its ok but refund

i was looking for something smaller intended to a one of those mini keyboards like the ones fro RII but figured i would try this.
positives are: if you already have a current driver for any logitech keyboards ther is no need to install it again. just plug and play. it is much smaller than most full size boards, and also very light there is a left click button on the left side and does just that left clicks. a on/off switch is also available to save battery life when not being used. the item does come with an adapter if you have a problem with fitting the small transceiver.
negatives: if you are not used to 2 finger scrolling and dont like touchpads to begin with you may want to skip this all together. there is no function lock for a number pad and a total absence of a number pad hence it is a smal keyboard.
this is a great keyboard for "couch surfing" and MAY even work good on some smart tv's.
i would recommend it if you like touchpads i did not care for it thought it would be more responsive.
What's great about it: it is smaller than what im using works great on ubuntu too.
What's not so great: the touchpad is a bit weird
I would recommend this to a friend!

i am in the process of switching all my units over to ati cards as i am having too many problems with nvidia cards of various types. from running way too hot to locking monitors into sleep mode on the DVI ports. so i figured a few months back let me try ATI bought a small 4550 by sapphire and was quite surprised by its performance so much so i decided that it would be the end of nvidia for me. the catalyst control center is so much easier to use and navigate software/drivers dont seem to balloon as much. i purchased this card today at a local store though not same maker mine is by SAPPHIRE. as well its the exact same configuration. and it is doing good so far..i am curious to see what the temps are
What's great about it: easy card to install no LOUD FANS
What's not so great: price price price!! why best buy so high on this card??
I would recommend this to a friend!

this is all i have used since the 6.0 release its much easier on the resources the updates are hourly if any are available. i dont agree with the price should and could be 10bones less its not a major brand just a brand that really works good. internet connection is a little slower but thats to be expected with ALL virus scanning software.
What's great about it: easy to install very small hourly updates uninstalls without a trace
What's not so great: takes a while to learn whats safe and not safe (internet security version)

Compatable printer for dell desktop

Do not need wireless, fax. Just basic color printer, with a ink cartridge that is reasonably priced. Picture printing not required, but would not rule out.
any printer will do a office machine would be best or even a laser. which runs about 1000pp per cartridge. see who has the cheapest ink/toner use that one.

Have router wirelessly connecting 3 computers, but 1 computer farther away, drops signals. Is there a router that can be added to it as a booster?

if the wireless device is usb move it a bit higher say on the wall. if you have a pci card with removable antenna get a auxiliary antenna and wall mount it if this still does nothing start drilling holes and use wires. its the safest method anyway. but most important BEWARE of the SWR ratios on antennas average should be no higher than 1.8:1 so 1.1:1 is perfect match this makes 2.1:1 the worst and more problematic.

Is there a router for a USB aircard?

I currently have an air card through Intelos that plugs in to my USB port. I would like to work from home using another separate laptop but can not use the aircard, but can use a wireless connection. Is there a router that will allow me to plug in my aircard to create the wireless network in my home?
yes they exist but are difficult to find and very pricey

Do I need a print server?

I am setting up a wireless system with a laptop, printer and router. Do I need to purchase a printer server?
no if you have desktop and it is on while you are using laptop it can be configured to share the printer. if it is a stand alone printer with wifi built in again no. if u fail to meet the above requirements then i recommend the D-LINK dpr 1260 it does it all CHECK LIST OF SUPPORTED printers before you buy however.. it allows to scan print.

sounds like you may need a slightly higher end notebook with intel core2duo processor and lots of storage with a decent video card i have found the HP line to be quite reliable a good knowledgable sales man should be able to steer you the right way he may not recommend HP since you need portable and powerful

Desktop Wireless Adapters PCI vs. USB

Is there a significant difference between the function of a PCI wireless adapter and a USB wireless adapter? Is one faster than the other? Is one more prone to dropping signal? Basically, which would you buy and why?
pci sometimes are made to use less CPU power while most usb are designed for notebook use thus less power but heavy on CPU due to software as for which one drops more often that depends on the entire system. and YES antennas a bad antenna with high SWR's can make a difference, lower is better better mfg. will write something like this onto the pkg
swr avg. 1.2:1-1.5:1 under 2.0:1 is preferred
