Ordering from them twice, I really don't know what to say about Quest4Cameras.com. The first time the order went through without a hitch. The second time, I ended up canceling the order.The site: It is user friendly, very personable, a search block at the top of every page and chapter links down the left side. When you go to a chapter such as "digital camera", they have aides in the right column which help narrow down the selection from 832 different cameras to the one you need according to color, make, relevance, etc. The site is fun to use and has a large inventory primarily of cameras… read full review »

Web warehouse would be the description I would give to DigitalBundle.com, which is based in Lakewood, NJ, but only operates through the Internet. As the name implies, you can find all kinds of digital age items here from cameras and accessories of every type, GPS devices, printers/scanners, cellphones and similar conveniences, but they also have kitchen, household, outdoor and sporting goods available. It is “McAfee Hacker Safe” certified, and offers PayPal as a nonintrusive way to pay. They customer service is available by phone or e-mail (yes, they do reply). Policies… read full review »

Tristate is a misnomer as this company owns mortar-and-brick stores in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Connecticut and four of the NYC boroughs. Established as a camera supply store in 1977, it has since spread its wings to include video equipment, computers, printers, copiers, fax machines and all supplies for the home and office. Utilizing the website is as easy as walking through the aisles of the store. The only thing missing is a flesh-and-blood to ask questions of, but I have found that if I cannot find my answer somewhere in the webpages, I can call the customer service… read full review »

This is a high quality office suite. Don't assume that Microsoft Office is better simply because it's more expensive. The two are virtually identical. For everyday use, you can use OpenOffice with no problems. There's no learning curve. You can save your files in Microsoft-compatible formats, so there is almost no problem with interoperability. — And OpenOffice is free. It is an active open-source project, meaning that the program won't add sypware or other menacing garbage to your computer. It is frequently updated with new features and security fixes. — However, when… read full review »

One of the final chapters in Harry Emerson Fosdick's autobiography The Living of These Days is titled "Ideas That Have Used Me." This is the essential premise of TED.com and the global community it engages. In 1984 the first "Technology, Entertainment and Design" conference was held in Monterey, California. It attempted to show the convergence of information, media and research as a primary agent of social change. The event proved spectacular to its invited attendees, but lost money and was not repeated until 1990. Its rebirth caused an explosion of fascination that catapulted the… read full review »

When my hubby first installed Internet Explorer 7 on my computer, my first thoughts were: "Why did they move the address bar?" and "Where the heck are the menus?" Well, only the powers-that-be at Microsoft can answer those questions, but the tech wizards at WatchingTheNet.com helped me put things back where I want them. I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this website, but I'm glad I did. Being a creature of habit, I cannot stand it when a software upgrade "fixes" something that was working perfectly fine in the older version. I searched… read full review »
