I like this software but am disappointed Microsoft doesn't offer the pro version as a standalone anymore. In order to get access you have to purchase the 365. I don't like that.

For centuries before man, dinosaurs ruled the world. When an asteroid wiped them from existence, it seemed they would remain fossils, never to return. Until John Hammond and his scientists found a way to return the prehistoric creatures to their former glory. Unfortunately, his dream of a dinosaur-themed amusement park experienced a bit of hiccup before it could be opened to the public. Now, his vision is a reality, and you have the opportunity to travel to Isla Nublar to enjoy an adventure millions of years in the making. Featuring the full LEGO treatment, LEGO Jurassic World brings you the dinosaurs like you've always imagined.Get ready to experience the thrills, excitement and action of Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World in full LEGO form with LEGO Jurassic World. Re-live and experience the storylines and key moments of the four films on an all-new LEGO adventure that's 65 million years in the making. Explore the expansive — and dangerous — grounds of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna, and choose from 20 dinosaurs, including Raptors, Triceratops, Compy and a T. Rex, to wreak havoc. Collect amber and experiment with DNA, just like John Hammond's scientists, to create your own original dinosaurs. Welcome to Jurassic Park.

Oh My! How Awesome!
on October 10, 2016
Posted by: Spikel
from Ohio
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am amazed how this helps my legs and feet. It relaxes me so much I am able to sleep better. I have issues with restless leg and after 20 minutes in this many times I find myself waking up with my legs still in the machine (it sits at the foot of our bed most of the time). There are many settings and they each do something different. My favorite one at night is the "relax" one (go figure). I am very happy with this item. Yes, it costs but I have already found it to be worth the cost.

Great Product and works great for me. I like the way it is built and its appearance to be very durable. The one odd thing was my wife couldn't get her 5s to charge with it. Odd. Usually the chords are backwards compatible but sometimes not forwards compatible. I would buy another one of these.

Will charging the battery before it's fully discharged affect the life of the battery?

Does it have the kind of battery with the "memory effect"?
I always fully charge the battery and discharge the battery down under 10% twice before using the charging procedure through normal use. I have seen it is good to do this and generally the battery lasts longer. It is also good to discharge the battery once a month. Although many will tell you that batteries of today don't need that, I find it does help. And, if anything, it doesn't hurt. What is cool about this laptop is after it fully charges, the charger quits charging the battery. With that said and is there for you to consider, I don't feel your question affects the battery as long as you do the initial process and discharge your battery down as close to 5%-10% once a month. That allows the battery to know what LOW is. I have been told it is not good to completely discharge a battery. Just so you know, these are all opinions. No one really knows what is best other than through experience.

Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Portable GPS: Take this portable GPS along for your next trip, so you can enjoy spoken directions that mention recognizable buildings and other landmarks to guide you. With 10 million points of interest, you'll be able to travel to a variety of locales across the U.S. and Canada.
 

How can I transfer addresses from an old Garmin to the nuvi 2597LMT?

You will want to load Garmin Express on your computer. Then make a backup of your GPS favorites to your computer. Click on your GPS icon and then click on Tools to backup your Favorites. After backing up your favorites you can disconnect the old GPS and connect your new GPS. After or before loading all the updates and such to your new GPS, you will want to Click on the icon for your new GPS, Click Tools (which is the same place you backed up your old GPS) and go down a little more and there you can select the Old GPS and load that backup of your Favorites to your new GPS.

Does this router have a firewall and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a router with a firewall?

Need a new wireless router but after researching different ones, I have so many questions, including the one above!

Also, is WPA or WPA 2 a better type of encryption?
Yes it does have a firewall. Very easy to access and utilize. You are able to block anything you wish specifically and there are categories you can block too. This is a great router. You are also able to send logs to an email to view what end users are accessing.

Is there repeater functionality on this router?

We are in a large office. Can I buy two of these and connect them to extend the network? We want to keep it all the same network.
Yes! You can setup these Routers as Repeaters. When logging on as an Administrator you can go to the Repeater section toward the bottom of the listed options. You check a checkbox and submit. The router turns into an accepting repeater. The downside of setting it up as a repeater is you cannot use the web filtering app that is on the device.
