This review is from: Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Web Premium, Student & Teacher version (PC) (DVD-ROM)

the software is fantastic just a little hard to get used to, you will only be able to use this if you have a few years expericne of web or graphics design, if you dont then stick to free or basic packages.

if i was not a student then i would not be able to affored this package as its way to exspensive to buy.

come on adobe if you price things so that they are affordable then there would not be so many illegal copys and cracks our there...

great software for semi experncie or expert...

A good System, and a good buy, 19 Mar 2012

This review is from: Dell Optiplex GX620, MS Win XP Pro, Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, 1GB Memory, 80GB Hard Drive, DVD / CDRW Combo (Electronics)

The Dell computer was well packed, and worked perfectly when I attached all my bits and pieces, keyboard, mouse, monitor, scanner and speakers. It was exactly as described in the Sellers summary and I consider this to be a bargain. Delivery was a couple of days late, but I live in a small Town on the North coast of Scotland and expect some delays in delivery. This was not a problem, I would recommend Perfect IT.

This review is from: The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer and Entrepreneur Must Know to Succeed in Good Times and Bad (Hardcover)

Having bashed out code for some 10 years, I enjoyed this book with many if the observations ringing true. The author has 'been there, done that' with a clear assessment of companies he's been associated with that have both flown or flopped. I appreciated his observations that in the context of its market, Microsoft's development practices make sense, while allowing that six-sigma/ISO9001 is fine for other folks.

The message to take away is that big wealth comes from hitting the revenue J-curve with a shrink-wrapped software package than can ship for a £1 but be charged at full retail. However, not many of us are so blessed, and the reality is that most companies need to plug away on combined product/service offering where the scalability and margins are never going to achieve that of a 'killer-app' that flies off the shelves. But one can dream!

The Software Business is Unlike Any Other Business, 15 Nov 2009

Mariusz Skonieczny "Author" (Schaumburg, IL) -

This review is from: The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer and Entrepreneur Must Know to Succeed in Good Times and Bad (Hardcover)

The software business is unlike any other business. To start a manufacturing business, significant capital is needed to finance inventory, equipment, factory, and so on. What does one need to start a software company? A COMPUTER and some other miscellaneous items are needed, and that's it. And once a software program is written, how much does it cost to product a million copies? It cost very little. No wonder Microsoft is so profitable. This book is great for entrepreneurs interested in starting up a software company and for investors who are looking to invest in any software company. In my view, it is better to spend $20 to $30 on a book that can save someone thousands or even millions of dollars in mistakes.

Packed With Knowledge!, 30 Aug 2004

Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract" (Switzerland) -

This review is from: The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer and Entrepreneur Must Know to Succeed in Good Times and Bad (Hardcover)

Even after the dot-com boom and bust, software remains the business world's glamour industry. In this insightful study, professor and industry expert Michael A. Cusumano skips the glitz and goes straight for the nuts and bolts. The result is a clear rendering of exactly what makes one software firm hit it big while dozens of others go broke. Despite a slight, occasional tendency to sound academic, Cusumano really explains why a well-run software company can be a gold mine. He carefully covers the best practices in the software development industry in depth and offers plenty of real-world case histories to add juice to what could have been a dry recitation. He even explains why you have to hold on so long when you call a mass-market software firm's toll-free number. We recommend this detailed book to software pros seeking insight into their industry, as well as to investors and to those who like inside stories about entrepreneurial adventures.

Review of refurbished desktop, 6 May 2011

This review is from: Dell Optiplex GX270 Tower Desktop PC, Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz, 1024MB Memory, 1TB (1000GB) Hard Drive, DVD-Rewriter, Genuine Windows XP Professional SP3 pre-installed

This computer was purchased from Value Computers and has behaved very well since purchase with one exception. When using email there is a tendency for a block of 'computer speak' (symbols and letters) to appear on the screen ahead of the usual email messaging page. Now I find it difficult to send emails (this one is from my old computer) as the same block of computer script appears and remains on the page preventing me from entering my message. This is obviously a major setback.

I am very pleased with the service I received. My order was delivered next day!!!!! The staff I found very friendly and helpful. I have recommended them to friends. I will definitely use this service again.
I am extremely happy with my product. I got a lovely brand new HP smart Card key board with my computer tower - which was a lovely surprise. The computer is fast and efficient and runs extremely well. Good value for money (1TB hard drive - "such bliss").

I plan to purchase further products from this company in the near future.

6 LED Night Vision Webcam with micophone, 16 Sep 2007

Mr. A. Kemmitt -

This review is from: Lutall 16000K Pixels Driverless Digital PC Camera with Mic, Support A key camera function

i found this little webcam to be very good, i found it easy to install, and when its night time the 6 LED lights work and yeah ok they do turn off when it is light time but if you dont have a light that is bright enough to let people see you then all you have to do is just use the lights and the mic works fine.
