Boston Acoustics Receptor HD Clock Radio (Platinum)This radio does nothing well. It has trouble receiving local and HD stations, so that the sound goes in and out constantly. It has far too much bass (which cannot be adjusted)so that it is almost useless as a radio unless you are listening to something that is all about the bass line. And it doesn't always work - sometimes it turns itself off without warning (no, I am not setting it to sleep mode by accident), and loses the presets regularly. I highly recommend you stay away from this overpriced, very disappointing radio. I will certainly never buy another BA product after this experience.

Having seen this radio advertised in so many places, I was excited about trying it. However, I am very disappointed and will be taking it back to the store today. The reception is horrible, there is no seek option, you cannot change the amount of base (which is too much for me), it requires AC power, and it is way overpriced. The little wire antenna it comes with is laughably bad for such an expensive unit. Honestly, my 20 dollar boombox can get way more stations. one HD signal I was able to pick up kept going in and out every two seconds, and what I heard wasn't worth it anyway. Maybe this technology will get better in the future, but it is clearly not yet ready for prime time.

A little pricey. I didn't pay that much for it when it first came out. Received it in less time than estimated.

This book gives the basics but little more. What rates it a one star, however, is the inane writing. The descriptions of the AppleScript functions are flat and uninteresting, and the book itself is poorly organized and bears no trace of even the most minor editing. Even worse, the author has this infuriating habit of inserting feeble little jokes at the start of almost every paragraph. It makes for some of the worst writing I have ever encountered. If you're looking for a serious discussion of AppleScript, do yourself a favor and invest in Danny Goodman's far superior AppleScript handbook.

If this book is for dummies then I must be an idiot. There are major gaps in the logic and it assumes that you have done lots of programming before getting this book.Don't waste your money

I found the author spent too much time trying to be cute. The topics in the book seem to jump around rather than flow from one to another. After reading the book, and working with AppleScript I do not feel I am any further ahead. If you want to do something productive with AppleScript I would look into another book.
