1 | classic bit of entertainment | Adventure movie based on book, pretty much plot for plot. Set in Scotland, very late 60s, very cynical portrayals. And some stock pieces that have stuck in my memory clearly from when I first saw it in 1970. Holds its own, and the Wally Stott music hangs in the memory as well. | positive |
0 | Not the best choice... | Was received promptly, but the quality of the item is rather shoddy, barely lasted a week. Not the sellers fault but still to be noted. | negative |
0 | AAARGH! | Avoid this game. I was gobsmacked to read the positive reviews on this game.There is little direction, you are left to wander about huge levels with chance bringing you across the necessary switch. The 4th level has caused me just to walk away from the game (Confluence). I cannot find a way out of the inital 3 levels. ... | negative |
0 | Worst 3D shooter I ever played | I paid $2 for this at Gamestop. It is worth about $-30, (yes, that is NEGATIVE $30), because I wasted three hours of my life. Most of that three hours was spent working as a JANITOR, where nothing fun is happening.Most of the game play is spent walking around in circles in empty areas looking for the correct way out. V... | negative |
1 | To the point | Sufficient detail and a whole lot of information - perhaps too much information, it's a thick book - to plan ski tours, generally for lightweight touring gear, e.g. classic Nordic skis or 3-pin tele's. Alpine riders seeking vertical ft look for George Hurchalla's book. | positive |
0 | A disappointment | This is not a good atlas at all. Maps are small and you can't find many of the cities, let alone small towns in europe, at least in southeastern europe. Waste of money. | negative |
1 | WIll work with new drivers | My brother and I have had to split our time on the internet for a while. (He has a desktop which uses an ethernet cable to connect to the internet, while I have a laptop which requires the ethernet cable to be plugged into an airport) So for Christmas, I decided to give him a gift that would please me as well, this wir... | positive |
1 | Not ready for Windows seven | Had great connection and was REALLY fast. It was not ready for windows 7 tho, it doesn't has the drive for it yet! | positive |
1 | Works Great | I installed this card in my computer running windows 7 64 bit. Had to connect to internet with wired connection to let windows search for driver. Within a minute it found the correct driver for windows 7, installed it and it immediately found my wi-fi connection. Just had to enter my passwoord and everything is working... | positive |
1 | A little trouble connecting but works fine | I got the card into my computer and installed the software, just as the user guide suggested. It took me over an hour to finally connect, but I don't think this is the fault of the product, just my computer. I have been connected for about 5 minutes now and it works great =). The signal's good (I'm 40 or 50 ft from the... | positive |
1 | Really good value for the money | I needed a wireless card for my desktop PC as it was moving to another room and I don't currently have the time to run a coaxial connection in there for the cable modem.I picked this card based on the rating and reviews here. I am happy to say that they were very accurate and this is a really good card, especially give... | positive |
1 | Satisfied Customer | I needed a wireless pci card to get internet access from my garage, but I got more than what I expected. My computer is about 40-45 ft. away from the actual router and is in a completely separate part of the house. I'm surprised that I get 75-80 percent signal strength from where I am, which was way less that my last o... | positive |
1 | Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1 easy install | After reading past reviews, I was prepared to have to download special 64-bit drivers to make this card work with Vista 64-bit. But they weren't needed: Vista 64 automatically got the drivers from Windows Update, and I was connected to my WPA network in minutes. Never needed the MSI installation disk or the drivers I'd... | positive |
1 | Stable and fast! | I am using this card on my new PC that I just built. I bought this as a cheap alternative to a USB type card. I must say, I will never do USB again. Strong signal and NO dropouts. Works great on my 64-bit system. There are no cons to this card. Buy it while it is still available. Other sites are out of stock!!!! | positive |
1 | leet product | This thing can pick up signals better than anything I have used. It gets a better signal than the Linksys or Buffalo router functioning as a wireless bridge (via DD-WRT or Tomato). Installation is just like any other windows device. Extremely stable connection even with crappy routers. | positive |
1 | Easiest route I have ever installed! | I noted the opinions of previous raters of this product and decided to give it a try.Not only was delivery fantastically quick, but the wireless card installed instantly and required no configuration by me! So nice to buy something that installs easily and works well. | positive |
