It's much better than I expected. It's sturdy and nice looking, with all the functions as the manufacture describes. It even comes with a piece of instruction to assist you to know this tripod better. With this kind of price, I am totally satisfied. Maybe just one little thing here: I agree with one of the reviews here: It'd be great if it comes with a carrying bag. Well, it's OK by me.

I was considering spending $95 for a sturdy tripod but felt it was too much of money to spend on a tripod so decided to check out this model.
Since this model was much cheaper than the one I had my eyes on, I was skeptical about its build quality. You shouldn't. This is a very well made and sturdy product. They even include extra quick release platform with bubble level (so you know if the camcorder is placed even). This is really handy if you have more than one camera or have both camera & camcorder. You can just quickly release camera without screwing/unscrewing from the tripod. I am sure you can find better built tripod but this unit does the job for a casual user like me. I highly recommend this unit and considering its price, it's a bargain!

I was amazed with the price tag and the features this tripod was offereing and immediately switched to this one when I read about it.
Its been one of my best choices in terms of quality, fetures and price. The extra quick release plate gives you a lot of flexibility if you have two photo devices. The high - tilt adjustment are superb.

Sunpack could have been more innovative with providing a handle to carry the tripod. Providing a carry bag would have been really great, particularly when others are offering the same. But thats too much to ask for this price.

Overall this is a must buy item.

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.

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.

I got this in the mail today and I am very pleased. I thought it might be too small for my notebook (which has a 15" screen) like so many other cases were, but it fits very nicely with room to spare. I also like all the compartments. Its great for a student like myself with room for ID, cell phone, books, pens, etc. It it also very light and not too bad to look at. Great choice.

I support and install internet telephony solutions for a broad range of business customers. I have tried many headphone solutions. This is by far the best headset I have ever used. My customers all report 5 star feedback as well.
The sound is crisp and clean... Suprisingly rich audio.
The microphone is crystal clear to those listening on the other end. I would recommend this headset to anyone that needs professional quality. And the price is great too!
Thanks Amazon!

This is a great little headset! It is light and comfortable, which are two very important factors if you plan to use it for long stretches of time. More importantly, the microphone delivers excellent sound quality for both voice recognition and for voice recording, such as for narrating presentations or movies. The microphone is quite directional; you can have music going at a reasonable level in the room, and the microphone will pick up your voice with no problem. This headset is a great value.

If you are looking for a good headset at a good price, this is the one!

I purchased this headset about a year ago. Anyone who uses a headset on a regular basis knows that most reasonably priced headsets are not so reasonably durable. This headset, however, is well-made and has stood the test of time for me.

The headpiece is rubbery soft and adjustable. The earpieces are extremely comfortable, do not cause uncomfortable pressure on the ears, and provide clear-as-a-bell sound quality. The mic allows 2-way adjustment. It can be moved horizontally and vertically to allow the best position for speech reception and comfortability.

I have used this headset to communicate with friends and family over the internet through voice-enabled (VOIP) messenger services such as MSN Messenger. Those individuals reported they could hear me just as clear as if we were talking to one another on the telephone.

The manufacturer provides added convenience to this headset by including a USB adapter. This eliminates the need to unplug your computer speakers in order to plug in the headset.

Also, the headset cord is lengthy enough for those who need the ability to stand up and move around their desk space.

I am please to say that out of the many headsets I've used, this one is the best performing, most comfortable, & most durable.I'd even go so far as to say that it is of higher overall quality than other name-brand headsets that cost much more. The Telex H-841 USB Digital Computer Headset is a true bargain at this price.

I CANT BELIEVE HOW WELL AND REAL THIS SMALL BOX SOUNDS. EVEN IN OPEN SPACES LIKE PORCHES AND TERRACES. THE FM RECEPTION IS OUTSTANDING. THIS IS THE BEST RADIO I HAVE EVER HEARD BY FAR (YES, INCLUDING THE BOSE WAVE RADIO).

I have owned two PAL radios for a year and I am about to buy two more as gifts. The sound is incredible for the size, the battery life is long, the tuning sensitivity and rejection of adjacent stations is terrific. I carry one around the house as I do work and we bring one when we travel.

