ViewSonic VP181 Flat Panel 18" LCD Monitor Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $1,935.00 -- our price: $1,359.88 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review ViewSonic's VP181 is an 18-inch multifunctional flat-panel monitor incorporating digital, analog, and composite video. The VP181 LCD monitor provides ergonomic design with height, tilt, and swivel adjustments and offers creative flexibility with a thin 4-inch profile consuming less of your valuable desk surface. Vertical and horizontal adjustments of 160 degrees pivot to landscape and portrait modes for full-page viewing; this also lets multiple users see the screen without having to sit directly in front of the monitor. Other features include on-demand audio and picture-in-picture capabilities. The composite-video input accepts a variety of applications including DVD, VCR, and video cameras with both RCA and S-Video connections. The VP181 is ideal for designers and graphics professionals who want the benefits of a flat, large screen and for any office that demands flexibility and fine resolution from its monitors. It features a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 ( maximum flicker-free resolution of 1,600 x 1,200) combined with 235 units of brightness to deliver crisp images. A pair of 2-watt speakers built into the base delivers stereo sound for multimedia applications. The VP181 highlights practical features including wide viewing angles (in both landscape and portrait mode) with PerfectPortrait software, selectable text and image-smoothing filters, ViewMatch color controls, gamma adjustments for custom color response, and dual USB ports. The ViewSonic VP181 (with 18.1 inches viewable) flat monitor ensures that your important data and images are precisely displayed by using SuperClear technology for crisp focus and vivid colors shown through antiglare glass. It's PC ready and Macintosh compatible (with the purchase of a separate adapter). Supported PC resolutions are VGA up to 1,600 x 1,200 noninterlaced. It supports Power Mac resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200. On-the-desk dimensions are approximately 17 by 18 by 9 inches, and the monitor weighs a sturdy 20 pounds. The monitor, including the LCD screen, is covered by a three-year limited warranty on parts and labor. NOTE: If you plan to use the ViewSonic VPD181 with a DFP video card, you will need a DFP-to-DFP video cable. You can purchase this item directly from ViewSonic. For more information, contact the ViewSonic Parts department at 1-800-888-8583, extension 6046. ... Read more Features Reviews (10)
Beyond the lack of pivoting for W2K (not a problem at home, using W98-2ndEd) and the marginal speakers (fine for home), I bought this monitor because of the two video inputs. I am driving two computers at work and want to quickly switch back and forth between the two. Unfortunately the VP181 often seems to believe that the dormant computer is not providing any video signal and so when you try to toggle, it claims that there is no active signal and reverts to the original computer's input. Sort of frustrating. I have to jiggle the mouse of the dormant computer before toggling the VP, then it switches. Also, while the switch interface on the base will not be a problem for the light user (who is driving only one computer), a single button to hit to switch both video and audio input from computer 1 to computer 2 would be nice. Currently, the user needs to switch the video and audio separately. Seven pushes of the buttons (preceeded by a jiggle of computer 2's mouse).
If you have defective pixels viewsonic will say that they will replace it if the panel has 6 bad pixels, or 18 bad subpixels.Buyer beware. The Hercules Geforce DDR/DVI or the GTS may ruin this display... ... Read more Asin: B00004SYWC |

