Is this product review positive? Title: Online Video Viewing Rip off Review: Had $120 worth of videos transferred and put online to view and edit. If you don't finish you have to pay MORE to keep online or buy DVDs for another $50 for 2 hours which cannot be shared online at all. Horrible waste of time and money. And it is very hard to find info online for pricing to keep online...decieving! So my videos are gone now and I am back to square one...I will go to a computer shop and get done now local and reliable! Customer service says too bad. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Sloppy work and not worth the hassle Review: I have used this service about half a dozen times. Some tape conversions have been fine but others have been performed poorly. My most recent experience: Part of my two hour tape was not transferred. I had to return the tape to have the conversion redone and I enclosed a detailed letter explaining that only part of the tape was transferred to the DVD. The second transfer came back, with even less of the tape converted and misspellings in the custom description I supplied to be printed on the DVD and box. I assumed that an order being reprocessed would have received at least a little extra attention, not less.I don't want to waste any more time having the conversion attempted for a third time and I would be extrememly nervous now about entrusting an irreplaceable tape to this company. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Use a local photo shop instead Review: Yes Video is awful. My slides were old and all they did was transfer them to a DVD. I got a message included with my order that said "poor quality; archival use only". Do you think they could have called me BEFORE charging me $200. for the work?? They do state that they don't enhance slides, but the wording was not on the brochure. Do your own research before you order from them. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Rip Off! Review: Potential customers beware! YesVideo basically held me hostage while my online video time expired. I paid them to put my VHS tapes online so that I could edit them and then order DVDs. I didn't realize that there was a time limit to do the editing. While I am familiar with iMovie editing, their process was very foreign and frustrating. I was not able to edit my videos in the time they gave me, and was not willing to pay them more money for an extension on the deadline. I was willing to just have them send me the DVDs "as is" until I found out that they wanted to charge me $50.00 for shipping. Bottom line, I spent a lot of money for nothing. I'm back to square one with my old VHS tapes. I do NOT recommend YesVideo. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not what I was expecting. Review: I was familiar with Saft's work in the jazz field so I was expecting a Blue Note-style organ-based workout even though I had seen the word 'dub' mentioned more than a few times in connection with this recording. It turns out that what I got was a lot better than what I was expecting. Chris Speed (clarinet), Jim Black (drums), Jason Maron (bass), and Saft himself turn in great performances; even more impressive given the the complicated nature of this multi-ethnic jazz-dub music. If you're a fan of Bill Laswell's multi-ethnic dub experiments you'll really like this CD. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the best albums I've heard in years! Review: I picked up Sovlanut on the advice of a friend of mine, not really knowing what to expect from the big picture of matzah on the cover. Man, was I impressed! This is an incredible disc, a combination of traditional music with the latest experimental styles. If you like contemporary improvised music, you will LOVE this. Saft manages to combine traditional Jewish, Arab, Indian music with drum 'n' bass and groove. I have some other albums on the Tzadik label, but this is by far the most avant-garde and exciting of them all. I definitely recommend it! Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Yes, yes, yes Review: Just wanted to lend my voice to the chorus of enthusiasm -- this is one of the finest of recent Tzadik releases and a helluvan album. Buy it (and check out my other reviews for more in-depth comments on varied Tzadik releases). Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing vocally! Review: Am I the only one out there that finds Cummings' performance to be wholly disappointing this time? His voice sounds nasal, and unusually strident. And wouldn't it be cool if we could hear some new material after all these years? Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Recording engineer ruins recording. Review: Burton Cummings voice may be strong but you can't hear it clearly. It seems as though this is a bootleg recording and the microphones are in the middle of room. The echo makes everything muddy, it's everything that is bad about a live concert. Shoot the sound man, he ruined the artist and stole your money. