As a teen in the 60’s I remember “How it was” with the racial issues. Although I lived in Pa, it was a fact that even here, blacks were second class citizens and injustice was common place. I think this novel was pretty much accuate in the portrail of life during that time. i really enjoyed the book. My only disapointment was the abrupt ending. Like other reviewers, I would have liked to have more of the loose ends tied up. It left me wanting more. This is a relly good read for anyone who wants to step back in time to the way it was during that era. Loved each of the charecters!

I’ve read the 5 books of this series and cannot wait for the 6th! This author has a wonderful imagination and sense of humor! The earth-eating, flatulent Mulch Diggums is my favorite character! I wonder who’ll be cast to play his part in the movie? hmmm

The purchase is in fact of a key code to download the softwear. Difficulty began when trying the two methods provided by vendor which seemed to have worked for two other persons providing previous reviews. But, after 3 hours of multiple tries, contact with the vendor and finally a call to Microsoft, it was determined there was somtheing wrong with the code provided. Recontacted vendor. Although the vendor did not have the degree of urgency I did, they ultimately also contacted Microsoft, then provided me with a new key code which worked on the first try, and I was done in 15 minutes. I believe the vendor is selling a good product at a fantastic price, but customer support is not a strong suit for what appears to be a growing company. Having done it this way, I am glad I did. But, not sure I would go this way again.

It perfectly does what it is supposed to do.
I really can’t tell the speed difference, and
it is just fast enough. Good product from a
reliable company.

I highly recommend getting extra darts for your kids’ nerf guns. My son and daughter have loved reloading and firing these little things all over the place. They stick great to glass, wood, plastic and walls.

Yes, I am another one of those suckers that didn’t pay attention to the one star reviews for this item. I wanted to save a few bucks. I got this Transcend SDHC card for a Fuji HS10 camera and took several hundred photos with it. I really wanted to test it. It worked fine. For a while.

Then, at a conference, after I had taken about 300 photos with it, mostly of slide presentations, a major glitch happened. I had accidentally hit the record video button on the camera, and so I moved to delete this unwanted video. Now, I had done this “delete” function a number of times on the HS10 camera, and never had a problem. There is no way on the HS10 to accidentally delete ALL of your photos all at once with this delete button (you can do that only if you go through the main menu and activate the “format” function).

As soon as this video got deleted, this card decided that the rest of the stored photos, some 300 of them, also no longer existed.

Bummer. Fortunately the great Amazon 30-day warranty was still in effect, and I had saved the packaging. I ordered a Sandisk SDHC 30Mb/sec card (which does not run much faster on the HS10, by the way). Yesterday, the Sandisk card arrived, and so I sent this Transcend card back to Amazon today for a refund.

If you look at all the Amazon reviews, about 20% of the reviews (one star to three star) make some comment about the unreliability of this Transcend card. Can you believe that Amazon actually sells this thing? Just think, what if 20% of one brand of new cars sold in this country stopped running days to months after the purchase? Would anybody sell those cars still?

Now, the Sandisk card is about 2.5 times more expensive than this card, so I’ll be REALLY upset if it starts to misbehave also.

I use this card in a Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder. 1080 videos shot at 30fps require class 6 speed, and this card delivers nicely. I did have to wait a while to get my card as these are a hot item. Maybe a week? Best of all, not in that stupid anti-shoplifting/display packaging.

It works fine. I have web-based e-mail and keep my contacts on paper so don’t need Outlook, etc. It’s fine.

In short, I’m so glad I got this! it is a kick to use. I love knowing my running pace and all the little auto stop/beep at the mile functions. way cool! Great for Ironman Training. Would be cool if it was waterproof. I’d like to now have to leave it with my bike while I do the swim. But oh well.
