Convert!.......2007-07-01
Like many others, I switched. I switched from PC to MAC. And yes, like many others, I love it. The difference between the two machines is incredible. The products and software seem to work seemlessly. And so far, the software seems to be more intuitive. I bought my machine four years ago, and because I lived in Kuwait, there was something of a language barrier between myself and the local customer service agents. Now that I'm temporarily back in the states, I decided to pull it out and knock the dust off of it. Because I'm unfamiliar with the machine, I registered for the One on One service at the local Apple dealer. The tutorial seemed to go well and I learned a lot while there. My customer service rep even went as far as to give me his cell number, just in case. Contrary to popular belief, my experiences with the dreaded Apple computer customer service agents have all been cordial, personable and informative. Keep in mind, I'm not a computer geek, (not that that's a bad thing) so I don't know, what I don't know. They, of course, suggested that I do the typical updates, as I hadn't done any software updates in over four years. And they seemed to enhance the performance of the machine. I issue this appraisal however, with a few caveats. I've noticed that the cursor on my keyboard bounces around, such that, it gets a bit annoying from time to time. And I've also noticed that from time to time my screen momentarily goes blank and the battery life or lack thereof is terrible. All in all I've fallen firmly in love with this machine. I do, however, have to warn those of you who are debating the PC vs MAC conversion. Apple products are expensive(maybe too expensive)! So when and if you do have any mishaps, be prepared to dig deep into your pockets or pocketbooks. I recommend patiently familiarizing yourself with Apple products before making the switch; otherwise, it could be a costly experience; thus, my conservative rating. With that said, don't let my conservative rating sway you because like I said earlier in the review I love this machine.
Thumbs up for Apple!.......2005-10-16
I honestly never used a Mac before until I purchased this Powerbook (same specs) before college started. Although I lack knowledge of the Apple features, it is very user-friendly. Not only this notebook very good-looking from the outside, the performance works very well. The built-in features are very hassle free, no need to buy for wireless cards to detect wireless connection.
The only downside is the price, but for someone who looks for quality and ease, price does not matter. Actually, price is worth it.

first time apple user.......2005-09-16
Okay, so I've had a PC desktop,laptop, etc and usually looked at apple computers with disdain especially the ones I used as a kid in elementary school. But Apple has come an amazingly long way with the introduction of this powerbook which I consider to be the best purchase I've made in a long time. I thought it would be some what difficult to adjust from a PC to a Mac, but this powerbook is so user friendly, that after I took it out of the box it practically set itself up. What else can I say abou tthis laptop besides its just great! No crashing, voice command that can even tell you knock knock jokes, an impressive processor, beautiful design, illuminating keyboard, great bluetooth capability, and even the touchpad works beautifully. They say once you go mac you never go back, and its true. No more PCs for me!
I love my new Powerbook.......2005-08-30
This was my first Mac purchase, and I am very pleased. The keyboard is very comfortable for typing and the 15 inch screen is awesome. I had to add an additional gig of Ram because the base 512mb is too low, and it was sluggish.
The hard drive is a bit small too, but I will eventually pick up an external hard drive.
The included Mac software is awesome. I really am happy with my purchase.

- Compatible with amplifiers producing 5 to 150 watts per channel (8 ohms nominal, 6 ohms minimum); 35 to 22,000 Hz frequency response

Amazon.com Product Description
Reclaim your living room while rediscovering the joy of music. NXG Technology's 3-way NX-PRO8300 in-wall/in-ceiling speakers make powerful accessories for your stereo or surround-sound listening. Each of the two speakers is outfitted with a large, 8-inch titanium-anodized, injection-molded woofer with a durable rubber surround, a 2.5-inch titanium-anodized Mylar midrange driver, and a 1-inch liquid-cooled, titanium-dome tweeter.
The tweeters swivel so you can tailor their position to your listening area, and both the tweeter and the midrange driver feature an adjustable control to let you adjust their output level to your taste or to help you compensate for conditions in your listening environment. (A room with highly reflective hardwood floors, for instance, might sound better with less tweeter output than a carpeted room.)
With in-wall speakers, the wall and the space behind it actually become the speaker cabinet, resonating with lower (bass) frequencies that would be lost without the focusing a cabinet provides. As such, the speaker depth is just 4 inches, yet they still deliver an impressive, full-range 35 to 22,000 Hz frequency response. Mounted flush to the wall, they occupy absolutely no floor space. This discreet, compact format is perfect for applications where traditional speakers would be impractical or impossible--or simply unsightly.
The speakers' sensitivity is rated at 90 dB (1 watt @ 1 meter), which means they're easily driven; NXG recommends use with integrated amplifiers or surround receivers ranging from 5 to 150 watts (maximum) per channel. The speakers sound great on their own, but you can also use them to bring music from your living-room system to additional rooms in the house.
NXG recommends using a minimum of 16-gauge speaker wire for all installations, keeping in mind that gauge decreases as the wire thickens (i.e. 14-gauge wire is thicker than 16-gauge wire). You may paint the perforated speaker grilles, as well as the frames, to match any room.
What's in the Box
Two speakers with removable grilles, a mounting template, and a user's manual with warranty information.
Note: Tools required for installation include a drill and bits, a stud finder, a utility knife or drywall saw, a level, wire cutter/strippers, and speaker wire or speaker cable (all sold separately).

