The addition of options like the 30-sheet auto feeder and AC adapter will add weight, but will also extend the Brother MP21C Color Inkjet mobile printer's benefits for convenient setup and for more enhanced uses while traveling and on your home desktop.

4 out of 5 stars It Does the Job.......2002-09-20

I travel frequently to remote locations and I sometimes find myself in a situation where I could use a portable printer with my notebook computer (Toshiba Satellite/Windows 98SE). Now and then I need a hard copy of a Word document, or digital photo print of a piece of engineering equipment, when I have no easy access to a desktop computer/printer. I often looked at portable printers in the shops but because of the price [price] and the inconvenience of carrying one around (especially if it needs an AC adapter), I never seriously considered buying one. However, a few weeks ago, I saw an MP21 on sale for [price]at an [company name], so I bought it.

The bottom line is that the MP21 does an excellent job for what a portable printer is really for. It weighs only 2.2 lbs, it is only 1/3 the size of my notebook, it runs entirely via a PCMCIA card (no bulky power adapter) and print/photo quality is excellent. Printing is a little slow (it takes about 30sec to print a Word Document and about 2min for a color photo) and you must feed one sheet at a time but these issues are of little consequence for my needs. Replacement ink cartridges for the MP21 (one black and one color) can be rather expensive [price] at a lot of places but I found them for online for [price] each [web page]P>The MP21 is definitely not a replacement for a desktop printer (frankly, it wasn't meant to be) but I certainly would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good little portable printer.

1 out of 5 stars MP21C Portable Printer.......2002-06-22

In one word the printer is " [bad]", I would not touch another Brother Printer again- having said that- when I tried to get it serviced I was totally disapointed with there approach. In short I got no Technical support at all with the printer being returned in the same condition that it was sent in. My advise is forget Brother Printers because if you have a problem then you are on your own.

1 out of 5 stars does not work with win xp.......2002-05-07

If you have a newer computer, the MP-21c will not work with Win XP. The drivers supplied by Brother will only support parallel printing, even though the printer does not have a parallel port. This forces you to buy a...cable and AC adapter from Brother, negating the convenient one-cable setup via the PCMCIA card.

Feeds single sheets only; a sheet feeder is an additional [cost]. It is as large as the printer itself.

Brother's customer support is awful.

Avoid this one and look to the Canon BJC-85.

My experiences only; caveat emptor.

4 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2001-06-26

Makes my job easy, convenient & quick, whether at home or on the move in my car! Very good invesment! I hope it lasts a long time until another better upgrade is available.

2 out of 5 stars Brother MP21-C Lab Test.......1999-09-23

This printer comes in a tiny black box, with color badges about some of the printer features on it. The box include in addition to the printer that weight only one kg and measure 30 x 10.5 x 5 cm, a small box contain two ink cartridge, PCMCIA card, connection cable, two floppy disks, user manual and quick setup guide and of course there is no power adapter. We followed the quick setup guide for connecting and configuring the printer; it was fast and easy job thanks for the PCMCIA card. So we don't need any more the slow IrDA connections, neither the battery nor the power adapter so this make the printer lighter. Also it consume a little of portable computer power, just 2.5 watt in printing and one watt in standby. Then we start installing the ink cartridge, it was different from other ink-jet printers that the first big cartridge contains the black color and also the cyan color, and the second cartridge contains both magenta and yellow colors. Also here it was an easy and clean job for both installing and removing.

The big surprise were when we turn the printer on, the color LED's start flashing in a continues serial way, after a long wait we checked the manual and it said that it will take about 8 minutes for filling the ink into the printer for the first time use.

When the dancing color show finish. We start installing the printer driver throw an easy SETUP program but it don't support uninstall function. By fast look to the driver we found that it contain all futures we found in a desktop printer driver like print quality, media and status monitor.

During test, paper loading wasn't easy, there is no input try, so you have to feed paper one by one slowly, and also there is no output try. The strong point was the printing quality, for a maximum resolution 720 x 720 DPI it was equal to popular desktop printers like HP695C in photo printing, color graphics and text only. But for the printing speed, you have to wait for the output, a single mixed graphics & text page took 2 minuets 15 seconds and more than 10 minutes for postal card size photo. For the text print it took 8 minutes 45 seconds for mono color text page in fine quality and 1 minutes 35 seconds for the same page in normal quality.

Finally we can say that Brother MP21-C improve the field with its quiet operation only 40 dBA, light weight, high quality printing especially as a mobile printer and also easy connection by single data and power connection which make it ready for travel and using every where. But we think that slow printing and limited paper handling will detract from its share in mobile printers market.

                      Amazon.com Product Description

                      A ReplayTV DVR (digital video recorder) makes it simple to record favorite shows without the complicated programming requirements of VCRs and without videotape hassles. The result? You are freed from set TV schedules, and you watch what you want, when you want. ReplayTV connects nightly to the ReplayTV service to download the latest channel guide information. You use this intuitive channel guide and main menu to follow simple--and in many cases, one-button--prompts. Because ReplayTV uses digital recording to store live television on a hard drive as you're watching, you'll also be able to control live TV. You can pause live TV to take a telephone call, rewind to see a scene again, use instant replay to jump back seven seconds, or watch a scene in slow motion.

                      With the ReplayTV RTV4532, you can connect to the ReplayTV service through a high-speed broadband Internet connection or an analog mode. And regardless of how you connect, you'll enjoy all the benefits this DVR offers, including one-button recording of favorite shows and the option to watch recorded shows without commercials. Plus, you get up to 320 hours--more than 13 straight days--of storage capacity. If you forget to program the receiver to record a show before leaving for vacation, no worries--access your ReplayTV over the Web and program it from anywhere.