1 | Works well, but antenna cable is a little short... | Bought it for a 2nd computer that is on the other side of the house (100 feet or so). Used the drivers provided (running WinXP Pro). Usually has 3-4 bars (out of 4) of reception, has not caused a reboot that I know of (system is not on for long spans of time). The only problem is that the cable does not allow me to pla... | positive |
1 | Works Good. | I Bought this card for a third computer in my house and its the ferthest from the router and works fine. | positive |
1 | Fastest so far! | Bought this to install in a 40 Gig, HP Pentium 4 hard drive government surplus computer that is about 2-3 years old. Other than having trouble connecting it with my QWest wireless service (it wouldn't show in the little box they kept telling me to click on even though the wireless card properties said "the device is wo... | positive |
0 | Weak Signal | I purchased this because of the good reviews.. but I didn't have a good experience. Putting the card in was easy enough... but once I got it in, the signal was 14% ... so I thought... ok.. we are 2 floors away... maybe it's not close enough. So I moved it to the room 10 feet away from the wireless router.. and I still ... | negative |
1 | GREAT!!! and slow cost!!! BUT!! | This product works great once you figure out how to connect it. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. The price is perfect for someone one on a budget. The instruction on the manual are not clear, i followed the instruction and was ruinning into problems when I tried to connect to my secured network. I h... | positive |
0 | did not work | The card did not work. Customer service did not respond. The attenna did help boost the linksys card I ended up installing. | negative |
1 | Very Fast Wireless Card | I am using this card with a Windows XP 32 Bit operating system, the card installed without a hitch and is faster than I expected. With the computer in the same room as my wireless card I don't even need to use the antenna. I am very impressed and it has worked flawlessly for me. | positive |
1 | Works with Vista 64 | I loaded this up today and out of the box it did not work with vista 64, I had to go on another computer and go to MSI's website to get the vista 64 drivers. Once I had those I ran them and the card works great. Only reason I give this a 4 out of 5 is because while using this to game I lag for about 1 second every coup... | positive |
1 | Works with XP 64!!!! | I tried so many different cards and combos trying to get my newly built Shuttle cube PC to work with XP 64 on my wireless network. I tried two different USB devices and three different PCI devices and none of them worked until this product. What a great price too. I put it in loaded the software and BAM! it work perfec... | positive |
1 | Works great | This item works great.I used it on an old windows 98 machine. Worked right out of the box. The antenna wire could be a little longer. It replaced a linksys USB I never could get to work right. | positive |
1 | Works Great! | This little card installs flawlessly on Windows 7 and then just works like a champ. Great connectivity while connecting to a Linksys WRT54G from a fairly difficult location (downstairs and across the house!). Very happy with it, especially at this price, | positive |
1 | Easy to install...cheaper than buying directly from Dell! | This card is a breeze to install, fits right into the slot in my Dell PC. Dell was asking for $50 for pretty much the same card, preinstalled. Saved a bundle. Couldn't be happier. No issues with Windows, no problems with connection speed. Certainly recommend this product. | positive |
1 | Good product. Recommended. | This works as well as the other reviewers suggested. Easy installation if you've opened up your cpu before and exchanged a pci card before. The antenna has good range, and I was connected in minutes to my wireless router. Thanks a lot. | positive |
1 | Reliable, Fast, and Inexpensive. | I've burned through 4 different types of USB Internet dongles and a few PCMCIA cards of all brands. Only one dongle works now and it's from Trendnet. So I decided to go with PCI cards for wireless internet. The first one I got was for my wife. It was a good deal until they doubled the price when I needed a few more. Tr... | positive |
1 | Great Wireless PCI card | It is a wonderful and for the price, nothing can beat it.I had other USB adapters installed before and never have great reception as this does.Highly recommend.The MSI software needs a little attention but if you follow the procedures, you should be fine. Took no more than 15 minutes to get every thing ironed out. | positive |
0 | Incompatible with windows7 | OK, I bought this card after reading all the nice reviews, but in fact, it sucks. The official website doesn't have a driver for windows 7. It took me hours to find a driver from its chip manufactur. Now the computer finally recognized the card and can be connected to the router, but 80% of the time, the only thing you... | negative |
