Good Solid Cordless Phone.......2004-12-22

I was very surprised to see ony two stars for this phone. I have had one for over two years and this phone has been a good solid performer. I am a self-proclaimed gadget freak and have tried many different cordless phone brands. I think that Panasonic and Sony make the best phone and I think that Panasonic, while the cheaper of the two generally makes better equipment. With two small kids ours has been dropped and moved multiple times and has never given us trouble. It has provided better clarity than my more expensive Sony phones as well. I will admit that the features that are jammed into this phone are a bit over the top but this is a very useful phone. In fact, I'm on the site to purchase one for my mom. Happy Holiday!

Replace the Panasonic Battery with a non-Panasonic battery.......2004-03-03

In my earlier review, I spoke of having the now infamous Panasonic battery problem. Since then I took the advice offered by one of the other reviewers of this product. They replaced their poor Panasonic battery with a non-Panasonic battery and have seemingly fixed their problems.

So I headed to the nearest Radio Shack to buy one of their Radio Shack brand phone batteries and thus far it's working great. The battery I purchased was catalog number 23-270 ($14 and change after tax) and it's a Radio Shack 3.6V/1200mAh NiMH Battery. The battery itself is a little smaller than the Panasonic battery, but still works like a charm.

So if you're having a problem with the battery, replace it with a non-Panasonic battery and you should be fine. I thank the previous poster who offered up the idea originally. For whatever reason, I never thought to try an off-brand battery. I hope this helps those who ran into this problem like myself.

ditto to horrible battery life..........2003-11-01

my first panasonic 2563 works great...this 2583 won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes talk time...and it's only two weeks old!!!!!!!!!!customer service offered to replace it with a refurbished model when all i'm looking for is a new battery...i paid top dollar so that i could trade it in two weeks later for a refurbished unit...........i'm very dissapointed with them...never another panasonic.

Battery can be Changed to NiMH for better Performance.......2003-10-22

I have owned this phone for over a year, and after replacing the original NiCd Panasonic battery with a GE 1300 mAh NiMH battery (TL965600187), the battery performance has been exceptional. The features of this phone are excellent and the performance has been great. However, recently we have been unable to use it at all due to large amounts of 2.4GHz interference in our home. Beware of too many wireless devices in your area. The 2.4GHz spectrum is the wild west. Other than that, this phone is great!!

Please don't waste your money!!!!.......2003-09-01

I wish I had taken heed to the warnings before I purchased this phone in Feb. 2003... The battery life is the worst I've EVER seen! You probably get a good 10 mins. of talk time per charge...

PLEASE DON'T BUY IT!!!!

Frankly, They Rock.......2007-07-18

The AD900 were my first set of real cans. Frankly, I think they sound great. They are the most detailed pair of cans I own (also the most expensive, so people reading for truly high hi-falutin' audiophool reviews should go elsewhere, I'm all mid-fi). Truly they do nothing wrong; every aspect of the spectrum is fairly dry. The bass is lean, but well defined -- bass heads should apply elsewhere... maybe Beyer-Dynamic? The coloration on these cans is on the bright side. In fact, they don't sound too much unlike my roommate's Grado SR-125, though they generally go down much smoother and aren't all 'in your face'. They're very open and have some good sound stage in my opinion. The velour (ish?) pads and weird wing support system make them very comfortable and un-sweat inducing. They feel very open, too. I would say there aren't too many genres these cans can't do right. I find orchestral stuff a little boring through the AD900, but I think it shines with most rock, acousticky stuff, and jazz. Having a bit of weight up at the top end of the spectrum, they are not the most forgiving headphones. If the engineer flubbed the recording, you're gonna hear it (which means unwanted distortion, etc. in a lot of my favorite rock. I thought they were defective at first till I realized what was really going on).

These headphones are very durable and very handsome. Obviously they are only meant for at-home use, but I've never managed to scratch them. They are also pretty easy to drive without a dedicated amp. Even my mp3 player and PCDP get nearly the most out of them. If you want a detailed and thoughtful set of headphones for not a whole lot, the AD900 is a good choice. If bass is your main thing, though, you might consider something else.

Awesome Audiophile headphone.......2007-02-23

These headphones are awesome! I have spent a while looking for a set of cans that would sound great without an expensive amp, and these are the best I've ever heard. If you are looking for an audiophile open headphone that is easy to drive and puts comparably priced sennheiser's (i.e. HD 555/595) to shame look no further! For a slightly cheaper set go for the ATH-AD700.

