This is just what you would expect from a monopolistic company. It works OK most of the time but really has no value added features from the old Microsoft Office version. The biggest issue I have with it is that it is not compatible with older versions. If you send someone an attachment, they will not be able to open it unless they have the new office version. The only reason I can see for this is the desire by microsoft to guarantee their income–and further enrichen Bill Gates.

Having written a reference work on food myself, I fully realize how difficult it is to research and write such a book as this, and how easy it is to find fault and criticize. And if I had seen the original edition of this book when it was first published, I probably would have found it valuable and interesting. If it had been heavily revised and brought up to date, it still might be. But it isn’t. I have been reading the chapter on Iceland and I have to say that it is very misleading. What is being described – and not always correctly – is Iceland in the 1950s and 1960s. A few examples – there are many more in the text:

“Some homes have refrigerators with freezers” (yes, about 98% of them) “but most manage with cold closets.” I’m the only person I know who has a cold larder (and a refrigerator and a freezer, too). Refrigerators have been in most homes here since the early 1960s at least. “Fresh fruits are scarce”. They haven’t been scarce for the last 30 years at least. These days you can even get exotic fruits like ramboutan and mangosteen. “Cattle are mainly used for dairy products, rarely for beef.” Beef is now as common as lamb. “Pigs are all but nonexistent; pork is rare and expensive and said to have a fishy taste …” Now common, inexpensive by Icelandic standards and quite good. “Icelanders have a deeply rooted objection to eating birds of any type” – oh, come on, chicken was not much eaten but not because people didn’t like it, rather because it wasn’t economical to raise the birds on imported grain. They are very popular now. And wild birds have always been eaten – in some regions they were a large part of the diet. “… margarine and butter (all unsalted)”. Totally wrong. Both margarine and butter is almost always salted. “Salt is seldom added (to food)” Wrong. Salt is added to most savory food and many people salt their food liberally. “Preferring to talk in separate groups, men and women disperse after the meal, it still being

I was looking for a pocket pedometer for a contest we are having at work. The pedometers that were provided worked ok, but wouldn’t stay put and ended up dropping to the floor and didn’t keep a correct count from that point on. I googled for some reviews on products and this one kept coming up highly rated so I gave it a shot. I LOVE it! I love that it keeps a great count and can just slide into my pocket or purse. It does have the belt clip option though for those days I don’t have a pocket. Works great and I love that it automatically resets itself at midnight and stores the last 7 days of results! I highly recommend this product!

For an old techie this is fun!! It’s a lot of power in a small handheld computer/storage device. Learning curve is steep, but a little help from a three year old makes it easier. Wifi internet capability is in the mix along with many apps for fun, free or purchase. Movie, music and audio downloads abound. Good product. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