0 | antenna sucks! I recommend a more modern antenna! | okay, first of all it works, but the thing is that the antenna it comes with is sort of short, i mounted it to the top of my case, but it just looks sketchy.Secondly, the antenna broke on me today, and if you dont have the antenna connected to the pci screw in-no wireless... the screw in (with the little black tape tha... | negative |
0 | Not Worth It | This product constantly connects and disconnects every two seconds. I have an HP and the connector plates don't line up either. Every two seconds the included program refreshes the network list and connects and disconnects. It does not work. | negative |
0 | Doesn't work | This product will come up with the networks in the area. If you put in the network pass key it will connect then immediately disconnect. I bought it because I don't have alot of money and I wanted to get a wireless adapter cheap. Don't buy. Fork out the extra money on a better adapter. | negative |
0 | DO NOT BUY! | 1) Too many options to make it run smoothly.2) Not a plug & play3) Breaks connection haphazardly | negative |
0 | Keeps dropping the connection. | I tried for over a month to fine tune the settings to keep the connection from dropping. But intermittently the connection would always fail. Sometimes after an hour and other times after 24 hours. If I stopped the device through the device manager and then restarted it, it would usually reconnect for awhile. I finally... | negative |
1 | Works great on Vista 64-bit | NEVER had a problem with this device finding a connection, No problems in standby or hibernate mode, or any delays in finding my network.Didn't even need the enclosed drivers. Vista 64-bit connected the device without a hitch and it's been working flawlessly for about 1 year.EDIT 09/24/2011This device also works great ... | positive |
0 | crc receive errors | Installation was relatively simple, but the receiver seemed not sensitive enough for the location.After successfully connecting a mac mini with airport at the same location, I was convinced that the problem was the adapter. I installed another adapter , linksys, that worked immediately. Perhaps the super G will work in... | negative |
1 | Significant improvement over my USB wireless | I had a USB wireless adapter that got 50-60% signal strength. This this adapter, I get around 90%. I've absolutely no problems with this card and have been impressed by it's performance. | positive |
1 | works well | does as advertised. Bought this because of current reviews and it's great. I have to "repair" the connection about once every 2 weeks on the machine being used with this card, but I never have to repair the connection on my other computer. Not sure why this is, but it's a really fast fix and never causes problems. | positive |
1 | Works as advertised | Good product, works just as described. Easy to install. Have not had any problems thus far. | positive |
1 | Simple Installation | I received and installed this last night on my kids 4 year old HP desktop. It is a replacement for the Buffalo wireless USB adapter the kids broke a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to get a replacement Buffalo product but found that a court injunction now bars Buffalo from selling many of their products in the US.I insta... | positive |
1 | Excellent signal | A few points I'd like to share:1. Excellent reception - I'm using Linksys router with DD-WRT firmware and this card picks up consistant 5-bar signal. I've previously had Buffalo Airstation WLI2PCIG54S in the same machine and it only had around 2-bar of signal strength (same location.)2. Antena cable is about long enoug... | positive |
1 | Talk about plug and play! | I have windows Vista to start with. Installation took all of 5 minutes. I installed the software that came with the product and could not get my PC to recognize the card installed in an empty PCI slot. Went to the manufactures website and sure enough, they had the new software upgrade for VISTA. Installed it and was on... | positive |
1 | Works great with Windows 7 | Just got this card for my new Windows 7 machine. Worked great after I got the RA link drivers from their website. Seems fast, doesn't lose connections, the antenna seems sturdy. Right now only using it with 802.11b but it seems fast enough! | positive |
1 | Works great! | I had a wireless USB adapter, and it does not compare to this! Easy to install and hasn't dropped signal on me yet | positive |
0 | Does not work with Windows Vista & Airport | Tried and failed to get my pc set up on our Airport 802.11g network. Vista did not recognize the card; XP recognized the card but would only let me join the network when we turned security off. I'm sure that this is a Windows problem more than it is the fault of the wireless card, but still--couldn't get this product t... | negative |
1 | Works great with my Compaq Presario with Windows Vista sp2 | I tried two linksys wireless cards and they were bad, one barely got a signal and the other one simply didn't detect my router.This one immediately did work after installing the drivers. Granted I've only had it for a week, but am very pleased. Our router is at the bedroom which is in the other end of the house (my des... | positive |
