5 out of 5 stars Best Switch Ever.......2007-12-30

This switch I purchased from Amazon is great. I plugged all my connections and it worked perfectly automatically. Could not ask for better performance.

1 out of 5 stars Works great, when it works.......2007-12-28

After 13 months of use it started to emit a high frequency sound and stopped functioning. The LEDs flash on and off as though the unit is power-cycling. Although they now have a lifetime warranty on the Pro-Safe series, mine died outside of it's 12 month warranty. By the way, I used 7 of the 8 ports; the built-in power supply seems unable to handle the load.

Would I buy another Netgear switch? I have another non-pro-safe Netgear switch that still works, but I sometimes need to power-cycle it to reconnect attached devices. I think I'll try another brand - perhaps Cisco.

5 out of 5 stars Easy to use network upgrade.......2007-12-23

If you transfer large files to/from another computer or NAS this is an appropriate upgrade. I need to transfer upwards of 20GB regularly and was tired of waiting for it to complete using the good-old standard 10/100 ethernet gear.

When configured properly, this cut my transfer times by an order of magnitude as one would expect. I just had to make sure the NAS was setup to handle jumbo frames. If you don't to this, it is likely you will not notice a performance improvement.

The switch was ready right out of the box. No configuration was necessary unless you really want to use the management features.

5 out of 5 stars Great overall product.......2007-12-07

It simply works - little more need be said. Plug in all your network connections and you're done.

5 out of 5 stars Still the best cheap desktop switches.......2007-11-25

Netgear's line of metal switches and hubs has always been an affordable, dependable product. I am glad to see that they haven't abandoned this format in favor of the plastic so many other companies are using.

I bought a couple of these for work when a group decided they needed to cram three conference rooms full of people on short notice. Netgear was the only product I trusted to work, and they didn't let me down.

        National Geographic TOPO! Weekend Explorer 3D (San Francisco Bay Area, Big Sur, Napa Valley)

        Amazon.com Product Description

        Enjoy the ultimate topographic map experience for your weekend outdoor adventures with the GPS-ready TOPO! Weekend Explorer 3D from National Geographic. This interactive software lets you print photo quality USGS topographic maps of the San Francisco Bay area, Big Sur and the Napa Valley so you won't miss a thing on your excursion. Seamlessly scroll across topo maps covering key sites and enjoy five levels of map detail, including 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 scale topographic maps.

        Weekend Explorer makes it a snap to generate and print high-quality maps, even if the area you choose is larger than the screen or covers multiple quad maps. And the true color imaging uses millions of colors to optimize your selected maps for viewing. When it's time to print, this software gives you loads of customization options to help you plan your trip: choose color or black and white ink and regular or waterproof Adventure paper, include elevation profiles, select latitude/longitude or UTM grids, or choose from a variety of other navigation aids. You can even personalize your maps with routes, symbols, notes, web links, and photos, or share trail files with other weekend travel enthusiasts.

        Weekend Explorer 3D provides accurate, dependable information that will enhance your trip or excursion, including a true sense of the terrain before you head out. First, the elevation profiling option lets you visualize elevation gain. Simply trace a route anywhere on a map in the Weekend Explorer, and the software will generate an elevation profile showing distance and all the ups and downs. This package also incorporates the updated 3D views and animated fly-through technology so you can virtually travel along a trail you have drawn as it winds and climbs to your destination. Intuitive navigation tools make it easy to see hidden valleys, or stand on top of a mountain and get a bird's eye view of what your surroundings will look like. In fact, you can choose any spot on the map or trail, then zoom and pan to see the view. For even better image quality, resizable split screens make it easy to expand any screen so you can take in every detail. And thanks to PC and Mac compatible live map updates, which automatically search your defined areas to see if something new is available, you'll never have to worry about out-of-date maps and information ruining your trip.

        Because it comes equipped with several special features, Weekend Explorer 3D can help you plan every detail of your trip. The "Maps by Mail" feature lets you order large, high-resolution prints of your maps, and get them delivered to your door, while the search function helps you locate trails, camps, and campgrounds, lakes and ponds, parks, cities and towns, and USGS 7.5-foot quad names. You can also export customized maps in a number of different file formats (like .gif and .jpg) for use in other applications. Or add map border information to printouts, including UTM or latitude/longitude grids, scale bars, north arrows, and magnetic declination. Whichever options you choose, Weekend Explorer helps ensure that your trip to the San Francisco Bay area, Big Sur and the Napa Valley will be truly memorable.
