2 comments about Teach Me Guitar Deluxe.

1. I bought 2 CDROMs from this company, piano for my kid and guitar for myself. Neither does a very good job of teaching. This one is by far the worse of the two. My biggest problem is the lessons are very scattered. You are expected to go from point A to point D, skipping B and C. The playback on the songs isn't very flattering, as it is MIDI with no real guitar sounds. The instructor is straight out of the eighties with his big hair, so if anything I got a good laugh.



2. I got this for my kids and am really disappointed. Frankly I hate it and feel ripped off. I can teach my kids more useable hands on guitar than this ever will and the kids immediately lost interst with it. Kids learn from songs they already know - and this thing has only three made up mediocre tunes to learn with. I saw a cd that had about 100 known songs on it for the kids to pick and learn - this wasnt the one! Wish I had wrote down the program so I didnt make the mistake.

1. excellent little app, though over priced, it does what I could do on linux for free, but since I have many apps which meet common ground on the hideous OS from redmond (xp pro), I decided to go with it.
   In my tests with some minidvds (Vob mpeg2 codec which is a pain to encode) it created three quicktime files, one which played with both audio and video but could not be edited in Avid xpress pro (video only no sound) yet the other two files were one audio and one video which were easily combined and edited with Avid, and with Vob, separating the video and audio had always been the way to do things.
   
   so three stars, does what it is told, and is a quick solution. took away two stars because the price is a bit much. Now, if it had the ability to encode a variety of codecs, well....

4 comments about TV SlideShow Studio.

1. I recently purchased TV SlideShow Studio and spent many hours creating a presentation that would be shown at my daughter's wedding reception. What I found after the effort was that, despite periodically saving my work -- or so I thought -- NONE of my work was saved.
   
   Abacus Publishing's Tech Support, after waiting more than a week after I asked how to get a file to save properly, finally responded -- by noting that the problem was apparently known, and the problem would not appear in the upcoming Version 2 of the product. That, of course, did me no good whatsoever; I paid for a product that does not function properly.
   
   There are some very nice features in this product and it offers much promise, particularly given its relatively low cost. But if the presentation cannot be saved, what good does any of this do?
   
   Look elsewhere if you're seeking software to put together a presentation of your photographs.



2. I purchased this program to put together a 20 minute project. I also saved the project every 10 minutes only to find out after the program was closed that the file never actually saved. Lost hours of work. Avoid this software.



3. The Program is great and is working properly thank you for a speedy delivery, and for your services.



4. I recently purchased and installed TV Slideshow Studio 2.5 ... it was a BIG mistake!
   Every time I tried to select a transition from the transition screen by double-clicking, the program aborted with a 'memory could not be read' error.
   When I tried to create a VCD slideshow(NOT a VCD disk), the compression progress screen would abort with an 'Invalid Pointer' error.
   This program has many nice features, but it's definitely not ready for prime time! Save your money!

5 comments about Microsoft Publisher 2002.

1. One of the biggest sins Microsoft committed with her Office XP Application Suite is removing the Publisher from its Professional edition without lowering the price. (The Professional edition of Office 2000 has Publisher, in addition to all other Applications present in XP Professional). But that apart, I must say that this Publisher 2002 works fine. It is fast, very easy to customize, and yields high quality Desktop Publishing outputs. Still, a close scrutiny revealed that its 'improvements' over the 2000 edition is only marginal. The difference between the two is mainly on the interface. Hence, I regard this 2002 edition as a great value for anyone upgrading a 9X version; but not for the 2000 one.



2. I agree...poor girl! I am a real newbie (massage therapist turned computer user) and have found this program to be a web creator's nightmare. I think I'll cruise on down to the freeware sites to see what I can scare up there. I want a fairly simple web page that links to a few more. For those of us that know the anatomy of the human body better than HTML...I would stay away from THIS BEAST. It will make the less confident feel even more so! And by the way.... these other sugar coated reviews...does Microsoft pay some slouch to type them up all day, or what? Nauseating!!!!!



3. My goodness, you would think a $10 billion company could do better than this.

   They talk about double sided printing...

   You CANNOT even "print even" or "print odd" pages. You have to sit in front of your computer and print EACH and EVERY page manually.

   You cannot print to an image file (well, yes you can, but the low resolution makes the file unusable)

   You cannot print to a PDF

   Printing to a post script file cut off half the image on one of the projects!

   This product assumes your printing service uses Publisher.
   Guess what... most don't

4. This Microsoft product may be fine. But I do not recommend buying it through Amazon.com. The seller, softmall.com, is totally unresponsive to e-mail queries. When I asked to have my order cancelled, I got no reponse from them. And Amazon.com was unwilling to help resolve the issue. It has been 6 week, and I have not received the product, nor have I received a refund.



5. I have Windows 98SE and unfortunately this is what was the best that was available for this operating system. With all these newer versions of similiar programs only functional with Windows XP, my computer will soon be completely obsolete.

1 comments about Learn the Guitar & Bass Fretboards and Learn Chords with the Guitar Addict Bundle Software.

1. I bought this product and I am extremely satisfied. The bundle comes with 3 software packages for learning the guitar fretboard, bass fretboard, and learning chords. All products are very effective. I love how I can isolate areas on the fretboard for practicing specific sections. The ear training is very effective since it has real instrument sounds. I also like that it shows the notation for each note. Understanding chords has never been easier. These products really make these montonous kind of learning tasks fun. My playing and knowledge is already improving after only using for a short time. The price for this package I think is a great deal because you get software that runs on your PC and if you have a Windows Mobile touch device it will also run on it.

1. I have had this product for years and have used it to make more cards, signs, invitations, etc. than you can imagine. It has a huge variety of images to use and tools to change things also. Totally worth it to buy this item! I couldn't to without it!
