Great idea but needs to have higher resolution

This is a quick way to digitize your slides. It does an okay job but lacks resolution when you want to enlarge the image. Works well to save your old slides, but don't expect great results if you want large wall hangings.

Inexpensive way to upgrade an older system to the USB 3.0 standard. Went in with no problems and runs smoothly.

Reset, reset, reset
on October 19, 2016
Posted by: TheComputerDoc
from Below the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona
The title says it all. Virtually every other day this router would need to be reset due to it dropping bitrates. My provider replaced their modem 3 times before it came down to this router. Calls to Linksys customer unsupport always came up with the same response, "this is the first time this has been reported" even after my calling them daily for a week. Even Geek Squad was unable to get a straight answer from Linksys.
Linksys did finally send out a replacement router, but that one had the exact same issue. This is a NOT READY FOR CONSUMER USE.
This router is not worth the trouble. I recommend you do your research, talk to friends and BB salesman to find out what personally use.
Wish you could give negative number ratings, because this product qualifies.

Use your camera outdoors, then protect it
on October 19, 2016
Posted by: TheComputerDoc
from Below the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona
If you take an expensive camera on a trip, use it at a sporting event, or even let your kids use it, consider getting the protection plan. With accident coverage, it goes way beyond the normal factory warranty and covers against dropping, liquids, almost anything that might happen. If it cannot be repaired, the coverage will give you credit for what you paid towards a replacement.
And you can take your camera in once a year for cleaning at no charge. They also will replace a battery 1 time at no charge. The cleaning and battery replacement will cover the cost of the plan alone.

Great for the person looking for a DSLR with video
on October 19, 2016
Posted by: TheComputerDoc
from Below the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona
If you are looking for a good camera for still work and very good video with the ability to change lens, then this is the camera for you. Being able to use the LED screen at various angles, including facing forward for self portraits, pointed down for overhead shots and directly from the back, this camera makes it easy to frame up the image you want. And with the autofocus function, you can follow fast action or tag the object you want and be sure it is in focus.

handy backup

With prices going down and capacity going up, this drive makes for an easy to use backup storage device. With USB 3.0, it's faster than a few of my older devices and will replace the desk unit I use to backup my videos.

DOES A DECENT JOB, BUT

The program does a good job looking for malware, but also tags some programs as having malware. Make sure you click on any malware it finds to determine if it is real or a false alarm.

Great coverage for that "JUST IN CASE"
on October 14, 2016
Posted by: TheComputerDoc
from Below the San Francisco Mountains in Arizona
I had a Canon handicam which took a fall down a cliff and was pretty well bashed up. The LED screen broke off during the fall and the camera was really beat up. My stepson, who was using the camera, gathered up the camera and screen, returning the wrecked camera to me, with many apologies. I took it in to Geek Squad, who shipped it off with the comment "looks like it's non-repairable". About a week later, I received a phone call and email verifying the camera was totaled and credit would be issued at the store.
Geek Squad was great, issuing a full refund via gift card which I used to replace the Canon.
I highly recommend spending the money for coverage, especially the Accident Damage coverage, which will replace the unit if you have an accident. Saved me by giving me credit for the original credit on a new camera. And my step son was relieved he didn't have to pay for the replacement.
If you don't get it, then any damage is your lose and total replacement is only going to be money out of your pocket.

What upgrade do I buy to add Alaska maps to an in-dash GPS?

It is a 2007 Lexux SUV with GPS built-in from the factory. Right now it only covers the continental US. I want to add maps for Anchorage, Alaska and vicinity.
You are going to need to check with your Lexus dealer. From experience, dealer installed upgrades, new maps or DVDs so you can update yourself are VERY expensive. Personally, I'll never buy another factory installed GPS again. There are plenty of stand alone GPSs that you can dash mount but update yourself for less cost. My Garmin 1390T has the continental US, Alaska and Canada which I can update quarterly.

European Maps preloaded

Do any of your GPS have preloaded maps of Europe. I need one that has the European Maps and US MAP already preloaded.
If memory serves me right, you can get European maps for Garmin and TomTom. Check their web sites.

Repair issues?

I have a Garmin nuvu 300/350, all at once on a trip it just lost its satellite. Have tried different ideas to et the satellite to return, have not succeeded, is it junk now?
My 1390T had an issue that required it be replaced. I contacted Garmin who exchanged it under warranty. If it is outside of Best Buy's exchange policy, contact Garmin direct. The phone number is available at their web site: www.garmin.com.

Which Gps system work for my benz c230 2007

Any portable GPS will work in any vehicle. It needs to be mounted in the windshield so it has a clear view of the sky and the GPS satellites.
