Not a simple plug and play
Pros: I got a mobo that did not have a parallel port on it, so I needed a cheap alternative. I saw other people mention the difficulty but decided to take the chance. I got mine working but none of the drivers on the cd worked. I got it to work with standard drivers from XP, also I had to change the LPT3 setting to LPT1
Cons: Takes some time to get to work, but over all about 30 minutes or less, not plug and play though.
BISSELL 25A3 ProHeat Upright Deep Cleaner Black - Retail
Pros: Has rotating brushes with heater line for water/soap solution. Seems to do a good job getting most the water back up and carpet dries quickly.
Cons: Very, very smaller container that doubles as the clean solution and dirt water tank, think of a tank in a tank, and you get the idea. Dunno if it even holds a gallon so it needs to be emptied all the time. I do not think it does a better than average job at getting the stains out. Now when this is used in combination with water only and LA's Totally Awesome, clean up is very good. Only one stubborn red stain that didn't come up all the way. All in all the frequency of having to empty the container and other minor items make me rate it average.
Overall Review: I used this for spot cleaning in bank trash out that I do, so it serves it purpose with me.
Junk memory for Gigabyte Aurous 690 Master Motherboard, will not boot!
Pros: None
Cons: Very temperamental memory. Could not get it stable in any form.
Overall Review: I would not recommend this.
Lots of screen flickering from both this one and the 3060TI I got from Asus
Pros: none if the screen flickers
Cons: flicker is spontaneous but occurs often enough
Overall Review: Asus could do a lot better, this card is mediocre.
Star Trek Online
Pros: This really is the true Star Trek Experiance! The options are limitless in the missions and people you meet. You can play as several races and work towards missions that allow you to grow in the ranks and command higher ranked ships. Visit all the worlds from across the Star Trek genre and explore systems that are yet to be charted.
Cons: If you don't play often, the patches can take some time to load and install. Also, it does take a certain level of play to reach the ranks that you can own a Enterprise D or better. But they reward you for playing and doing missions which it should be!
Overall Review: To the reviewer of the game before me, it's obvious the game was not meant to be for you. The maker's of this game are constantly updating content, adding missions and new devices and ships. I paid for the lifetime subscription because I did not want to pay per month and figured I would play a few months and the servers would go dead, but I have been playing for a little over a year and it has not been a disappointment. You get alot for what you pay for and they offer alot of free weekends for those that do not play alot or want to pay. Overall, it is one of the best online communities that I have ever seen with alot of missions that are fun to play. Would highly reccomend!
SanDisk Ultra 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model SDSDRH032GA11
Pros: This was my second attempt at getting a SDHC card for my Canon EOS Rebel T1i. The first one was the Patriot LX 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model PSF32GSDHC10. The camera had trouble reading the SDHC and would sometimes take the pictures and sometimes would not. I kept getting lots of errors on the camera with this card not being able to read it and had trouble with my card readers so I RMA'd it with this one. I couldn't be happier. I saw where some other Rebel T1i owner had this and was happy. I recently went to an Owl City concert and was able to get close to 20mintues of 1080P video before the camera was showing the card temp to spike. I adjusted by cutting off recording to 8 - 10 minute segments and it worked great.
Cons: I was hoping that you could take 1080P video the whole time memory was available, but the camera or the card started to heat up. I was able to compensate by recording segments in shorter intervals which I can stitch the video together so it's not a big deal.
Great Deal on a Recertified Unit.
Got the monitor for work. Hardly a search on it, in like new condition, no dead pixels. Exactly what I needed.
