossing over the many errors this program contains. I'm just an end user that want's a program that works out of the box, and I*m not willing to devote the hours necessary to make deep system changes in order to compensate a programs short comings. One thing I can say positive, is that it comes in a nice box. (system: AMD 1800+, WinXP, mass RAM & HD) Bob
