nice adapter

Pros: Good adapter, it has nice range, the 802.11n capability for a low price. It came with a cable long enough to put it "high" in my desk, used as a replacement of a PCI g network card that was getting low signal, now I'm getting excellent signal.
Cons: The software can easily drive you nuts. Have never been able to connect thru the it, altough is a pretty straight forward interface, but forget it, when it gives you the option of use either the Win XP Zero configuration, or the Netgear "Smart" Wizard, pick the XP Zero one up and save time and stress. By the way: you can't install the drivers alone to avoid the software it comes with, but you can plug the adapter to the computer so windows can find the drivers thru internet... so you can connect to internet???
Overall Review: Do yourself a favor: move the computer and plug it to a wired connection, plug the adapter and Windows get the drivers, and voila!!, now you'll have the adapter working without the Netgear software to worry about. PD: I did it with my laptop to see if the adapter was bad or the "Smart" Wizard was giving me headaches. With my desktop I didn't do it. my case weights over 40 lb (thermaltake V5000a)
Only problems

Pros: The card is cheap knowing that it is 1GB
Cons: I always had problems since the beginning with the format, since the first day I had problems and I had to format the card again so it could save more photos. and the last time I used it, I lost all the photos because the computer couldn't even open the folder. Pretty slow.
Overall Review: I hope I just was unlucky getting a defective one, because I read good reviews about it, and no problem like mine before.
Amazing monitor!

Pros: as of 2015, I gave my monitor to be recycled, 9 years later, after it was taking a little to turn on and had the edges burnt. It was fun, doing gaming and even some video editing on it. 4 moves and used the same cable. replaced it with a 1080 monitor which I'll be replacing soon with a 1440 monitor. I bet the latter one will be lighter than my Sceptre. I'm very happy and pleased with my purchase.
Cons: On the heavy side.
Overall Review: I know the review is 10 years late, but it brings back good memories. Thank You Newegg and Sceptre.
Great Tablet

Pros: The Toshiba Thrive is a great tablet, it has a full USB port, full HDMI and a mini USB, charges fast compared to other tablet, just over 3 hours 100%. Can change the battery.
Cons: Support from Toshiba, camera (so so quality). It took a while to get ICS in the toshiba while pretty much all the other competitors already had them, and no one was even sure it was going to be issued.... the screen quality is not very good, specially if you compare it with the Samsung couterpart.
Overall Review: Nice tablet. If you want a tablet and don't want to carry more than the necessary adapters, or if you use a lot USB flash drives, this is great. From time to time I fix computers and if I don't have my laptop when I need to download something I download it in the tablet, then put it on a USB. It supports Flash, (if you have patience, don't think that Flash is going to behave as it does on a computer)
Excellent Card reader

Pros: Excellent card reader, reads a lot of different cards, it's small.
Cons: The USB cable is short, and some times it's confusing to see where to put the card, it says that you can set the icons for each port instead of the default from windows but instructions are scarce and could not do it. just minor details, that don't affect the performance.
Very good and Quiet!

Pros: It's quiet, I bought another one that I returned because it sounded like an old refrigerator, and I'm using it in my room. This one is much more quiet, and I can sleep easier in my room with it. I read in several places that the dehumidifiers could be very noisy, specially the ones that cool down the air in the cold metal coils to condensate the water, fortunately this was made to be quiet
Cons: Unfortunately (in my opinion 'cause I live in florida), like most dehumidifiers, they heat up the air again, and that actually the air that comes out is a little bit warmer, and eventually brings up the temperature of the room, and since I'm using it in my living room, in the time to bring down the humidity from 60% to 40% @ 73F the temperature goes up between 5F and 7F depending also if I leave it on the whole time on or turn it off.
Overall Review: A 40 pint dehumidifier for a small living room of just over 10x10 feet is just too much but brings down the humidity pretty fast (like 20% in 15 minutes). I got in winter so it hasn't been used much, but still I got it because I have a collection of anime dvds boxsets in my room and clothes; I live in Florida, and my father leaves the back door to the yard open in SUMMER in the day for the dogs to come in and out whenever they want, and humidity in summer is just insane, plus the heat, so the house almost always have this bothering feeling of humid with an acutal humidity between 60% and 71% @ 78-79F. The air acconditioner, can bring down the humidity to 50% in 15 min. but with a door open the whole day is just a waste of energy and effort, so I didn't want to keep arguing, and got the dehumidifier. I'll probably get the an extension to the door for the dogs. but that's another issue.