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: flawed gem Review: He is what he is. I, too, wish the sound were better. Geeze, it's just piano and vocal. It is NOT hard to make that combination bright and balanced. I also wish he would screw around less, and I DON'T mean the Gordon Footloose thing, which is GREAT. His waaaaaing and wanga wanga ing are not necessary. If he does that to cover for his diminished range it's doubly not necessary. THE voice is just so damned beautiful.I once was a Road Manager for a Band that opened for the Guess Who, and as they prepared to do a sound check I was marvelling at the sound Burton was able to get and when I looked to check what they were using for vocals realized it was his live, un-amplified voice. I will never forget that.Anyway, the mix of songs here is neat and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that his ego problem (EG: American Woman) was not present. I don't know how many times you can 'bless a crowd's hearts', but I think he found the limit.I'm glad I came across this. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It is horrible! Review: I am a true fan of Burton Cummings. This LIVE version has his best work with the audio quality of a gym. I bought this for the songs and got a high school rock band version, instead. Worse off is that there was no indication on the jacket or the description that this was going to be the case! Don't waste your money! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: the voice, the player, the setting Review: Here's a good idea, invite one of rocks most interesting and polished singers/pianists and have him perform in a wonderful hall for a small crowd and record the show as if everybody was over at Burton's house for a cookout. Bring your own Yukon Gold and you're all set. The recording is warm and EQed so all of BC's voice inflections and "soul" comes through and you can here how good a singer and player Burton still is. Being a long time fan and a professional musician myself it was refreshing hearing the music in a way that reflects how these songs sounded as Burton first wrote them or learned them. I love the "record", The Rod stewert Maggie Mae tune is almost worth the price of the disc by itself. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: robert plant rightly calls burton the best singer in rock Review: this is a tour de force for cummings, the best singer in rock,period. cummings has a huge ego, but somehow it's disarmingbecause he's so sincere and funny. from dream of a child to albert flasher to sour suite, this is filled with amazing music and some insight from burton - really sorta like VH1 storytellers. enjoy it! Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A special time with Burton Cummings Review: I found this CD very enjoyable as I have been a Guess Who and Burton Cummings fan for many years. It is sort of a personal touch and your really get a good sense of his music and what it means to him. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Simply Awesome Album; finally available in the U.S. Review: I bought this album in Canada a year ago, and now I can order it for friends here! This is Burton Cummings at his best, and it personifies why the Guess Who were so very popular in the 70's! From his solo work to his band work, all the songs sparkle with the power of his voice... to me he has a voice right up there with Sinatra when he sings "I will sing you a rhapsody." A must buy, "unplugged and alone" type of album. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: SOME OF THE BEST UN-PLUGED MUSIC YOU CAN LISTEN TO!! Review: I HAD ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF THE "GUESS WHO" FOR MANY YEARS. THE MAIN REASON WAS BECAUSE OF BURTON CUMMINGS' VOICE. LISTENING TO ONLY HIS VOICE & HIS PIANO PLAYING IS JUST WONDERFUL. ONE CAN REALLY CAPTURE HIS SOOTHING AND ROCKIN VOCALS AND YHE ABILITY TO CARRY A CONCERT ALL BY HIMSELF. THIS CD IS A MUST IF YOUR A FAN OF BURTON & THE GUESS WHO. IT WILL PROBABLY BRING BACK MANY MEMORIES......IT DID FOR ME. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Just couldn't listen to it.... Review: I was excited when this album first came out, but didn't keep it for long. For some reason, the iconic Canadian singer/songwriter/pianist was going through a phase with so many annoying vocal ticks -- throwing in ya ya's on songs, etc. -- that it ruined the experience, especially as there is no music besides his piano work to distract you.Indeed, when "Runnin' Back Thru Canada", the double CD live reunion album by Burton's band The Guess Who, came out a few years ago I hesitated to buy it for this very reason. But relax; the strange vocal mannerisms were gone and that package is brilliant. I'd buy it over Up Close and Alone. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: AMAZING film! Review: This was one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. We have never before been exposed to the world of voting in this way. Watch this movie and you'll know EXACTLY why we all need to vote. This movie should be shown is schools across America. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: great! Review: just as described. delivered quickly. good deal. songs are great and the ones i wanted. what a voice. Blessed By God for sure! Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very Good Information Review: This book has very cool kits and new combat rules. Also, new weapons. I would give it a five except it was hard to find some inforemation and the font hurt my eyes. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Perfect Accessory for Fighters Review: If you have ever played the AD&D 2nd Edition, you know how some rules can get rather confusing. This book lists out every little detail about fighters. It also contains some nice illustrations. If you like to be a fighter, you must get this book Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good Book, Good Value Review: TSR's Complete Book of Fighters is one of rare 'kit books' that will go a long way to enhance any fighter, be they PC or NPC. For the most part the kits themselves aren't well balanced against each other, but on their own they are quite good and would require a minimum of tweaking to bring them into line with each other. For example, the Swashbuckler kit is vastly more powerful than the Peasant Hero kit as far as bonus abilities, skills, etc. Plus the additional background for non-magical or a fighters only campaign is interesting. It is a solidly written book with loads of information. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: How Ya Livin? Large & In Charge!!! Review: DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!!

Is this product review positive? Title: Hot! Review: I haven't read a book since...college.I recently went to Washington D.C. and picked up "How Ya Livin" at the airport.I can't believe how much I'm enjoying reading again!After each chapter I get sad....because I don't want to finish this book!This book is sooooo hot! Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Color Me Bored! Review: I have had this book for 2 months, but I can't get into. I keep buying other books, putting this one down and coming back to it when I have nothing else to read. I usually read books in a couple of days. I've read the reviews, therefore, I'm going to continue reading the book. Hopefully it will get greater later, but right now, I feel like it was a waste of money. I was in the bookstore the other day and picked up a book as soon as I saw that Jonathan Luckett was the author I put that book down like it was hot. I want to believe that the reviews regarding this book are accurate so I will finish the book and if I find that I was wrong about it, I'll come back and change my opinion. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: very watery for emu oil Review: I've tried three brands of emu oil and this was the worst so far. It was extremely thin and watery. I ended up returning it. Try instead "Emu Essence Naturals". It is wonderful -- more expensive but I don't doubt its purity, quality or freshness as I do this product. (I am just a consumer, btw, not affiliated with either company). Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: skin so soft Review: This stuff is wonderful! But you have to remember to shake the H out of it before you use it. At first it will look greasy, but absorbs gradually. A little goes a long way. Try it on your face before you go to bed...it's great Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Awesome Review: Works better than any lotion for dry skin and wrinkle reduction, I was totally skeptic to try it, but it works as well as the claims. I would definetily recommend this for anyone who has dry rough skin or who has a wrinkle or two to smooth out. My face has never been more acne free too, I am impressed. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: My order never arrived Review: Still waiting for my emu oil to arrive. I've tried emailing the company several times with no reply from them. I will be filing a claim with Amazon to get my money back.Be careful on ordering from this company. Their customer service is non-existent. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Blue bottle received! Review: The Emu oil i recieved was in a blue bottle and not like the one displayed here!There was no safetly seal on the bottle either. Won't order again! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: eh Review: my girlfriend told me to get this for my dandruff. its really expensive and doesnt really do much. if you have dandruff i recommend head and shoulders CONDITIONER. not reg. head and shoulders. that stuff kicks ass Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Never buying it from this company again Review: I got the product, the cap was missing and the oil was all over the packing. Don't buy this from this seller. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth the money!!! Review: Maybe because it is refined or that this oil was so watery, I did not see any results from this product, not my hair or my skin no difference. And I feel a little guilty that it was made from Emu, common what did Emus' ever do to you, JK! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: BUYER BEWARE.... Pump dispenser failure Review: Love the product! Convient pump failed to pump out product! The whole reason I went with this selection was due to the new design! When I notified the folks at AmericaRx, I was told ... the product directly came from the manufacturer they ship the products from new batch and we have shipped out the product in safe condition.As of now we are unable to reship another pump for your order. WOW, if you expect any customer service you won't get it there! Pay the extra and go straight thru the manafactuer!! BUYER BEWARE!! Thanks for nothing AmericaRx... SMH Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Clear, colorful book at a great value Review: ordered this book for my almost-3 year old boy who just loves trains- he loved looking at all the pictures! the book is good for children 3 and up, due to it being a fact-based/reference book. my boy will "grow on this" book which is great- that is the purpose of books- have lasting use! very colorful book with big, clear, appealing pictures, much like those from DK Publishing. