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)

Do you have something to boost the wireless power on my Lap top?

laptop wifi output is pretty much SET. a repeater type device may work. but i would try changing channels on your wifi system first there may be too many people on one channel look at your connections and see how many different systems there are on the different channels and use the one with the least .

pci wireless networking card or usb wireless?

I have an old desktop pentium 4 computer which one is better?
the pci cards tend to have greater output power and you can add external antennas in many models thus improving the range and signal. HOWEVER they are not always compatible with some motherboards.
USB is less intrusive no tools needed and can be just as useful depending on make and model.drawbacks are many can not be connected to external antenna therefore suffering signal loss.
i use a refurb linksys i picked up for 8.99 its a model WUSB100 VER.2 windows 7 picked it up and runs like a champ. with speeds clocked at 24Mbps. i allow windows to manage it.

What memory module should i buy for my samsung N210 netbook?

I bought the new samsung N210 netbook which sports the brand new intel N450 atom processor. I would like to increase the onboard memory from the currrent 1 gig to the allowed maximum of 2gig. What memory module should i buy? since this netbook is a brand new product in the market, i am unable to find information on the compatible memory module. I see that one of the owners of this netbook had mentioned that he/she has upgraded the memory. Can someone let me know? Thanks
any compatible card i.e. if the one that is in there is 1.8volts sodimm 667 fsb non ECC then you can use any card that fits those specs search the model and manufacturer of the factory card and go from there DO NOT pay more than $30 for a 2 gb card..
