The Itouch has the best touch screen scrolling of anything I have used before. Menus and navigation are really easy to learn.
8 Port 10 100

We recently purchased it.So far it is running well and has good suction power. As regards length of cord it is long enough if you are living in one bed room apartment. As I can cover the whole apartment by plugging it in the middle.
Delivery was prompt by Amazon.
2 Port Ultra Compact

Used this for my entertainment area since I needed to hook both my Dish DVR and Sony Blue Ray to the internet. This and a couple of cables and I’m all set! Price is right too.
TRENDnet 24 Port GREENnet

I just love this mount. It is easy to use and stays wherever you put it. So much better than the suction type mounts!
Aten Technology 4 Port

This product works great for me. Hooked up to it I have:
PowerMac G5 with ATI Radeon 9600
Core 2 Quad Ubuntu Hardy box with onboard Intel GMA X3500
Macbook Core 2 Duo with Intel GMA X3100

I first ordered a Startech Starview KVM, which showed no video from my laptop or Linux box. I returned it and got this instead. I should have gotten this from the start. Once I turned off the beeping and switched the keyboard mode to Mac, it works perfectly.

I finally read this book after being prodding by friends and relatives. I had a feeling I wouldn’t like it, but I decided I would at least give it a fair shake by actually reading it.

I wish I hadn’t.

This book is just awful. This book is easily the worst book I’ve ever read. Aside from the obvious problems with this book that have been repeatedly stated here and elsewhere on the internet, there are 4 of my own I’d like to add.

1-This book says so much with saying so little. Meyer spends effort detailing minutia that no one could possibly care about. The first chapter of the book could have been reduced to a few pages. I don’t care how she unpacked or how she walked up the stairs. Verbiage, the verbiage is just cumbersome. Every other paragraph expresses some odd facial contortion or heart murmur. Where is the depth? Who is Bella Swan? Where/what is her inner dialog? What makes her tick? What are her strengths? I get it, she’s clumsy. (How many times does this have to be driven home?) I get it, she doesn’t like herself much. What else? How did she become so self loathing? How did she get to a point of falling in love with someone so easily, someone who treats her poorly? What about Edward? Who is he? What are his flaws? What are his weaknesses? I get it, he’s perfect at everything, he’s perfect looking, he’s perfect in every way, other than being a jerk to Bella. Why is he a jerk to her? Does the author think that disrespect and sexism is normal for a relationship?

2-Normally when I’m reading a book, even a book I don’t like much, I find myself sinking in. I become so absorbed by the story that I’m not even aware that I’m reading anymore. I sink in. I didn’t sink in at any point with Twilight. I never felt absorbed by this story. Each and every word I read I was aware that I was reading. It was tedious and boring, almost painful at times. There was no story to pull me in, nothing made me care. There was no plot, the characters are empty and vapid. Maybe I’m to
