5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Backups, simple and secure, Aug 30 2011
Just plug it into your USB port, enter your password, and it opens. I use it for backing up my sensitive data so I can take it with me. With the encryption, I have no worries about losing it or about my briefcase being stolen. Excellent product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - Sharp and easy to handle, Aug 30 2011
I've used this paring knife for a month now and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. The large plastic handle is easy to grip, even with moist hands. And the blade stays razor sharp. It's just as sharp today as it was when I first used it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, Very Sharp with Good Handle, May 14 2011
The ceramic blade cuts through vegetables and meat effortlessly. I have big hands so I appreciate the large, comfortable handle. An excellent knife at a very good price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Clean; Cooks Fast; Handy Timer, May 14 2011
The grill is wonderfully easy to clean with the removable surfaces. My old non-removable grill was a major pain to clean. The digital timer is very handy and easy to read. It would be nicer if it shut off the grill when the time expired. The instructions on grilling need updating - they say five minutes to cook a frozen hamburger but it takes eight to hit the correct temperature. The grill is certainly large enough to cook two steaks or pork chops. I'm glad I upgraded to this grill.

Large weighing surface for vegetables & meat. It has lots of capacity for weighing large items. Both glass and stainless steel surfaces are easy to clean. Large display is very legible. Controls are simple, easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful; Good Value, May 14 2011
It's very handy - just chop vegetables on it and then use it to dump them into the bowl. Lies flat, resists cutting by even ceramic knives, protects countertops. For the price, it's an outstanding value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like it's supposed to. First class., Mar 21 2010
I took it out of the packaging (I hate bubble packs!) and plugged it into my USB port. After scanning for problems, I backed up my files (58 MB) to it. Then I unplugged it and put it away. Simple and efficient. I wish it had a cap instead of the rotating guard. A cap would keep it cleaner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good feel to the keys but tall in the centre, Oct 10 2009
I bought this keyboard to replace my Saitek Eclipse that served me for four years. The MS 4000 doesn't have key illumination but it is more ergonomic. I don't like the 'membrane' keyboards with that 'mushy' feel. The keys feel solid. My only problem was the 'tallness' of the MS 4000. I had to modify my slide-out keyboard tray to accomodate the ergonomic 'hump' in the centre. Not a monumental task, but it was a problem. When this keyboard wears out, I'd buy another one.