I've owned a Tivoli PAL radio now for several months -- it is most amazing. Not only is the sound incredible and clear, but from this small box, you *think* you're hearing stereo, as well as a wonderful bass with good highs and mids.
You can hook up a portable CD player or MD to the mini-plug in back and get wonderful sound as well. The analogue dial pulls in radio stations really well, and the antenna makes it work even in the trouble spot I live in.
Based on this model, I purchased other Tivoli products and they all are stupendous. I cannot say enough good abou these audio products!

This little radio is simply amazing. I got it for motorcycle touring, where space is at a premium, so I could have tunes in hotels and campsites. The radio is tiny, the sound quality is just great. It's a little odd getting used to mono, but any further away than a few feet, the difference is not noticable. Combined with my iPod, this is pretty much the perfect sound system for travelling. It's pricey, but it's worth every penny.

First, I agree with the prior reviewers that the sound quality is almost unbelievably good for a unit this size.

I now own 27 (yes, 27!) of these, and use them to distribute XM throughout my house as follows: Delphi XM receiver to Sangean FM transmitter (from ccrane-dot-com) to Tivoli PAL. Prior to hearing the PAL, I wouldn't have thought a small monaural unit would provide acceptable sound in a small room; the PAL does.

The FM tuner had excellent sensitivity (ability to pick up weak stations), yet many radios do. What sets the PAL apart is its exceptional selectivity (ability to receive a realtively weak station that is wedged between two nearby, and stronger, stations).

And, for what its worth, when I dropped one into a swimming pool, it floated.

You could say between my fiance and myself we've started a collection of the PAL radios, we own three so far, a black, blue and yellow and I'm trying to decide between the Red or Green for my next purchase. These radios are fantastic and reliable and are great for gifts!
The size of this radio was what appealed to me but only after I had it at home and realized all the places it fit. the radio has such a small footprint that it fit in the corner of my bathtub, and sits on my windowsill while I wash dishes. My fiance has one that he leaves plugged in the wall which always keeps his battery fully recharged at all times. The reception has always been reliable on both AM and FM and I can always count on my PAL for the Red Sox games while in the yard with the dog.
I've given close to ten of these radios away within the last two years and everyone loves them! You get your choice between eight different colors which appeals to even the youngest recipient who was nine and was ecstatic about owning her very own RED "grown up radio" she took it outside with her often and her favorite station she listened to was Radio Disney. For convenience this radio can be ordered directly from www.tivoliaudio.com and will ship directly to the gift recipient if you choose. I can't say enough about these radios only that if you don't own one you're missing out!
Kudos Tivoli Audio!

I've had a standard monitor for a few years now but for the last few months have been shopping for a good LCD flat screen at a good price. I came across this one and it had good reviews and was at a good price so I figured I'd give it a shot. Well I'm very happy I did. For the price this LCD is awesome and I'd highly recommend it to friends and family. The set up was super easy and only took about 3 minutes. Well thats it really, enjoy if you buy it, you won't be disappointed.

This seems to be a re-named model of what I have (VA520), so I'm going to throw my two cents in.

I got one of these babies for Christmas last year and have loved every moment of it! The first one I got had a single dead pixel in the middle of the screen and had to be exchanged, but that's no big deal - just be sure to open a blank browser screen or something to check. Anyway, the colors are great, I can keep the monitor further away from my keyboard (easier on the eyes), the Auto Adjust feature works great but can be turned off if you don't like it (just hit one button to manually auto adjust..."manually auto"...you know what I mean). Since getting the replacement I haven't had a single problem. Everyone who comes in comments on what a hot, snazzy monitor I have now.

With the quality and price of this monitor, there's no real reason not to invest in one.

I bought this monitor as a replacement for my wife's computer. I couldn't believe it was a monitor when it was delivered - it was so light and small. Installation was a breeze and the image quality is terrific! Could not be happier.

I had some initial installation problems (my own stupidity, not any fault of the RAM), but after I sorted that out the RAM is great. I would recommend it to anyone!

Plugged it in, it worked, so it gets a good rating. Hey,
this is RAM, not a Spielberg movie.

I installed this memory in a 400 Mhz Celeron PC with a 66 Mhz bus that I bought in 1998 to take it to it's max capacity of 256 Meg (two 128 meg Dimms). I wasn't sure if it would work for a 66 Mhz bus, but it works great and is an amazing deal. Since I mostly surf the web and use microsoft office applications, I think I just extended the life of this PC for at least one more year, at which point I will pass it down to my 7 yr old and get a new pc.

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.
