5.0 out of 5 stars Machinery's Handbook Edition 27, July 26, 2005

This review is from: Machinery's Handbook 27th Edition Set--Larger Print Edition & CD (Machinery's Handbook (Large Print W/CD)) (Hardcover)

This book is the industry standard for engineering and manufacturing data and calculations. The included CD allows the entire book (plus extras not in the book) to be viewed with Adobe Acrobat from a computer. Unfortunately, it can only be run from one computer at a time due to the online registration process. They were kind enough to give me another code so I could also run it from my laptop. Definately a must for geeky mechanical engineers and the like.

1.0 out of 5 stars this sucks, July 21, 2006

This review is from: Machinery's Handbook 27th Edition CD (Machinery's Handbook (CD-ROM)) (CD-ROM)

I have been very disappointed with the Machinery's Handbook CD that I received about 4 weeks ago. Could never get it to open. I reinstalled it several times along with the agony of reinstalling adobe 7.0.8 along with the plug-in. Very frustrating and annoying that your program is wound up so tight for security, I guess, that you can't even open it up. I finally called your number for technical help and the recorder was full and wouldn't accept another call. What does that tell you???????????? T talked to one of your customer reps. and he tried to blame it on adobe. I don't have any problems with abobe with any other programs that it opens. Yours it toooooooo secure for it's own good and a piece of junk. I followed his instructions by down-loading a plug-in from the Industrial Press home page. It still wouldn't work. It shuts down and goes right to the desktop when I try to open it. The CD is now long gone in the dumpster and I'm so mad, I don't even want a refund.
Another guy in our engineering office also can't open the same program and feels the same way I do. Your Associate H.N. could not help him with 3 attempts. That sucks!!!! I'll try and spread the word about your product and believe me, I won't be buying any more of your products from the catalog that came witht the CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars the MH cd and adobe, September 9, 2005

The book is of course excellent. However the cd is anoying because the authors somehow did not make it upwardly compatable with the newest version of adobe reader (7.x). Therefore one needs to remove the latest version of adobe reader and install version 6.x . The two versions of adobe reader are not allowed to exist on a windows system at the same time.
