This review for older model.......2007-11-13
This tablet was a gift for my artistic daughter, age 9. I wanted an entry level item that wouldn't break the bank just in case she abandoned her desire for making art. It was a way to introduce her to the world of computer graphic art. She loved Art Dabbler but I do understand it may have issues with XP and Vista (I was using Win98 at the time). Don't use the bundled software (it's free anyway) and go with a more advanced program. She would also use the Paint program in Windows and I showed her how to use it with Adobe Photoshop and ULead Photo Impact. I found it to be just what I was looking for. Not too much money and she got a lot out of it. Her aspirations for being an artist will have to include an understanding of computer graphics and this tablet helped in this matter. Wacom is definitely better but more than I needed. She was doing great art using only a mouse before. This was an improvement. If you're looking for professional equipment look to spend more than triple what this item costs. If you're a pro you wouldn't want to be "penny wise and dollar dumb" anyway and you'd go with the Wacom. I'm not a pro and I was able to use it to make decent hand drawn art. It has the ability to be used with more advanced CAD programs but I don't have the time for the learning curve for these as I'm not doing anything like that for a living. If you just want to try delving into graphic arts this tablet is inexpensive and advanced enough for the casual user. When/if she gets more advanced in graphic art I will buy a more advanced tablet for her. She's now 13 and this tablet still hasn't had all it's potential tapped. It still works fine. TIP: Take the battery out of the pen after each use or it will drain the battery just sitting there. I recommend it.
Nice entry level tablet.......2007-05-03
I have just received my hyper pen 8000 and used it only once. I have read the other reviews and I am skeptical of its performance. However, I also realize the amount of money I spent on this tablet is 5 times cheaper than the Wacom I wanted. Being a college student in Game Art and product design, it was time for me to upgrade from my standard mouse. I have had Wacom readily available to me when I was attending an actual campus. Now that I attend school from home (online) I have to be more resourceful. I still need the tools required by the industry but the only difference is I pay for them out of pocket. This tablet fits the bill for me. Yes there are problems (the cursor and pressure sensitivity do unusual things) but compared to using my cordless mouse it still works. I don't use the mouse that came with the pad (I already own one) and the software bundle is still in its packaging (I own all the Adobe programs). So, some of the issues others are experiencing don't apply to me. I can say I have used a Wacom pad for over two years, so I know what to expect. The Aiptek is a nice alternative to those who need to get their feet wet. This is just something to hold you over until you can afford an updated model. You just have to live with its faults. Don't expect more and you won't be disappointed
Please avoid this tablet at all costs.......2007-03-29
My company bought this tablet for me about 6-8 months ago. I have tried using it over and over, but the control is horrible. Not only will the mouse and pen drain battery life incredibly fast, but you get very poor response from the pen. The pen frequently "jumps" and "jitters." I could be working in Illustrator CS2, or Freehand MX, drawing a continuous line and the pen would jump to the upper left hand corner of the screen, randomly. When and if you ever got a pen line completed, you have to go back with the mouse and clean it up. Kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. There is no way you could ever possibly get work done with it.
You definitely get what you pay for. Today, I finally went to the store and bought just a 4x5 Wacom Graphire4 and the quality and response is incredible. Please take my advice and buy a Wacom Graphire4, or spend a little more for Wacom Graphire4 6x8.
I gots the shakes.......2006-01-24
I got a refurb model for cheap, so my experience may not be representative to those who're buying new Aipteks, but by far the worst problem I've had with my Hyperpen- worse than the flimsy-feeling pen and mouse, worse than the useless software, worse than the driver that doesn't work until you hunt down one well-hidden update that is not, as I recall, even on the Aiptek site- is the cursor shake. There's really not much reason to buy a tablet other than the cool pressure settings, and it seems like the Hyperpen has exactly three of those- 'very very light', 'full pressure', and 'shake like a spastic orangutan on amphetamines'. The cursor is largely uncontrollable over the entire middle band of its pressure spectrum, which pretty seriously limits the use of the pen. I can still get some good out of it, and it's handy enough to deserve at least two stars, but due to its incessant twitching and the impossibility of taking full advantage of the pressure tip the Hyperpen is not of use for most of the things tablets are supposed to be best at.
entry level.........2004-11-07
hey..the software that comes with it is garbage..but I wasn't planning on using any of it anyway. I bought this mainly because using a mouse to draw in photoshop and other programs was to time consuming and i needed something more natural, and this does the job. I will probably be upgrading to a wacom in the future, but hell...for the price you can beat this one.

