I have to tell you, there's a lot to like. Unfortunately, there are also some things to dislike and I'll get into both of those here.First, I have to preface... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~460799708804 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:59:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_460799708804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179095703172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - At first glance, the Strobe XP100 Visioneer portable scanner looked to be the answer to my mobile scanning needs. At second glance, I was ready to send it back and now, finally, I may be starting to live with it. It seemed like everything you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179095703172 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:39:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179095703172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165836525188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - Here's a nifty unit that does exactly what it claims to. It gives wireless b/g connectivity to any computer with a free USB port. What's in the Box: The antenna (thin dark gray rectangle just under 2 1/2" x 6" x 1/2") 6 foot USB cable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165836525188 Fri, 17 Dec 2004 16:56:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165836525188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165765942916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - I'm the type of person who is on the go quite a bit. I travel and need access to the internet and to my servers. I've experimented with several mobile solutions and none has been quite been to my liking, but the TC1100 gets very close. I'm looking for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165765942916 Fri, 17 Dec 2004 03:23:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165765942916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165749493380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - First off, this is not a piece of equipment for the faint of heart, but if you are one who doesn't mind reading a manual and taking the time to experiment with the features of the recorder, I think you will be very pleased. Currently, this is one of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165749493380 Fri, 17 Dec 2004 00:23:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165749493380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141611208324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - From the looks of the reviews here, this appears to be one of those companies where you had a very good experience or a bad one. I notice that a lot of the complaints seem to deal with human support and, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I cannot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141611208324 Thu, 27 May 2004 14:00:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141611208324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141610421892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - I had the misfortune of needing to make a copy of some files from a hard drive before I sent a dead laptop back to the company for repair. Indications were that the repair could take up to three weeks and I needed a few files off of it so I could work... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141610421892 Thu, 27 May 2004 13:53:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141610421892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121652219524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - This isn't an easy review to write as I have extremely mixed feelings about this unit. It doesn't appear that many people here are impressed with the performance of the PCTV Deluxe model and, at the beginning, I wasn't either. You love it or you hate... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121652219524 Fri, 12 Dec 2003 12:58:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121652219524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121095753348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - After several months of waiting (all distributors were out of stock), I finally got my Slim Keyboard and started using it. It has some very nice qualities, as well as some drawbacks. The cover slips over a 'naked' HP5xxx or 39xx, 38xx etc Pocket... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121095753348 Sun, 7 Dec 2003 16:26:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121095753348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121059053188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router does just what it's expected to. I was able to set mine up in minutes and add security in a few more. The unit boasts a rather small footprint but serves as a router, a switch for wired devices, and an access... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121059053188 Sun, 7 Dec 2003 02:18:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121059053188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121056956036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - Let me preface this by stating that I am reviewing CDW-G here, though most of it will carry over to CDW. I have been ordering from CDW for several years now and my overall experience has been good. There have been some negative things but overall the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121056956036 Sun, 7 Dec 2003 01:31:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121056956036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121037885060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - This small (1 1/2" x 2 3/8" x 1/2" ... with 2 3/8" antenna) USB 1.1 device will give bluetooth capability to your desktop or notebook computer running Mac OS X or the later version of MS Windows (98, ME, 2000, XP etc) Note: I list "Other" in Driver... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121037885060 Sun, 7 Dec 2003 00:33:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121037885060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121026612868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - First a rundown of the major specs for this unit: 400mhz XScale Processor 128mb of RAM and 48mb of ROM 3.8 Color TFT screen SDIO Wi-Fi 802.11b and Bluetooth 5.2" x 3.3" x 0.6" 7.3 ounces Fingerprint reader IR port (not CIR) The HP comes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121026612868 Sat, 6 Dec 2003 21:37:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121026612868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_121025367684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - First a rundown of the major specs for this unit: 400mhz XScale Processor 128mb of RAM and 48mb of ROM 3.8 Color TFT screen SDIO Wi-Fi 802.11b and Bluetooth 5.2" x 3.3" x 0.6" 7.3 ounces Fingerprint reader IR port (not CIR) The only... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121025367684 Sat, 6 Dec 2003 21:15:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121025367684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_116626067076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - If you are like me, you probably have more than one type of compact memory card floating around. This small device allows you to read 8 different types (CompactFlash Type I, CompactFlash Type II, IBM MicroDrive, SecureDigital, MultiMediaCard, Smart Media... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~116626067076 Sat, 25 Oct 2003 23:06:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_116626067076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_116189728388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - I have used this card in three different settings and it is better suited for some than others. So far this card has been used as an auxiliary storage to a desktop and laptop using a USB 1.1 reader/writer, I have also used it in various PDAs and also in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~116189728388 Tue, 21 Oct 2003 18:23:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_116189728388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115712364164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - Ordered a CF GPS card and software via the website. The prices are a bit high (compared to the "bargain basement, though often less reputable" online sellers) but at least you get the items which is worth it to me. I was led somewhat astray about the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~115712364164 Thu, 16 Oct 2003 23:38:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_115712364164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_112981872260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sidraw1 - (Updated 16 October 2003) STAY AWAY. This place gets a '1' but only because that's as low as the rating system goes. I tried to place the order on the phone on 28 August but was told to do it online and call to confirm to get a free case. So I did.
