Great starter mac or media server.......2006-11-11

The generation 1 mac mini is a great starter mac. I upgraded mine to 1GB at CompUSA and use it, along with an 160GB external drive, as my main media server. I have almost completed the process of importing all my CDs and some movies into iTunes. Importing video from a digital camcorder is quite easy with iLife but the G4 CPU is not up to the task for quick video editing. The newer Intel Core Duo mac mini should handle this easlity though.

(Almost) all you need for Videoconferencing.......2006-06-10

This version of the Mac mini works very well for the purpose it was bought - keep in touch with family. Be it Skype or iChat, voice and video connections are of good quality. The only surprise was that the Mac Mini does not have a microphone line in, but the iSight camera connected via Firewire has a built-in microphone, so it works like a charm.
The SuperDrive allows to burn home videos in excellent quality. The Mac takes it's time doing the mpeg encoding, but thats OK as it is so silent when working you hardly notice the computer is on.
The i-Software is easy enough to use, that even my mom is happy to make use of the computer. All in all a great buy - everything works, setup is simple and no blue screens or weird error messages.

OLD STOCK.......2006-02-26

They sell old stock items which may have old software. I called Apple to register this and they told me Amazon should have NOT sold this. Apple only sells items within 90 days and this product was over 4 months.

MACTABULOUS!!!.......2006-02-21

For all those people who are concerned about space restrictions and want a powerhouse computer that will not need a large footprint, the Mac Mini is the perfect solution. Packing a boatload of power into a computer yay bigger than a coaster, there is no better power/space combination in the entire computing world!

For all the Windows users who don't want to make the switch to the Mac, with the newest Mac OS you will not look back once you get used to the ways that Apple does things the way they are SUPPOSED to be done.

As per usual Apple, the design of the Mac Mini is perfect, and it's so quiet that your own heartbeat will no doubt be louder than this quiet monster.

If you need a solid family computer that will allow you to surf the net, work with spreadsheets, check e-mail, or just do 99% of the things that you would like to be doing (I don't say 100% because it's not a gaming machine), pick up a Mac Mini for your home office, kitchen, ANYWHERE and you will NOT be disappointed!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Its a mac..........2006-02-19

I got my mac mini a couple months ago. I've wanted a Mac for a while now and finally got one. Im a poor college student that loves writing and recording music. I use Logic 6 on my Mini and it runs great. Cant do anything extreme with it, but it gets the job done. The main reason i like Mac so much is the software. Microsoft still has their head in the dirt and if they dont pull it out soon Mac is going to have an empire bigger than theirs. Who could possibly say XP is a better OS than Tiger. Everything on a mac just makes sense. It takes some getting use to, but once you get away from the Windows way of thinking you kinda never go back. Unix systems just run better, sorry Bill. Gates always use to talk about inovation and how they're pushing the industry forward. From the previews I've seen of Longhorn it looks like they're mimicing Mac and havent come up with anything original or innovative. Yeah Steve Jobs is a bit of an egomaniac, and likes to have all the control, but at least he has cool people working with him that make cool stuff.

Product Description

Whether its a mid-day picnic or an at-home concert under the stars, the Bose® 151® SE outdoor speakers deliver the full stereo sound you want. Youll enjoy the same rich sound of music grilling on the porch or doing a little gardening around the backyard. Inside each speaker are three 2½-inch full-range environmental drivers arranged in an Articulated Array speaker design. This provides Stereo Everywhere speaker performance for consistent sound in a much wider area than conventional speakers provide. You have the freedom to listen to your music wherever you are, not just in a small sweet spot where your music sounds best. For more than ten years, Bose outdoor speakers have stood up to some of natures worst conditions. Theyve been tested against snow, rain, salt and temperature extremes of 158º F (70ºC) to -40º F (-40ºC). We even put them through 1,200 hours of salt-fog testing, which is twice the demanding Marine Industry Standard. And to further underline their toughness, we added a five-year transferable limited warranty. Outdoor speakers should reflect the same attention to detail you like throughout your home. Bose 151 SE speakers are designed to blend smoothly with horizontal eave, clapboard and roof lines. Sleek, compact cabinets accentuate your outdoor environment instead of imposing on it. New adjustable, weather-resistant brackets allow you to hang the speakers vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference.

Customer Reviews:

Very tinny.......2007-06-16

I oculdn't believe it when I listened to these in the store. Bose speakers for famous for bass response. But, these were horrible, with almost no bass. The sound is very tinny. They certainly are not worth this price.

I am warning you. Don't buy these unless you hear them first.

BOSE IS OVERRATED & OVERPRICED.......2007-05-18

BOSE is completely overrated and consistently does not live up to all the hype for their significantly overpriced speakers. I tried these speakers and was so dissappointed they were immediately returned for a much cheaper pair of Pyle's (@ only $84 compared to $279). The BOSE speakers do not even compare to the cheap Pyles that have a much higher Power rating (350watts vs only 100watts), better frequency response(40-20KHZ Vs. 670-20KHz), and even higher sensitivity (94db Vs. 89db).

