Apple Reviews

This is a very fast, very good card that provides sharp text, great 2d-imaging, and blazing gaming on the Macintosh. It also has very good Full-Screen-Anti-Aliasing (FSAA), which smooths out images on the screen to make them look more natural as if they were real. If you own a macintosh and are into image editting, gaming, or just plain use your mac a lot, this is a great card that delivers graphics that are very pleasing to the eyes!

I bought this product, and it turned out to work fine, but I had trouble getting it started. For instance, for the sound in, you need to configure it, but in the instruction book you are supposed to put "sound in", when it is really "NT1004". Also, you can't run the program through classic, because it won't capture the video, so youi have to restart the computer in OS 9.2. The product is good, but the instructions are very bad.

You really pay extra for the built-in printserver (compared to the 1440 model) but I think its worth it to hook up to your ethernet network. I have mine on an Mac airport wireless network and it works great. There have been a few adobe postscript errors when printing .pdf documents. The print quality is superb. Once you've had a laser, you never want to go back to inkjet and all that bother of constantly replacing ink cartriges.

I got this product because I was going to take a Multimeda course at my school, and this was one of the chepest good ones out there. It took a little but to get used to, but in the end it scanned the pictures fast,and was very easy. The software that came with it was great.

Great software for the novice. Easy to use, easy to make prints. Does not have all the bells and whistles as the more expensive photo software, but if you just want to print pictures, simple picture modifications, make funny photos, cards, and do not want to spend hours trying to figure out how to use the software; then this one is perfect.

I found this was a wonderful scanner. My only complaint is I paid about [amount] more than the SE model for the extra software and discovered all were obsolete and not the full versions. The OCR software was useless, and if you read the Amazon reivews you will find there is a better package from another company.
I did not purchase the fireware adapter but will soon since to speed things up. My advice is buy the SE model instead, and purchase the software on your own.
Epson scanners are great!

I bought a used computer from a co-worker and everything was great except that the computer had no 3.5 floppy drive. I was considering buying an internal drive, but I saw the Imation 1.44mb external drive at an electronic stores and decided to get it. The unit is has a very small form and will sit happily on top of your computer case. You attach a USB cable to it and to a USB port of your computer. There is a supplied disk included for installation. The floppy drive worked on the very first boot. The only downside of the unit is that the USB cable that comes with the floppy drive is a little short so if you are thinking about putting this drive on your table, it won't be possible. Other than this, the unit is rock solid and a good alternative to buying an internal floppy drive as a backup.

I'm actually typing this on a frogpad while I eat my lunch with the other hand( an unexpected ....bonus?). I bought the Frogpad to help fend off wrist trouble brought on by typing on laptops held stable with wrist strength. The Frogpad is very easy to travel with and allows me to have my shoulders much more open and my typing hand at any angle to the screen. The keys themselves have excellent travel and click.

I've only been using the Frog for a week or so, so I can't answer the all important questions of speed and learning time. I'm about 13wpm right now, down from 78ish on a qwerty. Learning is MUCH faster than the handykey twiddler (I gave up after a month without breaking 10wpm.) The strength of the Frogpad's frequency based chords really shines through. I'll be fumbling for the "z" one second, then I'll rip out an optimised word like "neither" at qwerty speed. The Frog is different enough that my hand gets tired, but some of that is probably me tensing up when I don't need to.

There are some bugs and gotchas: the first Frogpad I bought didn't work on OS X (It was fine on xp and linux). A new model has that fixed.
Most Unix commands are set up for qwerty and require more effort. "#!/bin/sh" or regex is possible on the Frog, but not as free as English. And the Frog is right hand only. I would love to flip a switch and mirror the keys for left hand use.

I am in medical school and do A LOT of printing at home. I am can't really address how this printer works in an office environment, but it is great at home! I had a Epson photo inkjet before buying the HP. The Epson was a good printer, but I was going through ink cartridges like crazy!

The HP Business inkjet 2280 has worked out great for me. The ink cartridges are expensive, but last a VERY long time (4 cartridges, Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ...). In fact, they last long enough, that I can buy the cartridges over a pretty extended period of time as I can afford them!

The printer is very fast and high quality. I was having trouble getting my previour printer adjusted correctly for printing photographs. I plugged in the HP and printed one out without any adjusting anything, just to see how it looked. It came out great!

Another good feature is that it has a pretty large capacity for paper.

The only drawback is that this printer is relatively loud. It isn't really that big of a deal, but I was not expecting it, and was very suprised. You might want to go to a store and print out a sample for yourself to see how much noise it makes. Like I said, it really hasn't been a problem, but it was unexpected.

One more thing about the ink. With some of my other previous printers, I have resorted to buying "off brand" ink from internet supplies. As far as I can tell, that is not an option with this printer.

Overall, I am VERY happy with this printer!

The Good:

Very fast very clear, 6-10 seconds to print 1st page. I got an avg. of 51 pages per min. (HP says 45 PPM)

1200 x 1200 dpi with REt, UltraPrecise toner, HP ProRes 1200, HP FastRes 1200.

Paper: 10 envelopes-optional envelope feeder for 75 envelopes, Letter, legal, executive, No. 10 envelopes, Monarch envelopes,(plain, letterhead, prepunched, bond, color, preprinted, recycled), transparencies, labels, card stock, user-defined up to 20lb media weight.

Memory: 4300 64MB. 4300dtn,4300dtns, 4300dtnsl, 4300n, 4300tn 80MB. Max Memory 416MB

Get the base model 4300 and add the print server card (JetDirect 615N). The price is better. Memory is not expensive now so you can add 128MB if you need more than 64MB, that will be less than buying the 4300 w/ the print server.

The Bad:

IEEE 1284-compliant parallel interface port, NO USB. NO Print to/from Bluetooth, infrared built in.

One-year limited warranty; RETURN to HP ONLY You will pay to ship this 65lb Monster to HP for repair.
