Richard J. Adams - Tale of two keyboards

Bought a couple of mechanical keyboards to replace one I work with and one on the home box. Pros and Cons for each, but the final determination was on the backlighting - I have to have backlighting on the home box as the new monitor casts a lot of glare on keycaps.

Shelley McDonald - Kaplan test prep

I think Kaplan makes wonderful study guides to help prepare people for big exams. This LSAT Premier edition has lots of practice to help you score better on the test. Assuming you've been studying for the LSAT, this Kaplan aide is a good way to enhance your knowledge. It's probably not enough to teach you all you need to know, but it represents the types of questions that will be on the test and provides test-taking strategies. There are a good number of practice questions, but I think the best part is the full practice test that simulates what you'll see on test day. I feel you can't go wrong with Kaplan; it should certainly help your score.

Gail Potter - Ok but expensive

I ordered this for my husband, and inadvertently order (2) packages. It was VERY expensive. I won't order again because my husband said that Elations was just as good.
