Apple-Accessories Reviews

I don't know why USB cables such as these go for such high prices at Officemax, Target, etc. A regular 6ft USB 2.0 A/B cable at Target costs $10! At Officemax the "gold plated" 10ft USB 2.0 A/B cables are $27!!! Bestbuy was also expensive despite that they are a category killer in electronics.

This cable is great and has a lifetime warranty.

Bottomline: buy your stuff from Amazon.com, where you TRULY get the lowest price possible.

SUPPORT AMAZON.COM and get your stuff here!!

When I purchased this product I thought I was getting a USB version 1 cable. It turned out to be 2.0. Fortunately the package said it was backward compatible and it was.

The book that came with my printer stated I needed a USB cable with a length of no greater than 6 foot, shielded, etc. They should tell you this before you get the printer. Fortunately, the 10 foot cable connected and worked flawlessly. I always try to buy Belkin since they generally have top quality products and good support.

cheapest on amazon. found the same at officemax locallay for $30. what a joke.

Amazon is simply the best in price & service. returining has been been easier in my life.

This network cable feels durable and is 10 ft long so it helps to reach thouse network accessories. The cable is ruged and the covers for the tabs help protect the connection. Bought 2, will by again if more are needed!

works great, but i doubt too many people ever get bad cat5 cables. to me they are all the same.

It's pretty hard to screw up a thing as simple as an ethrnet cable. I guess any ethernet cable would do, but this has been perfect so far.

I strongly recommend this display. NEC makes wonderful displays, and this one is worth every penny. The price Amazon gave me was very competitive, and I had already checked out 5 other online stores. The screen is extremely reflection-free due to the 100% flat screen and proprietory glass screen treatment. That means no reflection from surrounding/overhead lights - and thats a good thing for designers who work with color. The dot pitch is .25, big-assed resolutions with my nVidia 64MB card, so you get very sharp images. Refresh rates are great, and I dont feel fatigue in the eyes even after working long hours on it.
Its not a very "cool" cabinet, but isnt bad either. Its a heavy monster weighing in at 50 lbs, but has a petite footprint. It even has sRGB support, not to mention all the regular featuers such as on-screen controls. The package didnt have a driver CD, but downloading one from the internet was a breeze (nec.com). I use this with Dell, XP and it works great.
Now for the best part. Ordering through Amazon.com was a dream. The site is great, and addressed all my questions from the very start. Customer Services is absolutely incredible, they won my heart. They are most courteous and professional people to do business with. I strongly recommend you buy from Amazon. I know I always will.

The NEC MultiSync FE950+ has a beautiful display and text at higher resolutions is very crisp and clear. At higher resolutions, the text grows fuzzy at 85Hz, but clears up at 75Hz. This monitor is fantastic for gamers as it increased my 3DMark2001 Benchmark Test score by over 100 points. Whether used for games, movies, or just regular computing, this monitor provides an excellent, crisp, display for almost any user.

The NEC FE950+BLK is a striking addition to any desktop's decor, having a small footprint for such a large picture, and the black case... mmm. Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the case and slim, ergonomic design there are details like the cables in the rear (being installed vertically) which save a couple of inches of space behind the monitor... and keep cables from being smashed against a wall, etc.
OK. The picture. Wow, what a picture it is. Crisp, clear, bright, and very nice contrast. THIS is why people seek after flat screen monitors. The colors on-screen are some of the nicest I have seen, being true-to-life colors, which is important to me as a designer. This monitor will push higher resolutions than most in it's class, and it does so with ease. Viewing for hours on end is easy on the eyes, too. What a pleasure.
There are two extremely faint lines on the screen (I dare you to look) from the support wires for the aperture grill that are barely visible. IF you notice these, you can easily get used to, and forget all about them. They certainly are not a distraction and as I mentioned, are barely visible.
This is a keeper. All in all, I am very impressed - and this after trying several monitors first. My wife's NEC FE950 is what turned me on to this one. A nice little investment that I can only think of replacing one day in the future with the NEC 1250+BK, the 21" big brother to the FE950.
Highly Recommended.

I have one of these connected to a Power Mac MDD 867 and it works fine. Like the first reviewer, I used double-sided foam tape to secure the hub to my desk. Connected to it and working fine are a Lexmark printer, Canon scanner (bus-powered), Griffin iMic, Wacom Graphire tablet, Clie dock, Plantronics USB headset, and a Logitech MX710 mouse.

I use USB a lot - I have a variety of devices that use it to communicae with computers, and the couple of sockets that most machines have has long since become inadequate for what I do. At present, I have two Belkin 7-port USB hubs and one 4-port model on various computers around my house and business. They are simple, unassuming, and loyally perform their work with a minimum of trouble. I've tried other hubs, but the Belkins have been by far the most reliable.

