For Epson 3800 and 4800 photo printers use a different printer driver than you would for any of the 5 star epson matte papers. Getting the colors correct with Photoshop managing was frustrating with this paper, WAY easier to use colorsync and let the printer decide for the 3800, 4800 and also on the CanonPixma 540 (though that printer does a lot better with luster and and glossy papers than with matte).
Great value for the price so loosing a few sheets to test printing isn't the end of the world.

What can I tell the world about this Macbook..hmmm
I have wanted to get a macbook for ages but never had the money but I finally got it and have not regretted selling my Toshiba Satellite. The Macbook is indeed the real deal and feels like a real notebook; it is very light, slick, fast and just a beauty to look it.. an amazing piece of technology...
Pros
- It is very light and much faster on Vista (I use parallels) than my Toshiba.
- This works too well with the iphone, they are like cousins... syncing my iphone with iCal, Address book and iPhoto is too easy compared to working on windows..
- It is very well designed, smooth architecture which i have no complaints about.
- You cant see the speakers but i love the sound that i hear. a friend has the previous macbook version and this one sounds much better than it overall.
- Mac has built in sensors for adjusting to different light conditions and its brilliant.
- Your iphone headset works on this like on the iPhone, it pauses music in itunes,

I purchased this TV for my grand daughter and she absolutely loves it. Great features and best of all...great value. I would recommend this product to all that may be looking to buy a TV for their loved ones. The fact that it is purple was great as her room is done in pink and purple. Great product O....I really enjoy shopping with you.

I bought this laptop four days before writing this review. I wanted to be sure I was not just overwhelmed at the laptop before writing this review.
First off I want to add that I wanted a laptop that was small, light weight, could use outside without the light negating the screen, had a long battery life and that I could write code on. I say write code on as I am a database developer and use Microsoft's Visual Studio and SQL Server products on a daily basis.
After installing all the software I use, and using it for the last four days, all I can say is that it is almost the perfect laptop.
What is not perfect about it? Well it does not have a CD or DVD player on it (I can live without but nice to have), it is thicker in the back part than what the images show online.
Other than that, it is the best laptop I have ever owned. To give you an idea of laptops I have owned in the last five years, I have owned Toshiba Sattelite, Toshiba Portege, Sony VAIO (both 17" and 12"), and a Dell

Let's start with this, I love this machine, is small, compact, beautiful and powerful. It runs cold, it's easy to carry and it's easy to work with it. Running Mac OS X, Windows or Linux every task is a breeze. The 2.4ghz processor is fast and runs cold. The 2gigs of ram is sufficient for my daily tasks, but for more powerful multitasking upgrade to 4 gigs. The machine have all the connectivity i need, sans firewire, but I can live without firewire. Beware this machine will hurt relationships!!

Bought this as a light, shockproof Mac to run typical Mac software (Aperture, CS3, Office, Sente etc.) to supplement iMac. Willing to accept lesser performance for portable productivity. System is silent (fans are rarely on), SSD seems very fast compared with notebook-class HDD's (for example editing video on EyeTV). Screen very readable. Truly just the right balance of capabilities for this kind of application. Macbook Pro would have been faster but not so much as to make a meaningful difference. Effortless portability and now (in its 2nd generation) more than sufficient speed particularly with the SSD is the reason to get this. Highly recommended.

In short, the answer is yes! The mac is not a pc, and you need to know that if you have never had one before there is a learning curve. It just does not do things like you are used to , and it does take some getting used to.
A week after I had received mine, and after going through what seemed to be the thousandth tutorial, I remarked to my wife that I had really screwed up, and I should have stayed with a pc. Now, some weeks later, I have learned to really appreciate the mac for what it is, a quick, trouble free tool to be used and enjoyed. I am able to do what I want so much easier than with a pc, and I really like it.
Close the lid, and it hybernates immediately. Open it and it is operational within 5 seconds and that includes being on line.
When I have to use one of the pc's in the house, I am constantly reminded of how much I love the mac. The delays in operations that I had just learned to live with are now a source of aggravation that I am no longer willing to put up

I'm trying to get a jump-start on Christmas by buying a few things ahead of time. I know! I know! You don't have to remind me that it's not even Thanksgiving yet! I happen to be an organized person, so what can I say? With so many grands to buy for, I can't wait too long.
When I saw this Crayola Art Studio, I immediately thought of my granddaughter Ashley, another budding artist in the family. Since she enjoys sitting around sketching everything from trees and flowers to imaginary princesses, I know she'll have hours of fun with this. I couldn't resist it.
Not only will it make her happy, it will make me happy to see her happy, and it might end up saving her mother money. The more time Ashley spends on the computer, the less time she has to spend at the mall. Am I a wise Grammy or not? ...lol