                      If you connect to the ReplayTV service through a high-speed broadband Internet connection, you'll be able to share recorded programs with friends and family who have ReplayTV 4500-series components. And, if you have a home network, it's easy to connect a ReplayTV and stream video from room to room between multiple ReplayTVs, or share digital photos between a PC and a ReplayTV. With two ReplayTV 4500-series models in a home connected via the unit's Ethernet port, you can watch recorded programs stored on either unit.

                      So, if you're using the upstairs ReplayTV 4500 unit and you want to watch a program that was recorded on the downstairs unit, no problem--just select it. Other features include commercial advance, show organizer, conflict resolver, progressive-scan output, digital-audio output, and a backlit remote control.

                      What's in the Box

                      Unsatisfactory. Do not buy the lifetime subscription. Do not buy the product unless you don't mind awful customer service. I have had two models (RTV3030 and RTV5504). The hard drives will fail. You will need technical support. Here is what you can look forward to.

                      Their customer support office is closed during the very time when someone is likely to encounter a problem or want to activate a new system. Their hours are from 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific time with no weekend or holiday hours. If a customer turns on his TV on a Friday night and discovers a problem with the ReplayTV unit he must wait until Monday and call during hours when he is likely at work and not able to be in front of the device. Tivo, their competitor offers support 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM including weekends.

                      The customer must pay long distance charges for the 20 - 30 minutes they wait on line for a representative due to higher than normal call volume. It is ALWAYS higher than normal and they discontinued the toll free number.

                      The consumer must pay $60 for "warranty" service. The warranty covers parts but not labor. If your device needs repair you must:

                      1. Actually reach a technical service representative.
                      2. Follow all of the troubleshooting steps he has been trained to walk you through.
                      3. Have him determine that it is a defect in the device.
                      4. Agree to pay $59.95 for warranty repair (refurbished replacement) and give credit card information.
                      5. Wait for 24 to 48 hours for an email from a different department with return authorization and address. (After they charge your card)
                      6. Call to find out why you never received it. (I was told by a representative that this is not an individual experience.)
                      7. Box the unit according to instructions.
                      8. Ship at your own expense.
                      9. Wait for weeks.
                      10. Go to the tracking web page to find out that that your RMA number cannot be found.
                      11. Wait until office hours again to call to find out why. ( I will need to complete the steps later as this as far as I have gotten.)

                      Watch something recorded whilst recording - *

                      See - more than 4 stars.

                      Downside - sometimes shuts recordings off "early" - and I haven't found a way of recording + 1H apart from making a manual recording.

                      The blue light on the front is too bright.

                      4 out of 5 stars Largest capacity PVR on the market.......2003-05-11

                      If you ask anyone that's owned a ReplayTV or a Tivo, they will tell you that they never want to go back to TV without one. The 4532 is just more of a good thing. While it's rated at 320hrs. of recorded material, nobody I know watches on low resolution, which is the reason to own a large capacity unit. When run at medium quality setting, you are down to 160hrs, and increasing to highest quality reduces that even further. For us, an 80hr unit is plenty, however we want all 80hrs to be of the highest video quality, hence the 4320.

                      Watch shows when you want to, pause to answer the phone, schedule your viewing for a week and then watch it later with no commercials. Commercial Advance allows you to skip the commercials entirely. There is also a 30 second button that allows you to step through commercials.

                      Nothing is perfect, and PVR's (personal video recorders) are still relatively new products on the market. There are occasional software glitches, but overally these units work very well. ReplayTV was recently bought by the parent company to Denon, a very large Japanese consumer electronics company, which should ensure it's future.

                      Having owned earlier ReplayTV units, the advances with the 4xxx series are nice. The 5xxx series does not have the same level of build quality, and the software is buggier. I feel like the 4320 is the best PVR on the market right now. We also own a Tivo, but we let the kids use it. The ReplayTV units have features that Tivo just doesn't have, however Tivo is a solid platform, and doesn't suffer the occasional minor software glitches the Replay units do. Casual user should steer toward Tivo, while people that want to use the networkng capability and are willing to do a bit more setup will be well rewarded by the Replay 4320.

                      Warranty and out of warranty repairs are handled by exchanging for a reconditioned unit. These units also carry a warranty. We have never hand to exchange one, and from what I see on the AVS forum, not many others have had to as well. ...

                      1 out of 5 stars Should be called "Repair TV".......2003-04-30

                      I purchased my Replay 5080 in late December 2002. Initial setup was a breeze. However, the problems soon started. I was unable to speak to any human in technical support until early Jan. 2003. I think the entire company closed for the holidays. After speaking to multiple support reps, my machine worked for 2 more weeks. The next "glitch" was in the software. They were aware of the problem, but did not have an answer. I shipped the unit back (at MY expense) and received a refurbished unit within 10 days. This unit worked for all of 3 weeks. It froze and no support suggestions could get it running. This time it took a week and multiple calls to get a supervisor to OK the return. (At least they sent an airbill this time to pay for the return). I am still waiting for my 3rd unit. This is their last chance. I would not suggest buying Replay TV until they figure out how to make their units a little more reliable.I feel I know more about fixing this product than some of their tech support staff.

                      1 out of 5 stars it looks nice but doesn't work.......2003-04-24

                      5 months after i bought this product it stopped working. sonic blue would barely exchange it for a recondioned unit. let the buyer beware. but this at your own risk and the risk is high. reviews all point to lots of these units not working!!!!!
