Satire and your money don't work, January 15, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a good way to mix satire with your money. Yet, if you want real finacial information look elsewhere. If you want some simple referances this book has some redeming values. If your money is a joke to you look at this book.

Comment on Mr. Monk Goes to Group Therapy by Anonymous

Maybe the Best Monk Episode Ever, October 12, 2009

carol irvin "carol irvin" (United States) -

This review is from: Monk Season 8 (Amazon Instant Video)

As a person who has spent time in therapy, I am biased towards liking humor directed around therapy situations. Monk goes even nuttier when his HMO directs him into group therapy instead of solo therapy. To make matters worse, equally phobic Harold Cranshaw is a member of the group AND members of the group are being killed off one by one. I have rarely laughed so hard. I am going to be heartbroken when this show ends soon.

Finally, a book about cars that people can understand., September 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care (Paperback)

What a novice idea! Someone finally wrote a book that I can use in a beginning automotive class! I've taught for 30 years+ and have never seen an automotive book that doesn't intimidate students. They actually like this one and enjoy reading about cars. In my classes I usually have 20% girls. At the beginning of the year I always say things to set their minds at ease. After handing out these books, and letting the class look through them, I could see the tension and fear vanish not only from the girls, but from the guys also. I would highly recommend this book for students of automotive classes and for the novice out there!

Perfect for anyone curious about cars., July 12, 2004

Dale Wolfe (Spokane, WA USA) -

This review is from: Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care (Paperback)

I bought this book with my 16-year-old daughter in mind. Since she used half of her own hard earned money to make her first car purchase she is interested in knowing how to maintain it properly. She started asking me questions and I didn't know all the answers, so I decided to buy Auto Upkeep: Basic Car Care. I didn't want a book so mechanically complex that she wouldn't read it, so I'm glad I found this book! The pictures and illustrations are excellent. The author of Auto Upkeep simplifies complex automotive systems in a way that keeps her attention and mine. My 14-year-old son has also begun reading it!

My only regret is that I didn't buy this book before my daughter bought her car. I know it would have saved us some money. I never took "auto shop" in school, so I learned things the hard way. It's great to know that I am helping my kids learn the basics easily and early in life.

I highly recommend this book!!

Comment on Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 Document Imaging Scanner Reviews by Harrison Murchison "A sanguine hedonist"

Solidly built and fast though software is a weakness, March 14, 2009

Epson Workforce GT-S50 Review

I've been looking to move to a more paperless environment at home. It seems I get a daily deluge of mail that I have no intentions of archiving in its original form. I decided that the time is right to get a document scanner and start archiving these documents into PDF for safekeeping and retrieval.

My initial goal was to get a Fujitsu Scansnap but I was a bit put off by the fact that Fujitsu made separate scanner models for Macintosh and PC. Im on a Mac right now but I like the flexibility that PC support gives. So I decided to keep my eyes open for any other cross platform scanners and the Epson was announced shortly afterwards.

So after unpacking the Epson Workforce scanner I noticed the heft of this product. It's a sturdy peripheral and well designed in my opinion. The installation process was a bit
tedious. I had to supply my administrators password 6 times to install the various application and drivers. I do not know if Windows will have the same annoyance.

The software included for Mac is Abbyy Finereader 5 Sprint, Presto Bizcard reader, Epson Scan, Epson Event Manager. Let me be honest and frank with you. The bundled software literally looks like it comes from the 90s. Epson should have done better and partnered with better vendors. Fujitsu includes Adobe Acrobat and a superior Cardminder for business card scanning in addition to the superior scansnap manager.

The performance of this scanner is stellar. I ran a page through at 200 dpi and it felt as though it was ejected rather than fed. At higher dpi the scanner slows down a bit but its still a good performer. I've been having some issues with the deskew feature. I scanned a few small documents and they were not properly deskewed and captured slightly crooked. I looked at the driver and the deskew button was grayed out. Still haven't found out why I'll keep checking. All document scanners tend to skew the scans a bit so deskew is important if you like your documents straight.

