My title of this review says it all. He makes some really good points and helpful suggestions. His twelve step can be helpful, only in the perfect World. Unfortunately, we don't live in the perfect World, as we don't have enough time to apply all of his concepts. It would probably take less time to read the assigned chapters rather than to follow his 12 steps. I do get what he says. He says to weed out the unimportant information and only to concentrate on the useful information. The only advice I will adopt are to pay attention to headings, titles, anything in bold, first and last paragraph of each chapter, questions by the author, graphs, illustrations, summaries and such. I'm only going to focus on what is important to me by skimming, rather than reading every little word. That's the only advice I am able to take from this book. I don't have the time or the energy to be so interractive, as he suggests. Instead what I find useful in studying is finding sample tests I can take on a subject, rather than coming up with my own questions and such. It's easier to study from sample tests and basically, sample test cover the most useful information. I also find his lecture note taking tips useful. In other words, just read the book but only apply the concepts you're comfortable with and use the information that you're able to use into your studying skills.

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

The previous reviews accurately describe the product, so I'll just add my two cents. The ribbon is more efficient, and I'm not opposed to new technology. I just wish they didn't choose this time to cram it down our throats. It would be nice if the product allowed a person to use the classic tool bar while becoming familiar with the ribbon. You can avoid it at home, but your office is probably going to buy it and leave you little choice but to get used to it.

Fortunately, Amazon ships this product to the APO because an attempt to purchase from MicroSoft through their Digital River distributor leads to nothing but frustration. Their application for entering a billing address thoughtfully includes AE and such in the drop down list for the state, but it keeps deleting APO or DPO from the field where a person would enter those letters for the city. It expects a city's name that you would find on a map. They make it impossible to sell to a person who has an APO (or DPO) billing address. You have to get the run-around from them, though, to learn this lesson.

The price today ($60) is the same as the "Ultimate Steal" (google it), so you could save yourself the trouble and just buy it through Amazon.

I glued magnets to the backs of four of these boards. I have them stuck on my refrigerator: weeks priorities and to-do list, shopping list, the weeks menu plan and a place to jot down phone numbers, notes, messages etc. I really love them.
