This item is promoted by Amazon along with the RC 930 system. Turns out, after reading some very small fine print on the package that they are completely incompatible with each other. I wasted my money and could not return because the package was opened. Buyer beware!

I waited a while to give this review, because I was hesitant to slam a product. I wanted to like the 4 GB card, but I am afraid to use it other than a back-up.
I got a 4 GB transcend card a couple days before my trip to the Boundary Waters. I needed it quickly, so I paid for the 2 day shipping with the “frustration free packaging”
Right away when I put it in my camera I noticed something I thought not quite right. The counter on my Nikon gave an estimate of 538 pictures in fine Jpeg mode. My other 4 GB card, a Promaster, gives me an estimate of 555 pictures with the same setting as Jpeg fine.
I disregarded it thinking maybe different brands give different estimates.I also figured maybe the counter just gave this card a different reading and would get about the same as my other card.
After about 200 to 300 pictures saved on the card and suddenly while shooting a sunrise (with the setting at raw) my camera wouldn’t shoot. I got the dreaded error that my camera could not read my card and that the card may be damaged. I cried and panicked for a good hour or so, because these were photos taken from about two days on a trip and I wouldn’t be able to return to those spots. I feared the worst. Fortunately someone thought to put the card in her camera. It worked, but the thumbnails looked odd for a short time. Afterwards I put the card back in my camera and it works. I don’t know how long it will work and I question the reliability. I’m keeping mostly because the plastic case holds my 2GB Promaster card. Until I can get a card reader(in hopes that will read the card if it fails), I’m retiring the card and only using it when I am about to shoot experiments or something I don’t mind losing. I suspect some kind of defect, now that even after formatting, the counter is still lower than my other card.
Because of this,I am also worried about the “frustration free” packaging. I loved the concept, but I really hope I am not getting someone’s returned product.

I am really pleased with this vacuum. It may not be fancy or have lots of bells and whistles but it gets the job done well. The sucking power is amazing. I feel like my carpet is really clean and free from pet hair. All the attachments work well and get into all the nooks and crannies of a home. I am very happy with the vacuum and the price that I paid for it. I haven’t had any problems with it and I don’t have any complaints about it at this time. I recommend it highly.

This router was easy to set up and works flawlessly with my Apple, my windows laptop, my video phone, and wii on line. We are in a small apt so I wasn’t interested in the range but more the speed and this router did not disappoint. Tiger woods runs flawlessly

I really had trouble committing to a video monitor since so many of them have such mixed reviews.
We just got ours and have had a chance to play with it and it seems to work great. The picture is good (day and night), the sound is good and no static so far. Also, the sound is super sensitive. It could hear me typing on the laptop in the next room. It hasn’t hurt our wireless internet (we have a Belkin “N” router). I really like that this is digital too.
We took it downstairs to see if it would still pick up and we initially thought it wasn’t, but realized that although the sound is sensitive, it doesn’t pick up the downstairs and we still had it on the sound activated mode. Once we turned that off it worked fine up and down.
I wish it came with a mount and we will have to figure something out to make that work, but so far that is the only problem. I hope it continues to be as good of a product as it was out of the box.
Edited with update–
My baby is now 5 months old and I love this monitor! It still works great. I prefer to keep the volume and the low default setting at night so that I don’t hear every little snort and sigh out of him, but if he wakes up or makes a loud noise, I just look over to see if he needs his mommy or not. I love using it to spy on him when he is waking up but still content. I can get a couple of extra minutes for myself and when I start to see him get upset, I can go in a scoop him up before he gets really upset. This monitor has worked great for us.

When I was done brushing my German Shepherd/Chow-Chow the pile of fur was bigger than she was. It makes it really easy to keep up with spring shedding. There is almost no fur in our house anymore, we just give her a quick brush every-other-day and it makes a huge difference.

Absolutely love this deshedding tool. It works exactly as shown and pulls more fur off than you think is possible. After using it on both our our labs, I honestly could have stuffed a small pillow! It was amazing. Even used it for our kitty.
Linksys RangePlus WIFI Wireless
This adapter comes with the standard Ralink (the chipset which is used) wireless utility rebranded as Hawking. There is a problem however, some Mac owners find that after a restart the device is no longer recognized by the utility (the utility will read “No Device!!”), and you need to remove the USB device and plug it in again. A work-around for this can be downloaded here:
http://mitglied.lycos.de/thomsmac/RT2500Replug.html
From the page:
“A solution would be a dummy driver, which occupies the stick at start-up. After a certain time the dumy driver would release the stick and simulate un- and replugging. So the original driver gets a second chance to be found. This is exactly what this driver does.”
Also, there is a package of the utility/driver that has the replug integrated, which can be found here:

(I previously was using a Linksys stick, and this utility works with the Hawking as well.)
As for the HWUG1A, its reception is just as strong as my previous adapter. The signal is slightly boosted if you use it in conjunction with the Hawking Hi-Gain 2.4 GHz Directional 7dBi Compact Antenna in problem spots, but you may not see much of an increase where there is not much interference between your router and device.
I’m not sure if there is a real difference between the HWUG1A and the HWUG1, which can be found on Amazon for a lower price. Perhaps it’s that this packaging reads “Mac compatible,” and includes a disk with the Ralink Mac utility, which can be downloaded from the Ralink site.

I won’t go into details about the product because I bought it as a gift, but I can say that buying through Amazon saved me thirty bucks. Cha-Ching!

Your pen starts moving on its own and tells you it’s God and you believe it? Are you kidding me? Gullible much?
If there is a God, then this isn’t Him. If there is a Satan, then he’s definitely a ghost author here.
Even with an open mind, this book killed more brain cells than I could afford. God already wrote a love letter that explains His heart. It runs from Genesis to Revelation. Check it out some time.