The specifications for BOSE products are NOT advertised prior to purchase. Geeh. . . I wonder why? The reason is, by doing a direct side-by-side comparison, the BOSE speakers just don't match up & can't hold their ground to a much cheaper speaker since they perform so poorly. After all the advertising and sales gimmicks, the bottom line is that these BOSE speakers cannot even provide the performance of a speaker that is a fraction of the cost. The Bass response was weak & non-existant even for an outdoor speaker and could probably be blown very easily.

Why Pay the outragious costs for an inferior product? BOSE is for the uneducated buyer, who falls for all the sales gimmicks and buys speakers based on their looks alone and completely ignores the performance characteristics.

Good!.......2007-02-20

I bought these speakers for $109 on sale at my local Circuit City for my patio. I was going to buy speakers for my patio, but I wasn't intending on buying Bose because they were so expensive. When I saw these, I bought them. I think there's 3 4" drivers (speakers) in each cabinet (enclosure) The bass isn't quite suited for Nelly or any other rap artist, but it is quite suited for Kenny G. or Jewel. They aren't quit like the 251'S, but almost like them. They're better then Polk, Yamaha, or Boston Acoustics.

Bose 151 SE Outdoor Speakers.......2006-11-09

These speakers are being used on a large screened porch. I purchased them primarily based on the Bose reputation and their size. They fit very nicely on a shelf at the end of the porch and most people do not notice them. I was very surprised by their great "indoor" sound.

Satisfied!.......2006-05-08

I bought these speakers for my deck area last year. They were super-simple to install and worked great out of the box. They have a great sound and push good volume to my entire back yard. I could even disturb the neighbors if I wished to do so. :)

These speakers have survived the weather quite nicely. One of the speakers gets pretty wet by the gutters overflowing when we have heavy rain, and they have both had snow on top of them, and they still work fine this Spring.

I am considering buying another set for my screened porch area. The only reason they don't get a "five star" rating from me is that the ease of installation also equals ease of deinstallation. I have yet to find an outdoor speaker that has locks or a special tool to keep them from being easily stolen. At this price I would like a little extra security.

Customer Reviews:

Love it.......2007-08-20

I love this printer. Very easy to use, as a stand along unit or with a computer. It won't get smudged or smear as long as you use a media with smooth surface (I had used on discs made by Sony, TDK, Maxell, Playo...brands such as Memorex and Philips won't work 'cause they have designs on the discs) yet easy to remove with a little make-up removal oil (use something mild and natrual so it won't damage your data if you should get some on the recording side). Some people had complained about battery lives, I found that it drains the batteries faster if it's connected to a computer. Before you go and buy an AC Adopter, look around your house to see if you can find a substute. I found the adopter for my 12v portable DVD player worked fine with it. Silver ink looked great on colored discs, but when using color inks, you might want to use bold type as they tend to be lighter. Not for heavy commercial use or people looking for complex designs and graphics, but great for simple, clean disc title jobs.

Excellent concept for very light users, but has serious shortcomings.......2007-03-29

Like many users, I used to print stick-on labels for my CDs and DVDs (using a program called CD Stomper). The process was sufficiently inconvenient that I often just labelled the discs with a marker instead (a Sharpie isn't elegant, but it's simple and quick).

When I saw this Casio disc printer, I thought it would be the answer to my problems, so I bought it. Here's a quick summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good: The disc title printer works with your PC, which is convenient when you want to design a more complex label, add a logo to the label, etc. It also works as a standalone disc labeler, using the built-in keyboard, which is convenient when you're away from your PC. It takes up relatively little space (about 8x8 inches) and can run on batteries, so you don't have to carry around a power brick.

The bad: When using the printer in standalone mode, the interface is confusing (the interface when using a PC is much more intuitive). Also, if you want to print a two-part disc label (i.e., one that has text both above and below the spindle hole in the disc), you must remove the disc from the printer half-way through the print job and put it back in upside down so the printer can finish the bottom half of the label. This is inconvenient, and requires that you be very careful about aligning the disc each time to avoid top and bottom labels that aren't lined up. Finally, the printing is limited to a single color (you have a choice of black, blue, or red).

The ugly: Unless you buy the special CDs recommended by Casio, the printer often skips letters of the title. Apparently a regualar CD-R surface is not entirely compatible with the Casio's thermal print head. Of the discs I've tried to label, roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the time the printing is of such poor quality that I've had to throw the disc away. Now, I label the discs before recording -- I still have to throw away bad discs, but at least I haven't wasted all the recording time when the label printer messes up. Another weak point: The printer consumes batteries at a frightening rate. The eight AA batteries that were included lasted for only 40-50 disks. That's a AA battery for every 5-6 discs.

