  • Deals - Amazing product for everyone

    This is a fantastic platform for getting into electric guitar. I love it, my kids love it, and everyone who tries it loves it. My impression was that it would be excellent for non-guitar players initially... but my nephew is an awesome musician. I bought him one and he rocks on it! Amazing. Hightly recommended.

  • antonio mendoza - Great book.

    Great resource, I bought this for the reviews I do at work and it has been a huge help, you just have to tailor it for your industry. It's a one size fits all for appraisals but it does truly fits all sizes. Highly recommend this book. If you're in a Management position and perform appraisals, evaluations, reviews for your staff, this book is a must.

  • Sheree Bates - A New Hit Album!

    I am in LOVE with this new release from Barry Gibb. He has outdone himself with this project. I've listened to it daily in the two weeks since I got it. I HIGHLY recommend it to not only Bee Gee fans but anyone looking for great music. Many of the songs reminded me of the recognizable sound of the Bee Gees, but some of them also hinted at country. Lovely!

  • christopher hayes - What problems with the exhaust fan and bare floors?

    I've had the NV22L for about three weeks now, so I can't comment on the longevity at all, but I will update the review if anything happens. I've never used a Dyson so I can't comment on that either.

  • Chuck - The Best Note-Taking Software ... BY FAR !

    I have used & been utterly fascinated with this genre of software {"note-taker," "organizer," "outliner," "free-form database," "personal information manager"} for decades. I well remember using the earliest versions of "Tornado Notes" & askSam--both of which were wonderful in their time; I've upgraded both of those apps over the years & have tested NUMEROUS other competing programs--including: *InfoSelect, *Evernote, *MyInfo, *Ultra Recall, *WhizFolders, & *TreePad.
