Outstanding Package
This machine really flys! The 2.53GHz P4 processor combined with 512MB of DDR memory really make this machine scream even with the most demanding video games. The GeForce 4 MX420 graphics card delivers fast, crisp images even during online gaming where I have experienced most of my problems with video jumping on other machines. The sound is crisp and clear and the bundled speakers are really nice. I really like the DVD Burner feature that let's me make movies on DVD that play on my home DVD player. The built-in 6-in-1 memory card reader is a really nice touch and takes both of the memory cards I use with my MP3 player and my digital camera. This makes loading MP3s and downloading images from my camera to my PC a snap. This alone made the machine upgrade worth the money spent. No complaints here... at all!

Great speakers but thats it
Warning do not think that you can capture and share any video with this unit.I purchased this unit thinking I could take my home movies from vhs to dvd Wrong! You will be unable to share any captured video on this unit with any other PC or DVD player due to copyright protection. With that functionality gone the unit is massively overpriced.

Good machine, but it will cost you. . .
The media center PC is quite a cool concept. . . The new windows version is pretty cool too!I do like the computer; but I do not like the fact that there are no open PCI slots. With all the components in the box, there is no real room to expand, only to replace.

The Audigy sound card is exceptional.It is capable of supporting Dolby 5.1 surround sound.The nVidia GeForce MX 420 graphics is not the best, but it isn't bad.I still wish they would start packing them with the TI GeForce cards, they are considerably better. The onboard memory reader is a plus.The only problem is that it only has four of the five current flash-style card slots.It supports Sony Memory Stick, Smart Media, Compact Flash, and Secure Digital.It does not support the new XD memory type used in many Olympus digital cameras.

The unit comes with great speakers.The processor speed is good, P4 2.53 GHz. 512 MB of DDR RAM is a must for today's demanding applications and games.The DVD recorder is cool.The audio/video equipment is awesome.The fact that you can capture television is great.

The HP f70 flat panel monitor is a great compliment to this machine.It is expensive, but a quality piece.This machine as a whole is great.If you are not a fan of assembling your own computer, you will not find a machine with more already on-board capabilities. . .

Editorial Review

HP has designed its Pavilion ze4560us Notebook PC for users who require satisfactory performance and wireless connectivity at a seriously budget-conscious price point. It may not break any speed records or smoothly display cutting-edge 3-D games, but the Pavilion ze4560us should suffice quite nicely for most typical mobile business and leisure applications.

At 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.62 inches and 7.25 pounds, the unit is of average size. Inside, HP has installed a mid-level yet cost-effective 1.87 GHz AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+ processor with battery-conserving PowerNow Technology, a generous 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1024 MB), and an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory.

The system features an adequate 40 GB hard disk for file and program storage and a convenient DVD/CD-RW combo drive for listening to and burning music CDs, archiving data and playing the latest movies. DVD writing is not offered in this stock configuration. The system's crisp 15-inch XGA TFT display supports images of 1024x768 resolution, and its 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec Lansing-designed speakers deliver accurate, full-bodied sound.

Controlling the Pavilion ze4560us is a snap. The unit features a full-size 88-key keyboard with Touch Pad dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. Other amenities include two traditional USB 1.1 ports for plug and play peripherals (high-speed USB 2.0 ports are not included), an IEEE 1394 FireWire port for fast interaction with external devices such as digital camcorders, and an S-Video TV-out. Communication facilities are very solid, ranging from an integrated 802.11b wireless LAN interface to an RJ-45 Ethernet connection and 56K modem.

Keeps Laptop Safe
I bought this a few weeks after I got my laptop because I wanted to have something to carry it around in when I needed it and somewhere I knew it would be safe.

I like having to space for all of my computer's needs (power cords, extra phone line).There is even room for folders when I'm studying or DVDs when I'm bored out of my mind.

I don't have to 'hunt' for everything when I need my computer, either.It is all right there in a handy case that can go with me anywhere.

Roomy and Nice Looking
As a student this was the best case for me.It can fit my 15" notebook snugly, with a second large compartment for textbooks and notebooks.The front flap is for cords, floppy disks, pens, calculators, etc.It is also not bad to look at. I was very impressed when it came in the mail.I had been worried my notebook would be too large because I had experienced that before, but I would recommend this for up to 16" notebooks.The ajustable bungee strap is really comfy too.The case itself is also really light on your shoulder, but still durable.Me likes.

Different Model - Same Problem
I have a model MW1060SA Samsung microwave that my son gave me for Christmas two years ago.About 6 months ago, the door started sticking and was very difficult to open.Then, we noticed that the paint under the plate had started bubblibng and peeling, exposing bare metal.I thought at first that something had spilled but when I looked closer, the paint was peeling and there is rust on the bottom of the microwave.I came to this site to see if others had this problem and after reading the reviews, I unplugged my microwave and will toss it tomorrow.I have always used Sharp microwaves in the past and will probably get another one this time.

It starts on its own.
I have had the thing for almost 2 years.I have liked it and had no problems whatsoever.Then last night it started on its own... three times!It was kind of unnerving.I was sleeping (2 am) when I heard 2 beeps and the thing start.I initially thought I was making it up, but then my wife said "Is that the microwave?!"Being the good husband I went and turned it off and thinking little of it and went back to bed.Then it did it again.I have no kids, no pets, and thankfully there was no intruder turning on our microwave just to freak us out.When it happened the third time I decided to unplug it and call it a night.Today I wanted to see if it was just power surges last night or if it really was the microwave.It did it again for a forth time and I am calling it the microwave.Too bad I kind of liked the thing.It is kind of cool for freaking out my wife though.

Happy Halloween!

