I was able to make this work but it takes time. This product was an early entry into the area of doing vhs to dvd conversion at home. It comes with the adaptors you need but the software is buggy and it took me a while to get it working. There are newer and now better products out there if converting vhs to dvd is something worth while trying on your own.

I’ve tried a couple of the Rosetta Stone products and the Italian level 1,2,3 doesn’t disappoint. The product installed fine on Mac OS 10.5 or you can install on Windows XP/Vista. Although the product wasn’t developed for MAC platform it does perform well but doesn’t offer any of the MAC like interface setup. As far as the language learning, the product performs well. It starts off easy with matching of words to pictures and quickly builds to speaking and matching more complex language sentences.

If your running Win98 or Win ME I would recommend the upgrade to XP. If you just use your PC for everyday email, word processing etc. then you can save money and go with XP Home Edition. However, if you are use to NT or Windows 2000 I would recommend XP Professional for the added administrative features.nI’ve been using XP since RC1 and it has been rock solid. For a home pc it is the operating system of choice.

I tried Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 to see if it was worth upgrading my home XP machine to Vista. I just can’t find any compelling reason to upgrade to Vista. I have I gig of memory in my home machine and with XP it runs fine. With Vista I have to turn off the Aero graphics due to limited memory on my machine. Once the Aero graphics are turned off the system runs close to the speed of XP but you loose the major feature upgrade of Vista which is the improved graphics.

Like many this year, I was a long time TurboTax user until all the issues with pricing and versions coming up that gave me an opportunity to look into other software packages. I went with H&R Block this year and I’m very pleased. Everything transferred over from TurboTax and I was able to complete all items for 2014 taxes. I have not filed yet so will update how efile worked when completed.

I have used Trend Micro on a number of Windows PC’s for years. I have always been happy with their products and the small footprint of the installation. I am not one to turn on all the features of these full fledge security products, such as parental controls. What I do use them for is anti-virus and malicious downloads from web sites. At those levels of protection, Trend Micro does a very good job.

I just upgraded my G4 667 dvi Powerbook to 10.2 from 10.1.4…OS X is a very good OS.nThe powerbook is my first Apple and 10.2 make it the main computer I now use. I still have a desktop with XP Pro but I just don’t use it as much anymore now that I have the powerbook and 10.2.nCompared to 10.1.4, 10.2 has a lot of nice new features for the general user as well as the experienced user.

I have the non Pro version and picked up the Pro version. Overall the core areas of the product are good. The virus protection and parental control are very good for most users. The Pro version tries to add some extra features for more money but I’m not convinced they are worth the extra cost. They are not bad to have but not worth the extra cost and most people probably won’t use them or know how to use them.

The review that has 5 starsnI really wonder that is realnIt doesn’t stay connected the whole timenI would not recommend the product