Product Description

The AAA-131SA SCSI RAID card is specifically designed for small business, workgroup and departmental servers. Previously, due to price, the only cost-effective option for this class of server has been the limited data protection and slow performance of RAID-like software that is embedded within the native operating system. Now, businesses deploying smaller servers no longer have to compromise. The AAA-131SA single-channel, half-size Ultra SCSI RAID card is a high-performance choice for systems that already have embedded SCSI or an add-in host adapter for low-speed devices.

ACER 6206 CD-RW Drive.......2002-10-19

This drive is slow by today's standards, but it is a solid piece of gear. I found that it was auto-detected by Windows versions from Win95a through Windows XP. It is NOT on the WinXP HCL, but it worked properly the first time without any problem. Mine has outlasted 2 system boards and is working on its 6th version of Windows. The firmware is easily upgraded with Internet available tools.
One caveat; it has no buffer under-run protection, so you would be forced to suspend all other activities while burning your cd. I thinki t is a bit pricey.

Acer 6206A (Discos quemados a medias).......1999-12-27

Hace 5 meses que adquiri el el producto en cuestion, por recomendacion de un amigo. Lamento haber realizado la compra, la unidad CD-RW ademas de ser demasiado lenta (40 min a 1 hr por copia 600-650 MB)daña de 3 a 5 CD's de cada 10 que que pruebo.

good drive........1999-10-23

you know, despite what others say, this is a good little drive. I have had a 99% success rate with CD's on this thing. And for a 2X writer, it is pretty damn fast...I wouldn't play a game off of it, but still its fast. It may not be the best, but it is far from the worst.

Good Value.......1999-10-14

Installation was a breeze, I set it as a slave on IDE channel 2 with my CDROM as master. A little slow, and I wouldn't have bought it without the rebate. The Adaptec CD Creator software is a bit twitchy, you should disable Auto Insert Notification on your CDROM to eliminate possible problems. Overall, it's a great value for an entry level CD-RW unit, but I'll buy a faster unit in a little while.

It's fine for music - Bad for big data.......1999-10-13

I used my Acer for a CD production & came out ok. Levels are a bit wonky, though. I tried to back up the audio data files & have been working with tech support for 6 months. Getting no where. They aren't much help. I'd pay more & get something that works much better.

With support for two users and up to eight attached computers, the ATEN's CS228 is perfect for testing benches and other multi-user environments. Multi-level password protection, built-in OSD (On-Screen Display) and full multimedia sharing are just a few of the enhanced features the CS228 supports. Of course, the CS228 also supports many of the features that make ATEN KVM switches stand above the competition, including support for up to 1280x1024@60 or 800x600@85 flicker-free video resolution, Plug-n-Play monitors and most advanced wheel mice. There's no better way to manage a multi-user server room or testing bench than with the CS228. Password protection is provided in order to prevent unauthorized access to the computers. Responding to the growing use of audio, the CS228 has built in microphone and speaker support. Because of its multiconsole design, the CS228 cannot be daisy chained to another CS228. Instead, the CS138A serves as the cascading unit. Up to eight CS138As (using 2L1603P/2L1603P/2L1605P as the cascading cable) can be chained to the CS228, for a total of up to 64 connected computers.

Product Description

Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.PRODUCT FEATURES:40 Second DASS;Anti-Roll, Horizontal and Vertical Shock Sensor;CD Player with 22 Programmable CD Memory;Forward & Reverse Search, Repeat, Pause;Includes Stereo Headphones;Bass Boost System;Line Out Jack;3 Beam Laser Pick Up;Auto Power Off;Key Hold Switch;Dual Stereo Headphone Jacks;AC/DC Operation;Rechargeable Circuit for NiCad Battery (Battery/AC Adapter not included).

Amazon.com Product Description

The Audiovox CE145G portable CD player delivers a solid 40-second antiskip buffer, multidirectional antiroll sensors, and 22-track programmable memory. And not to be overlooked is the CE145G's translucent, green case and slim profile, giving it a cool, modern look.

This player's "rock steady" antiskip protection virtually eliminates skipping during portable play by routing up to 40 seconds of the digital audio signal to its buffer before playback. So if you're on the move or the CE145G gets bounced around a bit, playback stays smooth. Antiroll, horizontal, and vertical sensors offer multidirectional protection from rolling movements that could also interfere with playback.

The CE145G's bass boost punches up the bass response, and its three-beam laser pickup keeps its sound crisp. A line-out jack connects this player with an AC or car adapter, offering a nice alternative to battery operation.

Other convenient features include a 22-track programmable CD memory that lets you customize track playback, random play, and various repeat play and search modes. A hold switch saves your program settings, while its auto power-off saves on batteries.

