Most Favorable Review

Good product

Symantec Norton Partition Magic 8.0
Symantec Norton Partition Magic 8.0

Pros: Norton has managed to keep the product the same and not add in "additional" features that turn out to be useless. Product does a good job of allowing you to resize/create/delete partitions at will

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Struck out twice

LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server
LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server

Pros: Sleek design, nice feature set and built in media server.

Cons: Picked up two of these and they both did not work. I spent the better part of a Sunday trying to get the wireless to work but no luck. Not sure what the issue was but I replaced the Linksys with the NETGEAR WNDR3700 and I had it configured, up and running in less than 30 mins.

Nice Router

NETGEAR WNDR3700-100NAS V.5 Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router/ USB port Rangemax 2.4/5 GHz Simultaneous N600 Dual Band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
NETGEAR WNDR3700-100NAS V.5 Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router/ USB port Rangemax 2.4/5 GHz Simultaneous N600 Dual Band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Dual Band, media server, easily configurable. Fairly solid, with only a couple of reboots due to wireless not working. Steady for the most part.

Cons: Range is not that great. I had to use an access point to reach the furthest point of my house (90 feet in length). Not a big deal since wireless devices grab the strongest signal.

Overall Review: I use MAC filtering. When saving, the router has to reboot after each entry which is silly. the Linksys allows multiple entries before saving.

No muss no fuss

SONY USB 2.0 External DVD Burner Model VRDVC10
SONY USB 2.0 External DVD Burner Model VRDVC10

Comments: This external burner is very handy. I use it to transfer DVR recorded programming to CD for long term storage. The price may be a little high, but the protablility and functionality this device gives, it was worth it to me.
