SyncBackSE Review
After losing two hard drives in six months, I got serious about keeping frequent backup copies of my data. I tried a number of backup programs, and checked what other had to say about them, before settling on SyncBackSE, from 2BrightSparks (www.2brightsparks.com). It is 1) easy to set up, 2) runs...

Microsoft Publisher 2007 Review
What did you like?
This is a remakably easy to use (if you are a regular Microsoft user) desktop publishing package that seems to do all the tricks that one might need at home or in a small business. It comes on its own or as part of Microsoft Office and all the familiar controls and shortcut...

Sid Meier's Civilization IV Review
What did you like?
This is a great, fun game. If you don't know of it by now, you must have spent the past fifteen years buried under a rock, I'd guess. You get to design and create your own world. In the recent version, you've got a lot more control than you had previously and more options of...

The Sims Review
What did you like?
My 12-year old is addicted to this game. I used to play Sim City and the like, but this one you just get to be people in some type of 'real' virtual life. There are so many different options and you get to design your own people to be like (or unlike) the people in your...

Crazy Machines Review
What did you like?
This is subtitled "The Wacky Contraptions Game" and that pretty much describes it. Far more fun than I expected, you get to build and design Rube Goldberg type machines--you know, where a chain reaction of events using silly simple devices causes something to happen, like the...

QuickBooks (2007) Review
What did you like?
I am only a recent convert to financial software, having finally accepted one of those free trial offers about a year and a half ago. I am not sure how I survived without it -- well, maybe not quite that drastic, but I do appreciate the ease of use and the ready access to all...

TurboTax Federal and State Home 2006 Review
What did you like?
I have been using Turbo Tax for about seven or eight years and I am very happy with it. Even as my tax situation has gotten more complex, it is still able to handle it all. It seems to be smart as well and I am confident that everything it suggests or does is legitimate. What...

Rosetta Stone Language Learning Software Review
What did you like?
This is the best language program I've ever used. It works by using pictures and sound. If you can't do an immersion process, then this will get you up to speed quickly. You can more cheaply add on different languages as well, so everyone in the family can learn something...

TurboTax Federal + State Deluxe Deduction Maximizer 2006 Review
"Good choice for tax preparation" seems to be the consensus for this "solid program" that is "perfect for non-accountants". Although some warned that "if you are not computer literate and encounter difficulty using the computer in your normal day to day activity, you might want to consider...

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Review
"Once you get used to it, you'll love Microsoft Office 07" seems to be the general consensus of this "truely fantastic software". Many liked the "refreshed look and some improvements in functionality" while others thought that the Excel upgrades in the 2007 version "dramatically expands row and...