CodeWarrior Pro 6.0 Average Customer Review:  CD-ROM US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review It's impossible to sum up the slickness of CodeWarrior in a fewparagraphs, but it's fair to say that this package stays one step ahead of youas you're working on any software project. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) itself hums along after a multi-CD install, and acts as your secretary, double-checker, project manager, and overall programming resource. The theme that we found apparent throughout our use of this huge package was its versatility. Many packages claim to offer flexibility in the numerous functions and features it can perform, but CodeWarrior backs up its claim with one of the smartest organization systems out there. ThisCodeWarrior package tackles every element of a new software project, from thetechnical aspects to the project management and product release. Groupingtogether an editor, compiler, linker, and debugger--all through a common GUI, not as separate "bundled" features--offers complete integration of all components of your project. You'll find the interface familiar, although if you're new to the Metrowerks family you may have an initial phase consisting of just getting the hang of some of their terminology. But have little fear: you can easily polish off your understanding of how to get the most out of CodeWarrior through the free online courses offered at Metrowerks' Web site. CodeWarrior's versatility shines through in the choicesavailable to you: you can pick your platform, your programming language, andyour target processor, all from one place. So if you're a fan of C, C++, orJava, and like to use Windows 95/NT, Mac OS, or Solaris, you can get numerous combinations out of the one application. Bringing it all together--workinghard as the director of your musical software production, and never acting asthe restrictive, bossy stage mother--is the project window. It's a comfortableplace, with a strong resemblance to common file management systems like WindowsExplorer. Add and remove files, organize them into groups, reorganize them: theproject window keeps all of the relationships straight. And if your project is large, you can break it into subprojects for ease of use. And maybe for youit's the little things: we particularly liked some of the customizable optionsthat really made the workspace more efficient and homey. You'll also find thatcool tools are at your fingertips, like the dead code stripper and a symbolicbrowser new to this edition. Because this CodeWarrior package isn'tlanguage-specific, advanced users or those loyal to one language may find a few(but not many) areas that are slim on features. But if you're looking for anall-in-one package or are only interested in learning one IDE for all yourprogramming needs, this is the way to go. And in light of the fact thatMetrowerks is working hard on improving the product through numerous updates andrecently released support for the QNX and Linux platforms, CodeWarrior isincreasing in versatility as time goes by, rather than becoming archaic.--Emilie Dirks ...

On the downside, the debugger doesn't work very well under OS X PB, and the printed documentation isn't included. But it's still a great program.

Mac OS X Version 10.1 Black Book: The Reference Guide for Power Users by Average Customer Review:  Paperback (25 January, 2002) list price: $49.99 -- our price: $32.99 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Apple's OS X is the biggest leap forward in the Mac experience since the shift to color, but because it is a richer, deeper, and more complex operating system than any previous version, the problems associated with it are proportionally more difficult. The Mac OS X Black Book introduces the new OS X user to the interface, tools, and underlying UNIX core at the heart of this old and new operating system, but more importantly, it illustrates how to troubleshoot many of the common problems that new users are likely to find themselves up against. The book covers almost everything the OS X newbie needs to know, including installation, tweaking the system for improved performance, compatibility with pre-OS X apps (Classic mode) as well as non-Mac networks, connecting to the Internet, printing, and troubleshooting. The authors never shy away from the fact that OS X is an operating system based on UNIX, and nearly every chapter has at least some reference to the non-Mac underlying structure. We see this as early as chapter 2, where we are told we can view the text version of the startup process as the Mac boots up by holding down CMD+V. In the chapter covering multiple users, we learn about permissions and the importance of the "Root" account. And we even have an appendix that covers using Terminal and UNIX shell commands. Does all this mean you need to learn UNIX to use OS X? Not at all. But problems do arise from time to time where it can't be avoided. During those times, it's nice to have a "Black Book" on hand to get you through the rough spots. Good illustrations, a clean design, and an approachable written style make this book one of the more valuable OS X references available. --Mike Caputo ... Read more Reviews (4)
This book is targeted to the wrong audience. It is an intermediate book. I say skip it. Buy Mac OS X Unleashed

As far as it's review of Copland is concerned it is a veryinteresting book.I wish there was some more detail in regards to some ofthe low level stuff (such as task scheduling etc.).The book howeverprovided a very interesting view of how Apple was going to try andtransition between it's then current OS and a new "modern" OS. The level of detail is high enough to be informative, yet technical enoughto provide potential developers with some understanding of how to(re)design their software to work under MacOS 8 Copland. My hats off tothe author, even though it turned out to be a waist of paper from aproductivity standpoint.
If you are interested in what -could have been- had Copland not been scrapped, this is the book. ... Read more Isbn: 0201479559 |

