Notebook Reviews

I have a Panasonic DV-51 (cool camcorder for beginner) and this bag is just the right thing for it. It has 2 front zipped pockets which can hold the cables and adapter/charger. You will have to squeeze in the tapes and extra battery with the camcorder. You can resize compartments inside the bag. This helps to make space for batteries, tapes etc. You wont be able to use this bag for Sony Digital8 camcorders as they are pretty big and will be the only thing which you can fit in the available space. I would advise against using this bag for any camcorder heavier/bigger than the Panasonic PV-DV51.

This camera bag is exactly what I needed. The design is not bulky, but slim, making the bag comfortable to tote on long walks. I use it as an accessory bag as opposed to a camera bag.
But this bag is well constucted, lightweight and looks good. It can serve as either a bag for a large camera and some accessories or the accessories themselves, such as conversion lens.

I'd been looking for an inexpensive bag for my new Olympus E-100 RS for a couple of months . Most bags were too small or too big for the camera. This one is just right. Very reasonably priced too.

This visor does not fit well on my two vehicles. The spacing on the velcro loops needs to be about 1/2" wider to both not obstruct the mirror, or get caught in the little bar that holds the car's visor and allows it to rotate up and down.

This is a neat CD holder, as it's got its straps for its Sun Visor location, as you should put all your drive-like stuff here, and then it'll be a good reference. Not shabby. Really.

I love this! It's easily attatched and has lots of room for cd's and other stuff.

I bought this item based on the first review since I own a Tungsten T3 and many items that are also compatible with T3 don't state so.
Ok, I just got the case and guess what? It doesn't fit!!!
The T3 is actually taller than the case, and though the case can actually close with the palm inside, the upper part of Tungsten T3 keeps exposed.
So, don't do the same mistake I did. It's not compatible with T3.

I purchased a Rhino Skin for my T3 It is probobly one of the best things I have done . The case functions easly and clips to your belt securly. The only problem is you can't use the cradle with it on or i would give it 5 stars.

This is the perfect case for my Tungsten T2. The two slots for extra cards are great and work wonderfully. The fit is snug without being too tight and you can easily sync without removing the T2 from the case. the only problem is that I often hit the record button when trying to open the snap enclosure. This is solved by placing your thumb higher on the side of the palm to get it open.

The Targus Defcon fingerprint security device itself is works fine. However, the SecureSuite 3.1 software that comes with it suffers from a number of bugs and inconveniences:

1) It does not work with Windows XP
2) It hangs the MS Internet Explorer when accessesing a page with two password fields.
3) It does not support network user accounts, only local logons.
4) It makes attaching to network file and print shares troublesome.

These problems make the device unusable in many typical workplace or home networking environments.

Supposedly there is a software package available free from Targus to provide security for Windows XP. However, the version of SecureSuite (3.5) that reportedly resolves the above problems for Windows 2000 users is not yet available from Targus.

My advice: Don't buy this device until it comes with software that works in real-world computing environments.

this is officially one of the coolest things i've seen in a while, but my obscure mind begs a question...

what if you had a twin? identical, same fingerprints? i know, odds are against it, but think about it! sensitive data and an evil twin... this worries me.

On a direct comparison of Biometric Capture Devices for finger prints this is the best that I have used, and I use many.

The advantages of this device are:
1. Faster than the older/larger chipset.
2. Convienient USB hub so that you don't loose a port for a device you use only to logon and unlock.
3. Easier to get used to than other finger print devices (print placement).
4. easer to use on any of your ten fingers, as with a bio enabled mouse you may find that you can only easily use your right thumb.

My recomendation though is not to use the software bundled with the device, but to get SAFsolution Enterprise Eddition SAFlink Co. (OTC:BB-SFLK) and use that, as it works for local and network accounts, and can be centrally deployed for domain wide security.

All this time, I've been complaining about this CD case because it is so difficult to take the CDs out of each patented bubblesleeve page. You can fit two CDs on each page.

Now, after reading here that the sleeves clip in and out! Who knew. Sure, I didn't check before. So, sure, then it is much easier to get the darn CD out of the page.

The problem I was having was getting the box to open enough so you could take CDs in and out of the pages. Frankly, taking the actual page OUT of the box is easier. Enlightenment.

The inside of the case is most plush with a velvet lining.
This snaps shut and has ELEVEN (not twelve as in the notes avove) pages with room for 22 CDs OR 11 CDs and the booklets.

So, it seems if you want to move your CDs around a bit here and there or make up specific cases of various selections, this might be for you.

I'm sitting here feeling sad I ever threw the CD cases away. But hey, everyone does something stupid once in their lives.

Recommended for the patient soul who wants their CDs to be well protected. Durable and stackable and travel well.

Yeah, they look pretty neat too. All sparkly like silver glitter nail polish.

Overall this is a pretty good case. It holds up to the conditions and wont dent unless you take an icepick to it. The only drawbacks i found with it were that it didn't open very far, it was difficult to get the cds out of the pages without scratching them, and that it doesnt hold very many cds.

Before you buy this case i would suggest that you think about how many cds you really want to be able to take with you. Other than that it is a great buy.

I use this to carry playstation games when we travel. The playstation is indispensible for long minivan trips with kids. PS games generally cost much more than CDs and cannot be copied to a backup with a CD-burner. This little case has taken several dents, been stomped by toddlers and rambunctious kids, and gotten knocked around with luggage in the back of the van. It still works just fine and the disks inside are pristine.

Cosmetically not the coolest disk case, but functionally a wise investment for travel.
