Title: REDUNDANT INFORMATION
Review: why is a book on avid xpress dv telling me how to log in to Windows XP, or how to resize windows by clicking on the corners of dialog boxes? there is so much unnecessary information in the book that it makes it difficult to read and follow through, often finding myself skipping several pages. there is so much filler and double-spacing that makes up 80% of the bulk in this book.for example on page 1-15, the author explains moving a bin into a folder. "to move a bin into a folder, click and drag the bin icon to the folder triangle. When you release the mouse, the bin appears in the folder." that is just painful! get to the point! explain the program not the mechanics of the operating system!who doesn't know how to drop down the list of trash contents by clicking on the side-arrow? one can intuitively make these decisions as the interface of xpress dv is not cryptic at all!a terrible read! just use the online Help files instead.
