    Mac OS X Tiger
    I am holding onto my G4 Mac. Don’t need a G5 to change my whole life and cause me to upgrade thousands of dollars worth of software applications just to conform to the new OS for the G5. Everything seems to work fine right now, so why would I need to change anything? Tiger OS System takes care of everything for me and after 25 years of computers, I don’t need to upgrade to something that has to have all the bugs worked out for the next 2 years. I think Apple is more concerned about iPods than making a better Macintosh. I visited an Apple store in Ft. Lauderdale and could not get help with information about the new G5 computer. They just tried to sell me an iPod. The iPod is the last thing I will need on this earth.

    Mac OS X 10.4.6
    I upgraded OSX 10.3.9 without a hitch….well I did have to rework a few items (drivers for my 2496 sound card and a few apps.,etc…) to function however it wasn’t that bad. After upgrading I can now use my wireless network printer. (Yuppie!) This OS kind of looks the same as 10.3.9 but it has many new features I like and use. I highly recommend it.

    I mainly use my computer for Music (Digital Performer 4.6) and home video projects (Finalcut Pro 4.5HD) I also use it for surfing the Internet, Design and Word documents among many other things. My Mac is and has been the main item of my home recording studio. (G4 800 Quicksilver) I am very happy so far with this upgrade and recommend it to all G4 users waiting.

    Hope this helps,

    Great product and great service from John Kreutzer
    I was upgrading Pro Tools (recording software) and needed to upgrade my Apple Mac operating system. This was exactly what I needed. After ordering I was waiting for both this software and the Pro Tools upgrade. I was getting anxious since I was ready to begin recording again (haven’t in about a year and a half). Anyway, I sent an email to John Kreutzer (the third party vendor I was ordering from). He was exceptionally kind and answered letting me know it had shipped a few days before and that I should get the software the next day. Well, low and behold, it was at home when I got there that night. A day before promised!!! That’s refreshing these days. It installed with no problems and I updated from Apple any patches that have come out since then. It works flawlessly and I am happily recording again and thoroughly enjoying myself.

    I would highly recommend this to anyone that needs this upgrade. In this case, Pro Tools has not certified it’s product with Leopard yet so this was best for me.

    My thanks to Amazon and to John for making it happen timely.

    Just what I needed
    Needed this upgrade, tried several places to get it including Apple but found it here.

    Was everything advertised, came promptly and I am completely satisfied.

    Buggest software around
    Unreliable software. It hangs up frequently. iCal is the worst scheduling program on the market. Expect it to duplicate events every time you sync with your phone. On a related note. Expect to pay for 3rd party software in order to sync your phone if its not a iphone.

    among the stars
    Let me start by stating that if you watch Stardust the movie hoping that it achieves the aura of Stardust the book, you will be disappointed. That, however, is the fate of most book into movie productions. Stardust the book was magical because it is made of words. Stardust the movie is made of images and it is unrealistic to hope that it could capture the essence of the written version.

    That said, Stardust the movie has its moments. Clare Danes makes a luminous star, Charlie Cox a credulous young hero, and deNiro has a great time camping it up in his role as secretly gay pirate captain. Michelle Pfeiffer is less successful as the witch; either of her two crone sisters could have done better. There are more than a few problems with the story line, which, especially at the start, jumps about in a confusing manner.

    It is in its individual scenes that this movie shines. Seeing a dying prince bleed blue blood. Watching the 6 dead brothers in their ghostly throng, bearing their slashed throats and axes in the head. The Capt. Hook - style sequences with the air ship. The fairy tale backgrounds and the gypsy wagon. The special effects, which, while not spectacular, do their job. The developing love story. It isn’t perfect, but Stardust is good entertainment, fun to lose oneself in on a rainy evening. If you enjoy the movie, you owe it to yourself to read the book. It’s even better.

    Utterly breathtaking!
    Stardust is a movie that constantly takes my breath away each time I view it, everything about it, from the visuals, music, acting, characters to story are so beautiful and magical. This movie will definitely go down as a cult classic!

    FYI I bought this edition and the Region 4 dvd because I kept feeling like there were some changes made to the movie… and I was right. This Region 1 version has a few extra minutes of footage that the Region 4 dvd does not.

    I haven’t had this much fun since the Princess Bride!
    This is a hilarious take on the fantasy genre, and if you enjoy witches, magic and comedy all rolled into one delicious package, then you should see this!

    Stardust
    Great movie for both adults & children. Definately a movie that I’d watch again when stuck inside winter time.

    Robert DeNiro In Drag
    This is a charming family entertainment with a preposterous plot line: witches, magical transformations, and all the rest of the panoply of fairytale lore. What makes it special are the cameo roles from Peter O’Toole, David Kelly, and Ricky Gervaise - and most of all the superb Salty Dog/Drag Queen role for DeNiro which so obviously delights him that it delights the viewer too. This is one of those movies that you watch again and again for the small details, the moments of magic that occur in the interstices of the plot-line which add up to a cumulative pleasure not easily surpassed. If you don’t happen to have small children, try to rent a couple for a few hours in order to justify watching this movie at least once.

    Great purchase
    I like this skillet a lot and use it everyday. It’s not stick at all. The taste of food is really good by using this pan. The only problem is that it is a little bit heavy.

    Good value
    Pros: No non-stick, easy to clean, can cook just about anything it it. It was less expensive than I could find anywhere else by about $20 and it came with free shipping. You can use to cook in kitchen and camping.

    Cons: It’s quite heavy (duh–it’s cast iron) and I’m a pretty strong male.

    I was able to reduce number of pots I used to cook due to it’s size. You could probably cook chili in it — it is large enough.

