Vista Rocks!

Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD

Pros: After reading all of the neg FB on this OS I almost didn't make the move. Running an Athlon AMD 64x2 4200 with 2 gig of DDR400 memory I was able to install the OS as a new install and was online with the new OS in under 45 minutes. Then went thru the next day downloading the updates. Some software is not compatible but its no problem and with only a few Google searches you can find replacement or comparable software that works with Vista. Overall its been a good experience

Cons: None.

Overall Review: just remember to run any number of the online test that are available to test your computer to see what you might lack hardware wise that would make your Vista switch less than enjoyable

Most Critical Review

Bad Customer service

Hanns-G 23.6" LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI HL249DPB
Hanns-G 23.6" LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI HL249DPB

Pros: Great looking monitor when it works

Cons: They say they have a 3 year warranty. Good luck getting them to honor it. 6 months after purchase the monitor began to display red in any picture that had black in it. I use DVI, I changed cables and even display cards and switched port with the same results. First I had the pay shipping back to them so the $20 instant savings just went out the window. I get one call asking what it was doing, after three week with no response I ask if I am ever going to see the monitor again. Right away I get an email stating after testing it for 48 hours with a VGA cable (who uses VGA) they could find nothing wrong with it. A week later I get the monitor back and within 6 hours the red is back. I even took a picture of it and attached it to the email. They stated they couldn't understand why it was doing it but they would elevate the issue higher up. They have now quit responding to my emails and I have a lousy display to show for it and I am out the money spent shipping it back.

Overall Review: I will not be buying any more Hanns-G products if this is how they honor their warranties. NEWEGG needs to look into why they are selling products from this company

Starting recording high BP readings

Omron BP654 7 Series Bluetooth Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Omron BP654 7 Series Bluetooth Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

Pros: Transfering results to an app where you can track your pressures

Overall Review: I really liked the ability of this cuff to transfer BP results to the android phone app via bluetooth . Over the last month I was getting higher than normal BP results from the monitor . I have a second BP cuff at home at would try it. Systolic readings varied 20-30 between the two cuffs as did the diastolic . I went up to our medical clinic and was getting the same or close to the same readings as the second monitor. I replaced the batteries and I was still getting the same results. I purchased this only 7 months ago

I will never buy another Uniden product again

Uniden BCD536HP Digital Mobile Scanner w/ WiFi & Backlit Keypad
Uniden BCD536HP Digital Mobile Scanner w/ WiFi & Backlit Keypad

Pros: The scanner makes for a great $500 paperweight

Cons: Where do I begin? I normally wait a few months to post an opinion on pretty much anything electronic until its had a good burn in time. Having said that , right away on the the scanners first power up the date and time wasn't correct. NO big deal, it was the first time firing it up . I change the date and time and all kind of radio chatter comes rolling through it. And that was the frequencies pre programmed into it and I can't wait to start adding a few of my own. A few days later( I work away quite a bit ) I turn it back on. Mind you there was still power to it and I turn it back on and once again the date and time have rolled back to its beginning. I start looking online and I find Uniden is having a campaign to replace defect batteries in their scanners including the BCD536HP. I contact them with my serial and model number and in about a week the return was approved to send the scanner back to correct the defect . Turn around was around two weeks for the repair to take place, I mounted the scanner back in my shack , turned it back on and I still have to reset the date and time and in about 10-15 minutes later the radio powered off and hasn't come back up since . I tested the power supply that came with and there was power to it. I even hooked up the mobile power cord to it and no joy. I started making contact with Uniden support. ( I found later that is a contradiction in terms) . After trading emails for a MONTH OR TWO someone finally makes contact with me and says to call uniden at this number to get an RMA. Awesome I finally get the scanner fixed I hope . After calling them at different times during the day for two or three weeks all I get is a message stating "You have reach Uniden support after hours " This even happened at 3:30PM CST . Now I am beginning to wonder if there a Uniden support site to contact. Over the next 2 months I have resubmitted my Customer service number by email begging for help , all I want is to get this fix. As of today I still havent heard from them and after all this I am the proud owner of a $500.00 brick I can't say enough how disappointed I am with Uniden over this ordeal and even considered filing a small claims court case on them. After all , its under warranty and the device at least worked prior to sending it in for a defect fix and Its a $500.00 item. From other complaints online I see I am not the Lone Ranger when it comes to dealing with Uniden ...

Overall Review: Other Thoughts: Do yourselfs a favor and avoid this and any other Uniden product

Logitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo For Windows, 2.4 GHz Wireless, Compact Mouse, 8 Multimedia And Shortcut Keys, For PC, Laptop - Black

Pros: The keyboard has a real good feel to it. There is no need to mash the keys like the microsoft wireless keyboard I purchased a few months back.

Cons: The mouse is real light in weight and has trouble tracking. I tried it on two different pads and the desk surface with the same results.