Application support- The Epson Workforce scanner uses TWAIN (industry standard) and ISIS (higher end) drivers. I found that my Adobe Acrobat 9 easily accessed the scanner, and quickly created a searchable PDF via its OCR function. Acrobat with built in OCR and a document scanner may be all some of you need. It works very well. Other applications I tried didn't always have a TWAIN interface preferring to to use Apple's Image Capture. No worries though you can setup which folder you want to scan too and some applications will "watch" a folder for files to import. Suffice it to say you "will" get your documents into your app somehow even if you cannot scan it in natively.

Comparison. Fujitsu this year announced the new S1500/S1500m Scansnap. It is not available nor on Amazon at the time of this review but it is now on Fujitsu's website. I downloaded the data sheet and user manual for the new scanners. They are impressive. In addition to a sensor that can tell if two sheets have been fed (a feature of the Epson GT-S80 at more $$$) they also automate some of the scanning. You can toss in files of differing sizes with no problems. The biggest thing though to me is the Scanmanager software seems so much more fluid and modern to me. I also read that it may support both PC and Mac platforms in one device which was a feature I had to have. I will keep my Epson which works great yet is no frills and see if the Epson Scan software improves though I could see myself replacing this scanner with the S1500m and taking advantage of the superior Scansnap software.

The Epson GT-S50 vs the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510, April 21, 2009

W. B. Halper (Saratoga, CA) -

This review is from: Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 Document Imaging Scanner (Office Product)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

For the last year and a half, I've been using a Fujitsu S510 SnapScan page scanner, which is a natural competitor to the Epson GT-S50. So, when I was offered the chance to review the Epson, it seemed like a natural fit - somebody looking to purchase one is likely to also look at the other. (Go to Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 Sheet-fed Scanner to read that review. It was fairly far down, on page 4, when I last looked.)

Let's look at the two scanners...

First of all, both scanners are top fed and scan both sides of a page in a single pass. They are infinitely faster than the scanners built into the "all-in one" printers and suitable for high volume scanning...the Epson is rated for 1200 pages per day.

The Epson GT-S50 comes with both TWAIN and ISIS drivers, giving it with a clear advantage in interfacing with software from other companies. Almost every program that can read from a scanner uses one or the other. The ScanSnap, on the other hand, uses its own proprietary driver, which only ties into their ScanSnap Organizer program...a program that displays small images of the scanned pages. Both scanners come with OCR programs, for converting scanned images to editable text, but, with the TWAIN driver, only the Epson directly interfaces with different programs - OmniPage Pro, Textbridge, or whatever else you prefer.

The Epson driver offers more choices in output resolution. Whereas the SnapScan has four levels - Normal (150dpi), Better (200dpi), Best (300dpi) and Excellent (600dpi) - the Epson has eight levels ranging from 75 dpi up through 600 dpi. For some strange reason, neither company's software allows you to name the output file before scanning. After scanning, you'll need to manually rename each file with something recognizable. (The default date/time stamp doesn't give you any useful information if you need to find a file a month later).

The Epson ships with software for both Macintosh and Windows systems. I've tested both versions in a mixed Windows/Mac network and they both work smoothly. The Fujitsu ScanSnap, on the other hand, comes in dedicated Mac (S510m)and Windows (S510) models. I've only used the Windows version.

Both scanners are similar in their physical shape, although the Epson looks quite a bit larger...it's about 1" longer, 2" taller and an inch or two deeper than the SnapScan. It holds 75 pages in the input slot, versus 50 in the SnapScan. The Epson has a two-line display on the front. The SnapScan only has "scan" and "power" buttons. Both units are solidly built and give the feeling that they'll last for a long time...I've used my SnapScan for 30K+ pages and it's still going strong. Both units have user replaceable pads and rollers to keep them running smoothly.

