I like turbo tax because it is easy, ecconimical and accurate. I like it because you can import data from last year’s returns and from your other financial programs such as quicken. The questions make it easy for the begginner or the pro to get the right decuctions. It is like walking you through the whole return. What I do not like is that if you do not have the internet, you still have to call for an update disc.

As a reviewer with out the internet and self preparer, they still do not allow you do yor state return with out first accessing the internet. I had the samr problem last year and I am frustrated. I think next year, I will go back to doing it by hand and save money. Now they wanted to charge a fee to print returns. Lets get real, they should make Turbo Tax for the mass not only those lucky few who are able to afford the internet.

Bought this card to augment the number of Firewire ports in my new MacPro (only design flaw I find in that computer…not enough Firewire inputs for professional use). It replaced the first Sonnet card I bought as that one (a combo USB/Firewire card) didn’t play well with my computer for what I needed (word to wise - before buying a PCI card make sure that your peripherals will work with it.

Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: The Rosetta Stone method is much, much better than the Pimsleur method. I’ve done Pimsleur in Spanish and Italian and a little bit of German, but this is the first time I’ve tried Rosetta Stone. It beats the Pimsleur aural method hands down. Pimsleur comes at you on a one-way street. They repeat phrases over and over again and you try to repeat them back.

I’m one of those folks who has used QuickBooks on PC for a dozen years or so. Yes, as you can read in other reviews here, this new Mac version can’t touch the PC version on a feature-for-feature basis. The PC version is so much more mature, has so many more options and value-added services (not to mention complete payroll management, if you need that), whereas the Mac version is just coming out of the starting gate.

I held off installing Office 2008/Mac till my new MacBook Pro arrived, because I was afraid I’d bog down my old iMac with the installation. Well, I installed Office 2008 on my new Mac today and so far everything has gone smoothly. Installation was quick and easy, though I think after installation the software required about 4 major updates which made it all take a while longer. I’m using Office 2007 on Windows XP, as well, and I’ve also used it on a Vista machine.
