Great wireless modem/router

I am very pleased with this modem/router. It is best for using with Comcast since this has the connections for digital telephone service. I got rid of the secondary phone modem that Comcast installed and has been paid many times over through rental fees. There is one less charge on my bill. The wireless is very fast and coverage in the house is excellent. Get rid of those old modems and routers and use this one.

Easy installation

This drive was added to my Dell gaming machine for storing Steam games. It installed easily and I moved the games from a smaller SSD and set the drive as target for Steam. Just be sure you have your connectors ready, initialize the drive and format. The price is right for using SSDs for storage, but always make backups in case the drive goes down. This is my third Samsung SSD and so far none have failed. You are more likely to run out of space and the price is perfect for increasing the size of an SSD.

Big storage for a low price

This portable drive has enough room to carry you whole music and video collection. If you have more than 4 gigs, then get the 8 gig. Windows sees the drive as soon as you plug it in. There are utilities and security programs on the drive, but check WD's site for updated versions. I prefer a WD drive over other brands because they last a long time. I still have two WD Raptors in use.

This single-disc edition of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H is a pared-down version of the two-disc set that is also still available. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves Altman's original aspect ratio. This is a film that really plays terribly when seen in pan-and-scan. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a second English soundtrack and a French soundtrack have both been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Altman. He discusses what it was like filming on the Fox set at a time when two other war films were being created, the initial tension on the set between himself and his two lead actors, how the film came together in the editing room, and various other aspects of the production. The two-disc set offers more whistles and bells, but this release is an outstanding way to acquire this fine film.

A well rounded movie collection should include this low key war film that still stands the test of time. The humor still works without being dates.

Not great but good

The movie is good but lacks the excitement of the other better Star Wars films. It should be a part of your collection but the ending is not the best.

Network has proven itself to be a timeless classic, and it has now received an edition that lives up that status with this excellent two-disc set from Warner Bros. The video transfer offers a stellar, beautifully remastered widescreen image that is much richer in color and detail than the original DVD edition of this title. The audio portion of the disc features a Dolby 2.0 stereo mix that keeps the dialogue nice and clear within its well-balanced mix. In terms of extras, the first disc offers a trailer and an excellent commentary track from director Sidney Lumet that discusses his approach to the film in detail and also his memories of working with Paddy Chayefsky. The second disc is devoted to a series of featurettes. The first is a six-part documentary that covers all aspects of the film. It boasts many new interviews and features some especially interesting segments about the film's famous "mad as hell" scene and Walter Cronkite's thoughts on the film. There's also an hour-long episode of Private Screenings built around a career-retrospective interview with Lumet and an appearance that Chayefsky made on the Dinah! show to promote the film. It all adds up to an excellent, comprehensive package that does justice to the enduring power of Network.

Classic film with a message

This film is not solely intended for entertainment. It has a not so subtle message. Faye Dunaway and WIlliam Holden are excellent in their roles while Finch shines in his final performance.

The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter with high-gain antennas provides 3x faster access than USB 2.0. Wirelessly connect your notebook or desktop computer to an 11ac network for applications such as lag-free, multiple HD streams throughout your home.

I was hoping to purchase a wireless card but this is satisfactory. Best Buy does not carry any cards in the store and I bought this because there was nothing better that I could buy on the spot.

A Great Halloween film

This is not just for Hallowen but all year round chuckles. The plot is superb and the comedy is entertaining for kids and adults. Special effects were particularly good in this film, but it is the plot and acting that bring this all together in a fun film.

This is a classic because the plot and comedy is so much fun. Belushi and Ackroyd are perfect for the roles. They bring some of the SNL humor to the big screen.

I have watched this movie many times and still laugh at this crazy sci fi film. Too bad Star Wars can't incorporate more of this type humor. Who would have thought a talking tree and racoon could be so funny.

I just received my "My Passport 4TB" and it works great. However, I am not sure of removal for transport. So far, twice I have just disconnected it by pulling the cord, but I'm afraid of damaging it this way. Is this okay to do?

I just disconnect when the drive is no longer writing and there should be no problem. Windows does not provide an eject for this type of drive like USB drives.

Stay connected with this Logitech C920 Pro webcam that features 1080p resolution when video chatting via Skype and 15.0-megapixel still image capture for crisp visuals. The built-in microphone offers stereo sound for video chatting with loved ones.
 

How do I get this camera to dispay Full Screen on my monitor?

The video only displays in a small window on my monitor, which is nearly useless for my purposes (recording drawing sessions). I need a full screen option--how do I get this?
There is no way to make this full screen. Logitech tends to leave out features that people do not normally use. This webcam is intended for Skype calls and a few other limited uses. You have to find other software that can do full screen.
