This is a review for the Epson FastFoto that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Right out of the box this machine was smaller than I expected yet it is very sturdy. Although it can hold large size photo's the footprint of the machine is very small. The only exception is the output tray which does extend out and kind of upwards. This tray takes up a bit more room but I learned very quickly that you do want the tray fully extended when you are scanning photo's (think of a catchers mitt).
I have been a fan of Epson printers and have had one for the past several years with no issues (Artisian), and have been extremely happy with the printer. So, I was greatly excited that Epson has produced such a great and time saving photo scanner. It was easy to unpack and set up on a side table I have in my craft room. It was important to follow the set up instructions as you need to download the software before you connect it to your computer. Once downloaded and connected it is pretty simple to use.
The scanner started right up and my 2nd surprise was after putting a stack of 15 4x6" photos and selecting the scan function from the software; it went to work. I mean it scanned the stack of photos so fast that they shot out because I didn't realize I had to fully extend the exit tray. Quick lesson learned. The scanner scanned those photos so fast and I was immediate gratification and they idea that the giant box of family photos I haven't been able to share could now be scanned so easily. I'm kind of the novice photographer and I always share photos I've taken with family and friends. However, that can take a lot of time. Well, not anymore. The first set of photo's I scanned I was immediately able to upload and share on facebook.
The older photo's from the 1970's that I scanned all had an orange hue to them. After scanning the software auto corrected the photos and they really looked amazing. Not as good as maybe the best photo shop features but pretty darn good considering they scanned in seconds. The older photo's really did get restored to a much better quality. Note, it can not improve the amount of pixels in older photo's so they may not be as clear (due to older cameras having lower MegaPixels) but compared to the original; much improved.
If you have ever tried scanning older photos 1 at a time, you know how time consuming it is. This will cut the time down by like 75%. Keep in mind the photo's that you stack (you can scan 30 at one time) have to be the same size. If different sizes you should scan seperately and their are carriage sheets included to scan those fragile photo's. My plan is to gather all my like size photo's (out of my BOX 'O PHOTOS) and get to work on scanning them all in. I am also seriously thinking of buying a 6TB external hard drive because I have a lot of photo's. This product gets two thumbs up from me and a genuine gasp of excitement for a product I have been waiting years for!

With so many devices in use, your home network is busier than ever. This Linksys router can eliminate slowdown and interference by delivering Wi-Fi signals directly to each device, so everyone can listen to music, stream movies, and shop or game online at the same time..

This product is the best router I've had thus far

I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program. I previously had a Netgear brand router and Netgear brand extender; both of which I purchased at Best Buy. I had to have a $90.00 extender with my old router because the router signal would not reach the rear of our home at all. In using this new Linksys router, I found it was the easiest router to install right out of the box. It would have taken less than 5 minutes except I wanted to rename the router and assign it a WPA password. The Linksys router gave me a signal at the rear of my house where the Netgear 1 I had before did not. However, the signal was only 1 bar on my computer (which was weak). I did get a signal on my Smart TV and overall had few issues. On occasion the signal did drop from the router. After reconnecting it it seemed to work fine again. If I could move the router a bit more into our house, I know the signal would be better and stronger. However, Charter installed my modem, right in the very front of our house and I have to connect it to the router; which limits how far I can move the router. I will look into a longer cable to see if it improves. However, overall this Lynksys router is doing a good job with all our devices in our home and I am very happy with it.
