NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch - Essentials Edition (GS208)


What's to review?  It works, I plugged it into Netgear router, plugged my laptop in and it saw a wireless router (the other Netgear) and a local connection.  The laptop is a bit aged so it does not have gigabit speed but the 100 was obviously quicker than my wireless connection.  A nice little switch to handle some of the many Ethernet add ons that run better hard wired at a low price of $30 on Amazon.

·                        Rigorously tested for reliability, built to last
·                        8 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to 10x faster than Fast Ethernet for maximum performance
·                        Small and silent desktop form factor
·                        Plug-n-Play connectivity easily installs into any network
·                        LED to indicate activity on each port
·                        Energy efficient helps lower power cost

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