Kerbango 100E Internet Radio Average Customer Review: Electronics US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Kerbango 100E is the first stand-alone Internet radio device.Since you won't be using your computer to listen to online radio, you won't haveto deal with software conflicts or competition for computing resources. Justconnect to the Web and tune into thousands of audio streams from around theglobe--from the latest news in Australia to a cricket match in New Delhi toBBC's Radio 1 in London. There are no service fees associated with listening to online radio stations. The Kerbango is based on the Real Networks G2 Player, and it plays RealAudio G2, 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0 streams as well as streaming MP3. However, you will need a broadband connection such as DSL, cable modem, or ISDN (dial-up connections are not supported). Additionally, the Kerbango uses an Ethernet connection, requiring a PC network or cable modem. (If you don't have a broadband connection, ask your current Internet serviceprovider about upgrading. If you already have a broadband connection, it isrecommended that you connect the Kerbango by using a cable/DSL router. Note thatsome ISPs may require the purchase of an additional IP address or otherservices.) Once you've connected to the Internet, the Kerbango makes it easy to discovernew radio stations. Just use the tuning knob as you would on a regular radio toselect a category of audio stream. If you choose the music category, you'll findsuch listings as hard rock, classical, country, jazz, and then be able to choosefrom individual stations within each listing. And since your broadbandconnection is always on, the Kerbango can be left connected to the Internet allthe time without affecting your ability to make or receive telephone calls. The Kerbango tuner stays up to date with the latest stations, newest music, andcurrent events by communicating with the Kerbango Tuning Service every timeyou're connected. KTS is a sophisticated database that stores information aboutall the stations that Kerbango finds on the Internet. Once a station is added tothe KTS list of available stations, an automated program called a StreamBotcontinually checks for transmission quality and reliability. This information isdisplayed on the Kerbango, indicating a station's expected signal quality beforeyou tune it in. The 100E features two full-range ducted stereo speakers with 2 watts perchannel. It also includes a built-in antenna for receiving AM/FM broadcasts, aclock that's updated automatically when connected to the Internet, and an alarmfunction that can change stations at preset times (such as when waking up in themorning). The device runs on Motorola DigitalDNA technology, with a 32-bitprocessor running at 81 MHz, 16 MB SDRAM, 8 MB of flash memory, and 4 MB of ROM.It includes an Ethernet RJ-45 (10Base-T) input and outputs for stereo audiolines and headphones. You can try out the extensive KTS library of online radio stations by visitingthe Kerbango site (www.kerbango.com) and connecting to a station using eitherRealPlayer or Windows Media Player. ...

Apple 10 GB 2nd Generation iPod M8709LL/A Average Customer Review: Electronics US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Packing 2,000 songs and a 10-hour battery into a stunning 6.5-ounce package, the Apple iPod is the smallest hard drive-based MP3 player available, about the size of a deck of cards. Just plug it into your Mac and all your iTunes songs and playlists are automatically downloaded into iPod at blazing FireWire speed. The 10 GB hard drive stores up to 2,000 MP3 song files (at 160 Kbps encoding rate) and also doubles as disk storage for applications and other files. A high-output (60-mW) amplifier provides CD-quality sound with a wide dynamic range, from deep, pulse-pounding bass to sharp, crystal-clear highs. In addition to its 10 GB hard drive, iPod has a 32 MB memory cache. The cache is made up of solid-state memory, meaning that it has no moving parts, so it's not affected by movement of the device. Skip protection on the iPod works by continually preloading up to 20 minutes of music into the cache. The iPod has a large, high-quality liquid crystal display (LCD) for viewing up to six lines of text. And the LCD features a white-light-emitting diode (LED) backlight for clear visibility in low-light situations--indoors or outdoors. Pocket-size and just 6.5 ounces, it weighs appreciably less than the stack of CDs it can store music from. Featuring Apple's award-winning iTunes 2 software, the iPod can synchronize with newly added music files and playlists. Simply plug the iPod back into your Mac and the changes are automatically updated in seconds. And with iTunes 2, you can rip MP3s, create playlists, and burn custom CDs all from one simple interface. Its rechargeable lithium battery is charged using the FireWire cable when connected to your Mac. You can also recharge the iPod using the included FireWire cable and AC adapter when you're on the go. The iPod supports MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, and AIFF files, and is firmware upgradable. To use the iPod with your Mac you'll need a FireWire port and you must be running either Mac OS 9.2.1 (or later) or Mac OS X v10.1 (or later). The iPod is not compatible with Windows operating systems. It comes with earbud-style headphones, a FireWire cable, power adapter, and CD-ROM with iTunes 2. It's backed by a 90-day limited warranty. ... Read more Features Reviews (36)
