Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Operating Systems
from: Apple

June 12, 2007
Like Tiger before it, Leopard is worth every penny. Time machine works seamlessly (if you don't make the same mistake I did and use a LaCie drive for backup - it will fail sooner rather than later). Most new features are excellent. Unfortunately, the new X11 that ships with Leopard is badly messed up (at least when I installed it a while ago). Luckily, you can download the latest build from http://xquartz.macosforge.org is you need to use X11 professionally. Overall, Leopard is great and worth the upgrade!

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition FULL VERSION with SP2

Thank goodness someone still had this item. I bought it because I do not like Vista. My computer crashed and lost everything. Had to start over.
This was very easy to install and works like a charm. No problems at all. I would do it all over again in a minute if I had to.

I see lots of complaints on these and other boards. I have used this service since it's inception. Sure there are some bugs and annoyances. But it does the basic job.

I have two desktops, one laptop and an ipod touch all synced with MobileMe. (Though I do hate that name.) Any change on any one device automatically gets sent to all other devices.

Apple Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard [5-User Family Pack]

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Operating Systems
from: Apple Computer

October 26, 2007
I like the Leopard, and I have shared it with family members who also have a MAC. They agree that it is easy to use. The only thing I had to do...that I'm aware of ... is update RealPlayer. But that was very easy. This has some interesting ways of reminding me of things, and there are still some things I can't find. But I'm a slow learner, and I have to get with my "tutor" to be able to upgrade my brain. But so far, I have not found anything I don't like about it.

Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Operating Systems
from: Microsoft Software

March 19, 2008
Vista is leaps and bounds over XP. From its increased security, faster start-up times and faster intall times.

I have been dealing with it since Beta 1 and have had zero issues. My machine is used for everything from gaming to development to multi-media. Vista performs as well as, or in some cases better than XP.

I generally recommend that people upgrade to Vista.

With any product, there are of course some downfalls. Some of Vista's include:

Increased resources - although this doesn't come as surprise, as every version has demanded more, I think Vista's resources came as a bit of a shock. It generally runs well, even on slightly low end hardware, I do not recommend anything less than 1GB of RAM, preferably 2GB. ... Read More:

Mobile me Rocks. Although most of what I wanted to do I could have done with a single unit, I used the family pack to give one to my brother and one to my sister to use in their families. The sharing of the calendar and contacts is great within the family. And since we all use different computers some apple some dell it makes them all share this stuff together. Its just what we needed.

Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 UPGRADE

from: Microsoft Software

January 30, 2007

This is a typical Microsoft product loaded with stuff that 98% of people don't want, need, or use. I prefer Word 2000 but you can't buy it any more. I had to buy this to put on a new computer which is the only reason I bought it. Also, the Amazon price was the cheapest I found.

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2B for System Builders [OLD VERSION]

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Operating Systems
from: Microsoft Software


A lot of people have said "I don't know what's the difference between this and the full (retail) version." Allow me:

1- This is about half the $$.

2- If you get the full (more expensive version) and the PC (or its motherboard) dies, or you just want to replace (upgrade) it, you can move the (expensive) copy of XP to the new machine. You are NOT allowed to do that with this cheaper copy. It is "tied" to one PC (or one motherboard, depending).

3- This is XP Home. Compared to XP Pro, Home doesn't have the Encryption File System, Group Policies, Remote Desktop (server), Dynamic Disk support, Disk Manager, IIS (bad web server), Active Directory, Domain Login, Roaming Profiles, and only supports simplified (network) file security and not ...
