Great Detector

Pros: Simple to use, highly effective, great to use with LIVE to warn you of those invidious photo radar traps that are there ONLY to steal YOUR money and are calibrated by GREEDY politicians to extract more money from you. Not only do I have this one, I have the MAX 2 for my Porsche. This one is in my day to day Audi which is mostly city driving.
Cons: you need to purchase extra cord to hook up to Live reports.
Overall Review: unlike the person above who must ride a bike to work through 2 feet of snow, I drive my 19mpg gas guzzling 911 Porsche right past him with ease. This is NOT a product to "break" the law, but rather a product to remind you of your speed, and fight back against growing government control and big brother watching your every move as if you are a ROBOT to kneel before the alter of government ready and willing to take every dime you have. Most Radar traps especially Photo Radar are there ONLY to take your money. It is well documented that increasing the time on the YELLOW while holding the RED on the opposing traffic would eliminate red light runners. Instead municipalities have no real interest in this, they use this as a method to take YOUR money.
Catastrophe

Pros: Looks pretty
Cons: 1) confusing, 2) LEAST intuitive application I've come across in 2 decades 3) NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MS OFFICE apps 2007 & down!! 4) Full of GARBAGE business people DONT NEED! 5) Best ANTI productivity app that MS has developed yet 6) Can DOWNGRADE ONLY if you got 8 PRO on new PC
Overall Review: I really really wonder how MS is going to extricate themselves from this fiasco! I was so disturbed by my experience that I did research and found that the market share is HALF what VISTA was this point in release. That says a LOT! As a business person this is laden with tons of non productive items that you would never want on your machine. Ohh sure...the critics say..hey download or buy this app or utility and it removes this or that, or gives you a start button. REDICULOUS! Win 7 was a great Operating system....very productive....I'm going back to 7 and XP pro, and hope that MS comes to their senses otherwise I will look at other OS's.
Works great but with one negative surprise!

Pros: For the price its simply amazing, worked great
Cons: Only comes with ONE mini Display port cable. You will need to buy additional cables (ACTIVE) for every extra monitor you want to use.
Overall Review: I needed to push as many monitors as possible for max productivity. I went from 4 monitors then adding this card took it 7 monitors. Cant seem to add any more, but I probably could if I eliminated one of my other graphic cards. WARNING for anyone using ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. ADOBE will NOT run after you add the 5th monitor. After you do this, PHOTOSHOP will NO LONGER LOAD! I looked into this, and found out that ADOBE only supports up to 4 monitors. To get around this, I installed a second PC on my desk and run 2 monitors and dedicate the PC to my graphics workflow. So now I have 7 monitors using this card for working and 3 monitors on my extra PC for Graphics only. It took a little getting used to the two keyboards, but the data is shared on a map network drive and now works well, but it would have been nicer if ADOBE supported extra monitors.
Perfect in every respect, vendor highly recommended

Pros: Excellent monitor, excellent condition and worked right out of the box. No pixels out. The monitor was packaged VERY CAREFULLY and I want to give a shout out to this vendor. As a small business owner myself, I know how much work it takes to go above and beyond, especially in this competitive world. They did an outstanding job to ensure this would arrive in good shape, far better than many other transactions I've had with other vendors. Would not hesitate to buy from them again.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Just note that your will need a power cord, perfect "utility" monitor.
great value for decent tripod

Pros: price, construction, light, ease of use
Cons: Head is a little wobbly but for the price no complaints. Fluid head motion is decent.
Overall Review: I have a Canon 7D with a lot of optional stuff mounted on it, and it works great in a static environment where you are shooting at a fixed area or panning minimal. Would not use it for active video shooting. For the money I am very happy. Item was shipped fast and arrived good condition.
Finally a great printer from HP again

Pros: price, quality of printing, overall cost of operation and easy functionality. Very easy to use....so easy with the LCD screen that I bought one for my 75 year old mom to use and she fax's and scans all the time!
Cons: Cant think of any major ones
Overall Review: Fist purchase one about 2 years ago. So impressed that we bought a second, then a third then a forth as we grew. I am a tech former tech professional who left a big company and started my own business. HP had gone way downhill for a few years, producing nothing but junk, but they seem to have caught their second wind now and their product line is almost back to their high quality. We use this thing for EVERYTHING....printing labels for products, scanning paper work to jpg and pdfs right onto our network or into an email or workstation, printing from our phones, OCR, copying, making color presentations EVERYTHING. 3 are connected by CAT 5 and the other via wireless. No problems ever...works flawlessly. I dont find it expensive with the HP cartridges, dont like buying generic because they usually leak or are just cheap period. Just watch for sales and you will never complain about the price. Love it..do not hesitate to buy one.
