Review title: Not worth it Product review: I was very disapointed with this book. I bought Mac OS X The Missing Manual along with this book, but the Missing Manual is by far the superior book (for about the same price).This book uses full color pages, large type, and large screen captures to waste space. It could easily have been condensed into half the number of pages, or better yet, just put online in the form of a web page where something like this belongs.The tips are mostly very trivial and obvious ones - I'm not sure I came across a single one I wasn't already familliar with. I *suppose*, if you don't know any of the little keyboard tricks for navigating your mac quickly, this may be useful to you, but I think I'll be selling mine - I consider it a waste of money.
Ans: decrease

Review title: Never got to try it Product review: We bought this player for Christmas for our play room. We never even got to try it out. It did not work straight out of the box. We could not get the tray to open. We returned it for another, which had the same problem. Finally we just took our money back and are looking for another brand.

Review title: Don't Plan on Keeping This a Long Time Product review: Extremely compact, above average in ease in out-of-the box setup. Playback voice quality is below average. Owned 13 mos. then the unit died (no display, power brick volts OK). Sony's warranty 1 year from invoice date (mine was on backorder 2 weeks). Great price, but now I need another. :(

Review title: Norton causes more problems than it solves Product review: Norton is not necessary if you're using a Mac. While the PC software may be OK, the Mac has not a single virus to be scared of so this software is simply not needed. And user experiences all over the Mac forums at various websites point to system problems that are directly caused by the Norton software. If you're a long-time Mac user, you know you don't need it. If you've switched to Macs from the PC world you probably think you want this. You don't. Don't buy it.