Excellent In wall speakers for the price........2005-12-17
You would be hard pressed to find a better sounding pair of in wall speakers for the low price of the NX-PRO8300's. They fill my rooms very nicely, and the sound is excellent. The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is that they will rattle in your drywall unless you mount them with the rough-in kit (extra charge, sold separately)

kodak dx4530.......2007-03-17
I've had this camera for almost two years and am now in the market for a new one. It served it's purpose well and I can not complain about the camera. Although starting about 6 months or so ago, the quality of the pictures started to diminish. Now everyone time I upload pictures I have to lighten every single picture - which is quite time consuming. The pictures turn out very dark. So if you're looking down the road on how the camera will perform after lots of use, this is just what I experienced.
Great Camera.......2006-12-29
I have had this camera for about 3 years now and I am still very happy with it. I take this little camera every where I go and am constantly taking pictures, my kids automatically turn and smile when I call their names lol. I am still using the original battery that came with the accessory package, I charge it on the cradle when I think about it...lol. I love the fact that the lens cap is attached so that I wont lose it and the fact that the viewing screen can be turned off to provide more battery life. The pictures come out just awesome, I have compared them to pictures taken from a friends 8.0 mp camera and there is no distinguishable differences that either of us can see. I have had several cameras before this one and this is by far been my favorite. The pictures I took of my daughters tee-ball team came out better than the pictures the professional photographer took with his high dollar equipment. My six and ten year olds are able to use this camera and easily take outstanding photos, I would recommend this camera for anyone.
A quick note.......2006-11-05
Just a quick note: the lens cap attaches to the camera via a string, and is a real pain.
LOVE THIS LITTLE CAMERA !!.......2006-06-06
I bought this before Christmas 2 years ago. It is simply a great digital camera for the money. I just returned from a 14 day European trip to Italy, France and Spain, and got some fantastic pictures !!! I also got some great pictures using the NO FLASH and the landscape mode. It is so user-friendly!! I love this camera and will probably purchase Kodak in the future.
Takes great pictures but beware!!!!!.......2006-05-25
I loved this camera It took great pictures was easy to use and with the dock a sinch to charge the view screen even worked pretty well when it was sunny....I would have given this camera a 5 before I started having problems with it ...first the view screen stopped working but I could still take pictures..then it would only boot up some times...and now it won't turn on at all...actually I take that back the ready light continously blinks red......I have read many other review that have the same problems with this camera....a word to the wise DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA...you're just asking for it!!

CaptionVision (CC) displays dialog that can be read along with encoded broadcast TV programs and prerecorded videos. Universal remote controls most brands of TVs, VCRs and cable boxes.

Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's HDTV-ready 27-inch TXM2796HF brings high-quality images and sound to any room in the house. It features up to 800 lines of horizontal resolution, a three-line digital comb filter that keeps edges sharp and minimizes dot drawl, and display output for 1080i or 480p modes. The flat screen produces distortion- and glare-free images that are visible from a wider viewing angle than traditional curved-screen TVs.
The TXM2796HF offers Samsung's Digital Pro Picture three-stage video processing system that produces a high-performance picture from both analog and digital sources. The Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) improves analog to digital signal processing, the Pro Chip Plus converts all analog signals to the better flicker-free progressive scan, and the three-line digital comb filter analyzes multiple lines of picture information to minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. This set also features an Invar shadow mask (an alloy material used to attain better focus and brightness consistency) and velocity scan modulation, which sharply defines edges and outlines by controlling the speed of transitions between the black and white portions of the signal.
It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner that receives MTS and SAP stereo broadcasts. Its built-in speakers have 10 watts of power apiece and it features a headphone jack on the side of the set. The Turbo sound function emphasizes the bass and treble frequencies to add fullness to the sound. Two component-video inputs allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or a source with component-video outputs. It also has 4 composite A/V inputs (3 rear, 1 side), 1 A/V output, 1 S-video input (side), and 2 RF inputs (rear).
Tech Talk
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.
Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.
What's in the Box
TXM2796HF 27-inch TV, remote control, 2 AA batteries, and printed operating instructions.

