I brought this product because my old Peachtree Accounting Software is not compatible to Windows 7 64 bit. It is as good as the old product. The product itself in the accompanying CD is not compatible to Windows 7. However when you install the program with internet online, it will ask you to download files to make it compatible. Once it is done, the program works wonderfully. But it is a little slow every time when you open the program. When you are in it, everything is fine. This program has fewer options then the Peachtree Complete version. It does not has the fixed asset program if your company needs it. The payroll program is fine as long as you pay a premium to Sage company to update the tax rate information online. There are few changes from the previous version. You cannot change to another period if you did not reconcile you accounts. It does away the edit feature in the purchase/receive entry form. However you can still call up the invoices from the list button option and make change and save it. For a few month already, I did not find any conflict to Windows 7 and it is still working fine. If you do not need the fixed asset program or you have other fixed asset program on hand and your company is small. I highly recommand this product.

Pro Tools 9 Software Review

Pro Tools 9 Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
(FYI i purchased PT MP/8 from Amazon and upgraded to PT9 directly through Avid)
Yes, PT is the de facto standard among studios. Yes, PT is very rich in cool and useful features. Yes, with version 9 Avid has finally un-crippled Pro Tools so that it works with any interface and unlocks features previously available only to users of their dedicated-hardware TDM version (of course these features and the ability to work with any interface have generally been available in competitors' products).
But the sad truth is that the big studios that use Pro Tools use it on Mac-based systems with tens of thousands of dollars worth of specialized TDM hardware, and they have service contracts with technicians who keep it configured and running smoothly.
As a PC user running PT9 on native hardware, I have found Pro Tools to be extremely buggy. I installed PT clean on a new PC, and followed the (several pages of) hardware guidelines for setting up the box so that PT would be happy. I am using a new Avid interface. The virtual instruments I use are limited to either Pro Tools Instrument Expansion (PTIE) and Native Instruments Komplete (the latter of which never hangs or crashes under other hosts). Nonetheless, I have experienced frequent crashes and hangs. In particular, I can reliably expect that when I close PT down and try to restart it I get a message the "Pro Tools did not close properly and your system will need to be restarted." Likewise, Pro Tools intermittently fails to recognize my licenses for PTIE's Structure, and will crash if I open up too many virtual instrument tracks. Users who have invested in a 64-bit system should be aware that PT9 is a 32-bit product, by the way.
I have given PT9 a solid try but I have found that it is too unreliable for recording. I also own and use Ableton Live Suite (also limited to 32 bit), Reason/Record, FL Studio 10 (Producer), and Reaper. None of these products have the bugginess / crashing problems that PT9 has.
If you just want to learn Pro Tools, then getting PT9 for the PC is an OK choice. But if you really want to use it you may have to get a Mac (I can't absolutely vouch for this, but on the DUC message board I do not see Mac users complaining about these things the same way PC users do). If you can't afford to invest in a Mac, then you should probably check out Reaper, which despite its criminally low price continues to amaze me as I discover its capabilities.

With prebuilt spreadsheets, SBA-approved document output, and expert guidance at every step, Business Plan Pro enables any business owner or entrepreneur to produce a complete, accurate plan with a minimum of time and expense.

Why use software to create a business plan? Business plans are not rocket science, but neither are they second nature to most of us. You can build the necessary charts, tables, and document sections in office software, but that's time consuming and ultimately unnecessary. Business Plan Pro has everything you need to create a plan today, all proven and error free. Instead of reinventing the wheel, let the software handle the heavy lifting while you focus your time on executing your business strategy.
Recommended by experts, trusted by entrepreneurs Business Plan Pro is the most popular business plan software on the market for nearly a decade now, outselling all others combined. It is the recommended choice of the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, PC World, Inc.com, PC Magazine, Guy Kawasaki, and other experts--as well as thousands of successful entrepreneurs and business owners.
Get started quickly with 500+ sample business plans Say goodbye to writer's block. Business Plan Pro comes with over 500 real business plan examples to give you inspiration. You can browse the sample plan library by industry type, view a summary of each plan, or skim plans in a printable format. Find a sample plan that mirrors your general business concept, and you can use it as a guide to help you write your own--or even edit it directly in Business Plan Pro.
Built-in market research data for 9,000 industry profiles Having trouble finding reliable market research information for your type of business? Business Plan Pro has you covered. The software includes the most commonly needed data for virtually every industry, so you can compare your projected numbers to industry averages for an accurate business plan. This comprehensive collection of data is organized by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. Need to know what others in your industry are spending? What you should spend on marketing? How your initial cost per unit compares? The answers are provided automatically.
Impress your audience using the SBA-preferred document format Need a professional plan document to get funding or inspire your partners? Business Plan Pro produces a complete, easy-to-read document enlivened with colorful charts, tables, and more--all in the format preferred by banks, venture capitalists, and the Small Business Administration.
In addition to the printed document, you can also export your plan to PowerPoint for pitch presentations, to Microsoft Word or Excel, or to Adobe PDF format. You can even upload it to a secure website maintained by Palo Alto Software and share it with your contacts for collaborative review and discussion.
Track your plan against actual results for better business management Business planning is not just for startups. You can take your business to the next level with the Premier Edition's easy-to-use, powerful "plan vs. actual" financial tools. Just track your results and manage your business better by comparing your actual numbers to the figures you projected in your plan. These tools help you better manage your profits, expenses, and cash flow. You can quantify the areas where you are succeeding and identify parts of the business that may need more attention. Watching these issues closely can help you correct your course as you go.
Leverage your data in Microsoft Excel If you already have financial data in Microsoft Excel, you can easily import it directly into Business Plan Pro Premier and link it to your forecast. You can name, format, and include these tables as part of your plan, or use them behind the scenes for advanced financial analysis.
The Premier Edition will help you impress sophisticated investors with advanced investment analysis and valuation. You can both calculate valuation based on sales or earnings and calculate Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV).
Plan your cash flow to match the real world Many profitable startups and small businesses run aground on poor cash flow. The Premier Edition of Business Plan Pro 11.0 helps you avoid cash flow problems by creating what-if scenarios so you can test the key variables that affect your cash flow. You can also use the CashPilot graphical tool, which provides a visual representation to help you better manage three key components in your balance sheet that affect your cash flow--accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory/stock management.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 Academic US Review

