Customer Review: You Got a Friend . . .
I love this product. The bottom line is that I've been using this product since version 1 and would now be lost without it. The learning curve is short and the product's interface is intuitive and easy to use. If I'm away from the program for weeks or even months at a time, I have no problem picking up where I left off. Compared to some notation software I've used in the past, this product is a blessing. Lyricist is not notation software so if you're looking to notate your songs, again, this product isn't for you, however, if you're like me - a songwriter who just needs to chord chart songs and arrangements, polish off lyrics and rhymes, archive the song for later use, and then go off to develop another song idea, then this product was made for you. Lennon and McCartney probably would have loved this tool since they, like many songwriters out there work the same way. On the other hand, if you are one of those people who are looking for a product that writes the song for you, then Lyricist is not for you. Lyricist let's you write songs using your own methods, and, for me, for the last 35 years, that's using a guitar and/or keboard armed with a pen and paper. In a songwriting session, I'll usually come up with an idea and develop it. If it starts to work, I might write a verse or two, a chorus, bridge, mark it up with some chord symbols, and rough out an arrangement. By the end of the session, I'll usually have a few pieces of paper with lots of scribble, but, somewhere in that scrible is the next mega Billboard hit. This is where Lyricist shines. When the session ends, at my leisure, I'll take my idea from paper and type it into Lyricist. Lyricist really is a songwriter's wordprocessor with all the features you'd expect, copy/paste, speller, thesaurus, rhyming dictionary, chord wizards, and automated transposition. In the end, you might even want to convert your arrangement to the Nashville Number System, and the Lyricist Transposition feature does that in a breeze. Usually within an hour, I have some very neat polished lyrics, a song chordchart and arrangement in the desired key, and a printout of the song. At this time, I'm ready to go on to the next idea or keep working on the existing song. Either way, I'm secure in knowing that Lyricist has catagorized and archived my compositions in a safe secure database located on my PC. Hey, I'm not saying that Lyricist couldn't be improved. Personally, I'd like to see support for bass notes over chords and support for alternate tunings, but, I can still do 90% of my songs using the current Lrycist featureset. To my good fortune, VSS has promised to include the above features in V4, so, after that's done, I don't think I'll have anything to complain about. I can't thank VSS enough for giving me the best friend a songwriter could ever have. I love this product. Paul Olito Walrus Business Group walrus44@vsplanet.com

You may have heard about products that help you maintain your privacy when you are online, but you may have wondered if you actually had a need for them. Well, I am about to share with you why I believe everyone should download privacy software.

Everyone has something on their computer that they do not want other people to see. Maybe you have some old financial records on there. Or maybe you visited a site you would rather not have people find out about. Or maybe there are pictures on your computer that could get you in trouble, whether it's with your boss, your significant other, or anyone else, for that matter.

Right about now, you might be thinking "but why do I need to download privacy software to get rid of this stuff? I can just send these files to the recycle bin, or clear out my internet history, and everything will be fine!" Well, I am afraid to tell you that everything will NOT be fine. Why? Because traces of this information gets left behind, no matter what you end up doing to try and get rid of it.

Fortunately, there is an easy solution, and that is to download privacy software. When you do this, it will perform a FREE SCAN of all of the files that are tucked away on your PC. You will then be able to pick the information that you would like to see destroyed forever. Your program will do this very quickly.