1 | Works Great! | I had a Linksys wireless receiver that was not compatible with Vista, so after upgrading my computer, I found this on Amazon and based on reviews, decided to give it a shot. Worked wonderful right out of the box, and signal strength is excellent! Works like a champ, and easy to install. Highly recommend if you need a V... | positive |
1 | Works great | I added this to my windows vista desktop. It seems to work fine. I have been using it for months. | positive |
0 | lost settings | Works great most of the time. BUT, keeps losing settings thus my internet drops. I have to reinstall drivers every couple of days. | negative |
0 | Total garbage! Software terrible. No support. Don't buy! | I bought this adapter and it is going right back to Amazon. I installed it and the software would not load properly. I have a 6 month old HP machine running Vista. After searching the net, I found Vista drives, but they didn't work, either.What a piece of junk.I bet the hardware is fine, but without good software, forg... | negative |
0 | Works, but with limitations. | This PCI card is easy to install, and so is the software. The interface of the software is also good. However, the cable connecting the antenna and the card is too short, making it difficult and often impossible to find a good location for the antenna to have stable strong signal. This is especially true if the PC is l... | negative |
1 | Works great | This product works really good. My computer is pretty far from any connection, yet it still connects great, and is usually very fast. | positive |
1 | It works! | I bought this because my crappy D-link wireless pci adapter was dying only after about 6 months into use. It was dropping connections every 10 minutes or so. Now after I plug this in, I get at least 4 bars compared to average 2-3 bars i used to get with d-link. I saw some users complain about the short antenna. Yes it ... | positive |
0 | Very Dissapointed | This is a book that has a chapter on the Breed itself. Great Pictures of Bassets. And then it is a general dog Information Book.I was looking for a Book that would be much more specific about Basset Hounds and not a product catalog. | negative |
0 | Lots of Basset photos, short on Basset specifics. | I got the 1995 edition of this when I got my Basset. I enjoyed the MANY photos of Bassets, but was disappointed that most of the book appears to be a generic insert that fits in ANY general dog book complete with lots of advertisements for miscellaneous dog stuff. It looks like there is a fill in the blank form used to... | negative |

0 | Waste of money | This program does have some good hiking information but it is not very user friendly at all. The maps are the worst part of it, you can either look at a small general state map or zoom to a trail map NOTHING in-between. If you want to find trails (and don't know the trail name) you have to guess on the state which only... | negative |
1 | DONT BUY FROM AMAZON!!! | this is a good reciver but i got it at circuit city for 120. i live in california so im not sure if they have circuit city's anywhere else. | positive |
1 | Great product | This is a great product for the price. For a home theater aplication this amp does more than expected. And for the price you just can ask anymore. I got this amp shipped very quickly and received it without any problems all the way in Aruba! The amp has a bunch of preset EQ's so you'll find one that'll fit you. I run t... | positive |
1 | Outdated but Great for Essays, Papers, and Editing | I value this book since I proofread papers, essays, administrative memos, etc. for clients on liveperson.com and in past careers. This helps for office filing, clerical/administrative basics if you are working on these type of jobs/duties required. I also recommend this book for editing projects and for reference for c... | positive |
1 | a valuable resource | if you need to have clarity regarding the usage of the written word, this book will be a valuable, easy to use reference. | positive |
1 | Simply the best | I teach business writing in industry and government, and I recommend the Gregg Manual enthusiastically in all my programs, at every level. There are a lot of wonderful resources out there, including Albert Joseph's classic EXECUTIVE GUIDE TO GRAMMAR, that can help you understand what makes our language tick, but there ... | positive |
1 | Book review | great book a lot better than I excepted. It is now being used in class. quick shipping. very happy. looking for more from that author and related material. | positive |
1 | An invaluable style and reference manual for advertising copywriters | This is the best style manual for advertising copywriters on the market. There may be a new edition that supercedes this one by the time you read this. if so, I would buy it without reservation. I find myself reaching for this time and again when I write. Highly recommended. | positive |
