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.

This is the best feels just like the ps2 controllers, no delay, battery life last a very long time it will surprise you, there is no other controller to have if you have a baby in the house its the best just give it a try you'll never go back I'm going back to the store to buy another one hehe

Sure, a little pricey, but worth it. I did some online review hunting and this seemed to be the one to get. Was a little tricky finding it through Amazon's search, not sure why. It's great. Feels nice, substantial but not heavy, buttons don't feel cheap or gimmicky. I'll never go with a cable laden controller again. Never drops out, connection solid. No problems. Battery life is pretty sweet too.

One thing I always hated about game consoles was the constant tripping over tangled wires. Wires intersecting each other, making a mess of things.

Enter the Logitech Cordless Action Controller!! This is without a doubt one of the best controllers I've ever used! The controllers is very well made. The feel of it is very natural in your hands, though slightly different than the original PS2 Dual Shock. There's a nice satin like finish that prevents alot of dirt from your hands from making the controller too slippery. There is literally no notciable lag or delay in the controller's operation. The controllers 2.4 ghz signal ensures that you won't miss any of the action. Every function of the original is reproduced faithfully. Installation is extremely simple. Plug the reciever into your PS2's controller port and simpley press the action button to get a signal. There is also a button on the reciever to make the connection if needed. The battery life (the controller takes two AA batterys) is approximatley 300 hours without the vibration mode and 50 hours with the vibration mode on. A small sacrifice to make for a great product such as this.

I really can't say enough good things about this product. It's great if you have small children in the house especially. No more worrying if they are going to trip and drag the console across the room. In fact this is such a great controller I'm considering buying a second!

Great size and light power..I use flashlights for work and this 3 C battery model has been my favorite for years.

Mag lite flashlights to me are the best that are on the market today for the money. This 3 "C" cell flashlight is alot more lightweight than its heavier counterparts and is very bright, don't let its size fool you this is a very powerful flashlight and it is also constructed from high quality aircraft aluminum and is waterproof. I give it my full endorsement to anyone who is interested.

I keep one of these flashlights in both of my vehicles. They provide a lot of light from a fairly small package. Buying the "C" battery version allows you all of the benefits of a Maglight - brightness, durability, etc. but its light weight makes it less cumbersome to carry. You won't find a better flashlight that this.

I bought this with a Magellan sportrak pro GPS unit. I already knew about the connector being shared with the data port, but since I don't have a laptop, I didn't want to waste the extra money to get the dual cable.
This item does exactly what it is supposed to. It works great on long drives when I don't have to worry about draining the batteries down to a point where I can't use the GPS unit at the destination. Attaching and detaching the connector using the D-rings is a little more involved than something that can just be plugged into the GPS, but obviously, making the GPS submersible involved compromises like this. I can live with that.

This power adapter does the job. It's neat because it can handle a wide range of voltage inputs. It has a small in-line power box that adjusts the input to fit the needs of the Meridian. The problem I had is that I bought it before realizing the power and the computer connection both use the same strange I/O connector. So if you use this adapter, you can't connect to your laptop. The solution is to buy the more expensive dual cable version that has both battery cord and serial cable attached.
-P-

I'm also a Geocacher, and I have to say this is a great product! I've been wasting money on rechargable batteries, but now I don't even have to worry about batteries at all. Good for long trips, too; because you don't even have to have batteries at all. A must-have for anyone owning a Meridian GPSr!

A high-quality CD-R with a counterintuitive BLACK reflective surface, what can be cooler than this? I have used these discs for 3 years and none of them went wrong. Just love them that much. Strongly recommended.

after looking for some cheap cd-r's i found these about a month ago, and ordered one pack. Now I only have 3 cds left and I've ordered two more spindles. These cds are great. High-quality, no defects/problems, even the spindle they come on is durable and useful. the price makes these a bargain. if you are going to burn a lot of stuff to cd, then order several packs of these, you won't be disappointed

I bought several packs of these CDR's back in 2002 and I was never able to find them again! I kept buying whatever was on sell or whatever I could use rebates for. Boy, was I a moron! I have used almost every brand of CDR and the one I remember are these - most of my cd collection are these and none of them have ever gone bad - even when I barely scratched them or if they had a slight smudge. I am definitely impressed with these.
Not only are they a good quality, but they are an awesome price also!
I am back to using them, baby!

Ok, it is sad I am so psyched about these. Please do not make fun of me until you try these yourself.

THis is the best controller I ever used, I play infantry with a name 2xtremz[-4jd-] , and Sectoid plays with one too. We both find it the best thign to play with. We r the 2 best players in Infantry now. No Lies!~~ This works great with any internet game bette than any other Sidewinder Model. BUY IT!!!

