Worth Every Dime !!!

Rosewill RK-7300 Black 105 Normal Keys 7 Function Keys USB Super Slim Unique Curved Design Multimedia Full-size Keyboard
Rosewill RK-7300 Black 105 Normal Keys 7 Function Keys USB Super Slim Unique Curved Design Multimedia Full-size Keyboard

Pros: Solidly built rugged keyboard. Curved design makes my typing easier and less prone to mistakes. Nice key feel. Heavier than my 2 previous keyboards and non slip feet hold it in one place.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Great keyboard for small amount of money. Rivals the big boys. Received it in 2 days instead of 3. I've purchased a lot of Rosewill products and have yet to be disappointed.

Most Critical Review

OKAY SUITE

Panda Security Internet Security 2009 - 3 User
Panda Security Internet Security 2009 - 3 User

Pros: Attractive box. Fast scans (at least I think its scanning)

Cons: Sub-par documentation. Invisible tech support. Too many unanswered questions.

Overall Review: Suite seems fast, but leaves you so far up in the air you might as well have wings. I have never used a suite where you first had to install it in order to download the quick start guide. The interface is clean but I have yet to see a spyware scan so Im still up in the air. It wouldnt let me install my spyware doctor (great spyware program). Very poor choice of settings. If I cant get it figured all out, it will join Bitdefender and CA in the dumpster. Dont even think of getting tech help!!!

Frustrating

HP Desktop PC Pavilion P6610F (BM417AA#ABA) AMD Athlon II X4 635 4GB DDR3 750GB HDD ATI Radeon HD 4200 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: Quiet running and very fast. Attractive case and lightweight. Decent keyboard and generic mouse.

Cons: Lot of bloatware that needs to come off. The biggest problem I had was trying to get the email (RR) to work in this thing using their Windows Live Mail. After 3 days working with RR Internet, still no proper email for either sending or receiving. Live mail is garbage. Never had a problem installing email till I bought this pig of a Windows 7. Microsoft always seems to come out with a new nightmare, rakes in the bucks and then next year a new nightmare. Taking this back today.

Overall Review: Find a good XP media center w/Outlook express.

Great Wireless G Router

Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)
Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

Pros: Ultra easy installation. Popped the cd in, followed the instructions. No problems. Went on line and adjusted my settings. Start to finish about 12 minutes.

Cons: Too soon to tell. Will update after its in use for a few months.

Overall Review: If your looking for a quick install router this is it. Later if you need DD-WRT or Tomato you can load it. I really dont need either at this time.

Nice Suite

CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009 (3-user)
CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009 (3-user)

Pros: Havent used it yet, but if its as good as the 2008 version all is well. Dont need it until Jan but couldnt resist for the low price I paid.

Cons: Cant tell.

Overall Review: I only load the antivirus, antispyware and website inspector. Never use their FW (buggy). Only load what you need and your system will not bog down.
