Review title: Good voice recorder Product review: I purchased the Ripflash as a voice recorder and it works. The internal microphone works well and can record soft voices. However, I could not get enough volume from my external microphone. If you use the internal microphone, it will pick up any movement of your hand on the recorder. Voice activation works reasonably well. Documentation is not good but the machine is not that complicated. If you want to erase a file, the manual tells you to choose "Del" from the menu, but does not explain that you must double-click the play button to delete the track.
Ans: increase

Review title: Trained Monkeys with Alzheimers WOULD have done better Product review: As the title states it is my belief that trained monkeys with alzheimers would have done a better job on this book. I had to buy this for a college class and I feel dumber just by reading it. The first project they have you do is interview five people to "Create a Personal Network" What the heck interviewing five people and putting their answers on cards would have to do with the internet I'll never know. I know that that was the first project but jeeze they could have at least had you fire up a fricken browser or something. Maybe even turn the computer on. But wait it gets better. Next we go onto sorting your favorites folder. This is garbage and I feel I have wasted money on it. Had I been able to this would have gotten negative stars on the stupid rating.

Review title: South Lies the Valley Product review: I loved this book. The characters were very real and had depth. I very much appreciated the respect for the aborigines and their religion and customs. I was disappointed in the ending, but did think the author left it open for a sequel and I still hope it will be written.

Review title: Great performance and a big statement about christianity Product review: Other than the teriffic performances, the most noticeable thing about this film is the underlying theme that, no matter how sordid Sonny's life gets, he always comes back to his faith. That is one of the core teachings in all Christian faiths, grace is always available to those who repent. I could see past the flashy car, talking in tongues, pentacostal, bible thumper and see a complex character who I liked.
