Advantages: good features, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...You may think that a spreadsheet is just a grid into which you can enter numbers, letters and formulae; and before Excel came along you would have been right. But as well as the usual stuff, which it carries out with distinction. It can make graphs, charts and add colours to spreadsheets. This is nothing special you might think, but there’s more. You can add images, organise data and even save it as a website. The other advantage of Microsoft Excel is its integration with the rest of the Office suite, and the large number of pre-programmed designs and formulae. Surely the best there is…?... Read review

Advantages: Really Easy to use and Excellent Touch Screen
Disadvantages: Batter doesn't last to long!

...This is truely an excellent Digital Camcorder, the touch screen display make setting all the features up really easy and makes them all quickly acessable. The Unit is really well made and has excellent conectivity via Firewire to your PC. The battery is not the best in the world and last a maximum of an hour and a half in normall conditions. The Camcorder has a very good loading mechanism for the Mini-DV tapes, which are quite reasonably priced in most shops and even better on-line! The DCR-PC8E is excellently laid out for all of the controls that are not provided by the touch screen and can all be used with your hand in the carrying strap. Avaliablility of accessories as with all Sony Products is excellent... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...The plot, though not bad (all you need to know is vampires), takes second place in this madcap action film. The filming and direction is excellent. The special effects are excellent. The action is excellent. The explosions are excellent. The fighting is excellent. Overall, this is a wellmade film that guarantees 100% action and 0% boring emotional scenes, which is nice once in a while. Like I said, it's about a modern vampire cult in a major American city, and Wesley Snipes plays the Vampire Killer type guy, although with a physique slightly more appropriate for fighting evil than that Buffy chick, and it's a pretty good performance. The soundtrack, full of hard techno beats, isn't bad actually and at least you actually remember it rather than with most films these days. If you enjoy action films, then this films really a must. Good... Read review

Advantages: Functionality, Ease of Use, Query capability
Disadvantages: No of rows limit

...Excel 97 is a very good product, however it does have some limitations. I use it to produce many varies types of spreadsheets including charts & graphical representations. It can handle simple and very complex spreadsheets with ease. One of it's limitation is the restriction on the number of rows that can be loaded into a single spreadsheet (as I also use the spreadsheet for data manipluation). I also use excel for it's Query capability which is very good, this allows you to retreive data from many other sources (I use ODBC to connect to other database files). I would recommend Excel 97 as the best spreadsheet on the market.... Read review

Advantages: An excellent department.
Disadvantages: None.

...Leicester University's law department is excellent - good teaching, excellent lectures (often by some quite interesting characters) and a reasonable amount of tutorials each week. You'll need plenty of money for the course books (many of which are written by people who will teach you) but most of these are available from the students in the year above you at a discounted rate. There's an excellent law society with various social events during the year, and even first years get a representative who will help put any grievances to the staff. There is an excellent law library both in the main library and the faculty, and this means that there's a good chance that the information you need will be available when you need it. All lecturers are contactable by e-mail, and there are machines available within the department. The mooting... Read review

Advantages: Professional, broad
Disadvantages: Late night Currie

...Radio 5 is ace, the mix is great, all the sport, all the news presented in a light manner. All the presenters are excellent, except the late night currie slot at the weekends and the station always has interesting features. The sport is excellent with football receiving good coverage from excellent commentators. Alan Green is excellent. In fact what more can you say except excellent. The day starts with Nicky Cambell's phone in, great to shout at the opinions voiced, then to Ian Payne, who is smooth unruffled and clearly on top of all his topics. Drive rounds up the day and then there is more sport. Current affairs, politics, entertainment its all here. If you want news, sport and company in your house during the day, tune in to 5 live....

Advantages: Relatively easy to learn the basics, allows you to manipulate data effectively, highly compatible with other software packages
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive for the average consumer

...More than just a spreadsheet! Personally I think Excel is currently the best spreadsheet around. Excel certainly dominates the market in this type of software, the next major spreadsheet used by people is Lotus 1-2-3. I have used Excel a great deal over the last 4 years. I think that almost everybody could find a use for Microsoft Excel either at work or at home to make life easier. Excel could be used by students both at school and university, to produce project work in a professional style. Microsoft Excel was a valuable tool to me when I had to do my A-Level Geography project. Microsoft Excel allowed me to get a B for my Geography project, this B on the project lifted my overall grade up to a C overall from a depressing D. Excel could also be used by Teachers and Lecturers who wish to keep track of student performance. My favourite... Read review

Advantages: Star Wars! You get to use a lightsaber!
Disadvantages: The graphics are getting on.

...The game is so excellent. There we are. That is all you need to know. The music is excellent, the gameplay is excellent, the graphics are (kinda) excellent, and the chance to use a lightsaber is excellent. From the very start, becoming a jedi to making full use of your powers, the game is absolutly entralling. The levels are excellently designed, and there is nothing like standing in front of a At-St reflecting the laser fire with your light saber. The kings of games, Lucasarts, made this game, and the game would not be complete without the excellent music, the Star Wars music, the game would only be half the game. The cd tracks, encourage you to run into a room, slashing everything in sight, and at other times will encourage you to sneak up on enemies, and knock them out silently. The graphics are getting a bit old now, but the sequal... Read review

Advantages: sharp longevity
Disadvantages: expensive

...I bought this shaver as I lost my gillete sensor Excel. On my first shave I noticed it was not as close as the Sensor Excel. However on consequent shaves I noticed that the Wilkinson Sword Diamond FX kept its shave quality and closeness where as the sensor excel was becoming blunter and blunter. This razor is excellent value for money as it keeps going and going and going and my hair is tough so it is hardworked. Where the sensor excel lasts a week,the diamond FX lasts months. The tips of the blades are diamond encrusted making the blade more resistant to blunting and breaking microscopically. On the whole the diamond FX is more expensive to buy both blades and razor itself. But when you take it account the longevity of the blades it becomes remarkably cost efficient. After a while the blades do come apart from the razor to easily... Read review
