Review title: Worked fine for years, but it's incompatible with newer cards. Product review: I got this device a few years ago and it worked fine for me. I used it with several types of cards; Compact Flash for a digital camera, SD for a PDA, and a 2GB MicroSD (with the SD adapter) for two phones (LG Shine and BlackBerry Bold). But I recently purchased a 4GB microSDHC card and found that while the card worked in the phones, that card wouldn't work with this Viking IntelliFlash USB 6 in 1 Memory Reader. Times change and so does the technology.I recommend you consider something like the "Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-HS219/1"...which I just ordered from Amazon.

Review title: Good job of exploitation Mr Berg!! Product review: I came accross Scott Berg's book several years ago on the bargin table at Walmart. I should have left it there. Katharine Hepburn could not possibly be less than interesting, but I had to really work to finish this book. The book was more about the author and his agenda than the woman he called his friend. I found a man with a very big ego giving a less than flattering portrait of someone who he said was his friend. My impression of the author based on this book is that he was very good at exploiting his friend Katharine Hepburn. I hope I never have a friend like Scott Berg. Where I come from, friends protect and emphasize the positive qualities. For a loving look at Katherine Hepburn I would recommendAt Home with Kate: Growing up in Katharine Hepburn's HouseholdIt was written with love.

Review title: This is not the news of the week Product review: I have long been a subscriber of Newsweek. But this passed year they have made changes which I find unacceptable. Every so often they call an issue a "double issue". The pages are about the same as single issue. Nothing in the double issue justifies it to be called a double issue. It only means we receive less issues for our money. Speaking of money. Newsweek has now doubled the price of the subscription of just one year ago when I had renewed for, $19.95.The magazine itself has almost no news or pictures of the "news of the week" The magazine is comprised mostly of commentary's and issues of our time. This might work for you if your in the mood for a little deep thinking. But this new, "Newsweek" is not for those wanting the News of the Week.

Review title: Don't buy this shredder Product review: If I'd read the reviews here for Fellowes shredders before buying one, I would have stayed well clear. As it was, I needed a cross-cutter saw this one (P70CM) on sale and bought it. It jammed on day 1. It has jammed numerous times since. Although the capacity states 7 pages, you're better off shredding just a couple of pages at a time, but be warned that they recommend the unit can only operate for 2min at a time due to shoddy engineering. 6 months after purchase, a document caused it to jam resulting in the motor shearing the teeth off the internal nylon gears (for an extra 10-cents these could have been metal...). The other point is the wire basket which at first looks stylish, but oozes paper dust, and emptying is a struggle as the shredder jams into it - this requires some effort to dislodge which causes you exert and bend the metal basket even more etc.etc. This shredder has now joined its own output. The 1-star is for the 6 months of limited use I got out of it.
