disappointment.......2004-03-25

At first it was amazing. It simply locked up and wouldn't turn off. Had to take out battery to initialize, then one day that didn't work. Sent in for warranty service. Got it back and a couple of weeks later the screen cracked with light use of the stylus. Sent it back for warranty repair. They refused claiming a cracked screen was sign of abuse, period. Never got it serviced, never got my money back, they treated me like I was trying to [cheat] them. A total waste of money and worse than that the 12 people who bought it on my recommendation probably had similar experiences. Compaq/HP customer support are you out there?

Aero 1550.......2001-12-23

This is my 2nd pocket pc from compaq, It took a little adjustment but I really like this model. The price was great and it performs well. I recommend this unit.

Very Good.......2001-10-01

Although you can see the colors, this Pocket PC PDA is really helpful at your work, home or just when you get a little bored.

The pocket versions of word, excel, outlook and explorer are compatible with your desktop PC so that you can carry important documents everywhere and read your e-mail.

The infrared port works OK (I've tried it transfering contacts to an Ipaq). The battery last for a long time since the lcd screen is B&W (grey scale).

Aero - simple, yet powerful.......2001-09-11

Did you ever buy something that you so believed in that you felt compelled to be an unaffiliated spokesperson for the product? That is how I feel about the Aero, and probably explains why I am writing this review. I am an officer in the army, and the Aero keeps me punctual and organized. The Microsoft CE system is outstanding and interfaces well with Microsoft Office. I can store Word, Excel, and all of my contacts and scheduled appointments on the Aero. I appreciate the audible reminder that I can set to remind me in the fury of an average day about a critical meeting. The Compaq Aero has everything that I was looking for in a PDA. If you can sacrifice the flash of color that you get with an IPAQ or Jornada for the slender, well priced, light, grey scale Aero, then this is for you.

Great Device.......2001-05-09

I was very impressed, in particular, by the Screen on this thing. When I decided to get the gray-scale Aero instead of the iPaq (which would have required waiting another 4 months), I thought I would be very disappointed by the screen. Having a handspring, I was assuming the screen to be very similar -- boy was I wrong. The Aero has a high-quality, high-resolution screen that rivals the quality of some desktops (yes, ok, it is much smaller -- but it is very easy to read). The backlighting is done intelligently & a modular port is available for upgrading the unit. One caution: don't drop it, it dings, dents and scratches easily -- and the silver unit really shows the marks.

Why leave surround sound to the movie theaters? The perfect addition to your DVD player and home theater receiver, Onkyo's SKS-HT520 speaker system provides all the speakers you need to enter the all-enveloping world of surround sound. Two-way, bass-reflex front, center, and surround speakers provide the soundstage, while a gut-thumping 220-watt subwoofer delivers bass to the deepest octaves for visceral movie LFE (low-frequency effects) signals and music reproduction.

The package includes 6 two-way surround-sound loudspeakers and a 10-inch subwoofer for high-quality reproduction of movie soundtracks and multichannel music. The front left and right satellites include a 1-inch balanced dome tweeter flanked by a pair of 5.25-inch woofers made of the company's highly regarded OMF (Onkyo Micro Fiber). The center channel features a pair of 4-inch OMF woofers and the same tweeter in a horizontal design, and all 3 surround channels feature a single OMF woofer and tweeter arrangement for a tonally matched 360-degree soundstage.

The system includes everything you need to hook it up: 6 lengths of speaker wire and an RCA line-level subwoofer interconnect. The speakers may be wall- or stand-mounted using optional hardware.

What's in the Box
Two front speakers, 2 center-channel speakers, 2 surround speakers, a powered subwoofer, removable grilles for all 6 speakers, 6 lengths of speaker wire, an RCA subwoofer cable, and a user's manual.

Awsome sound and value.......2005-08-15

I have had this system and their 6 disc DVD player for a year. They both work flawlessly. The sound is rich and I haven't had a single problem. I am attaching speakers to go in my bed room. It has separate outs for this but I haven't used them. This will be the final test. I don't think it will give me any trouble.

Not That Great.......2000-12-04

I purchased this cassette player about a year ago and now I'm out shopping for a new one. The sound quality is not as good as the one it replaced (I wish I could remember what it was!). I never did master all the digital options - the alarm kept going off and without the directions close at hand, I found myself pushing every button to get it to turn off. But the worst of it was that it just stopped working - even with new batteries. It would not move the tape. The final blow was when I accidently knocked it of the kitchen counter and the fast forward button broke off. Actually, I was grateful, now I can justify buying a new one.

excellent portable price for the great sound and reliabilty,could be compared with 200-300 units worth the price and more.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Lexar Media 512MB xD-Picture Cards XD512-231, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
