The SendStuffNow Premium 1 year subscription has been a real lifesaver. I shoot and edit video for a living. I have to send 30 and 60-second standard definition video files to remote locations digitally. up to know I’ve been stuck with FTP or email, which got the job done, but had many drawbacks, mainly trying to explain to the secretary on the other end of the phone how to use it.

I’m not a fan of Microsoft (all my PCs with one exception run Linux), but this is great software product and lets admit it. It is very fast, it is instant. It is easy to use and very intuitive. I definitely like its new interface and clean style. Its tools are very intelligent and useful and the entire product is very refined. On my Windows HP laptop with 4G it is instant.

I’ve used the H&R Block software for years. This is the first year I bought the business software. The CD actually loads two programs on your PC. The Premium program is similar to the Deluxe and Basic. But the Business program is different. It has its own icon, it keeps documents in a different folder. It’s a little less friendly than the Premium/Deluxe in that the interview doesn’t seem to hold your hands like the others.

The McAfee Site Advisor utility is designed to keep you informed about potentially harmful websites that appear in search engines so you can avoid them. The software is set-up to report sites that contain spyware, browser exploits and other viruses that could mess with your machine. The sites are indentified by McAfee and the utility comes with a year’s subscription to update the list of potentially harmful sites. The utility is easy to install and takes up little in the way of resources.

I used this program last year. No need to pay an accountant $350 to complete a short 1041 Trust return. It did help that I had the previous year’s return, which was done by the accountant. Be aware that this is actually TWO pieces of totally separate software. They don’t even look the same. You’ll have two new icons on your desktop. The Business piece doesn’t seem as user-friendly as Premium.

What I wanted to do: make multiple copies of a DVD containing old family Super 8 moviesnnWhat happened: the program installed easily, deleting some freebies along the way, all by itself. The instruction book isn’t bad, but I felt like there was a distinct gap between part 1: copying the source DVD, and part 2: burning the new DVDs. I was able to reason it out myself, though, and I ended up saving the video file onto the hard drive and burning that as many times as I wanted.

I’ve been teaching media at the college level for 15 years and I find these Core Training disks a great too for introducing complex software suits from Adobe. The interface is easy to navigate and the information is appropriate for the level the set is targeting. The videos are well produced and show the functions in a way that is easily transferable to actual real-world tasks. Setup couldn’t be eaiser, just pop the DVD into your computer’s drive, then peel the book off the back of the package and you’re ready to go.

Easy to open envelope included the CD and the card with the activation code. The CD actually installs two different programs with two different desktop icons. I wish the business side was a bit more friendly, like the Premium software. This software easily found last year’s returns.
