Great Calculator Overall
This is a pretty powerful calculator that's in the same league as the TI-89. And if you prefer RPN, like I do, then you'll have to go for this one. The build of the calculator is much improved from the HP 49g+ and the feel of the keyboard is similar to that of the HP 48g, although the keys are harder to press and the legends are painted on instead of double shot molded. The calculator does feel sturdy but the plastic makes it feel cheap. The symbolic integration and differentiation doesn't always work well and some nasty integrals will give nasty results. The TI-89's table lookup might work better for some integrals but I'm sure this calculator can integrate some integrals that the TI can't handle. However the calculator is much faster then the older 48's and the CAS is much improved in terms of usability. 3D graphing is so smooth and fast... although I doubt I'll be doing anything heavy on a small calculator when computers are prevelant. This is not a perfect product, but neither is the TI-89 or the HP-48G. Highly recommended for any scientist, especially the chemists out there who hate math, like I do.
Power for now AND the future
I have been an HP calcualtor user for the past 22 years.After I went through two battery chargers on my dad's TI-59 that he gave to me, I gave it back to him and bought an HP 41CX.I'm STILL using that calculator today, and I use it virtually every day.
An HP Calculator to be Proud Of
I thought that I would never own another HP graphing calculator after I purchased an hp49g some years ago.I am a huge fan of RPN and own an hp33s which I think is great for its features and usability.The hp50g is not for the beginner, this is a power calculator for college students in math or engineering, professionals, and firmware hobbyists.This calculator just works out of the box.The keys are firm but responsive, unlike the hp49g which required lots of force to activate the buttons.Also I haven't been able to find any errors in the calculations, also unlike the hp49g which required a firmware upgrade to correct blatant math errors.I think this latest model restores some hope for hp's future offerings - it's not just a printer cartridge company any more...

This is real nice
I had originally ordered the Mio heart rate monitor . There were just too many problems with that . I have 10 stents in my heart and a defibrillator/pacemaker . I was concerned that the magnet in the Polar chestband might interfere with all the metal that was recently placed in my body . I contacted my doctors ,the manufacturer of my defibrillator ,and Polar . I do not wear the strap as indicated but wear it on my side opposite my heart and implant . It works just fine .I can set my own target zone according to my doctors , and when I am out of the zone the watch lets me know , usually I am too high and then know to slow it down . I have compared the readings of this monitor with taking my pulse the old fashioned way and it is accurate . Nice piece of equipment .You won't go wrong with this company .
After 3 years....
This was a gift after I had a heart attack just after my 43rd birthday.I use it daily at the gym and while I walk at home.It is an indispensible tool for me.Even after all this time, it remains working well.
Great product
I first learned about this heart monitor at my gym and had to have one. The manufacturer sells it for twice the price Amazon sells it for. Great price and a neat heart monitor. If you own a high end treadmill or elliptical they will pick up the heart rate from the Polar B3 and display it for you. Super.

Good deal for the price!!
I did quite a bit of research about webcams...which one might be a good enough tradeoff between quality and price. I must say I made a pretty good decision. This ones worth its price tag (got it for $32); it wont give you awesome quality; but its quite decent. Hassle-free setup, no software problems (actually I never use the software...just start video chats in MSN/Yahoo) and got decent enough quality without any real adjustments. The built-in mic is very satisfactory too. All in all, if you are looking for a medium-range priced webcam (and you dont have a mic either) which wont show shoddy and crappy images, this ones for you!!
pathetic low ligh performance
Got this one for the sleek looks and thought it would be great product.. unfortunately i'm shattered with its performance. the images are too grainy, dark and you will look like a ghost unless you are in daylight...or maybe in floodlights.
So so webcam
Ok, the deal with this webcam is not the picture, the image is great and has a fast response. The thing is that the software that comes with needs some work, every time you want to use it you have to unplug it, connect it, wait for it to setup, THEN, if you are lucky, you are good to go, but sometimes you have to repeat the process a couple of times.

DO NOT BUY BROTHER 2070N IF YOU NEED A NETWORK PRINTER
This company (Brother) is totally ignorant on networking. They have based networks on "AUTOIP" which is irrelevant to office and home networking. Therefore, it does not configure on regular DHCP configuration.
Excellent
good quality and design. very easy to setup with network. you can not misschance to get this last printer for less $100.
Quite Nice
I purchased this laser printer because it has Network capabilities at low cost.It is very fast.I have an older much more expensive HP laser and the start up time to print is much slower than this model.Of course that probably has something to do with age (3 yrs old).

Good but not great...
which is a disappointment. I had waited anxiously for this mouse as I had waited for the MX1000 Laser mouse that I absolutely loved but found a tad heavy.
The best mouse you can buy
This mouse is incredible.This mouse is incredibly adjustable.You can change pointer speed, horizontal scroll speed, vertical scroll speed and acceleration.Being it a laser, it is fast and precise.The side scroll allows you to toggle between all of the applications you have open in a blink, a must for multi taskers.My favorite part of this mouse is the scroll wheel.This just blew me away.This is a "smart" mouse in every sense of the word.You can change to what they call free scrolling with just a click.And that means no clicking in the scrolling.Scroll to the bottom of a ridiculously long document in a few seconds, no joke.The one thing that has always got my goat on mice is the scrolling.Most of them do no scroll smoothly.Half of them end up getting caught somehow while you're scrolling and the page jumps either up or down.Either way, when you're scrolling slowly with other mice, there's no such thing as keeping a rhythm in scro