The CE145G's built-in rechargeable circuitry lets you operate this player on two AA ni-cad batteries (not included) and comes with stereo headphones. Audiovox backs this player with a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty.

Green, groovy.......2001-06-15

This is a pretty big load of fun for twenty bucks. You can see the disc spinning around while it plays. Neat. See-through headphones, too. Swell! The sound is like all digital media, too much treble, kinda thin, but they all sound like that to me, so I guess the sound is fine. One excellent feature that I wasn't expecting is the nickel-cadmium batter charger built in. That's excellent. While it lacks track clocks and a few bells and whistles, if you just want to listen to CDs, you can't go wrong with this one.

okay.......2000-12-08

I think this product is okay because of it shock sensors.The 40 seconds of shock resistance is really good,because you can still listen to music if you tap acidentally.It also has a pretty good price tag.

I purchased Apex 20" tv in 2003 i am can sfely say it was value for my money I think that the remote sucks also but! it won't kill anyone to walk to the tv 10ft away and put in on or change the channel this was my first television i still love it,sometimes people get their item from a bad batch and that can be annoying when everbody else said it works great! I got a good tv and my review is on that tv which i own, i cant swear by anything else my experience with this product was marvellous and satisfying. It worth every penny laterz folks.

BEWARE! Do Not Buy!.......2004-06-30

RATING: NO STARS
Purchased this TV in December 2003 as X-mas present for my son. Opened for X-mas Eve, DOA. Amazon won't touch because it was opened. Sent back to APEX. They incorrectly shipped me a DVD player with someone else's address hand-written on box. I shipped it back. Then they sent me a TV, the WRONG model! I shipped it back. Now here it is June 29, 2004 and still no TV. I have no illusions that IF I ever receive the correct TV from these morons it will be anything worth all the aggrevation I went through to get it. BEWARE! You get what you pay for. If it looks to good to be true, IT IS!

Quality Product - Score '0' for Customer Service.......2004-05-12

Like many, I purchased this TV for the unbelievable value. A TV is a TV, right? Actually, prior to this, I purchased an APEX 20" Flat Screen TV - which is even better for a few more dollars. The quality of the picture and sound is very good, and the features are very nice. Certainly, a "good buy". With one glitch - the remote was DOA (dead on arrival). Unfortunately, I used the TV for several months in my dining/kitchen area and never needed the remote. Having just moved, the TV is now in my bedroom - where the remote would be useful. I took it out of the wrap, installed 2 new batteries (then tested them in another device), and no go. Even read the manual, trying to make sure the parental control was not factory set. With a dead remote in hand, I called APEX. The limited 1 year warranty only covers the remote for 90 days, and well, I'm about 45 days too late. The customer service rep was quick to advise me of that. I "tried" in vain to get her to understand my dilemma, the key factor being this remote has been dead since it arrived. She reminded me again of the 90-day policy (companies are so good at writing policies). Oddly, I offered this information at the start of my conversation. End result? I was offered the option to buy a new remote for about $29 (about 1/3 of the cost of the TV itself), and that probably did not include shipping. Would Sony or Panasonic have stood behind their product under the same circumstances? I don't know, but APEX clearly did not. Moral of the story - great price, very good product, poor customer service - get what you pay for? I simply cannot give this product a recommendation greater then 1, unless the company chooses to show some decency to their customers; and as you have probably guessed, APEX won't be on my list in the future.

Amazing for the price!.......2004-03-28

I've had this tv for close to 8 months now... I can only say good things about it. It looks gorgeous, the sound is great, the image is top-notch, and it works with my vcr, dvd player, digital camcorder, everything! I paid a very good price for it and I have not been disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this item to anybody, that's how good I think it is.

No, it's not perfect, but for this price, it's top of the line!

Great for a 2nd Tv or Guestroom!.......2003-12-18

This is a good value for the money. We have this TV set up in a second bedroom of our house. The picture and sound are good for the money. So far what impresses me is that for about $100.00 we have a TV that is hooked up with individual items such as VCR/DVD/PS2/Gamecube with no sound or picture problems (Knock on wood).
On the down side this thing ways a ton, I think we weighed it on our scale at close to 60 pounds, but it seems sturdy and plays well.
I'd recommend this to anyone who was looking for another TV and didn't want to spend a lot of cash. It's not tiny like a 13" and it's got good picture and sound. What more could you ask for with that price?
I'd consider giving this as a gift also with confidence that it would be a good addition to my loved ones home/office/etc.
