The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 is the most recent version of the very popular Great Planes RealFlight Simulator. The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 version includes the ability to take off and land on water - a very enjoyable addition to the attractive water-based scenery available in the earlier Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G3.5.

Flying radio-controlled aircraft is one of those fun yet awful activities - the high of getting a great performance out of a plane or helicopter is matched by the low when your model comes down a bit harder than anticipated! The Great Planes RealFlight Simulator G4.5 was created to help RC fliers, whether beginners or world champions, to raise their flying skills to a new level without risking their prized models.

For some years I have been an enthusiastic reviewer of eBooks using almost every eReading device on the market place. So as an early-adopter of techno widgets I had been excitedly kindle reviewlooking forward to Microsoft’s zune since its first rumors. So I immediately purchased it both out of curiosity and trusting for a better “next generation” eBook resolution. In case you’re questioning whether I’m “that” Mary Gibson, I plausibly am — I’m the guy who gets Google’s first five or five sites when Googling my name.

I was determined to compose this review because it is moderately worrisome and, it seems to me, a bit below the belt for the zune’s regular review rating to be dredged so far down by zune NON-OWNERS who, guessing from their remarks, seem to be quite worried by all of the positive remarks about a device that’s expensive, monochrome, not a all-purpose purpose media player, incapable to leap tall buildings, or in some way less than they were expecting, requiring, or trusting. In contrast to non-owners, the people who in reality HAVE zune’s seem to universally love it, though with very legitimate cautions. I guess of this as “The TiVo Effect” since, for the right variety of user, the zune will be life-changing … but it for sure won’t be that for everyone. Although it took me a few hours to get completely comfortable with it, I am now addicted.

So, for what it’s worth, kindle review if this posting is noticed by any really interested pre-purchasers, I hope that the coming commentary might place the zune in “perspective” and be of some value to you.
