Pros: First of all, New Egg promptly handled a return and replacement (athough they called it a "repair"). Secondly, the scanner does a nice job of 12 mounted 35mm slides at a time. It also handles photographs nicely. Magazines are awkward because the scanning table is recessed. Thirdly, it comes with quite a few film holders (four 8 3/4" 35mm strips, 12 mounted 35mm slides and 2 8 3/4" medium format strips). Fourthly, the scanning side is hermetically sealed do dust can't get in -- or out, so check very carefully when you get your scanner. Fifthly, the USB and Firewire connections are handy.

Cons: The first scanner arrived with a white speck under the scanning window. New Egg promptly replaced it. The biggest design flaw is that the scanning table is recessed. It takes an act of Congress to clean the table because of this. Epson should have made the glass flush or raised above the housing for easy cleaning. A big negative! A minor design flaw is that there are two transport locks. If either is not unlatched the software reports a communication error. Which brings me to the wounded Windoze XP software. It installs just where it wants to. It does the bare minimum to clean up dust spots and dissect or rotate images. The red-eye correction is a fuzzy, fixed diameter, dark spot that centers where you click -- not very useful. Not up to Photoshop's reputation and very off-putting. New Egg, for all its virtues, ships the doggone thing in the retail box which opened in transit! Packing costs money that you and I have to pay, but a simple strip of tape is cheap.

Overall Review: Dust is a big problem when scanning. The recessed scanning table is a huge handicap. The idiosyncratic software supplied does the bare minimum. Figure on buying your own image processing software. In a race with evolution Epson technical support gets even odds. When they say they respond to email in about a business day they mean they take at least 24 hours (no weekends or evenings). But, the responses were thoughtful and not regurgitated from the manual PDF. The scanner makes a beautiful image and the Firewire interface is fast.

Pros: nice box, looks good

Cons: Not reliable

Overall Review: Ran nicely for about two months and then starter restarting. The BIOS reloaded itself and then the thing worked for a day or so, Now it just beeps repeatedly on booting. It's probably out of warranty but we'll see.

Pros: Dropped right into a ProLiant DL360 G4P server. Within seconds we were installing the latest CentOS.

Cons: I don't think this seller has any more...

Overall Review: What's important is that this seller didn't just dump a product number out there, The seller took the time to describe it in a way that made it easy for the buyer. Kudos!

Pros: Connects easily as a basic DHCP router using defaults

Cons: Unsupported by Cisco unless the customer is willing to pay. Repeated inquiries about setting up a VPN with a Dynamic DNS other than by using Cisco partners who charge a monthly fee are met with instructions to buy support. Repeated attempts to sign up for a user account are ignored (no response appears to have been sent to confirm enrollment). Links to "downloadable" CISCO client software from the HTTP user interface in the router are bad. When brought to Cisco's attention their response is instructions to buy Cisco support. As noted elsewhere in these reviews the firmware absolutely positively must be updated before attempting to install the router.. Even after updating the firmware the internal HTML user interface contains bad links to the Cisco client VPN software. When the bad links are brought to Cisco's attention their reply is to request that you pay for technical support to resolve their firmware's bad links. Setting up a VPN behind a DSL or cable modem where the ISP IP may change from time to time appears impossible unless you either pay Cisco for technical support or pay Cisco "partners" a monthly fee for the same Dynamic Name Server service available, and working, at your own name servers.

Overall Review: Cisco seems to be redefining "hubris" with this premium priced product. The features that sort of work "out of the box" do not distinguish it from other vendor's $30 routers. Physically this router feels solid and likely to outlast the $30 alternatives. Considering how fast technology changes it doesn't make much sense to spend 5 times as much. Three years from now you will have to cope with new technologies and the Cisco RV-320 will still be an obscure, obsolete, and possibly still unsupported, robustly constructed door stop.

Pros: Well made and a good fit Fits Dewalt rubber key tethers well. Thank you Vermont American for publishing at least the pilot diameter.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Why is it that vendors think all people buying hardware need is a picture? Vermont American at least published the pilot diameter, but why not a dimensioned drawing?

Pros: This family of switches just plain works. I now have three of them as the DLink and other switches die off. Solid metal boxes with indicators and sockets on one side and power on the other. Can be wall mounted.

Cons: None

Overall Review: No exotic power supplies. Browser based control software is required. The control software is nothing special but it eventually lets you dial in the features you need. In my case to tap in a monitor for packet analysis.
