These flash drives really gained momentum quickly. I put important files on my
Crucial Gizmo USB Flash Drive
and then put into my safety deposit box, in case there's ever a disaster at my home.

It works right out of the package without having to install anything (XP and Mac Mini tested only). Just put into your USB port and your computer reads it as a drive letter to copy files to or from. Works very well with both pc and mac and I use to to transfer files across the room without the nightmare of networking (I have a mac and pc in my office).

A quality "all-in-one" (printer, copier, scanner, fax) machine is all you really need. Although my 2510 model isn't on the market anymore (nothing wrong with it, it's just what these people do....stop models from being produced to give them cooler sounding names and slight improvements I did find what appears to be its upgrade, called the HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Printer Scanner Copier. Notice, however that the fax has been removed.

It's probably safe to assume that there's no need for a fax now that people are learning how to scan, email, and print documents. I haven't used a fax in ages and it's usually only done now with companies who are still newbies to the ways of technology.

I've been happy with my all-in-one HP and have never had a second of trouble with it. Neither should you, since this is the area in which they excel. Yes, they've hit the computer market....but, like an eager 2nd grade boy, they cut in line. They merged with real computer companies (my first pc was a packard-bell) and then slapped their brand-name recognition on the emerging models and then learned from them. Not to take away from their brilliance, of course, as they truly do printers right (not to mention I use a tricked out HP desktop in my home office

But I digress. Get a quality (I repeat...quality) all-in-one to save space and get all your crap done effectively and efficiently.

Although I'm happy with all other Apple/Mac items I own (and this was simple to install), the Mac Bluetooth Mouse was an extreme dissapointment. It was so awful, I exchanged it under the assumption that the first one I received was faulty. Not the case. They both sucked.  As did their customer service (this was my first and only experience contacting their cust. svc. so I'm reserving further judment until the next time).

Back to the mouse.....It was as if nobody at Apple actually used it before putting it on the market. It has NO ease of movement across your monitor and getting it to any point on the screen was a very time-consuming task. It was so bad that I kept looking around thinking that I'd been "punked", only to find that I had...by Apple on this sucky item.

I'm not showing you in the video because when I did a test video it actually appeared as though I was faking (yes, this thing sucked so much even me watching my own video of my own movements seemed unreal), so I disconnected it and will be burying it in the back yard with all of my other dead mice (not really but I couldn't find a decent closing on this the first official "NOT GROOVY" on the site

HOWEVER...its companion product, the Mac Bluetooth Keyboard, works brilliantly...as do all of my other Mac products...so I'm not sure what went wrong at Apple on this one.

DO NOT Buy the Mac Bluetooth Mouse
