Review title: Epson Lost a Customer For Life Product review: This is the worst electronic purchase I have made in a long time. It had a $100 rebate when I bought my Apple PowerBook a couple of years ago, so we went ahead and got it for only $50 - which in retrospect was too much. We hardly ever used the Epson printer, and after about 14 months it started to show signs of low ink for a couple of the colors. So I went out and spent $70 for all new ink cartidges, and installed them. It has never printed anything since - just blank pages.If you read the other reviews and do other research, you'll see that it's a defect that results in a clogged tube somewhere inside the printer, and it is not trivial to unclog. As far as I'm concerned, this thing is now a boat anchor. Or a door stop, take your pick.I'm replacing it with a Canon or HP. I have a 10 year old HP 820cse that is still plugging away with no problems. How can Epson stay in business while selling such unreliable products?If zero stars was available I would choose that.

Review title: An ambitious work Product review: This is a very ambitious work - the number of Indo-Pacific fish species illustrated is simply staggering, often showing regional variations and juvenile forms. On the other side, image quality and reproduction are often disappointing, and the minimal texts limit its scope somewhat. It will make an unbeatable identification and learning combo when paired with the equally interesting but infinitely better illustratedA Diver's Guide to Reef LifeandA Diver's Guide to Underwater Malaysia Macrolifeby Andrea and Antonella Ferrari - both featuring excellent written texts, exquisite color photographs and - in the case of the latter - hundreds of entries for cephalopods, crustaceans, nudibranchs and various other invertebrates. With these three field guides in your library almost no Indo-Pacific fish or critter will be able to escape identification!

Review title: Acts of Faith: Daily Meditations for People of Color Product review: I am of Puerto Rican decent- so maybe that does or doesn't qualify me as a person of color - regardless, this is a MUST read for everyone. I found it to be inspirational when I was having a bad day or felt bad. It's a great way to start off the day by opening it and reading any one of the encouraging pages in each section!

Review title: Awful Product review: This movie was one giant yawn! It was so boring it's not even worth a proper review. I did like the costumes and sets. That's the only positive I can give.
