Another year of taxes accomplished, almost with my eyes closed, thanks to TurboTax! Ours are so simple / basic, I think I could get them done for free locally, but I have yet to look into that. Until then, I will stick with what I know. Also that old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it, or something to that effect… I’ll be back next year.

It only took about five minutes to install, and it works like a charm, just like the last 5+ years I have been using TurboTax. THANK GOODNESS!! I held my breath the whole time, scared to death it was going to flop. I am still wondering why so many other folks are having problems. So sorry for them ~ I wish I was more computer-literate and able to discuss that side of it.

there are a TON of options, almost too many. i’ve had this for a couple of weeks and am still running into things i didn’t know it would do! being able to CATEGORIZE your emails is nice; if you flag them they pop up when you start Outlook as reminders. there is so much to say about it i could go on an on .. suffice it to say this is a really nice upgrade from the old outlook .

Maybe if I took more time with it, it wouldn’t be too bad … it looks like it has great potential, but my goodness there are LOTS of buttons and boxes and options … I just don’t even know where to begin to say anything about this .. I have no experience with it. Sorry I can’t be more help.

As much as a person can enjoy tax software, I really enjoy Turbo Tax. Every year, it’s easy and straightforward. Our taxes are that way too though - easy and straightforward. I probably don’t need this version, could probably go one step down, but better to be safe than sorry, better to have than have not … so and so forth. Thanks TT … you have a continued / continuing customer.

I don’t make big deal videos. Just have a Kodak ZX3 which is amazing to me, a webcam, a ipod touch (4th gen) camera to capture video. I put little video’s together easily, made a couple of DVDs, made a couple of short videos for web sites, etc. In all my use VideoStudio exceeded my expectaion. It was intuitive, compatible with my sources, and helped me make a good result. My demands aren’t great and this was more than powerful enough without being so complex it left me overwhelmed with options.

As a avid user of the older paperport 8 product I was hoping that I would love the improvements in paperport 12. Alas, not so much. I didn’t have the disabling issues described by so many other reviewers causing big problems immediately. I found it was much slower than the older version and didn’t offer any features that were compelling for the upgrade price. It just seems more difficult to use and less dependable.

When I saw Quicken WillMaker 2013 I didn’t know everything that was involved with estate planning. That’s where the plus comes in. With WillMaker I was able to create many documents that will help before I move on from this life. These include my living will, heath-care directive, and limited power of attorney. I have to admit that it took a while for me to get around to creating a will and doing estate planning.

I got Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 in 2008 when I was still running Windows XP. I just retired my last Windows XP system and while burning some of the data to DVD I was remind of this venerable version of Creator. It served me pretty well but with quirks for almost 10 years; I have been using various versions of Roxio NXT on newer systems and I don’t think they are an overall improvement in reliability or intuitive user interface.

This was purchased to upgrade a client’s PC from vista. This client had been having all sorts of trouble but was hesitant to change. The upgrade went quite smoothy. Pre upgrade prep was mainly getting new drivers for peripherials. The issues are now resolved. The client is happy and their system is running better than before. More stable, faster and just better.
