Not worth it as of October 24th, 2001

Right now, and from this day forward, it is absolutely pointless to get a GeForce 3... it is a great card, but even at amazon, the price is too high! How does Visiontec expect us to all be rich?! I here am not poor nor rich, so i have to choose a card that is good and has a good price! For this, i want the new ATI Radeon 8500. It has 4 times the processing power of a GeForce 3! It has outrun the GeForce 3 in every test it's been through! So don't waste your time with the GeForce 3. Get the ATI Radeon 8500 instead!

Well, I usually shy away from negative reviews, but I purchased this in October of 16, and here it is Early March 17, and it just quit and took all the data. Luckily I have another drive as a backup. I thought this would last at least a year, not six months. So I can't recommend it.

Like the last several reviewers, I have an earlier version of Quicken and had no desire to update. I updated 1998 to 2000, then to 2002 and noticed no significant improvements, except a slightly thinner wallet. I decided to stick with 2002 until Intuit came out with a version that got a halfway decent review from consumers. Then, like everyone else, I got the notice that 2001 and 2002 woulld no longer be supported. Rather than upgrade to 2005 with its average 1-star review, like an earlier reviewer, I got a copy of 2004 Deluxe for less than 11 bucks, shipping and handling included. I upgraded on my portable computer just to make sure it wasn't buggy, and downloaded the improvements from quicken. 2004 isn't quite as user-friendly as 2002, but at least I didn't shell out 60 bucks for 2005.

  Why only one star for 2005, when I didn't even buy it?  How about 3 years worth of declining reviews, and the nerve to force loyal customers to upgrade with only a token discount?  I'd switch to Microsoft Money, but around 2003, Intuit files no longer were compatible, so I'd have to start fresh or manually input 10 years of financial data.

  Not only does Intuit lose with their old customers, how many of us can recommend their products to new users after stunts like this?

I bought this HTS because of the brand. My previous Philips HTS worked GREAT!! I absolutely loved it!! You could control the amount of bass you wanted. So I figured this updated version would be just as great. NOPE!! The sound is alright, not the best I've heard. In fact, the older version sounds WAY better. Although when watching DVD's, I had to readjust the different types of sound just so my subwoofer doesn't blow. That's pretty bad I guess. Playing DVD's is a pain sometimes too because it would freeze or shutdown on its own. I got this the ending of November 2009 and up until September 2011, I barely used it. I mainly used it to play my iPod, which was the only good thing. It gave out on me already to where I couldn't get it to turn on AT ALL. There was literally no life left in the poor guy, the little red light was totally out. I was lucky it gave me back the rental DVD before it went to electronic heaven. But seriously?? It should've lasted WAY longer than a few years because my previous Philips HTS lasted from 2005 until I had to get a new one. The only problem with that was it wasn't reading the DVD's anymore, or barely. So, the moral of the story? Invest your money in something that would last longer than just a few years. I wish I did, would've saved me over $200 plus the cost of getting a new one!!

While this device was adequate in it's day, it was extremely obsolete even *before* Google abandoned GoogleTV.  Netgear were never very good about keeping it updated back when it was still a viable product.  I find it very disturbing Netgear *continued* to promote this product well past Google dropping the GTV concept (and eventually replacing it with "AndroidTV", which despite GTV being Androidd-based, is entirely different and incompatible).  This product is worth no more than Five Dollars at this point in time.  Seeing it on Amazon for $75 is nothing more than a scam

There are plenty of other reviews that repeat my exact experience. I purchased this drive 6 months ago to back up a system before flattening it. Went back to retrieve some of my old MP3s from the back up tonight and got several MFT errors. About half my MP3s were lost (though I'm going to try the power cycling trick that appears to have worked for some folks). Just wanted to get another 1-star vote in here to drag down the average.

This book (?) was only $7.95 when it was written in 2006...and it is more now for some reason...there are only about 16-20 restaurants in Cabo listed, there is a one page insert with an 'update' from 2010 stuck inside...?!?!?

...NOT worth the money, it is a brochure, really, and info is OLD. Not very happy with it.

