I’ve purchases many items over the years, but this product is – by far – the easiest to install and put into operation I have ever seen. Open the box. Plug in the cables. Turn it on. IT WORKS!

I own a Malamute/Shepherd and a German Shepherd and this brush just works wonders for them. The Malamute especially benefits since his undercoat is so long. Just 10 minutes brushing him with this thing can result in a whole garbage back full of hair. Plus he loves it, he will roll over and lay on his back while I brush him, never tries to run away. Great brush, I just wish I would have purchased the larger one.

Got it at the office; been using it for a couple of weeks. Haven’t found a single new thing I’ll ever use. As for the rest, well… it’s all there if you can find it.

If you loved going from XP to Vista, this is the ticket for you. I don’t get it. Why? Why do they hate us so much?

Lorex Network Video Server

Played for just 2 days and the Wii Game CD does not want to come out. When i searched teh internet i found so many people had the same issue. Since we liked the Wii, we decided to get a replacement unit. The replacement also had same issues as teh first one. But unlike the first one the second ejected the CDs after couple of tries.

Returning back for refund now.

Other things you might want to consider.

By default you will get only composite output cable (1 Video + 2 Audio). The new LED TV i bought Sharp 46LE810UN just have only one composite input and i have also noticed that the 2010 model TVs are reducing their composite input and increasing the HDMI input. Though you can buy the Wii component cable (3 Video + 2 Audio) from the market, it is very disappointing to see that Wii does not have HDMI out by default.

#2
Would be better if the Wii has a hard power off switch. Not sure whether this is teh cause of the Game CDs get struck when left it in the console for a long time. Also, the weird thing is that if you do not completely shut off the Wii, the Game CD input CD blinks occasionally.

#3
Wish we could have a remote recharge option available from the console or as additional accessory.

I bought this for my 10 year-old daughter and it is perfect for her. I would need the larger GB for myself, but for her, it’s great. Highly recommend.

This is a good looking, well designed book. Perhaps this is due to it being a Cisco Press product that follows their standard format. But I was surprised at the lack of content.

It reads as if it was written by a professional author, not someone who knows Storage Area Networks from hands-on knowledge. The technical editorial staff should pick up the slack, but it appears they dropped the ball with this book.

Some parts just don’t make sense, and the book doesn’t explain why, for example, all “loops” depicted are in a “star” configuration. The reader is left guessing: is the drawing in error? Can I trust any other drawings in the book? Does Ms. Gupta think that “loop” in a fibre-channel context means something different than loop means in English? Is there something about the hub that makes the physical star configuration into a virtual loop?

Here is a typical paragraph that should have been meatier:”Fiber-optic cabling is definitely more expensive than copper-based cabling systems. However, because all the advantages they offer, the implementation of fiber-optic cables amply justifies the slightly higher cost of implementation.”

Yet later in the same chapter: “Fiber-optic cables are extremely expensive in comparison to copper cables and require special skills to handle.”

Are the cables “slightly higher cost” or “extremely expensive”? There is no meat to back up either assertion. This is not an isolated example.

I get the feeling that the author was getting paid by the word and used a lot of adjectives and adverbs (plus a bushel of “therefore”s) just to stretch the subject. This hurts the credibility of the author, in my eyes.

The book is reasonably readable, in part because of all the fluffy language, but also because the author is organized and articulate. But it is more like digesting fast food than a fulfilling meal. Needs more meat, Meeta.
Storage Area Network Fundamentals

CCNA Cisco Certified Network First of all let me say that I have used Todd’s books in the past. I held CCNP and CCDP but had allowed them to expire. So I’m starting back over and having experience with Todd’s books in the past …

The pro and con of this machine is the same for me: it’s strong enough to return even the densest rug to upright; however, it is also strong enough to grab upholstery and literally burn a hole in it. I love the value, but it’s definitely rudimentary – no bells and whistles. Also, mine just died after 2 years of use. the motor burned up. (I’ve avoided anything that could get snagged ever since that couch mishap so I don’t know why it burned up.) I will probably buy another one since it really does work great for a great price.

This deshedding tool works great and just pulls the hair out. I am very happy with the purchase.

Our carpets and oriental rugs needed a good cleaning (dusty climate, pets, and time). I compared the price of professional cleaning, renting a rug doctor, and buying my own. I made the right choice. The unit is powerful and aggressive. We boil water prior to filling the reservoir. A quick one-two with a spot cleaner then the steam vac. It was amazing what the SteamVac pulled out of the rugs and carpet using hot water only. The oriental rugs, which we had always professionally cleaned were put on the deck to clean so as not to damage the wood floor. They dried quickly, colors did not run or fade. Cleaning just one rug paid for the unit! The wall to wall carpeting came out looking like new. They feel amazing with bare feet. Another bonus – my allergies are better. Biggest drawback – the very powerful motor is also rather loud.