1 | Simply the Best! | Since 1980, I have been recommending this reference to over 23, 000 participants in my business writing workshops. I describe the book as invaluable, comprehensive, beautifully organized, and continuously updated. The Gregg Reference Manual is one of two essential tools for business, government and corporate writers: t... | positive |
0 | Boo! Stay away from this product | Such a great idea, perfect in its simplicity, and yet executed so horribly. This is the first time I've ever felt the need to write a review on Amazon (I was so worked up I even took pictures and added them to the product description).1. The tactile feel of the product sucks. The buttons should click or at least depres... | negative |
0 | Hard to see answers under buttons | I bought this for my oldest son because he is interested in learning addition and subtraction. He has only used it four or five times. He gets frustrated that his finger covers the answer and the plastic is so thick it is hard to read anyway. I remember using this toy when I was young and I thought the manufacturers wo... | negative |
1 | Perfect for a first grader | great for a child just learning basic math concepts. has really helped my first grader gain an edge with math facts | positive |
1 | No batteries calculator! | My husband had these as a kid. If you push the buttons down, the answer becomes visable through the plastic. Durable and great for our kids to practice math with. | positive |
1 | Use product in bright light | I bought this toy for my daughter, I remember playing with this at a cousins house as a child. Although, I don't remember having a hard time seeing the numbers as a child. I found that it is best to used to product over a light.. if possible, or in a well lit area. I THINK THE PRODUCT COULD BE IMPROVED IF THERE WERE A ... | positive |
1 | Great learning toy! | Bought this for my niece, as I had one similar as a child and she loves it as much as I did! It's a fun way to learn addition and subtraction! | positive |
0 | Plus-Minus Chart Toy | Big problem... the answers are not printed on the key above. They are underneath the key, so that when you depress it, you can see through. The problem is the numbers on top are over the number underneath in many cases, which makes the answer harder to see. I really prefer the ones where you can clearly see the answer ... | negative |
0 | Useless | I was so excited to receive this to help my 5 year old with her addition and subtraction. You are supposed to press on the button and "magically" the correct answer appears.No magic here! The answers are simply underneath and as you push, the correct answers underneath are supposed to become more transparent or visible... | negative |
0 | out of stock? | When item was ordered it was in stock I waited 4 days that I could have ordered another item just to be emailed out of stock. The money was taken out of my account so I couldnt even buy anything else. very irritated I need this hat for a xmas gift wont be buying from this company again. | negative |
0 | Arrogant Author | I found that the style of the book was more about the author showing off his knowlege, rather than presenting the information. There are few examples, and the ones that are there, are poorly explained. There is a severe lack of organization - he just seems to spew information. At times he shows us his humor - not very ... | negative |
0 | AWESOME Writer - Not updated for all of Java2... | Rushed to press, not all of the Java2 API is included in this volume. I loved Java 1.1 and Beyond, but I wasted my money on this one... | negative |
0 | ONLY FOR PROGRAMMER | I got this book for my programming class and I had no programming experience before. I hate this book! Maybe some people who have a little background would like it better. | negative |
0 | It is pretty bad | I am a computer Science student at the university of new brunswick and i felt that this book was a complete waste of time. The author would introduce new topics and then jump into rather difficult examples with very little explanations. I would recommend that anybody interested in learning java to not buy this book. | negative |
0 | A good source of propaganda! | I have learned Java from "Core Java". It was a wonderful book. I just picked up this one and before I even finished the first chapter I was so sick and full with all propaganda the author tries to make me believe. He should know to treat us professional developers better than this. I rate it 2-star instead of 1 even be... | negative |
1 | Great book - easy learning | I loved "Just Java 2", and found it a great tutorial on all the key aspects of Java. Unlike what one other reviewer wrote, there is no assumption of C++ (It amazes me that people who read a book so superficially feel free to share their wrong assumptions about it). Just Java 2 is well written and easy to follow. The ex... | positive |
0 | Vague | This is not a good Java book. It goes too fast over topics that should be covered in more depth, lacks examples, mentions concepts never explained before, and the teaching style is horrible. If you want a thorough introduction to Java, with plenty of examples, and a well-organized method of teaching, do not buy this bo... | negative |
