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!

it fits 2010 elantra blue radio delete option. i recommend cut leads somewhat or you will have alot of wiring to deal with. also get some solder, flux, and heat shrink for best install.

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)

Streaming web content from Macbook Pro to Panasonic Plasma

I have a panasonic 3d plasma, vt-25 unit. I would like to stream web content from my macbook pro to the television wirelessly. That means streaming videos that I watch online, not computer video files or computer music files. In effect, I would like to watch what I watch on computer webpages on my television screen. How can this be done? Thanks

Can I change OS?

I recently purchased, from Best Buy, an Asus netbook, model EEE PC1005PEB, which came loaded with Windows 7. I would like to dump 7 and install XP.....home or pro.....and wonder if this can be done. Will that OS work with that machine?
sure as long as you have the correct drivers. which io would seriously download first and test.. BUT use caution ASUS will not support xp if it was shipped with windows7.. also note that windows XP is coming to end of life soon.. which means you are on the hook for support..

Wireless router to phone connection

My motorola surfboard wireless router has an ethernet and usb outlet. Is there an adapter I can purchase to run a phone line? We have cable internet and phone but I can not directly connect the phone line to this router. Is there something I can use to make this work?
if you connect the phone to the surf board hope you plan on buying a new router and phone because you will destroy it.. that is NOT what that plug is designed for..
