This lets me and my wife track all of our bills, spending, and budget for the future. More people should use this to track their finances and be more aware of where their money is going. Just an FYI the 2013 version is coming with smart phone compatibility and I’ve been wanting that for a long time so be sure to check that out.

I’ve been using Quicken for a while and I think more people should use it for their budgeting needs and to track their spending. I have all of our finances loaded into it and it lets me see where we can save and helps me plan for those big purchases or trips. Quicken will help you get a handle on your finances in a time when that is more and more important.

This is the best tax preparation software for the novice or the pro. You can use the step by step process to guide you, or if you want to alter the forms yourself you can do that also. I have used this software for years and it only gets better.

I used Norton 360 for years and this is apparently the evolution of that software. I now have it on all of my Windows computers and my Android cellphone. I can’t pay my bills easily without the password vault that keeps all of my passwords memorized and protected. I have never found 1 password that makes all systems happy. They have different requirements that some have to be 14 characters long but others are only 7, some need symbols, and others can’t have symbols.

I actually bought this by accident intending to buy Norton 360. Make sure you pay attention because the boxes all look very similar and the descriptions can get similar also. I’ve used Norton AV years ago but now I run Norton 360 that includes the AV and so much more. If you do a lot of internet buying and banking you should really look into the upgraded version of Norton so it can save all of your passwords, credit card information, and provide PC tune up and increased security measures.

I wasn’t a fan of the ribbon when MS first introduced that. I think they’ve fixed some of the things that still bothered me with this version. If I could just get them to upgrade to this at work I’d be set!!

In a world where internet security is increasingly important, this is a great tool that will protect an unlimited number of devices. Installation is a breeze, the interface is simple to use and the functions are of great utility. Although the price seems a bit high at first blush, the fact that you can use the product across all devices and platforms makes it a good value..

I’ve tried various versions of Dragon Dictate over the past few years in hopes of being able to use it professionally as an attorney and writer. This version is about as close as I’ve come to being useful within that setting, but I’m still having trouble getting used to the process. For me, it’s about 99.5% accurate, so I’ve been pretty pleased. It’s not perfect yet, but getting there.

I’ve tried 2 other top selling courses that are substantially more expensive and Instant Immersion is actually superior at a fraction of the price. First of all, the breadth of the program is wider, with the computer program, tablet App, DVD and audio files. As such, I can make progress at home or on the go. In addition, the program has a scoring game that allows you to track progress and gives you identifiable benchmarks in terms of assessing your progress.

I’m not the most technologically savvy person, but I found that this software was easy to use, with intuitive controls and excellent applications. I had no problem at all in crunching my favorite movies and getting them on my iPod. The process was faster than I expected.
