Customer Review: rip off
i think it’s outrageous that you have to pay for this software in the first place. samsung offer an equivalent program on their website for free. a big black mark for motorola!!!
Customer Review: Disappointing software
I had version 4 with my new V3im along with a mini usb data cable. The software worked fine the first time I used it and I downloaded/uploaded photos and ringtones between the phone and PC and synched with outlook. My sister had the V3i phone and had problems getting the software to stay connected to her phone long enough to transfer anything. I tried my phone again and had exactly the same problem. It initialises and the phone display comes up but as soon as you go into the media manager it loses the connection with the phone. I’ve reinstalled it and it was no better. I ended up removing it completely from my PC and buying a bluetooth dongle from Tesco. I now use the bluetooth to move photos and ringtones about. Unfortunately I could not recommend MPT to anyone even though it was supplied with the phone. Motorola should take a leaf from Samsung’s book - their website is fantastic and you can download the software and updates free and it works every time - you can edit photos/transfer music/backup your contacts etc with no problems at all.

Customer Review: A great help to identification.
What a pleasure to use and so helpfull, information is key with mushrooms, if your not sure, dont touch it! I find best to look out for a selection of specific and easily recognised and confirmed species, such as sulphur polypore, giant puffball, cep (penny bun) also Tree ears can be in abundance but dont fry them!! they jump about! use them for sauces. Happy Hunting!
Customer Review: Knowing what to look for…
In picking mushrooms, there are 2 approaches: - show the good and the bad and have copious notes to explain the two - show only the good and advise the picker to ignore or discard anything that doesn’t appear in the book. Jordan follows the latter and safe as it is, there is always something that makes you want to know about the Dark Side of mycology, just in case you should wander into its temple one day… Easy recipes, sound advice, safe approach.

Customer Review: Obscure book from my childhood
Nobody seems to remember this book, but I remember it distinctly. It seems odd that a videogame guidebook could be considered one of the most memorable pieces of prose someone ever read, but when I began thinking again about playing FF3/FF6 back when I was a kid, and having this book then, I remembered. Olafson warns the reader immediately in the intro that he’s going to write a story instead of a straightforward cheat guide. He admits he hasn’t written from a designer’s perspective, but from the one of someone who’s played it quite a few times, and the hints aren’t mapped out like in new books, and there aren’t maps for every dungeon, and there aren’t bulleted lists of items, and there aren’t spoiler warnings. The entire book is one big spoiler, because Olafson goes through every piece of plot, but also looks at the story. Not just what happens, how it happens, but why it happens, and how the characters feel. Analyzing dialogue. Mentioning tilts of the sprite’s head. Going into thematic issues of greed, revolution, identity, love, betrayal, even suicide. One thing he doesn’t know is that Celes doesn’t have to jump. Cid doesn’t have to die. I noticed when I looked in the new guidebook, that it tells you to find a certain fish. But the story is so much more poignant because of this scene. I don’t know if Olafson knew there was any other way for it to play out, for Cid not to die. It seems wrong in a way for Cid to live, although he’s a beautiful though minor character. A man who was a scientist, and was drawn into something cruel, and redeemed himself, and learned what family means, and loyalty, and love. And these things I don’t know if I could’ve gleaned from the dialogue and one run-through of those tilts of a sprite’s head. Olafson seems to have gleaned all there is to from the story of FF6. Gotten to the depths. Sure, he makes parallels with Star Wars and other stories that surely influenced it, and that’s to make the reader understand and see what he saw and see what the writers wanted you to see. And he does it beautifully.
