New Accessories Moshi Classic Alarm Clock High Quality Practical Excellent Performance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like the looks of this alarm clock and Voice Recognition is a cool technology, no doubt.
But the developers missed two major things:
- the clock not support 24 hour mode -- how difficult could that possibly be?? (very easy)
- the clock does now adjust time automatically as an atomic clock!
I think these are two MUST HAVE features! (I returned my Moshi) - a third thing to fix would be Celsius instead of Fahrenheit temp display (very easy to implement)I think the developers were pretty short-sighted. Had they built those features in, the clock would have been perfect, and they could have sold it world-wide.
Without those features, it's just a poorly implemented and overpriced clock.

AT&T Quicksilver USB Connect Card (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got a new Apple Macbook Air version 2, and wanted to be really really flexible when traveling, so I added this new USB 3G card to the mix. The card is only a few weeks old at this time, and so the Mac drivers have to be downloaded directly from the manufacturer's website, as AT&T only includes the Windows drivers in the package. I can understand in the rush to get the card out they probably focused on the more widely used windows drivers, and I had no problem downloading the latest mac driver and instruction sheet from the manufacturer's website.
I did run into 2 stumbling blocks. First this thing is bigger in real life than the picture would make it seem. I thought it would be more like my small USB memory cards in size, and so when I saw it for the 1st time at the AT&T store I was a little surprised how big it is. In fact it's too bulky to fit into my Macbook Air's USB Port - there is just not enough clearance, so I had to buy a USB extension cable, which actually kind of worked out ok because I can put it nearer the window and away from the computer for better 3G reception.
The other stumbling block was a misleading direction in the otherwise very clear installation manual to leave the "APN" field blank on the Mac software. I wasn't able to connect even though everything looked good to me and the AT&T tech on the phone until he asked what the APN was set to. Turns out for AT&T, they use "isp.cingular" in all lower case with no user-name or password as the APN for all the data connect cards. Once I set that up I was working fine, with very decent 3G speeds.
So it seems to work fine so far after a few days of use now, and I finally have that go anywhere laptop experience I was always wishing for.

Apple Ibook G4 1ghz LEOPARD 10.5 OFFICE 2004 512mb 30gb DVD/CDRW WIFI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an iMac in my office and I like it very much. So, when it came time for buying a home computer, I got the same iMac, but got the version with the larger screen and more memory at the advice of my wife. Well, we've blown two hard drives on the home iMac (covered under warranty, except for the lost files) and I'm rather annoyed. Nevertheless, I really like it as a computer. Alas, my wife likes it too and she's constantly working on eBay things. Too much so, in my opinion. I've been constantly on her for working at the computer all the time and blocking my usage. As a solution, she gave me an iBook G4 for Christmas (1907).
I really like this little iBook. It's been completely trouble free, and in that respect is better than either of my iMacs. It's fast and my enjoyment of working on it greatly increased after I purchased a Mighty Mouse to go with it. I'm a college professor and I give about 12 classroom lectures per week. I also give visiting lectures (about 2 per month) all over Southern California. I store my PowerPoint presentations in the computer and it works out very well. I simply walk into a classroom or hall, plug in the equipment and I'm ready to go. Everything works real well, as long as I'm the one setting it up. When others have set it up, I've had a couple problems which they then blame on Apple equipment. There's an "Apple Phobia" that's widely prevelant. That's nonsense. It's their own ineptitude that's the problem. This is a real nifty computer and works splendidly for my purposes.

Zoom V92 V44 Pci Internalcontrollerless Fax Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Apparently compatibility specs with windows on fax-modems are with regard to the data portion of the modem and not necessarily the fax side. The modem would send faxes w/out problems. However, it failed to detect a ringing phone to receive a fax unattended. All was ok if someone was always around to tell the modem when to start receiving, but that's not what we were looking for in a fax machine replacement. So I can't speak to the data operability of this modem, but if you're looking for fax, I'd look elsewhere.

Pre-Owned iBook G4 1.33 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB internal drive, internal Combo Drive, internal 56k modem, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth installed, 12.1" TFT display, OS CD is not included, OS 10.4.11 installed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.
My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.
When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

MultiTech Systems MultiModemUSB V.92/56K Data/Fax Modem (Model MT5634ZBA-USB-V92) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have four MultiTech Multimodems (three of this particular model) and I am extremely well pleased with both the quality and reliability of these products.
If you want one of the best modems available (and, as I am, are sick of suffering from connection/maintainance problems, etc. caused by inferior modems from other companies) then this, or the topscale MultiTech MT5600BA-v.92 modem, which I also have, is a clear choice. Sometimes, a dollar saved in buying a lesser quality modem is thousands of dollars wasted in continual hassles. Trust me, I have had five or six truly lousy modems from one particular company and, in contrast, have never had a single problem with MultiTech.
Make sure, after installing, that you update the modem firmware and the drivers from the multitech website. These modems are slightly conservative in establishing a connection and the update may result in a one notch higher connection speed.

