Doesn’t matter how far away your family is (some 2 hrs. away) this is a great buy for home and college students. Or a great gift for the grown up kids just getting started on their own.

works great will see you next year.

Habla YES!

I am a longtime Quicken user, and I tend to skip upgrading every year because to me the features added each year are seldom significant and the software to me is a bit over-priced. My current product is 2011, and after backing up the account, I easily installed this on a new computer, importing my old Quicken account file and all of my transactions. The entire process took less than 20 minutes.

Adobe works hard to sell you on it’s play for pay service, however, I remember the good old days where you could actually own the license, and that truly is my preference. With purchase of this software, you get a packet which contains a code which you must register with them after creating an account. You then must download an installer, which will put PS and Light Room on your computer, with options to use a mobile version for other devices.

Turbotax basic allows the beginning user, or the person with uncomplicated taxes to file a quick and easy return. It comes on CD, you just need to install it, run the program, and start filling out your income and personal information. If youve used the software before, it has an import feature to bring data in from your previous years return, so you have to work even less. I usually file my return in less than half an hour.

It is a painful reality that you just need to have a will, especially if you care about having your animals and family provided for. This software makes it easy with easy to follow and input instructions suitable for anyone to fill out. It comes on a single cd, which is click and install. You don’t need to mess with serial numbers and product keys. Filling out the will questions is fairly straightforward.

Poser 9 is the latest release of the famous 3d modeling software which allows you to render 3d models with realistic skin, details, hair and body for use in art as well as for use as artistic reference. This software comes in a small DVD case with a quick reference card, serial number and two cd’s mac/pc. There is no manual included; however a PDF version of the manual is available on the DVD for you to download.

I enjoy and love animation, so I was excited for the opportunity to test out Anime Debut 8. All I can say is that I found the software disappointing and needlessly complex. I held off writing the review to test it out and go through the tutorial, but wow… I mean they expect youngsters who love Anime to do all this just to animate a character?nnFirst, the install. It went on my pc great.

I found this product quite easy to use. I am a 3d artist, and typically use Adobe Design Premium for my post work (altering details of my renders with brushes and the like), so I tend to be familiar with paint programs at least basic features. One thing that struck me was that I really liked the filters. There is a very nice depth of field filter, and I like the sepia photo filter.
