    Great cast, dazzling special effects and humanity momentarily wins out over self-serving self preservation. I couldn't believe that many people could afford to pay $1,000,000,000.00 a ticket to secure a place on one of the arks!

  • Geoff Considine - Important But With Notable Limitations

    Many years ago, I read Murray's earlier controversial book, The Bell Curve. When I read Coming Apart, I was reminded of what I liked and did not like about The Bell Curve. The author is a top notch writer and weaves a great story from the enormous range of statistical studies that he draws upon. The problem that I have is that the inferences that he draws from the statistics in order to support his thesis are far too broad. The data that he pulls together are really important. They support the idea that white America has split into very different camps and he focuses on two extremes. The first of these is the Ivy League yuppie types who live in their little enclaves, totally insulated from reality. I live in one of the places that he describes and he astutely challenges his readers to examine their own positions and lifestyles and notes that probably the readers of his book are overwhelmingly in the new elite. And here we already run up on some of the limits of Murray's thesis. He asserts but in no way proves that the demographic enclaves of the white educated and professional upper middle class are made up of a homogeneous group of private-school-educated upper-middle-class elites who have never seen nor understood the world beyond theirs. The fact that most Ivy Leaguers end up in these enclaves does not mean that everyone there has the same background. There is a critical flaw in the logic. Yes, the author's caricature of well-educated well-off yuppies who are comfortably ensconced in their safe smoke-free world is entertaining and may hit a nerve or two, but the statistics are used to support the story rather than the story emerging from the statistics.

  • mamasita - Family Tree Maker

    So far so good. I am new at this and found it a little overwhelming. I got some help getting started and now find it fasinating and easy to get around. The geneology club where I live uses it and recommends it. I do too.

  • Nick F. - Terribly Buggy Software

    I downloaded this software the other day. It is absolutely atrocious. I consider myself fairly smart and can use most software. This program is full of bugs and hasn't worked properly since I set it up. I'm getting fatal errors now and the program won't even start. I've used quickbooks site and have reinstalled this program probably around 8 times now. When I went to reinstall today (because that's what intuit's support website recommended) the program won't even reinstall. This program is an absolute dud. Do not purchase and do not buy it. Use an excel spreadsheet or save your money for an accountant. This program is absolutely not worth it. I want my money back and will never use this program again.

    It's brought two marine batteries and two car batteries back from the dead! So far I am on the desulfator train! I use it mainly on my two cars that sit and don't get driven much, and every six months on my two marine batteries.

  • David Faustino - do not buy.

    Do not buy this. I had problems with it. It wouldn't take my pass word. I changed it, and the thing your product has been redeemed. This is not software. It is a gift card, with a code on the back.
