mlmckenzie - (September 06, 2004) When they say this printer makes photo-lab quality prints, they're not kidding. I've been amazed by the printouts. People I've shown them to cannot believe that it was from a digital camera (I use a 5 mega-pixel camera) and printed at home rather than the traditional film camera and photo lab processing. The prints come out sharp. The coating on the photos is nice and clear. The coating doesn't hold fingerprints when you touch the photo, which makes handling them pretty carefree. The thumbnail feature is nice, even when you're printing from a computer. My only disappointment is that they say on the box that you can print wallet-size prints. The driver for Windows XP only allows you t

gatorrock - (June 01, 2004) I have been using this printer in my genetics lab for over 2 months now and can say this is the best printer I've seen at a consumer level. The print quality of this machine is hard to beat. We print pictures of cell organelles to full people on this printer, using 2 megapixel microscope cameras up to the 13.89 megapixel Kodak DNS camera- the print quality never fails to impress. And when we use the high gloss photo paper, you would think we sent it to a photo lab. This printer is not without faults mind you, it does have a nasty habit of setting itself as the default printer. So you have to check that setting pretty often (but this maybe be a network issue). It also has it's own

kenalcock - (July 08, 2004) This processor is powerful. And if you want to save on household utility bills, you can heat at least one room with it. I’m not joking at all here—it runs that hot. I recommend this processor, only if you are willing to go the extra steps to ensure better CPU cooling. This CPU’s normal operating temperature was near 60-62°C in a PC with: a 4-fan Aluminum Coolermaster Praetorian case, all round system cables, wrapped, and stowed for maximum “wind tunnel” system airflow; no system load; a video card that runs cool; HDDs that run very cool; no overclocking; and on a cool Spring day (60°F ambient room temperature). This was with the stock Intel heat sink and fan. I have m

hilty - (11/23/2008) Once installed, my BIOS immediately recognized the new memory. I went from 521MB to 1.5GB. Wow...what a difference on my five year old 8200 series Dell. Highly recommend making the upgrade change.

compcons - (11/22/2008) First of all, let me say this is a perfectly satisfactory mouse. I just don't know if I would buy another one for another machine. I'm using this with a Mac, and there haven't been any signal or tracking issues with the mouse. So in other words, it works fine, and I'll try to get into some of the nitpicky points here. The first couple days using the mouse it took a while to get used to. My hand (XL size, but not XXL) has to spread out over the whole body of the thing instead of just a small part, like a normal mouse. However, I'm now fully comfortable putting my right hand over the device. Some reviewers might complain about the fact that it's not rechargeable. Heck, AAs are so cheap nowadays and I expect them to last a while. And if you're desperate, pop-in some NiMHs. It also saves you from having a large base with an AC adapter on your desk -- this comes with an itty bitty USB receiver instead. It's also not bluetooth -- but it has it's own inconsistencies over standard RF...and there's a power button to save battery life. (Really only useful if you travel with the mouse...which is doubtful for me given its size.) Another interesting feature is the DPI sensitivity knob -- though never really used it. If you're doing lots of Photoshop work, perhaps, otherwise, I leave it set somewhere in the middle. Most of the time I'm using the mouse with the knobby scrollwheel -- though you can change to the free moving wheel with a press of a button. For really long pages, I'll switch it to the free moving mode, otherwise, it moves too fast. Sure, I might be able to customize that along with all the extra buttons I'm not taking advantage of with Logitech's software, but I don't feel any need to clutter up my Mac with any more background processes to perform a menial task. Overall, a great mouse. The price point is just too high for getting one with every computer I use.

khablow - (11/22/2008) Epson customer service suggested I buy a CX8400 to replace my old reliable CX6400 that died. The CX8400 was so bad they replaced it with the CX9400. The problem is the CX9400 uses the same paper drive mechanism and ink delivery as the CX8400. Both these printers will go through a set of cartridges in 2 weeks without using heavy color, such as printing photographs. Since Epson suggested this to me, and it does not work, and they will not upgrade, even for extra money, this newly replaced CX9400 goes to the dump.