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 Academic US
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For all those who ask, "How can I take black & white photos with my camera?" This is the software tool for you. Don't shoot B/W in camera. Shoot color. It will give you more flexibility in the future. Then use Silver Efex to convert your images to black & white (or, toned duotones). Silver Efex Pro 2 provides even more granularity of control in editing than Silver Efex 1 (especially wrt Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness controls - but also by adding some edge and vignette treatments). It still has the wonderful breadth of film emulating effects and the ability to control the level of grain for those film styles (which span from low to high ISO). It still incorporates the Control Point technology which I love for making adjustments in specific points on an image - certainly more control than you'd get dodging & burning in a darkroom (and with far less processing & trial and error time).
Per the other reviewer's mature rant... I asked Nik's Cust. Svc. Dept. whether I could run Silver Efex Pro 2 in parallel with my Silver Efex Pro 1. Their (responsive) reply was that yes, it certainly could be done but that they highly recommended only running one version of SEP at a time. I haven't researched exporting custom saved presets from one version to another, but since it's possible to download additional presets from Nik's website I would suspect that one could port their own custom presets to another version too. I'll have to test the ones I created in SEP v. 1.
This is a highly rated program in all the well-regarded photo magazines and in the very reputable pro camera stores I shop at and seminars I attend. Thumbs up to Silver Efex.

I am not a programmer, but I am a computer nerd. By profession, I am a lawyer. Databases are a very valuable asset for lawyers. In fact, there are about a dozen companies out there who sell customized database applications for lawyers. I've tried alot of them and even use one of these proprietary databases in my practice.
I am considering eventually making my office all-Mac (stability, virus-free, machines stay current and last longer than PC) so I investigated Filemaker. Filemaker will allow me to track all my data exactly how I want and mix Macs and PC's in my office.
Filemaker Pro 9 ships with alot of "Starter Applications"--these are databases already completely set up for you. You enter or import your data and for probably 80% of people who need a database, this is a great place to start--and you may never need to do anything else. Contacts, asset management, task and project management, there are dozens of starter solutions built right into Filemaker.
For us tinkerers, we want to be able to to make the database track what we want, and in exactly the way we want. You DO NOT have to be a computer programmer to do this or learn some crazy and difficult magic language as another reviewer suggests. It is hands down easier to do this stuff in FMP9 than in any other product out there. That that other reviewer would even suggest that Filemaker Pro and any SQL solution is even in the same ballpark in difficulty is ridiculous. SQL gives professional, full-time programmers nightmares. If you can figure out the train wreck that is SQL queries, you'll feel like you landed in a sunny tropical paradise in FMP9. Understand, this is not a crippled, limited tool. Its a full featured, powerful relational database with tools built into it to make it as easy for new users as possible to use. You can make about as complex a database with powerful automated features as you could ever want. BUT, if you do that, you DO have to LEARN how to do it. Complex databases take some planning and know how. Read a book or watch a training video, and tinker.
If you learn how to use FMP9, I can tell you that you will save on other software costs in the future, because you can throw together whatever you need--no buying multiple other apps to track this or that.
I'd suggest the very readable Filemaker Pro The Missing Manual as a great book. There are videos you can watch on your computer, too. You can pick up Filemaker 8 training for $10 on ebay, and that will teach you 90% of what you need to know bc the basics did not change much between 8 and 9. I also got s cheap copy of Chris Ippolite's "Beyond the Basics" training DVD and it is truly excellent.
If you are the type who might consider customizing a database, then Filemaker is hands down the best option out there. Give it a try--you can download a 30 day evaluation copy at the Filemaker web site. I think you'll be impressed.

I have used Paint Shop Pro for years and I love it, but it is getting kind of old. So when I saw this new version, I was delighted. I installed it and tried it out, and it worked great. It does all the things Paint Shop Pro does, and lots more besides. It is clean and intuitive, and I can see how I would use it to get a lot done. It works great for cleaning up digital photos, and I especially like the "thinify" tool, which makes me look more attractive than I actually am. So why am I giving it 1 star?
Unfortunately, I had to delete this fine software from my system. I simply can not agree to the license agreement. Here is the part I can't agree with:
1.19.3 You hereby acknowledge and consent to Corel: monitoring your Use of the Product, authenticating and periodically verifying your licensing rights in the Product, collecting, transmitting, using and sharing with Corel's third party marketing partners, data relating to you and your Use of the Product for advertising, marketing, operational and other purposes, accessing, utilizing and altering the existing functionality, including any default settings, of the computer system on which you Use the Product, and receiving in-Product messages from Corel and its third party marketing partners, all in accordance with Corel's Privacy Policy located at [...].