I'd previously owned the first $1099 white Macbook that Apple introduced when the switched to using Intel chips. It was a good machine, but this one blows it out of the water. Not only does it take on some of its older brother's look, but it truly is an impressive machine with the the additional touch pad.
Pros:
- Beautiful, seamless design similar to the previous Macbook Pro aluminum design
- Easy to open compartment on the bottom for accessing the hard drive, battery, and RAM
- Doesn't get very "Hot." I've yet to think I need to put it on something when its on my lap, even despite watching DVDs or doing other intensive work.
- Quick little machine. As mentioned, blows my original Macbook out of the water
- Side Battery Readout
- Touch Pad (this is a plus and minus)
- Bright, LED screen (although its glossy, I personally prefer the matte finish)
- New Nvidia graphics chipset... Much better than the Intel GMA
Cons:
- Sometimes, for me, the track pad doesn't "click" (seems to be a known

+ Glossy LED display isn't as bad as I was worried about. Works just fine indoors. LED lighting easily overpowers any reflections you may have indoors (unless you're shining a flash light right on the screen). I haven't tried it outside, but I doubt it'll work at all. Then again, why am I trying to use my laptop outside? I usually like working at a desk! Or at least inside. Outside is for playing!
+ OSX Battery life right on target (5 hrs)
+ Form factor and size are really nice for the performance you get in this machine.
+ Plays Command Conquer Red Alert 3 (under Windows) at 1280 by 800 with medium detail like it's nothing.
+ Very nimble with multiple applications open
+ Installs XP Pro and Vista just fine. Bootcamp drivers and support already on the OSX DVD, so you don't need to burn anything. Just pop in the disc after Windows is done installing.
- Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter tricky to set up at first:
- OSX doesn't let you configure your MacBook to output to external only.

I was wary of the glossy screen from the getgo, because I MUCH MUCh prefer matte screens. Funny thing is, it's actually the crappy viewing angle and overall dullness of the display that bugs me. Over the past couple of days I've used it quite a bit and my eyes are actually hurting me - when I got back on my 4-yr old iMac G5, I immediately, physically felt it was a more pleasurable user experience b/c of the display.
So I'm considering a return even though I actually love everything else - the keyboard, the new, bigger trackpad with the really cool and useful gestures, the overall design - this thing is a pleasure to use and look at in every way - except at the display itself. The other reviewers are correct in qualifying this as literally a disgrace - a flagrantly cheap, poor quality display on a flagship Apple product. Not good.

I don't know what Apple is doing these days. They go on and on about how great the new one-piece machined 'unibody' construction is on these new Macbooks, but then they go and mess up on some really important basics.
1) No Firewire- Hey, this is an APPLE technology. They created it, and supported it for years. Lots of people used it, lots of people loved it. Now, all of a sudden, it's GONE from the Macbook, except for one old model that isn't going to be around much longer. Why? So if you need it, you can go shell out $2000 for a Macbook Pro? Just not a great way to treat your customers.
2) So-So screen- The Macbook screen isn't great. Now, the *backlighting* is good, and much brighter than the old Macbooks. But the screen itself? SUPER-glossy. Apple likes this because it makes the colors 'pop' (and they do), but at the same time, you get TONS of distracting, annoying reflections (you can use it as a makeup mirror) and oodles of very noticeable smudges, smears, and fingerprints.

After reading all the other reviews I couldn't help but laugh....what did you guys think this camera was going to be? For those of you not old enough to remember, I can assure you that back in the Nikon F days of the late 60's & early 70's the 35mm rangerfinders were a compromise vs the SLR's too! That what this camera is, a compromise between a DSLR and a DP&S (glorified digital instamatic).
This is actually the first digital P&S camera I have ever owned, but have in the past owned a D-70 and currently have a D-200 with the extra battery pack and many Nikon lenses including the 300 2.8 (which weighs a ton.
But I needed a very small HQ camera that would fit in my pocket, give some of the creative control I wanted, be durable and most of all be one 20th the weight of my other camera gear so I would carry it with me all the time and the P6000 has filled that need.
In the last week and a half, I have given this little camera a great workout and tried every conrol feature, every image

