Customer Review: Just very ok
This DustBuster is just very ok. The power is ok, seems like it makes a lot of noise and it sucks up good when it’s the right angle. Also, I wish the cover to keep the dirt wasn’t see-through. It’s a little gross to see all the dirt, etc in there. Bleh. Also, I saw the same exact thing at a retail store for half the price (no, it was not on sale!). That disappointed me because I always thought Amazon had the best prices. All in all, it’s just ok.

Customer Review: Great Tool!
This is a great hand vac. I absolutely love it. It has made tidying up a breeze.

Zap!Chess
Zap!Chess is the commercial version of Zappa, the 2005 World Computer Chess Champion. The DVD contains two versions: Paderborn and Reykjavik. Reyjavik is the version that won the World Championship; Paderborn includes some ideas from my work at Illinois. I myself do not know which one is better; youll have to find that out for yourself. The style of the program reflects my background as a computer engineer. Rather than developing clever search tricks that may or may not work, I concentrated on getting the most out of modern hardware. Zap!Chess contains one of the best parallel implementations in the world to run efficiently on multiple CPU systems, and it also uses 64-bit machines to their full potential. The program contains large amounts of chess knowledge, and like most modern programs it is tuned fairly aggressively it knows where the opponents king lives. This gives it an exciting style without being unsound.

Customer Review: Buy Fritz 9 or Hiarcs 10 instead
Zap!Chess is an engine that uses the same GUI as Fritz 9 and Hiarcs 10 and, like them, has the million game database, the free one-year subscription to Playchess (to play chess on the Internet), training functions plus a host of other useful features. BUT so do Fritz 9 and Hiarcs 10 and they have infinitely stronger engines and are much more useful for analysis. Zap!Chess won the world computer championship last year under the name Zappa(though it will certainly not win this year) but it was a multi-processor version on much the most powerful computer in the tournament. Anthony Cozzie, the author of Zap!Chess, deserves credit for taking a very average program and getting it to run very fast and efficient searches on a powerful computer, but the fact is that the engine offered for sale here is very average indeed on an ordinary PC. It is in ninth place in the respected CSS rating list for chess programs - a long way behind other ChessBase engines such as the splendid Fritz and Hiarcs in strength of play and more than 200 Elo points behind the top engine. It is equally far behind as a tool for analysing games. So if you do not own a ChessBase program go out and buy either Fritz 9 or Hiarcs 10 - or both. If you possess one of these programs then you can download various UCI engines from the Internet and use in the Fritz/Hiarcs interface. These include Rybka 1.0 beta, Toga 1.2 beta 2a and Spike 1.1, all of which are stronger than Zap!Chess are are free! ChessBase produces a large range of wonderful chess programs, which can be highly recommended, but Zap!Chess is not one of them. An added comment on 6 July: tests have shown that Zap!Chess is strong on two CPU machines and very strong on 4 CPU systems. For the growing number of people with dual-core computers then Zap!Chess is certainly a suitable choice.

The Chess Story Box 2: 1957-1964 (5 CD set)
As the mid-Fifties ratcheted up into full gear, so did rock ‘n’ roll. As had been true with urban blues, Chess Records was right at the head of the list when it came to embracing the new sounds sweeping America. Not only did they have their blues stable pumping out the hits, they also signed such doo-wop luminaries as the Moonglows and the Monotones, and their young rock roster included both Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. This second five-CD box set (of three) covers the decade between 1957 and 1964, and includes such indispensable tunes as Little Red Rooster, Book Of Love, Roll Over Beethoven, Blue Velvet, Sweet Little Sixteen, and so much more! With notes by Colin Escott and mastering by Erick Labson, this set is a must-have for rock and blues fans alike.
