I am downloading FIX-IT 8 professional as I type!! It is a slow download on my antique computer but I am having problems with viruses and such so I hope this will be just what I need.

Bumping up for the morning crowd!! I'll throw in my 2 cents that I love making my own ringtones. :) I have them customized to different family members and friends. My kids get such a kick out of hearing "The Chicken Dance" when their Aunt Kelly calls!

I just ordered:

Kids Spanish. Cameron is fascinated wtih Spanish right now so I figure we'll encourage that this summer and see how it goes.

They have some great prices. I think I may go back and order the 3rd grade game they have for her to mess with this summer too.

Lucky news! Out of the blue, Avantquest just put out a 50% off one item coupon. They redesigned their website and wanted to celebrate. :) I just added the coupon to SR.

downloaded the free trial of the system suite8. I d/led it as soon as i saw the contest up but I wanted a chance to try it out before I posted to here so I could give some feedback. I love that it has SO many options for security on it. It does in one program what all 3 of my other programs do (ccleaner, avg and spybot) I love that each thing you run gives you a report that can be printed in case you need to get out of it to go look for something on the hard drive. Each thing also gives the option to fix the problem. I love that you can also go in and...oh crap i cant think of the word but, it is where it moves files so that the free space in between is removed and gives more free space on computer. I didn't like that it made the start up of my computer take about 3-5 minutes longer. Each time i started up it had to initialize the firewall and that took a long time. i didn't like that I didn't have an option to just turn it off. I would have to go in and change the settings on everything instead of turning it off to do something. I don't know how it would affect my ability to recieve credits since it seems like a pretty tight security system so I would have liked to be able to turn it off to do offers and then turn it back on to surf. I am still playing with it to decide if I want to purchase it but there are more positives than negatives right now. Does anyone use this already and know if it affects credits?

Aww man. If I would have just waited a little longer to order. :) Oh well, I'll probably use it in the morning to go ahead and order the 3rd grade program too. :rotfl:

I just placed an order for Scrapbook Factory Deluxe. I was just pricing this at different places last week but didn't think to check Avanquest. This special came at just the right time! :sunshine2:

I just bought the 3rd grade software for my daughter to use over the summer! She loves any excuse to use the computer (and we have to limit the Webkinz time!!) so this will be perfect for her!

Ooh!! They have PhotoImpact? I didn't notice that. Did you use the 50% off coupon? How much did it end up being? I would LOVE to upgrade my PhotoImpact.

I'm off to check it out....

Purchased the PhotoImpact.

You guys are such bad influences on my wallet. :rotfl: I just went in and ordered PhotoImpact with the 50% off code. Couldn't resist at that price and considering I looked and my version is 3 versions old...:rotfl:

Tricia, when should we expect these credits to start showing? Just curious since I've not ordered with them before - no hurry. Someone in chat mentioned their credit or I wouldn't have even thought of it yet. :)

Cameron's Spanish software arrived today. Looks good. As soon as we get back from her softball game, she's going to give it a try. That's super fast shipping!! Now I'm anxious to get my photoimpact.
