 | Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade | |
 | "Good OS - Bad Microsoft" | 2009-10-30 |
| I have purchased 5 copies to up date my families computers. The OS it's self seems to be a fairly decent system. It has been on my Window's machines since beta testing and I like the OS. My problem is when is Microsoft going to get rid of it's cumbersome and useless activation process? On one of my computers after installing updates, my software was deactivated along with MS office. I had to call Microshaft and spend 30 minutes trying to get my OS reactivated. Microsoft needs to look at the way Apple does it. I never have the problems with Apple's software as I do with Microsoft. I should not have to call Microsoft ever time I reinstall a piece of software purchased from them. | ||
 | Blackberry Storm 9530 (Verizon) | |
 | "Good but not perfect." | 2009-09-28 |
| I have been using the Storm since Apr of 2009. It seem to work very good for me. I have not experienced all the issues that some of the other reviewers have written about. I have had maybe 2 or 3 issues with it freezing up in the almost 6 months I have had the phone. Now I will list the positives of the Storm.
Pros: 1) E-mail works great 2) Texting is nice 3) Typing on the touch screen is much better than on my iPod touch. Have not used the iPhone 4) Still camera works excellent for a phone camera 5) Video camera works great 6) Syncs with iTunes ok, also works well with my Mac 7) I have over 1200 songs on my SD card. Media player works great 8) Calendar and notes work great 9) External speaker is nice to and the sound quality is ok for a small device. 10) Alarm clock functions are great Cons: 1) It is heavy 2) During restarts it does not always find my music, requires a second restart 3) Mobile office apps have to be purchased at a steep price compared to the same apps for iPhone 4) Screen needs a lock feature so the mute button does not get pressed by cheek during calls 5) Software updates are few and far between 6) Very few decent apps for the phone 7) Time does not auto change when traveling to another time zone, my old cell phones even did that. All in all I like having the Storm. I would have gone with the iPhone but I have heard bad things about the AT&T quality and customer service. Verizon has been great and very reliable. | ||
 | Apple MacBook MB062LL/B 13.3" Laptop (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, 8x SuperDrive) White | |
| "Love it" | 2009-02-19 |
| I'll keep this short and sweet As a recent convert to the Mac I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like this little Mac. It just works and does what it is supposed to do. The only reason I have not totally switched over to Mac is, there does not seem to be a Mac version of MS Money or any nice financial software for the Mac. The only complaint is that the edges of the case are sharp and dig into my palms and wrist. I have read several complaints about this issue. That is only a minor issue. | ||

 | Apple Mac mini MA607LL/A (1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, Combo Drive) | |
| "Nice" | 2009-02-19 |
| I purchased this as a test computer so I could see if I would like and enjoy using the Mac OS. I liked the little computer so much that I don't even use my PC much any more. It has been upgraded to 2GB of RAM and a 320GB 7200 RPM hard drive. It came with OS X Tiger, but I have also installed Leopard. For a under-powered computer it is very fast. | ||
 | Olympus C-750 4MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom | |
| "Best Bang for the Buck" | 2004-11-12 |
| After 11 months of use, I like the camera better today than when I first purchased it. This thing takes great pictures. (especially after you learn how to use all the settings) At first I was disappointed with the low light focusing, but after doing some research it seems that most digital cameras suffer from the same problem. The solution with the C-750's low light focusing problem is LEARNING HOW TO USE THE MANUAL FOCUS feature, which is very easy to use.
PROS: Great pics Battery life is ok (always have charged spares) 10X zoom (be sure to use your tripod) very easy to use Great macro features CONS: I spend to much time taking pictues Cost of accesories Lack of image stabilization 1/1000 max shutter speed This is a great all around camera. I use it daily. I would buy it again or atleast the newer versions. | ||

| "The Best!!!!!!!!!!!" | 2004-08-12 |
| This has to be one of the best books ever. From the moment I started reading it, I could not put it down. I have read it atleast 3 times over the past 15 years. Loaned it to a friend and he got mad at me because he lost a lot of sleep. He finished it the first night. The second book Force of Eagles is just about as good as this one. | ||
 | Microsoft Windows XP Professional Upgrade - Windows | |
 | "Very Stable OS." | 2004-03-10 |
| Windows XP has been the best OS from Microsoft yet. It is not perfect, but it does not crash very often. I'm running XP on 3 computers that are networked. My laptops came with XP, but my desk top came with Windows 98, which was not very stable (it crashed daily). I tried using ME, but that was the worst operating system ever. Upgrading my older Compaq 667MH Celeron was very easy with XP. I downloaded a XP compatibility checker before installing XP to see what software and drivers were compatable. Downloaded the required updates and Windows XP installed very easy. XP is very easy when it comes to upgrading and installing new hardware. I highly recommend a clean installation when upgrading. Saves a lot of headaches. Also beware that a lot of software that you use with 95,98,and ME are not compatible with XP. I also recommend having atleast 256MB RAM. The reason I will not give Microsoft XP 5 Stars is that MS does not allow installation on more than one computer and having to activate the product. I'm buying the software to use as I need, not as Microsoft wants me to use it. That's like purchasing a Music CD and having to get a activation code and only being allowed to play on your home CD player. Are you listening MR. Gates???????????????????????????? | ||
 | Sony VAIO PCG-FXA47 Notebook | |
 | "Worst computer ever" | 2004-02-02 |
| If your are looking for a good used laptop..........look elsehwere. The FXA47 is loaded with software and problems and VERY POOR customer support. In the 2 years we have had it, it has stayed in the case most of the time because of lockups. I have restored it several times to original configurations with no help. Sony is clueless and wants to charge for phone supoport and has only responded to 1 of my e-mails. It seems that everytime we install software the computer wants to lock up. My Compaq 2715US works great with out any problems. I will never by another Sony product. | ||
 | Compaq Presario 2715US Notebook | |
| "Great Computer." | 2004-01-25 |
| I know this review is late and this computer is already out of date, but I have had this 2715US for 2 years and it has worked flawlessly. No problems at at. If you are looking for a good used computer this is the one to have. The dual optical drives are great. The CDRW works great. I have probably burnt 50 or more CD's. The DVD is great with very good screen resolution. We use the computer as a in car DVD player on road trips. It keeps the kids entertained. Games work great. Tomb Raider AOD has worked great, without any problems, as well as Medal of Honor. I have it networked with 2 other computers with out any problems. So far I have experienced no PIXEL BURN OUT as previously mentioned in other reviews. I have 2 other computers, a desktop P3 1.13 and a XXXX noterbook with a Athlon 1.0 GH cpu and the 2715US is a lot faster and more reliable than the other 2. My wifes prefers this computer to her XXXX laptop. The mouse works great. The speakers sound excellent comparabel with some portable boom boxes. I could go on an on. I highly recommend this computer to anyone. | ||
