Review title: Causes I/O errors on working external hard drive Product review: Strengths: Seems like a great deal with its included firewire.Weaknesses: Doesn't use standard XP drivers, so you have to install the ones sent with the card. Card caused I/O errors to external HD after only week / 30 gigs transferred.Summary: Card caused I/O errors to external HD after only week / 30 gigs transferred. After uninstalling device and its drivers and reinstalling, the card still caused errors. Checked the drive on a different USB port and it still works. Card gets very hot in laptop.

Review title: Picture Book Product review: This book claims to be a book on how to draw animals, however it is nothing more than drawn pictures of animals. There is no step by step, only images of animals in different posses. I would not recommend this book.

Review title: Great phone, great price Product review: Bought this to replace my Panasonic phone. This is the 2nd time I had to replace the Panasonic. The Panasonic's keypad and battery keep dying, its' speaker phone had lots of echo. This Uniden works great. Has lots of useful features. Saved me from buying room monitor for my baby. The sound are very clear. I have not try to see if the range is good since my home is not that large. At the price that Amazon is selling (roughly 50% off), I don't think anyone can beat this phone for quality and features.

Product review: Been using the SC101 off and on since May of 2008 and all I can say is - NOT WORTH IT! I saw the negative reviews but bought anyway since it was reasonably priced. Even with a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm drive with 16mb cache it is still very slow. However, thats not the real issue here. Serious and frustrating problem is it will routinely disappear from the network without rhyme or reason. Has dropped out of sight even after just using it and going back to save a document. The only thing that will bring it back is always a reboot of the router, and sometimes a reboot of the PC also needed. Its always the router first, that usually does it. If not the PC needs to be rebooted also and it will appear again.I downloaded twice the latest firmware as the web site recommended but to no avail. NetGear has no solution. Shame on NetGear for releasing this device.
