Quicken Deluxe 2012 | Intuit | Bart Koslow | 1/13/2012 | Financial | Quicken has been the quintessential personal finance program for about thirty years, and I have used it for that entire time.

Windows 7 Annoyances | O'Reilly | Bart Koslow | 9/12/2011 | Book | I have used similarly titled O'Reilly books written by David Karp for Windows XP and Vista, and found them very helpful in customizing and optimizing previous Windows versions. I was hoping that this one would provide a similar level of help. Unlike Windows books written by or for Microsoft, these books take a more critical look at Windows and make many suggestions about how to fix or supplement many Windows features that are inadequate or a problem. | www.oreilly.com |
