Cox Can't Handle it.

I am sure its an awesome modem. But it isn't a Cox approved modem so they would not provision it. I was told it is because their techs won't be familiar with it. What does a Cox tech know about a modem other than plug it in...call to provision? Wish we had Comcast here, Cox is irrelevant.

This was a breeze to setup, it took less than 3 minutes. In over a month of use it has not dropped once. Consistently has max bars 3 rooms from the router. This in an area where 9 other networks are 3 bars or better on signal strength.
I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this unit again.
What's great about it: Easy setup, fast connection speed, no dropouts.
What's not so great: So far nothing.

Excellent Mouse
on February 28, 2012
Posted by: roddog

This is an excellent, comfortable, wireless mouse. It is rechargeable via USB so there is no charging plate and you can still use it while it is charging. It has worked for 14 days now on a charge and is still going strong. It does have a charge indicator so you can see the charge level. Further it has the new unifying receiver so one small USB device can control up to 6 devices. I have my keyboard and mouse on the single receiver. This mouse is quite comfortable and I have found it to be precise and extrememly functional. For my hand everything is where it should be. It was a breeze to setup and I am replacing all my mice with this one and keyboards with the Logitech K800, both are fantastic.
What's great about it: Comfortable, rechargable, unifying receiver, precise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was really looking forward to this movie. Missed it in the theater, I sure wish I hadn't. It would have saved me money to find out it stunk, before dropping dime for a Blu Ray. Across the board it stunk. Even the "aliens" stunk. Save yourself money and an hour and a half of your life you can't get back...pass on this.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This raunchy release from the FX animated comedy series Archer includes all ten episodes from the show's first season, following the most cunning secret agent on Earth as he saves the world many times over and engages in rampant sexual intrigue - all while working under the direct supervision of his mother.

It's Archer, It's Hilarious
on February 28, 2012

Ignoring the "unseen" episode which is a well documented miss. This is Season 1 of Archer, a hilarious, ribald, non-PC, animated series. What can I say other than I find it so funny I purchased the DVD of a "free" show!
What's great about it: Hilarious

Customize your computer with this Logitech wireless keyboard. Laser-etched backlit keys let you work in virtually any lighting conditions, while the proximity sensors detect your hands to power on the backlights. The PerfectStroke system allows for whisper-quiet, responsive typing. Featuring a unifying receiver, this Logitech wireless keyboard lets you connect one or many mice with just one USB port.

Fantastic Keyboard
on February 28, 2012
Posted by: roddog
from NV
This backlit keyboard is a great value for the price. It is lasting well on a charge, I am at 14 days. It charges via USB and can be used while charging. Further, up to 6 of these new logitic devices can share a USB transmitter so I am using one tiny transmitter for both the keyboard and mouse. The touch of the keyboard is very nice and the backlighting comes on as your hand move over the keyboard, doesn't even require a touch...nice feature when one wishes to begin to type in a darkend environment as you don't have to touch a key like you do on my laptop. Also, this keyboard is very quiet. All in all a great purchase and I will be replacing all of my keyboards with this model and mice with the Performance Mouse MX.
What's great about it: Quiet, backlit, rechargeable, long lasting charge, useable while recharging

I knew that Zagg had restructured the design of this product, but I was really surprised when the edges didn't reach the edges of my phone when it was applied. It took me a couple weeks to go back to the packaging to find they had given me the case-friendly version. This is not what I placed my order for! Too late to return it now, as it's already on my phone. Thanks a lot Best Buy...

Why review the product as two stars if your gripe is with Best Buy?

How do you plug in a firewire card to a inspiron 1525
You have two choices.
1. use the FireWire (IEEE 1394 is the same thing) port that Dell lists as being on the machine http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/inspnnb_1525/pd.aspx?refid=inspnnb_1525&cs=22&s=dfh
FireWire devices can be daisychained, which means you plug one device into the port on your computer then the device will have 2 ports on it, one for connecting to the computer and another you can connect another device to and so on. So, you only need one FireWire port on your computer.
2. Purchase an Express Firewire card (not PCMCIA as Dell uses Express ports instead) such as this http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=277548 and plug it in!
