Extensis Corp. BCE-10731 Review: Photoframe 2.0. Having used PhotoFrame in years past, I was excited to find that it was still available. The only problem is that is no longer works with modern versions of PhotoShop. That's information that would have been handy to know ahead of time. It didn't work with CS5, so I tried it on older versions I had on some computers, back to CS3. I still have the 18 floppies from Version 3, my first PhotoShop, but didn't feel like installing it just to make PhotoFrame work. A total waste of money. ... Read more »

Atari 99204 Review: Risk II. Risk 2 is not an upgrade. It is a companion to the original game offering additional variations on the game. The interface is improved and the 'bookkeeping' phase moves quickly even with all of the options turned on. There are two additions to the classic version - the first is 'same time' Risk. All moves are entered and the computer resolves battles simultaneously (similar to Diplomacy). The second addition is the 'tournament'. In the tournament there are 16 pre-determined starts and ...

Candy Land Adventure Review: Candy Land Adventure. I don't understand why adults would roll their eyes over this game and this is coming from a 22 year old. I bought this game for my sister years ago when it was the board game and we both loved it and the CD rom version is even better than the board game. I let my babysitting charges play with it and they love it.

Stanley 55-525 Review: Stanley 55-525 15-inch Super Wonder Bar Pry Bar. I bought this recently to replace a regular flat bar that I had banged the end off of. The "wonder" of this bar comes in the unique bend mid-way through the handle, which enables the wonder bar to act like a lever and fulcrum together. This serves several purposes, and you will wonder how you ever got by without it. Got a stubborn nail that won't come out even with a big tug with a framing hammer? Simply hook the nail head on the wonder bar and step on the ... Read more »

Mindscape 112671 Review: The Complete National Geographic. We need not discuss the greatness of National Geographic Magazine; people already know it's the best source of geographic knowledge these days.

The text is barely readable at times, but thankfully, the majority is readable.

LucasArts 80518 Review: Star Wars: X-Wing Collector Series. I bought this game for my 486 years ago, back when the game had to be installed from a floppy diskette. The gameplay is second to none. No game since this one has kept me up at night, formulating different strategies in order to succeed in a previous mission failure.

You could run the old DOS version on a 386-processor computer, and I'm still playing the Collector's Edition port to Windows on my 1.3GHz notebook years later.It's not a perfect port, though. The opening cutscene is missing some of the sounds from the original, like the British woman saying, "Warning...warning..."

Heath Outdoor Products MP-15-4 Review: Heath Outdoor Products 15 Foot Telescoping Galvanized Steel Purple Martin House Pole. I bought this pole and installed it for my Purple Martin house. Martin houses are heavy (even heavier with birds and nests in them) and probably require the strength of steel rather than wood or PVC. Installation requires digging a 12 " hole, 30" to 36" deep, a bag of cement and some gravel. Of course, this means you must have the tools necessary for digging and mixing the cement (Post hole digger, mixing pan, hoe, and a shovel) and the permission of ... Read more »