How do they operate in real life? To begin my testing, I fed the same 42 page document through each scanner. The document was complex as they come, with both text and color graphics on most pages. It was also laid out to be used in a vertical flip chart (letter-size, but bound on the short edge)...from the scanner's perspective, the back-side of each page was upside down. My theory was that a scanner that could make sense out of it could handle almost anything...

The Epson scanned my test document faster than the ScanSnap, but software processing of the scanned image took longer. The ScanSnap took 3min 10sec from the start of the scan to PDF file creation, without using text recognition; the Epson took 4min 6sec. The OCR software runs in the background on the SnapScan, but runs in the foreground on the Epson. Because of this, the SnapScan can be used to scan the next document while the text is being recognized, while the Epson remains busy until it's completely finished. My test document tied up the Epson for 12min 20sec from the time that I started the scan until the OCR finished and saved the file. My computer's no slouch, but a faster computer would obviously shorten that time. If you use an outside text recognition package, you can always run it at a later time and eliminate this time waster.

The ScanSnap features automatic rotation of upside down and landscape pages. (Everything is fed in vertically on both scanners.) The Epson doesn't...you get what you feed in. In my test document, the ScanSnap flipped the upside pages right-side up. The Epson left them upside down. Even with the upside down pages, the OCR worked fine.

The Epson can handle mixed page sizes in one scan. You can drop all your receipts in and have them scanned at once. The ScanSnap needs all the pages to be the same size in each scan...a longer page is assumed to be a misfeed and aborts the scan.

The Epson has a straight through... Read more

Great Insider Information. . . Insightful!, October 18, 2010

R. Hunt -

This review is from: So You Want To Be An Insurance Agent 2nd Edition (Paperback)

I found Jeff's book to be an honest account of the dos and do nots of starting an insurance agency. While some of the good information is generic in nature, meaning applicable to starting any business, you get some great information about the insurance business in particular, such as the section on Underwriting, and even information on the competition, and I'm not sure where else you could obtain this knowledge. This kind of insider information can make or break a new business owner. If you don't want to waste time reading all sorts of books on building your agency, here you can get it all in one place and save alot of precious time in the process. I feel like the new agent can hit the ground running with confidence from day one. Thanks for this insightful account.

Real World Example.....and Tutorial!, December 15, 2010

Chris B. -

This review is from: So You Want To Be An Insurance Agent 2nd Edition (Paperback)

With all due respect, I completely disagree with the person who does not feel this book is worth it due to the fact that Jeff talks about the loan he obtained to achieve the success he has had. As a successful Insurance Broker with 10+ years in the industry this book does not do what many others do falsely and in error; present this true "entrepreneurial opportunity" as one that requires no monetary investment to succeed. The fact that Jeff does talk about acquiring that loan shows the transparency of his successful teaching and that's refreshing to me. You would also have to assume that if he was able to obtain a loan of that amount that he would have to have had an air tight business plan, a firm past financial footing, and high business acumen. In my opinion this is a person well worth learning from and I highly recommend this book.

Must buy, October 17, 2010

NCCtherapist -

This review is from: So You Want To Be An Insurance Agent 2nd Edition (Paperback)

As a career counselor therapist I greatly value this book. The reason I am writing this review is because of the unfair review written by someone else referring to the author's choice to borrow start up money. The purpose of this book is not to promote borrowing funds to start a business. I use the book to counsel clients who are considering a career change into the insurance field. It discusses important topics such as agency ownership versus being an employee, compares different company contracts, product selection, etc. Proper education and evaluation can greatly reduce career change anxiety and minimize down side risk. This book, whether you choose to borrow start-up funds or not, will give you the info needed to make a confident career choice. Since 80% of new businesses fail in two years and many borrow money to start their business it is not a "given" that this author's choice to borrow money make his success easier...only more risky! Minimize your risk if you are considering a career choice into the insurance field and read this book!