I owned this gamepad for years now and it's the best in the biz. It always seemed ironic to me that with such reliable reference designs (sega genesis 6-button, PS2 dual shock), companies couldn't make a decent PC gamepad. Well, here it is-- for those of you loving emulators at least-- and I'm gonna pay through the nose to get the mysteriously discontinued USB version for my laptop.

This has to be the best game controller ever made for the PC.

It has plenty of buttons and everything else.

Works great with every version of Windows from 95 to XP!

Best Feature: Daisy Chaining

I currently have 4 of these, and they are all plugged into my single joystick/midi port!

I normally use these for EA sports titles, and with 4, I can have 4 people playing at once!

If you buy one, you will not regret it!

If you want to get the very best out of your video equipment, definitely upgrade your cable to Monster cables. We couldn't figure out why our picture on our 52" TV looked so inferior, despite having satellite -- turned out to be nothing more than inferior cables that came with the set! Even if you have new equipment, it may come with cheaply made cables. Monster cables are excellent -- worth every penny! I also bought some to connect one VCR to another when copying tapes. If you have older equipment and aren't happy with the quality of the picture, this is an inexpensive fix! You'll be glad you did it!

I agree with Max. Don't use those inferior cables that come with your DVD player. I just bought a DVD player and immediately got these Monster cables to connect between the TV and DVD. Image quality is the best I can get on my 20" TV, really cool.

I use these cables with my DVD player. I didn't want to spend($) or ($) on just cables! Also, I didn't want the crappy cables that came with my DVD player. If you are using the video cables that came with your DVD player, throw them out! Get these. They are sooo much better. Amazon says these are good for VCRs but you have to have a good VCR to appreciate Monsters.

Anyway, if you don't want to spend a ton of money on cables, and want quality, choose these.

I'm not the world's leading authority on powered speakers, but these are pretty darned good for close-up listening--that is, if you are using them as computer speakers. The sound has a lot of body and "dimensionality" (for lack of a better word). They are a little wimpy if you are trying to fill a room with sound, but even for that, they are tolerable.

Convenient to set up and use, and nice design. Only possible drawback in this regard is that they are not designed to be hung or mounted--only freestanding.

I have tried many speaker systems with my computer, including many that were quite a bit more expensive, but have always returned to the Logitech Soundman X1. The speakers give very good stereo presence and clarity in a very small package. This system is also very good for individuals who do not have a lot of room on their desktops.

First of all excuse for my english. I just got the Logitech SoundMan X1. It's incredible. The sound of guitar and bass are astonishing. This is my favorite gift from all i receive for christmas. If you like blues, go buy this system.

This is the first GPS I have bought. What a steal at $229.00 on amazon.com. It was very easy to use once you are familiar with the interface. I didn't really need the handbook to figure most things out. I highly recommend it.

I needed to find an address to a birthday party in a city that I wasn't familiar with. I typed in the street name via "gaming genre" A-Z list. The 1st street on the list of many streets in many different cities was the one I was looking for. Listed by closest destination, I guess. Anyway I pushed enter & it drew a route for me. I also entered the address. I decided to take a different (freeway) route which is longer than the suggested route. Since I disregarded the 1st turn, the turn instruction display stayed there throughout the entire trip until I reached the target street. At which point it guided me to the right address on the street with the highlighted route line. Anyhoo, I did not need directions to get to the general area of this city. I just needed details, which the unit provided perfectly.

The cursor moves diagonally too, though not marked.

I have no experience with any other GPS systems. I can only say, as a novice, that I love Sportrak Color!

$229 is a steal. Get one!

I purchased the Sportrak Color from Amazon for $229. My local retail stores listed it at $349-$499. The reviewer that stated that the this unit is hard to use and is non-intuitive gave me great pause before purchasing it. With such a great price vs. all other listings, I went for it anyway. I'm very pleased with the system. As a complete GPS novice and as a test of the systems ease of use, I did not read the instruction manual. I only turned to the page that identified the functionality of each button. Anyone who has ever used a computer or played a video game can operate this unit intuitively.

I also purchased the MapSend Direct route software. I uploaded most of Michigan on it and started browsing streets in my general area that would require several turns to reach. I put the cursor on a street and pushed the GOTO button. It instantly asked me if I would like to go there. Neat, huh? I used the unit in my vehicle, laying it down in the center console. It guided me to the street with audible prompts, visual direction arrows, and street names to turn at.

I don't claim to know anything about GPS, but I love it.

I intend to use it for street directions and fishing spots.

It has a compass, barometer, altimeter, Color disply, and is VERY easy to use.