    I wanted something I could use for both in the kitchen and camping. I think if I was just looking for something in the kitchen, I would have goon with stainless steel. Of course you pay a lot more for good stainless steel.

    Is it okay to be obsessed with my iron skillet?
    This is my very first cast iron anything, and I love it so much. I wasn’t raised on cast iron, so I had to do some research to know how to care for the skillet (for the novice like me, can I recommend the book, “Cast Iron Cooking for Dummies”?). Anyway, I am obsessed with cooking with this, b/c I now know that the more I cook with it, the better it will get. I want to cook/bake everything on it. I even baked some brownies in this thing, and they were delicious! I know that until I get a good seasoning on this, that I shouldn’t cook anything acidic, so I was so upset that I couldn’t cook a Thai dish on it, b/c the sauce contained tomatoes. My husband told me that I was so pathetic about having to use my stainless steel skillet, that he wanted to cry for me. LOL!

    A better size for fish
    Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned SkilletThe 12 inch skillet allows for cooking trout (and other fish) easier and usually without cutting them up too bad. It fits the burner fine and better than a 15 inch does. Like the 10-1/4 inch, it isn’t as smooth as my old 50 year old one is though, and the 50 year old one was second hand when I got it. I would guess that this one will be just as good and smooth in say–50 years or so.

    Cast iron is the way to go.
    In the past year, I have become a total convert to cast iron cookware. I have a well seasoned 10″ inch and needed a bigger skillet to saut

    A Very Beautiful Watch; Catches the Eye.
    I bought this watch from another retailer because I actually fell in love with it upon sight.

    I had been looking for a watch with those classic lines and contours of older watches, but to no avail, partly because most watch sites don’t really give you pictures that show the watch as it really appears.

    I intend to remedy that with my own pictures.

    The chronograph features were a big plus for me. The buttons are big and positive in their action.

    The large date windows are a very good feature, as is the texture of the dial.

    Movado who is the parent company of ESQ, states that ESQ features “the same sophisticated silhouettes and innovative design features found in more expensive timepieces, along with the high quality, durability, and technical precision you’d expect from Movado.

    I certainly can’t argue with that.

    The bracelet is manufactured in Hong Kong and the case may well be also, but the dial is marked “Swiss Quartz” and the back is labeled “Swiss Quartz Movement.”

    Regardless, the quality of the case and bracelet is impeccable and the movement is such that it can legally be labeled Swiss Quartz.

    At the price advertised on Amazon, this is a very good deal indeed.

    Classy & Accurate
    This watch is classy and a good deal at Amazon’s discounted price. The movement is a Swiss quartz (made by Ronda..the most famous Swiss movement maker is ETA) but the case is foreign, to cut down on cost. It is a nice weight, and not overwhelming on a small-ish wrist. I have several watches, so I don’t know if I would recommend this to be the one and only watch to own, but it’s very attractive and looks more expensive than it is.

    The band and the clasp are nice for this price range, some watches have hollow links and these are solid. The face is also very detailed as well, with a textured (guilloche) surface. The only thing that might blow its cover to observant eyes is the case; it’s a bit clunky compared to its more famous Swiss cousins.

    Very Very Nice
    This was an great purchase in time for christmas in great condition.And accurate tracking information.

    Good starter filter.
    Well, I think this polarized filter is probably the best for the price. I’m brand new to DSL’ and I kept stumbling over discussion’s about polarized filter’s and went looking for one. It’s true that you get what you pay for. Theres less expensive ones and certainly more expensive circular polarized filter’s. There seemed to be a big jump in price (maybe around $60.00)from this price to a better quality filter. So, for your first try at using a polarized filter’s, I think this is a fair price. Granted theres better quality out there.

    Great transaction!
    Product was in good condition and works as described. Shipping and packing was good too.

    Rocks my socks
    I love this filter, took me a second to figure out where to spin it to, but once i marked my 0,45, and 90 degree positions taking pictures of water, mirrors and the sky started coming out just like i wanted. I think everyone should have a polarized filter in their kit. and this filter kicks booty for the price.

    Exactly as expected - like having x-ray vision
    We put this filter on our Canon S3 IS and took a picture of a car. With filter, we can see through the glass windows into the interior. No filter, we see reflections and glare on the glass. Mission accomplished! This filter does exactly what we want such a filter to do. Comes in a good hard plastic box to protect it (some of our other filters from other makes come in paper boxes or simple cloth bags). Price was nicely competitive.

    good quality filter
    I’m not a pro but I like to take pictures. This filter does great job and I use it most often of all my filters.

    Works Just As Advertised…
    With gas prices these days, might as well buy them online. I ordered 3 of them with Amazon and got them within 2 days - pretty good. If you buy 3 or more, you get the free shipping which also saves money.

    Unbelieveable
    The Product is great! I just never got what I ordered. After 3 tries I finally gave up.

    Stick with Canon Inks
    I currently have a Canon i960, but I’ve learned over the years never substitute generic inks no matter what the advertisement says. Only Canon inks give me the quality I want and don’t ruin the printer. I do a lot of color prints to use as references in my art work, and contrary to what others may say, the inks last a long time and are well worth the expense for me.

    Best for Canon printers
    This ink works great with Canon printer. Unfortunately this is the ONLY ink that works great with a canon printer. Any other ink I tried produce terrible result. So, basically if you own Canon printer you stuck with this ink, which can be a little less expensive. I gave 4 stars because the price is a bit high.

    Canon Inks
    Genuine ink for the Pro Canon photo printers. Results are outstanding with photos you swear came from a pro lab.
