Great little camera!

Canon PowerShot A480 Blue 10.0 MP 3.3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Canon PowerShot A480 Blue 10.0 MP 3.3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: I have several digital camera including some nice DSLR's. For what you are paying, this is a nice little camera. It's reasonably easy to learn and operate, and since Canon seems to be selling the best pocket cameras these days, it might be hard to find better for less. Egg Head's price was right too.

Cons: None.

Most Critical Review

Keyboard works

Verbatim  96665  USB  Wireless  Ergonomic Multimedia Keyboard and Mouse
Verbatim 96665 USB Wireless Ergonomic Multimedia Keyboard and Mouse

Pros: When you are buying a package and a part of it fails before the first set of batteries go bad, I am not sure you can really say there is a pro.

Cons: Mouse batteries out lasted the mouse. The mouse will no longer connect and function.

Not backward compatable + DOA

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4

Pros: Good price, if in need of new memory and are buying all the memory you will ever want in your computer, it's a deal.

Cons: Apparently not backward compatable with all motherboards. These days motherboards memory managers are not as robust as they once were, so upgrading can be a challance, you cannot always stick in just any memory. This problem can usually be averted by using memory from the same manufacturer, though it seems Corsair to keep their memory compatable. They say it is, till you buy it, then they blame the motherboard.

Overall Review: What can you say about a company who tells you in advance that the new part will work with the old part, given all the correct specs. then it does not? Why would one ask, because one knows enough to know it is an issue with their motherboard of course! One's asking should be all the tell they need, not to mention that they darn well know, as do I, that this is has become a very common problem with MANY boards these days, not just off brand motherboards! I am more than a little disappointed. At least 3 of 4 gigs (I did not try 1 stick, only pairs) arrived DOA as well, but NewEgg was great about replacing it.