USRobotics 56K V.92 Faxmodem USB ( 5633B ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Apparently, there is an "A" model version of this USR modem for $20 cheaper but which received rather poor reviews so note that this is the USR "B" model or USR5633B. I am very pleased with its performance. My saga in brief: due to geographics but by choice I'm in a very rural area, the cable folks or indeed the telephone high speed DSL internet service is just not available and satellite internet is still prohibitively expensive so basically I am reduced to a regional dial-up ISP for internet service. The phone company says they are "working on it in your dialing area" with regard to DSL high-speed internet service but no need to tell you that this was almost 2 years ago and I assume they are still working on it! Rural areas are not exactly a priority it would seem!
Anyway, my dial-up problems with my old USB modem were two-fold: chronic hang-ups or, even more frustrating if you've been this route, the thing would connect to the ISP but as soon as you want go to to another website after some time went by or go wherever on the internet or usenet, the old "can't find (whatever)" would pop up even though still connected! Figure that one out! Talk about frustration! Worse, with the old modem, any internet connection over 38 K/BPS would generally result in a hang-up within a half hour!
With this new USR modem, the 5633B, great! First connection after installing it [USB with its own disk software] was 45.2 K/BPS and it stayed that way for over 10 hours of usage! Today, as an example, the connect speed was/is 42.6 K/BPS and no problems and I've been connected for over 8 hours now! So too and thus far, no hang-ups at all or "can't find" [various websites] gremlins and I find the overall speed quite good for a dial-up connection.
Two things tho' -- make sure you take out in Windows your present modem driver BEFORE installing the USR modem AND if you use any programs like Norton's "Ghost" or similar snapshot recovery software, you may have a problem when the recovery software senses that a major component is being changed and so you 'may' get the message "The modem can not be connected to Windows" which is generally a conflict with those kinds of 'protective' data and component 'snapshot' recovery programs that back-up your hard-drive and everything on it 'automatically' which 'sometimes' can be more trouble than they are worth! Or certain cheap or 'freebie' "recovery" programs that quite ironically [when you-know-what hits the fan] suddenly inform you that they require being in Windows to perform a recovery! Hey, if one can't even 'get' into Windows in the event of a serious blue or black screen glitch, what good are such alleged 'recovery' programs that 'require' Windows to 'do' a system recovery!
Anyway, so far so good with the USR5633B modem. Watch which one you order and note that this one is the more expensive "B" model and NOT the cheaper "A" model!

Apple MA034Z/A External V.2 USB Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Apple USB Modem is a controllerless or software modem based on the Motorola SM56 design. The advantages of a software modem are low cost, low power consumption, and compact design. The disadvantage is that modem processing is offloaded to a specialized driver that runs on the host computer. In this case, Apple has customized Motorola's driver to produce a generally solid product.
At the time of this writing, Apple has discontinued the Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A) but they are still widely available for around US$50.
Testing Notes: Software modems require a driver that can pump real-time audio like data to the modem's transceiver regardless of any other system software that may be running. In my own testing, I've found it's important to connect the modem to a reliable USB Hub as close to the host computer as possible. Apple's USB Modem driver generally worked well but could fail under certain conditions like launching Disk Utility with external FireWire drives attached. I tend to prefer controller based modems for their greater stability, but the Apple USB Modem is certainly an elegant and compact unit.
The US Robotics USB Modem (USR5637) is a traditional controller based modem from a manufacturer with a solid product history. The modem includes its own control processor which understands AT commands directly, so only a basic USB serial driver is needed. In my testing, this modem worked well.
The USR5637 is widely available for around US$50.
Testing Notes: The manual included with the modem is unclear about the installation procedure. You'll need to install the software from the included CD first, and then plug-in the modem for it to be recognized by Mac OS X. In the Network Preferences panel, select USB Modem, click Advanced, and set the Vendor to "Other". This modem is about the size of a cell phone (significantly larger than the Apple USB Modem).
I had no trouble running both the Apple USB Modem and USR Modem at the same time. I'm the developer of Phone Amego which uses USB modems for landline support. Having run both modems continuously over an extended period, I prefer the USR modem for its stability. It's more modem for about the same price.

USRobotics USR5637 56K USB FaxModem for Windows, Mac, Linux Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This USB modem works well with Mac OS X Leopard for web surfing, however the installation guide is not up to date for OS X 10.5.6 Leopard users. I had to figure out on my own how to install it. If you have OS X 10.5.6 or later do this:
for STEP THREE: INSTALL THE MODEM DRIVER MAC OS X 10.4.3 OR LATER
complete steps 1 through 5 then click on the ADVANCED button. Then do step 6, select the modem tab, in VENDOR select other, in MODEL select USRobotics 56K USB modem. Check Enable error correction and compression in modem. In Dial Mode select "Wait for Dial tone before dialing" in drop down menu. Set Dialing to Tone and Sound to On or Off. Click OK.
Once I did this I was able to connect to the internet using AOL. In fact I am writing this review on a macbook with the USR5637 and AOL.
Unlike the Apple USB modem this one comes with a thick telephone cable. The performance is good, it seems to speed up surfing a little bit. I bought this from Amazon and am pleased with the results so far.