In a nutshell, if you need small size or portability (a built-in keyboard, and battery power), this can be a handy disc labeler. But if you need to label more than a couple of discs per month, want to print creative multi-color labels, or get frustrated by a product that yields unnacceptably poor quality a high percentage of the time, then you will not be pleased with this disc label printer.

good product.......2007-02-28

relatively easy to use. i've printed a labeled more than 2 dz. CDs with no trouble and the ink cartridge that came with it is still working fine

This Thing Is A Piece of Junk.......2007-02-23

Don't waste your money. It uses a ribbon, which jammed and tore the second time I used it. They've sealed the cartridge, so you can't patch it. AVOID.

Very frustrating to setup and jammed immediately.......2007-05-13

It is not possible to get the label software to run without crashing under Windows XP SP2; wasted several hours trying to make it work. Downloaded the updates from Casio's website but the application still would not start or would start and immediately crash. Had to install Windows 2000 under VMWare and finally I could get the software would run. However I was not able to print to the device (even though it had installed correctly).

To make matters worse, even in manual mode the cartridge ink ribbon jammed on the first try. Tried a different cartridge and it also jammed. Returned it for another and exactly the same issue occurred. This product is terrible! I finally gave up and purchased Brother PT-1950 Desktop 5-Line PC-Ready Labeler instead.

This Thing Is A Piece of Junk.......2007-02-23

Ribbon jammed and tore the second time I used it. They've sealed the cartridge so you can't patch it. Save your money!

Labeling made easy.......2006-11-03

This gives my CDs a prefessional look and I like the ease with which I can made professional labels. I was disappointed that it would not work with Windows XP so I have to use it "free standing."

Product Development too Rushed.......2006-08-17

I have owned this unit for a year and a half.

As a Label Maker (3 stars):
While ALL label printers are made to consume as much tape as possible, this one does allow you to adjust the length of the tape so that you don't print 6 inches of tape to print out the word CAT for example. The computer interface lets you construct the label format, font, letter size on your PC and see what you are about to print. This PC application is good, BUT, half the time, the unit cannot recongize that you actually have a label cartridge inserted into the print slot, and tells you over and over that there is no print cartridge in the machine, when indeed there is....Very Frustrating. Right now I have a bunch of un-usable cartridges in my PC drawer...

As a CD/DVD Labeller (1 star):
This unit will print logos on Discs, but you must know how to load your logo via a small 23 x 23 pixel black and white image into the print session. The image print quality is not all that large or good, but the straight text printing is pretty good on CD's DVD's once you get past the first disk. The CD/DVD labeller requires an adapter unit and a separate tape, and there is a compartment provided for this thankfully. BUT the label tape generally is not in good shape when you first put it in, so your first DVD/CD label will be spotty at best, until the unit gets to good tape. This means that every other CD/DVD you print on will have some splotchy letters on them, unless you can save all your DVD's/CD's and label them all in one session, wherein only the first disc will have a splotchy printout.

Overall the PC print interface for discs is very confusing, and tries so hard to be icon driven, that it cannot convey to the user what must be done to achieve the desired disc format. Complexity through Over-Simplicity. I have learned to just settle for whatever the unit prints on my discs...at least I have them labelled.

Finally, the standard USB high speed cable is too short. So your already crowded PC desk has ANOTHER resident to contend with modem, wireless router, printer, speakers, monitor and your favorite picture of Elvis. This is just too large a unit to have sitting within 3 ft of your computer at all times: unless you plan on labelling all the cartridges you buy with labels indicating what the cartridge is to be used for.

My honest advice. If you want a label maker, go get one. If you want a CD/DVD labeller, go get one.

GREAT PRINTER.......2006-04-25

Ultimately, I returned this product. It was horribly slow, and it kept crashing on me. I haven't had problems with any of my other Bluetooth devices. Maybe Bluetooth printing technology just isn't there yet, though.

Great solution for printing across the room or outside........2007-04-28

This product works great. The book said it does not work with all in one printers but I have had no problems. I guess it wont work with the scan and fax functions. It prints just as fast as when corded. I even print from my patio with my laptop.

HI ON PCS.......2007-02-02

This product was just what I needed. It gets the job done, slow but it gets done. My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to inbed the passkey, everytime I print a popup message asking for password comes up, it gets on my nervous after awhile.
I'm sure I'll figure it out just before I get a bluetooth ready printer.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this product..

Nice, but a little bit slow.......2007-01-10

That is a nice product. I used some days, but works slowly from the Desktop and from my Pocket PC. But anyway is a good solution to print from my Pocket PC from everywhere in my house.

F8T031 does the job.......2007-01-10

This unit does a good job, but is not perfect. It was difficult to set up. After a few attempts and with a bit of knowledgeable assistance, it worked. It continues to do so. The range is acceptable, but perhaps a bit shorter than the advertised 33 feet. That's not been a problem, since my alternative locations are probably a bit outside the 33 foot maximum anyway. I use it in an area where I simply couldn't run a printe cable. So ... it works for me and I'd buy it again.