Nexus FRIZZBEE HDD Cooler FRZ-3500
The Nexus Frizzbee Inaudible HDD Cooler is the ultimate solution to bring the temperatures of your hard disk down, without making your system more noisy.
Modern hard disks are running faster and faster and are producing more heat. Some extra cooling may become necessary, but off course you do not want to add any noisy components to your system. This is why Nexus introduces the new super quiet Frizzbee.
The Frizzbee is a noiseless (inaudible!) single fan HDD cooler which provides excellent airflow and cooling for your hard disk. Lower the temperatures of your HDD to guarantee a longer lifetime and a flawless operation.
Features:
Inaudible!
The Frizzbee is so quiet that it's not possible to present a dB(A) rating for the device.... It's simply inaudible!*
* Notice from Nexus:
When we tested the noise level of our frizzbee we did this in an ISO-certified chamber for noise tests. It is important to know that the background noise in such a chamber is a little over 15 dB(A). These are the best possible conditions for these tests and hence you should always be aware when a manufacturer is claiming dB(A) values that are lower then 15 dB(A). Because how where they able to measure this? We provide the real figures, from the actual tests. Can it get any more reliable…? Judge for your self.
Easy installation
The installation of the Frizzbee is so easy, it only takes 2 screws to attach it to your HDD, plug the cable to your power supply and it's done
Lifetime extender
The Frizzbee, reduces the temperature of your HDD drive, it will make sure it's not getting overheated. If you can keep the temperature of your HDD down you will extend the lifetime of your HDD.

Customer Reviews:
Good product.......2007-10-29
I liked this product even though I bought it for a point and shoot Canon S5 and it really didn't fit perfectly. It fits great but there is about and inch and a half left on the front of the lens part, but it's better than anything there is out there for these larger point and shoot digital cameras.
The only thing is that the first week of use (and I don't give it that much use) the elastic through which you put the shoulder strap of your camera became loose. I sewed it back up and its working fine, but I didn't really use it that much for it to become unsewn.
Good product overall.

Amazon.com Review
Digital imaging has revolutionized astrophotography the last few years. Now Meade's Autostar Suite with Lunar and Planetary Imager (LPI) puts digital imaging within the reach of just about anyone with a telescope and a personal computer.

A practice image taken with the Autostar Suite with Lunar and Planetary Imager. |
Autostar Suite with Lunar and Planetary Imager combines hardware and software in one small package that is powerful but easy to use. The manual, which comes in PDF format on the program disk, recommends beginning with daylight images to get familiar with operating the imaging system. This is good advice. Using a Firstscope 90 refractor, I found I could get some nice snap shots of hummingbirds at a nearby feeder.

The LPI's real-time display allows for more accurate low-light exposures. |
The LPI feature I like the most is real-time control of the exposure setting. Real-time display literally takes the guesswork out of adjusting focus and exposure times. I tested the LPI system by using my eight-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and 2x Ultima Barlow to photograph Jupiter and Saturn. Sunlight reaching Saturn, for example, is only one percent as bright as sunlight here on Earth. By increasing my exposure time and letting Autostar Suite automatically align and combine the best images, the Lunar and Planetary Imager easily brought out detail like the Cassini division in Saturns rings and cloud bands on the planet itself. When I turned my telescope to Jupiter, I was able to reduce the exposure time and still see Jupiter's moons.
The Lunar and Planetary Imager is based on affordable Web-cam technology, but it has been redesigned and optimized for use with a telescope. The LPI acts like an electronic eyepiece and is designed to fit standard 1.25-inch eyepiece holders. The LPI simply connects to a PC with an included USB cable, but the cable is only about five feet long. The Autostar Suite package includes a number of special features. The "par-focalizing" ring allowed me to use an eyepiece to pre-focus my telescope before connecting the LPI. The package even includes cables and adapters for updating Autostar controllers and operating Autostar based telescopes by remote control from your PC. Realistically, however, the cables are much too short to operate the telescope from inside the house.
Meade likes to claim that you can get great results "your first night out." It might be true. My first LPI images turned out very well indeed! --Jeff Phillips
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Very good image quality
- Wide exposure range
Cons:
- Short cables
- CMOS (not CCD) sensor

Software is great, camera is... ok........2007-02-10
I did a direct compare with Meades LPI camera and the Barska® Digi Eyepiece. The Digi Eyepiece had a better picture but their software was a little buggy.
The Meade LPI camera and Autostar software was very easy to install.
The Autostar suite is amazing!
If you plan to connect a computer to your Autostar you will need to buy an adapter.
The camera plugs into your usb port, BUT the Autostar software,to direct your telescope, goes into a serial port.
(how dumb is that? Anyone going to use this is going to be using a laptop and todays laptops do not have this port!)
So you will need to buy a USB to Serial Port Cable adapter.
Meade sells it for $40.00 but other vendors here on Amazon have ones that will work for $20.00 or even less.
I give them 4 stars because the camera could be better and they are unclear that you need a usb port AND a serial port to use them both together.
If you are looking for something that is almost plug and play (you need the serial to usb adapter) I would get the Meade.
The Autostar Software is amazing!
If you are just looking for a camera only, and don't need the autostar software, I would look at getting the Barska® Digi Eyepiece.
Their software is a little buggy but the pictures are clearer.
You can read my other review of the Barska® Digi Eyepiece here on Amazon to see what problems I had.
Just do a search for Barska® Digi Eyepiece.
I ended up using both on different computers and telescopes. =o)