0 | Lacks depth. | This book does not treat any topic in detail. If you just want to skim through Java concepts at 10,000 feet this is the correct book for you. The print is very sparse with lots of not very useful (rather large) images.I got mis-guided by all those 5-Star reviewes. | negative |
0 | I am surprised this book is endorsed by SUN | This book does not have any order, take a look at the chapter "FILE I/O", after reading that chapter the only program you can write and test is only a lame example of how to copy 2 files. After reading other books and references I found that explanation in this book about streams character-based and byte-based is total... | negative |
0 | Not Practical | This book leaves much to be desired. Take the chapter called "All About Applets" for example. It briefly covers how browser and applets interact, parameter passing, key applet methods, and jar files, but it does not put together a cohesive, clear, practical example in the whole chapter. The best example they have is di... | negative |
0 | Its little hard.. | The way he used to explain the topics are confusing..I was very excited to buy this book but found it difficult instead of having C and C++ knowledge. | negative |
1 | Great book...the best one I looked at. | Explanations are clear and concise....which is what I needed. Includes sample code to illustrate points made. | positive |
0 | NOT so good | Not a very good book to learn Java. I found that the book doesn't organized very well, and you will still get confused if you are a beginner even after you read the book throughly. | negative |
1 | The best programming book I've ever read | I've struggled with a lot of mumbling-jumbling programming books and wondered why programming book can be so boring and difficult. Only after reading this book, I understand a lot of authors either don't know what they are talking about or don't really make an effort to make their books useful. Mr. Linden knows exactly... | positive |
1 | Just Java 2 | Excellent book, especially for those who have some knowledge of Java.I found the way the author explains topics very thrilling. He makes topics that had previously seemed very hard, such as RMI, appear very simple. The book is also illustrative and leisurely. The examples are simple and easy to follow. | positive |
1 | Not as good as his book "Deep C Secrets" | I believe Peter Van Linden is one of the best authors out there, and his book titled "Deep C Secrets" is one of my favorite. However, this book doesn't quite live up to the standard set by his previous books. There's a lot to cover in Java 2, so I'll cut him some slack. Some topics are given a topical treatment e.g. th... | positive |
1 | Great book for existing programmers | This book is great for people (like me) who can already program, and just want to learn Java. I found it went at the right pace to get me the info I needed on Java. Most examples are small enough to understand easily, with much bigger ones inc. complete games & applications on the CD. Highly recommended if you want to ... | positive |
1 | Excellent intro to Java and OOP for newbies. | I have read the book cover-to-cover. Peter is an excellent writer. He presented the details very clearly and kept me entertained. I found few errors which I can't say for many of the other technical books I've read. He has helped me get off on the right foot with Java and OOP programming. Readers will need other books ... | positive |
0 | Do not buy this book unless you know C++ | I thought I'd be able to learn Java from this book, but after a few chapters I was totally frustrated by the way the author attempts to teach you Java in terms of C or C++, neither of which I know, neither of which are necessary to learn Java.I found the book condescending to non C and C++ programmers, and the order of... | negative |
0 | Should be Java for C/C++ Programmers | The title of this book should have been, "Java for C/C++ Programmers". It is mostly a comparison of C/C++ programming to Java, heavy on the C part. But that is not the only problem. The author's writing style is more aimed at puffing up his own image than simple exposition of the subject. On page 91 he states, "In 1993... | negative |
0 | Not a very thorough book | This book has some excellent reviews. As a student that has studied a few other languages, including OOP languages, I felt that this was the least helpful of all starting books that I've picked up. The code examples do not give you any inkling of how a real Java program may be used. The features of the Java language ar... | negative |
0 | Don't buy this book unless you already know JAVA | The reviews here are deceiving. Trust me. Unless you have already read another book on Java, you will have a hard time understanding it. The examples are fragmented and never complete. The author assumes that you know Java already and did not even bother to provide examples for many of the concepts. This may be a good ... | negative |
0 | very cryptic details | not suited for beginner's should have qiute lucid explationsi dont recommend for new commers to java | negative |