This is a plug it in then plug other things into it technology. The only thing you can do wrong is man-handle the connections hard enough to break something. And the Belkin sockets are plenty tough. It comes with it's own power supply which is more than adequate to support devices that draw their energy from the USB connection.

My only gripe is a typical one of all USB hubs - the box isn't heavy enough to overcome the pull of the USB wires. Of course, making it so would significantly effect the price of a very affordable device. This really is only an issue if you have to keep plugging and unpluging things. I gave up and grabbed a roll of double sided tape - end of problem.

I got this to upgrade my Windows 98 SE computer to USB 2.0. I had been told by many people that I would have a very hard time getting it to work because of the age of my computer,however I had it installed and running in fifteen minutes. The directions were clear and best of all I didn't have to take out my old USB 1.1 hub so I now have nine USB ports. I highly recomend this USB card.

While this Apple power adapter way not be anything fancy or elegant by Apple's standards, it is very useful. Aside from its job of powering up your laptop, it has built-in extending arms to wrap your power cord around. This helpful feature reduces clutter.

This stand makes your life easier. Who knew that being able to turn your computer without messing all of the wires, etc. could make such a difference? Also, to be able to adjust the height of the computer so your visual is comfortable is a must. No more neck cricks!

Well, all cat5 cables are pretty much the same. It serves my purpose and works fine. Best of all, it wasn't that expensive and the color doesn't look as bad as the picture.

No, though this cord coils like one, it is not a phone cord. Aside from that minor drawback, this cord functions just fine. Though I wonder how you could rate an ethernet cord for any reason.......

Unlike my other belkins, for some reason this yellow 50 footer seems to want to twist up - like a phone cord liukes to twist up, but not quite so bad. Multiple attempts to untwist have been unsuccesful. Don't know why it's just the yellow one, none of my other belkin cables do this, but there ya go. Not a big problem, really, since it's not like a phone cord that just turns into a gigantic knot, and it'ss till usable and can still be strung along a wall, etc., but it's annoying, just the same.

With a DVD or CD falling into the wrong hands all of your personal financial records, business customer lists, an entire accounting system or more could be lost or used against you. With the growing threat of hazards like identity theft the DVD/CD Shredder provides the protection and peace of mind needed at a very low cost.

...

When information is stored on DVDs and CDs the amount of data and the danger of loss is enormous. Failure to securely dispose of discs containing sensitive data that has become partially obsolete has the potential to destroy you and your business. A single CD holds the equivalent of approximately 80 four-drawer cabinets of text data. One side of a single DVD disc holds about 560 four-drawer cabinets filled with data, seven times CD capacity.

Recording data and information of all types on DVD and CD discs is a growing practice and the problem of secure disposition of old discs is growing faster. When DVDs and CDs are used to store data or back up a system, usually all of the data on a subject is recorded. When changes are made, they are typically to only small parts of the data and when changes are stored, all of the data is re-recorded on a new DVD or CD. The DVD or CD made before the changes still contains much sensitive and valuable information and DVD-Rs and CD-Rs cannot be erased.

Using a DVD/CD Shredder is one step you can take to minimize your risks. Alera Technologies new DVD/CD Shredder permanently destroys the data layers on DVDs and CDs securely preventing unauthorized use. For quick and easy handling, the DVD/CD Shredder will process up to 30 discs per minute, completely destroying the information contained on them and it is equipped with unique autostart/autostop operation.

The DVD/CD Shredder is the ideal security tool for corporate, government, education, and consumer applications.

The DVD/CD shredder is small and compact and weighs about 8 lbs (3.6 kilos). You can easily make room for it on your desktop. This DVD/CD shredder is well worth the money because other methods (e.g.: professional data shredding services) are either more expensive or (when snapping CDs or DVDs in half by hand) downright dangerous. Businesses often store customer, personnel, confidential and manufacturing data on large volumes of CDs. The DVD/CD shredder comes into play offering a powerful security solution when the time comes to destroy data and backups which are no longer needed. The DVD/CD shredder is able to destroy data at a very fast rate - up to 30 DVD/CDs a minute.

As a test I used a CD filled with freeware. I inserted a CD into the insert slot on the machine and it pulled the CD inside. After the CD was ejected I could see ridges throughout the CD (top and bottom layers) making it unreadable and safe from prying eyes. In order to test the manufacturer's promise I inserted the CD into a computer drive and tried to read the data. The computer gave me a hour glass and was unable to load the CD.

Success! I now use it on all my test CDs before going in the trash.

not exactly snagless--lacks protective tubing

I purchased this with a Linksys 4 port router and both worked great, I had Xbox live(beta) up and running in no time and the snagless feature is great. and while the blue is very nice i wish they had a greeen to go with my box:(

Has a nice smooth feel to it, good solid connectors that won't break quickly. Belkin makes great cables.
