First swing, fouled a ball off. Second swing, yard work. This bat has a smaller sweet spot than some other manufacturers because it has a smaller barrel. However, it has got some serious pop right out of the wrapper. Hoping that the sweet spot loosens up some as the bat gets broken in, but based on the small sample size thus far it's a fantastic bat.

I've been using Smartdraw since 2012 and love it. Prior to that I'd used Graphics Designer and similar software packages and find that Smartdraw is by far user friendly with features that can be self-learned on the fly. I mainly use it for engineering work, schematics, component diagrams, layouts, and illustrations for presentations. Smartdraw accepts imported pictures and graphics to be included in a drawing which greatly facilitates its usefullness. Plus, drawings can be exported as any of the most popular formats such as .jpg, .tiff, etc. The new licensing option works great for me because when I travel I have Smartdraw on my laptop ready to go.

I ordered this for my husband because he had to learn how to do Excel at work. He said he didn't have any trouble with the book and would recommend it to everyone who needs to learn Excel for their jobs.

I got this thinking I could make it work with Windows 8.1. I was wrong. the software does not like Windows 8. Even in compatibility mode I can not make it work. This is by no means the fault of this seller. The post clearly says it is for Windows 2000, XP. So if you are buying for a Windows 7, Windows 8 machine, look elsewhere it will not work. I installed it on my machine with XP and it worked but still had some problems. Video input #2 doesn't work on the one I ordered. #1, #3, and #4 work fine though. Is it worth buying? For $6.81 it's still a bargain and worth buying.

This item was opened when I received it with the seal on top but not really sealed closed. Someone could have removed the original cream and replaced it with a cheap eye cream.
