Getting STRONGER with each release.
With the inclusion of 'multiple projecting and internet viewing' MS has made some mojor advances. Two other needs are "Backward Pass and Multiple Resource Calendars". With these included MS Project will have achieved a "strong contender" status with some of the strongest and most expensive project management systems at a very affordable price structure.

An Improved Communications Aid
Everything the other reviewers have stated about this software is probably true. It is complex, it provides no planning phase shortcuts and you do need to activate it. Personally, I believe authors are entitled to piracy protection - and Microsoft is no exception.

Project management is inherently complex; this software reflects that fact. In practice Project Management is part science, part practice, part communication and part art form. I am convinced the pre-project planning saves countless hours of frustration during the project specification and production phases. No software will ever help with those negotiations.

However, once the project is underway, Microsoft Project proves its mettle. One of my biggest struggles with on-going projects is communication - with team members, sponsors and management. Here Microsoft Project 2000 is invaluable. It offers Project Central, a Web-based portal, which empowers team members to input their daily work time on each task, and have it automatically update Project. In the past the project manager was required to input this data.

There is a module for Earned Value calculations, which can be used to provide sponsors and management an early warning of project slippage.

My only complaint is that it is difficult to roll a sub-project up into a master-project. If anyone has a solution to this problem that carries all the data with it, e-mail it to me. I will be forever indebted to you.

Needs Patching
Helps get projects moving, a great piece of software until around the 50th time you run it when it shuts down. I cant find any patches to repair this problem.

Microsoft Licensing Problem
It's a shame Microsoft doesn't trust it's customers. This product requires one to eMail, call, or connect to Microsoft through the Internet to register. If you don't, you can't use the product after starting it 49 more times. If that's not bad enough, I wasn't able to register this product because the software key was outside the range Microsoft had in their database and because "I purchased it through an Internet store" (I purchased it from Amazon), they refused to assist me in any way. This is a new directive from Microsoft I confirmed after escillation. Apparently Microsoft doesn't trust any internet store as well as it's customers.

Hard to set up, but...
I have to agree with the other review about the difficulties to install Project 2000. In fact at my office we've yet to have it completely set up to my entire satisfaction.

However I would not give it two stars. I'd rate it three starts, because of the following:
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE:
-It allows for a very nice way to keep track of projects on a distributed environment, such as we have back at the office, where two developers (for example) work from their homes in distant cities. Project Central, the feature Project 2000 includes, which allows for a web-based project management interface is definitely the largest plus it comes bundled with.

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE:
-The way to update the original Project files by means of the web-based update is very convoluted for the project manager: it generates one individual update per project where the person reporting back is working on, which can be very cumbersome if the person works in several (3-4) activities at the same time.
-There is no way to make comments about the progress of each of the specific activities, in the form of a log, or something similar. So, an update from a person working on a project has to be coupled with a status report, which is not exactly what you'd call one of the best implemented features of Project.

However, overall, I HAVE to acknowledge that it has helped me as Project Manager to have a better tracking of projects occurring left and right. ... Read more

Product Description

If you're an electrical engineer, you probably have a little reference book that has commonly used electrical formulas in it. Imagine combining that little reference book with a specialized calculator, built to solve the specific formula that you are working on, and you've got a pretty good idea of what EECalcz is. Using EECalcz is faster, easier and reduces the chance of errors. Preference settings allow you to define default values for many of the variables used in the formulas. EECalcz has formulas for calculating the following 24 values; Kilowatts 3 Phase Kilowatts 2 Phase Kilowatts 1 Phase Kilowatts DC 3 Phase Amps for a known KW 2 Phase Amps for a known KW 1 Phase Amps for a known KW DC Amps for a known KW KVA 3 Phase KVA 2 Phase KVA 1 Phase 3 Phase Amps for a known KVA 2 Phase Amps for a known KVA 1 Phase Amps for a known KVA Horsepower 3 Phase Horsepower 2 Phase Horsepower 1 Phase Horsepower DC 3 Phase Amps for a known HP 2 Phase Amps for a known HP 1 Phase Amps for a known HP DC Amps for a known HP Wire Resistance Wire Voltage Drop The trial/demonstration version of EECalcz will allow you to load and run the program and read the documentation, but the first variable can not be adjusted and the preference settings are not saved. When you purchase the fully functional version of EECalcz, you will receive a registration code and a separate download that contains the fully functional version of the program.

Geo-Matic Triangles, one of several modular applications in the Geo-Matic For The Palm lineup, allows the quick and easy calculation of all 21 major and secondary features of any triangle given any of 19 combinations of three angles and sides as inputs. Output includes Perimeter, Area, Inscribed and Circumscribed Circle Diameter/Radius, Altitudes, Medians, and Bisectors. Enter and display angles in Decimal Degrees, Degrees-Minutes-Seconds-Decimal Seconds, Radians or Gradians and quickly convert between. Copy to Memopad feature permits an easy way to save the results of a calculation for later use or for printing from the Palm desktop. Print using PalmPrint feature allows printing directly to a supported IR-enabled printer (search for "PalmPrint" for details). Preferences are adjustable to specify number of decimal places for display of angular and linear values (0-8), default entry mode for angles (Deg/DMS/Rad/Grad), as well as the inital screen to display upon startup (the 5-day demo does not save preferences between sessions).
