Review title: Nice features - Terrible USB Problem Product review: Buyer beware! This motherboard has a chronic and notorious problem with USB ports dying off. We bought one and all the ports went dead one day when plugging in a new USB device. The regular user wanted it replaced, which we did. We then discovered that several other users had the same problem with very sensitive USB ports, causing the ports to die. However, since the new board was a later "Revision", we hoped that the problem had been solved by ASUS. It hasn't been. The second one's USB ports all died when a new USB device was plugged in. I've been a big fan of ASUS products, but this motherboard is not to be trusted.

Review title: Ridiculous Product review: I realize this book has been out for a long time, but after seeing a recent show featuring MacDonald, I decided to read "his version" of the murders. The book misconstrues the facts of the case, while ignoring the real evidence that showed MacDonald to be the killer. I find it hard to believe that anyone would buy into this, except perhaps MacDonald groupies who refuse to see (or choose not to see) his guilt. Reading this book was a complete waste of time, and it angers me how the authors try to manipulate their readers into believing MacDonald's innocence. Prison is exactly where Jeffery MacDonald should be, and I hope this narcissistic sociopath is never released.

Review title: Why Black is the master in Voice Over IP Product review: I was truly impressed by this title and frankly can't agree with some of the other critics. In actuality, they helped me buy this book because Voice Over IP by Ulyess Black is exactly what I have been looking for. After all, we are talking about Voice Over IP. While it does touch other areas, I really liked this book because it also covered other key areas of networking... things I must understand or reinforce before I need to learn Voice Over IP. And he does this quite well. Did he teach me something I already knew? Yes, but some of it I had forgotten! Did he teach me something I didn't know? Definitely! And this book allows me to walk away with a better understanding of Voice Over IP. I'd click on the TOC in the left hand column. I think you'll agree. While I don't know Mr. Black, he's sure taught me a lot. And thanks to Prentice Hall for such a great book!

Review title: Is it really worth it? Product review: Moderately attractive product, somewhat cumbersome when plugged into the outlet. (Protrudes more than the average charger). Within one week of normal everyday use, the part of the charger that plugs into the phone developed a short, and as has subsequently stopped working, completely! What a disappointment! May I recommend after market chargers... Then again, I might just be an unlucky victim, I mean consumer.