Avoid it like the plague..........2006-12-26
Set was dead within less than three years.
Before it died it developed an incredibly high pitched squeal from the speakers. The frequency of the noise changed throughout the life of the set. At first it was so bad my dogs couldn't be in the room with the set on. Eventually the noise got to the point that our human ears adjusted to hearing it.
The day the set died I was watching a movie on HBO. The set normally makes a chime whenever you turn it on/off. The sound suddenly cut out and the set immediately made the chime it makes when you turn the set off only it was very slow. The screen went black and the set was dead. I am puzzled though that the inside parts are still receiving electricity. Should you plug the set into an outlet something inside is continually ticking.
Regardless this incredibly expensive Samsung POS died within two years of being manufactured and purchased. However my 19" CRT from God knows where manufactured in 1987 continues to run flawlessly to this day. Samsung can go die in a fire I won't waste my money on them again. I suggest you do the same.
Overscan Problem.......2006-04-11
I purchased mine from Sears, not Amazon. It has an overscan problem. Calls to Samsung technical service finds that they provide no help in adjustments except to their repair persons.
Suppoedly because one might mess up the settings (more I guess).
One authhorized repair person had not experienced this before and does not have a store. I assume he would drive for attempted adjustment, but considering the distance (approximately 20 miles), I wonder about cost. Warranty has expired. Maybe should buy another brand?? Son has had two bad experiences with Samsung DVD players.
This is a great set........2003-10-16
I am a broadcast engineer for a FOX affiliate in Georgia, so I have seen quite a few monitors in my day. This set, is not for the large room,..but for quality of picture in normal broadcast, and definitely for High-Definition, it has few peers for quality. Also, I have one in our lobby, as a show piece, with our affiliates sound and picture, 24 hours a day, seven days a week since January 13, 2002, without so much as a hiccup, and zero upkeep. I have broadcast monitors in master control, that I wish were that good. (I also bought another one for my home in May 2003.) Its that good.
Samsung TXM2796HF - Poor Sound Quality.......2003-06-14
I bought the Samsung TXM2796HF about 4 months ago and recently I am getting a loud humming sound from the speakers. The humming sound is very annoying. The picture quality is good but the sound is terrible.
Quality and Value.......2003-05-06
I've had this set for a few months now and honestly have no complaints. I'm an avid gamer who owns a Gamecube, a PS2, and an X-Box. And while the PS2 looks decent on the set,its the Gamecube and most definately the X-Box that makes this set shine. At this time far too few Tv stations broadcast in HD, so its external devices like DVD Players and videogame consoles that validate an HDTV purchase for most people. At this set delivers it has 3 AV inputs, 1 S-Video input, and 2 Component inputs. Its really those last 2 that matter as their necessary for a high definition display. The picture quality is excellent, as far as people complining about the contrast or color thats what the custom settings are for obviously. Also the image tilting that others complain about is due to the earths magnetic field and can be rectified through use of the "tilt" option found at the bottom of the picture menu under "p-Function".
Im not a videophile Im just a gamer who knows what looks good. And for this price you cannot go wrong.

Monster Cable MV2R-2M - Well worth the price!.......2004-02-27
For the discerning audio/videophile, this particular video cable is somewhat of a necessity in their home theater. Several recent upgrades and additions to my first and second theater systems necessitated several new cables of various types. When it came down to insuring the best picture possible in the video connection between both receivers and televisions, Monster Cable's MV2R-2M and SV1R-1M were the clear choices.
As the advertising on the packaging states:
-Best Possible Resolution
-Most Natural Color Rendition
-Excellent Overall Video Performance
So far, in both systems, I've found these statements by Monster Cable Company to be dead on accurate. In combination with my Sony receivers, DVD players and televisions these video cables have delivered outstanding video performance in all cases.
Overall, I highly recommend these products or any other cable products by Monster Cable Company as every cable of theirs I've used so far has delivered nothing but high performance, easily defraying the slightly higher costs for their products. {ssintrepid}

I've recently tried out the Monster Video 2 RCA connectors in my home theater system. They seem to carry more than enough bandwidth for VCRs, and pretty good quality on DVD. I noticed a slight bit of noise when using Monster Video 2, but so fine that its not incredibly noticeable on a 25 inch tv. Other than that, it seems to work fine. Good cable.
