Most Favorable Review

Perfect for the desktop

AFT Professional  Series PROGear-G5X USB 2.0 Card Reader
AFT Professional Series PROGear-G5X USB 2.0 Card Reader

Pros: If you've ever used a card reader the most frustrating part is placing the card in the reader. If the reader is too light you push it all over the desktop. This reader is made of all steel construction, its heavier, and it has a grip point on the top so that you can firmly push cards into the reader. I'm constantly photoing and cataloging images and the thought of pushing a wimpy card reader around my desktop does not appeal one bit.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Bought one for every photo workstation. They are big so no one walks off with them. :)

Most Critical Review

Don't do it! Six out of six with the same problem

CTX 17" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 12 ms D-Sub X761A
CTX 17" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 12 ms D-Sub X761A

Pros: Bright, nice color, good quality display.

Cons: I have a six of these monitors fail with the same problem. One morning I'll come in and they will be blinking on and off. That's not good. This was over a period of about 6 months. The monitors where each purchased seperately. I would say its a recall issue.

Overall Review: Good monitor, other than it starts failing about a year or less after you buy it.

Nice Mouse, Kinda...

Logitech V470 Blue 3 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth
Logitech V470 Blue 3 Buttons Tilt Wheel Cordless Laser Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth

Pros: Small, like its supposed to be. Just about comfortable. The older Logitech bluetooth laptop mouse was better. Good styling.

Cons: THE LASER IS OFFSET!!! Its not in the center of the mouse. If you use the mouse on the arm of an easy chair :) , your constantly repositioning the laser. The older Logitech bluetooth had the laser dead center of the mouse. The train button is small, and the once you press it, you have to turn the mouse over to see if it is in the right mode.

Overall Review: Currently looking for a new older Logitech bluetooth mouse.

Two Dead

CTX 17" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 12 ms D-Sub X761A
CTX 17" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 12 ms D-Sub X761A

Pros: Very bright, crisp.

Cons: I have two die with the same problem in six months. I would come one morning and the monitor would be blinking on and off. I'm thinking a power issue is in play here.

Overall Review: Nice displays, but if you want a dual screen, or more display look elsewhere. They are pretty hard to get a good color match across all the screens.