I ordered the standard 2.0ghz aluminum Macbook and received it last night. Immediately it was powered up and explored and everything works perfectly, although calibration of the display was not as easy as my PowerMac on a Cinemadisplay 20".
This morning after using the Macbook at work and turning it off, I noticed several white "specks" on the screen, one near the camera, another 1" away from the left border at the center of the screen, and another 2" diagonal to the right of the "Macbook" logo. I attempted to first blow the specks off which didn't work, so I attempted to wipe it with the cloth included in the box. That didn't work either. It turns out this is dust BEHIND the glass. I have owned several other laptops prior to this, and this is the first time I am experiencing a problem this small yet this obvious. For a perfectionist such as myself, it is a pretty big deal (Amazon rectified the situation for me).
Besides that, this laptop is probably the most solid feeling laptop

I work as an IT manager, overseeing about 4000+ client computers. About one-fourth of them are Macs. I myself am a long-time Mac user, currently using a dual-quad Mac Pro and a 1st gen white MacBook, which I love both of them.
Full disclosure: I do not own this new MacBook (although I had planned to upgrade), but we bought several for evaluation purposes to determine whether they would be purchased in larger quantities. I have used one for almost a week now and have developed a love / hate relationship with them.
The Good:
The unibody is a beautiful design, and makes for a rigid and solid feeling notebook. I like the fact they've make it easier to perform hard drive and memory upgrades. The battery indicator on the side is a nice touch, instead of on the bottom, but I admit, I never used it that much, since I tend to check the battery life when it's on and I check it on the menu bar.
Once you get used to it, the new trackpad, it's a delight to use, and the new finger gestures are

Faster, lighter and stronger for starters. The backlit keyboard on the 2.4 GHz is great! The larger glass trackpad is amazing! The LED screen is very bright (completely adjustable) and comes on instantly from sleep. The new aluminum unibody case is solid, when you pick it up you can really tell the difference. The new integrated video card is noticeably faster than the previous model. Running Windows in Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac (Intel Mac) makes this laptop the only computer you will need, capable of running any Mac & Windows software, this comes in handy if you are switching from a PC or developing across platforms. I've had many laptops (personal and from work) and this one is the only one that I've ever felt was worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

For my review I am going to organize this into positive and negative aspects of this new model based on my experience with both the old and new models, as well as a general understanding of what is available at this price point from PC manufactures (Dell, Sony, HP):
Pros:
1. LED screen, brighter, better battery life, better for the environment (no mercury).
2. 1066MHz frontside bus.
3. ~8x Better graphics performance than previous model.
4. Easy access to hard drive.
5. Half-pound lighter than previous model.
Cons:
1. No Firewire port. This means no target disk mode, or using minidv decks/cameras which require firewire. I feel this is a poor decision on Apple's part. This makes two of my hard drives useless without an adapter of some kind. One FW800 port would have been nice, and from an engineering point of view, they could have fit it in there.
3. No HDMI port (yet to see this on a mac).
4. No eSATA port (yet to see this on a mac).
5. 5400 rpm hard drive. Better HDD performance requires

I'd been waiting for these laptops since the introduction of Intel processors in Macs. The MacBook Pros used nearly the exact same case design for far too long. While I didn't think the MacBooks really needed a design refresh, I like the choices Apple made so much that I bought one. I like having a smaller laptop, though I do appreciate some of the additional features you get with a MacBook Pro. That said, many of the extra bells and whistles once left out of the MacBooks have found their way in and while I never really thought I'd care I have to say--it makes a huge difference.
Owning a new aluminum MacBook is a lot more like owning one of the old 12" Powerbooks. I used to have one and it was wonderful. It's probably the one discontinued Apple computer that's coveted by its owners. Their resale value is still fairly high, considering how comparatively slow they are. If you're a blogger or a writer and you don't use the machine for much else, it's sort of a best of breed. However,

First the good points of the IP4600; The photo print quality is excellent. The setup is easy. I am pleased with the operation of the printer. On the down-side; The IP4600 DOES NOT print CDs/DVDs even though several retailers (including Amazon) states that it does. Canon Tech Support seemed very surprised that the feature was given in their specifications. I have a problem with some incompatability between the Canon On-Screen Manual software and software installed on my computer. The manual would open once after a boot then fail on subsequent tries. Tech Support has no software fix, but are mailing a hard copy. ON the first print job after power-on the printer goes through several seconds of clicks and hums before it will feed paper and print.