Just Ramen!
It doesn't matter what brand, in fact, all the flavors are essentially the same "salt" flavor, but oh ramen, I salute thee!

If there was a nuclear war, I would load up on so much of this stuff before lukemia killed me!

Don't use the weird looking packet that comes in the imported kind.It is not for the taste buds of any American.

The best Marker.
It seems pointless or even funny to review something as common as a 12 pack of Sharpies. The fact of the matter is it's worth reviewing. These are high quality permanent markers. Without a doubt Sharpie is the trusted name in permanent writing utensils. During my entire life I have been calling black permanent markers as Sharpies, a testament to its popularity. The reason Sharpie is so good is that it is completely safe, and highly permanent and very reliable. For anyone worried about ingestion, or eye contact, or even any other safety situation with a Sharpie, should rest assured. Under all normal circumstances Sharpie is very safe, in fact if you want more information it can be easily accessed from their MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) readily available on their website. Although I myself have been using Sharpies to identify my own clothes, Sanford (the company that produces Sharpies) highly recommends not using it on clothes as it can run or bleed in the wash, and also after time it may leave a yellow halo around the marking. Although Sharpie claims that it will "remain permanent under most chemical washes, and extreme heat and steam (up to 500 degrees F)" it is possible to remove it form clothes. They claim that stain remover can work, but to use extreme caution. A detailed summery of how to clean a stained garment can be found on their website FAQ. Sharpie is the highest quality permanent marker I have ever used, it is used frequently in my workplace, and is always reliable. I suggest it to everyone; it is also made in the U.S.A., which presents a trusted quality. A very good permanent marker, 5 out of 5.

Great for clothes
I use this marker on my socks.I write an "S" on the bottom of each sock to make sure that no one else attempts to claim them.Wash after wash, the letter is still there.

I also use it to write in my school books.I'm in college and books are very expensive.I write my name in all of my books, as well as on my notebooks and disks.

I have accidentally gotten this on my hand more than once.I just wash my hands with soap and water.It may take 2 or 3 hand washings to get it off.

Perfect backpack set
I bought this set for my backpack.It has all of the colors (the description says turquoise, but mine came with 2 yellows). I have used other highlighters, that have cost more, in the past and was pretty disappointed with how long they lasted.

I didn't expect these to last very long because they were cheaper that my old highlighters. Much to my suprise, they have made it through the semester and I will being using the same set again next semester.This has saved me money because in previous semesters, I have to buy at least 2 sets of the Bic highlighters just to name it through the semester.

Editorial Review

There are many inexpensive scientific calculators on the market, but few boast the two-line display and other advanced features users get with the TI-30x IIS. The display shows the equation you are creating on the top line, and the numbers or symbols you are currently entering on the second line. Once the equation is solved, the results are displayed on the second line, and you can use the four arrow keys on the front of the calculator to edit the original equation in any way you like for a recalculation. Better still, pressing the up arrow repeatedly lets you browse through a cache of dozens of previous calculations, meaning you can look back to see the answer to a problem you solved two minutes ago, two days ago, or whenever.

The device uses solar power when possible but can fall back on the internal batteries (which are included) if there isn't enough light. The buttons wiggle around a little too much and require a firm keystroke to register input, but the fact that input can be followed by looking at the output on the first line helps to cut down on mistakes. There is a shift key that doubles the functions of most buttons, and although the TI-30X IIS isn't festooned with as many buttons or functions as some other calculators we've tested in this price range, it's still very capable. There are three angle modes (degrees, radians, and grads), scientific and engineering notation modes, and even one- or two-variable statistical modes. Five variables can also be assigned to their own memory slots. The documentation is lacking, as everything is presented on a single folded sheet of paper, but Texas Instruments did manage to pack several illustrated examples on the page. The calculator comes with a snap-on cover that fits on the back of the device whenyou are using it. The calculator carries a one-year limited warranty. --T.Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Two-line display
• Relatively inexpensive
• Handles one- and two-variable statistical calculations

Cons:

• Weak documentation
• Buttons wiggle a bit too much

For students in math and sciences, or for anyone new to graphing calculators, Texas Instruments has created the TI-83 Plus--a powerful, problem-solving tool with features for storing, graphing, and analyzing up to 10 functions. Plus, it displays graphs and evaluates tables on a split screen, allowing you to trace the graph and scroll through table values simultaneously.

The clear, readable display exhibits 12 characters and eight lines, in 64 x 96 pixels on an LCD screen. The TI-83 Plus has a pragmatic key layout and an easy-to-use graphing interface, with a simple programming language for creating conversion programs. The TI-83 Plus stores and analyzes up to 10 matrices combined with data storage in lists containing up to 999 elements per list. You can also solve equations interactively for different variables.

With the TI-83 Plus, you can view an equation, its graph, and the coordinates all at one time. Jump from point to point by entering a number. Several useful plot types are available, including scatter, box-and-whisker, XY-line, histogram, and normal probability plots. Advanced statistics and regression analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis are readily accessed, along with features for calculus, engineering, financial, logarithm, trigonometry, and hyperbolic functions--all crucial tools for advanced analysis.

Far exceeded my expectations for $20.00.
Bought it for the kids since they were always stealing my expensive Sony, well eventually I lost the Sony, and in a moment of despiration grabed the kids, after scraping all of the gooey kid stuff, and replcing the batteries, I ran out the door to go to my meeting. Upon arriving at the meeting I turned on the recorder and to my surprise it worked flawlessly, I think the sound qualty is actually better, and it is definetly durable, upon returning home I bought a new one of these for myself, and have been very happy with it ever sense, the kids still use the old one and it has been a few months now, I just got interviewed with it last week, and it is still ticking.