Good for the money when I purchased, much better products are on the market now for less money. I would not buy this today.

I guess I should have guessed that at this price there would be some problems. I bought this March 9th of 2013 and by December I was having issues with my downloaded games. I thought it was just crappy Xboxness, but low and behold, it took a dump on me today. If you are looking for a short-term item, then it works great... If you looking for something that will last, look elsewhere.

I'm so sorry I spent $$ on this unreliable product. I spend more time fixing the incorrect downloads it's just ridiculous. I would not buy this product again. I wish I could get my money back. I only bought t because they were discontinuing the downloads in the 2012 version. I don't recall having so much trouble with 2012 as 2015 but I am done. Write it off as being robbed about $70. Going to just manual download using my own homemade spreadsheet as before. Trash product and ripoff direct from quicken intuit.

My parents purchased this in March 2016 for a basic internet browsing tablet/pc experience, and to handle tasks like Netflix, amazon, youtube, etc. At first I loved it because it was a win 10 tablet computer, and I didn't know as much about tech then. Fast forward a year, I see this as the crap it is. 1.33 ghz atom processor is trash, and there would be times when it won't even boot up, and I'd have to hold the power button for several minutes before it FINALLY turned on. If I had a choice, I would have gotten this- search it on amazon:B01LT692RK. Would only recommend for kids 11 and under. Otherwise would not recommend at all.

After a year of use, I stopped using the kindle. Now it's been 3 years since I bought it and realize how costly this kindle was and not worth more than $100. Unfortunately for me I got it during peak prices, even with the reduced price for allowing ads, this kindle cost too much. On top of that it did not bring the adapter for charging which meant I have to spend an additional $10 or so at the time to actually use it. Now I look back and see what a huge rip-off it all was. The kindle software started malfunctioning after a year in of use. Never dropped it. The internet was horrible. Overall, for almost $300at the time the quality wasn't good. Be wary of buying any future amazon kindle. I suggest to purchase any kindle later when price drop more than 60%, get it as a present or on sale again for more than 60%.

my cousin bought this several months ago and then passed it on to me. although i have just restarted my recreational road cycling and occasional triathlons and i cannot see many reasons people would want to splash over 100 bucks on this. i was just checking how much this retails elsewhere including ebay and whether there is any chance of re-selling it.  probably not, here's why:

the allegedly kevlar sides are not going to last i can see it already, although the mileage it endured so far has been very limited.

flimsy stitching and uneven stiffness, not very sleek or comfortable model either. not sure what has changed in the design as in 2004-5 some folk were raving about it but i have not seen many positive reviews recently at all.

not a very good value for money at all.

my cousin optimistically ordered it from the US and had it shipped for about $16, spending total of about GBP 100, unfortunately had to pay about twenty pounds on too on the import duty just because some conscientious koobi dude did not hesitate to declare almost the same value as the retail price on the declaration sticker !!

avoid the seller
avoid the model

I was so excited to receive this. Unfortunately, Amazon apparently doesn't update their stock. This was a very old calendar - the 4 annual calendars at the back are for 2008-2011. I ordered this in mid-2013. I wouldn't even have minded (who really needs the annual calendars?) if the rest of the calendar had been of decent quality. Unfortunately, since the calendar was so old, it was falling apart. The photo pockets for the front cover fell off - the glue had completely lost all ability to adhere. The ink pad for the footprint was dried out. This was a complete waste of money.

If you really want this calendar, go to Buy Buy Baby. They sell this same item and there you'll be able to check the age of the product. Just don't expect it to be a keepsake. Apparently it has a life expectancy of 5 years, tops.

The dummies who marketed this in the 1970s blew it.  They sold it for $20.  Twenty five years later a British guy bought all they had and sold them for $75,000 each as a bomb detector just by putting it in a different box.

Well...it was $6.  It broke in 48hrs.  I could tell the part had been remanufactured.  Had to drop $40 for the part from an official retailer.  I guess it was too good to be true.  Piece of crap...but what did I expect.
