...i have been using this package for a shortwhile and up till now it has met my criteria of money management. many tools ranging from bill payments to bank accounts. reminders of when bills are due is also available. portfolio management is an excellent feature even so it can be time-consuming at times entering dat even for a small portfolio but still good. you can even download advice and connect to organisations like the inland revenue at the click of a mouse. if you're after a software package that is more than basic but not that complicated then this is the one for you at a reasonable price. highly recommend....

Advantages: A good back up
Disadvantages: none

...At www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, is instant online help for any queries, issues and difficulties that you may be receiving from services, retailers that is within your consumer rights. I personally had not heard of trading standards and was so afraid of it being complicated and worried that I would have hassles with solicitors, that I would always try my own methods of solving a purchase problem that is not at all satisfactory. However I assumed they might have an online service, which I found through google, which made the issue a little less daunting to deal with. The first time Courts had ripped me off. Please don't buy from them. After saving up for ages for a double bed, it was delivered but bumpy. They did send eventually after many calls and revisiting the store a person out to inspect. He saw the problem and said he would... Read review

Advantages: It's in a hot part of Spain...
Disadvantages: The entertainment is not entertaining in the right way

...We didn't have the best start at this hotel. After a 3.30am awakening and a 6.30am flight, we arrived there just gone noon Spanish time to discover out room wasn't ready. About 6 other parties were checking in with us, as we were on a package, and all their rooms were ready. Hmpf. So, we went off, found a bar and had some drinks, found the beach and had a nosy, and returned an hour later to find that this time we could check in. A mere 30 minutes later, stripped off and sun lotioned up, all was forgotten as we lay by the pool in the blazing sunshine and began two weeks of doing very little. We booked this hotel for a few reasons. We wanted to go to a properly Spanish bit of Spain, so we chose the Costa Almería. There aren't many resorts there, so we chose Roquettas de Mar as the one that sounded as if there was the most going on... Read review

Advantages: Fine for rough+ready output, good usability
Disadvantages: The price

...If you go into network explorer on my PC, and click on the file marked ‘Zoë’, you’ll immediately be transported into another world. A world of a 20 year old, several months into a year’s work placement, who doesn’t always have her mind on the job. A world of hotel bookings and half written opinions and downloaded pages from timesonline. Tucked away at the back of all this, is a little, non-descript yellow folder labeled ‘Systran’. Click on that, and you’re presented with a number of documents. “Problems, Problems, Problems” is one, “Why I hate this stupid package”, another. Sometimes the only way I can vent my frustration is through file names, and believe me, it’s nowhere near as satisfying as blowing up computers (which, for the record, I only did once, while...