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best Trains Book Review: I have seen $3 paperbacks more informative than this book. Very little variety shown. The book was more about the emergence of early American rails and trains and did not even explore the various types of trains and their origins and places where they are popularly used. I guess the thinness of the book should have been a clue. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Silly book with a cute cover and title... Review: Being a Paris lover I was interested in the premise of the book thinking it would be a cute story. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The heroine is completely silly and I found myself rolling my eyes constantly at her flighty decisions. Wait for this one on a discount shelf! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not a good read... Review: This is my first read for Robyn Sisman`s book. And I didn`t really enjoyed it but I don`t hate it that much... I was captured by the front cover of the book.. what did they say about don`t judge a book by its cover.. I should have known better... The story plot was to be something like a cinderella kind.. pissed off with boss, went to romantic captial city Paris & life turns in favour for the girl.. A handsome french hopelessly in love with her... Had the best days of her life in a weekend in paris.. The story just sounds too sweet to be true. It could be a suitable to just kill time but didn`t left much of an impression after it has been read. Didn`t live up the value of the hardback. Should have waited for the paperback. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: You Know What's Going to Happen Before You Even Read the Book Review: A young woman is thrilled to be chosen by her boss to accompany him to Paris for a business trip, but she is devastated to learn he has ulterior motives. (Wanna guess what these are? Yep, just what you thought.) She quits her job and decides to go to Paris anyway. Of course she meets a handsome Frenchman and of course there is heartbreak and of course she learns not to be so naive and of course she meets a nice person who offers her a better job and of course everything turns out okay in the end Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't waste your money or time Review: What a poorly written book with a foolish, annoying main character. I found that the author made many of the characters appear one way only to have them change and then go back and forth. This book made no sense and was a complete waste of time to read. In fact, I did not even finish it. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Wait, haven't I seen book-obsessed girl seeks to be a heroine before? Review: The main character in this novel is just like Catherine Moreland, only I don't think that you're supposed to be laughing at her and there's no Henry Tilney.And it was so cliche and stereotyped, to boot. I could tell what was going to happen before it even happened. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not the worst not the best Review: It was okay. I love Paris and was interested in revisiting it through a young woman's eye. I had been her age the first time I went to Paris and while I could relate to the clubs and atmosphere I found it could have been better. The characters could have had more depth and I kept thinking how much better the book could have been with a more skilled writer. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: A fun read Review: Molly is excited about taking a business trip to France, but she finds out that her boss doesn't have the best intentions with her. On the day they are supposed to leave for France, she quits her job. What's a girl to do? Go the France anyway! Molly makes a new friend, has a romance, and is reunited with a relative. She dresses, acts, and basically does things that she wouldn't normally do, and she has the time of her life doing these things! Weekend in Paris is a lot of fun. The ending isn't the traditional happy ending. You are left with a few possibilites for Molly's life. Maybe someday Robyn Sisman will give us a second part in Molly's life...? Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: fun summer reading Review: I think that this is a great summer vaction book. Fun and light hearted. A book about Europe and Love, what could be better? Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Boring Review: Started off as an interesting read. Turned quite boring quickly. The main character tries to step out of her mundane life into a wild weekend in Paris. The characters are not really believable and exist on extreme opposites. It was difficult to get through and an absolute disappointment Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: a weekend? 3 days that feel like 3 months! Review: The book started off good. It was funny and exciting and a good read....then somewhere in the middle i found myself checking how many pages were left until the ending and was dissapointed to see that there were still more then a hundred.unfortunately i never finshed the book. it was long and boring and her weekend felt like an enternity. entirely too mcuh stuff happened to her in a three day period. and she turned out to be a bit og a ding batjust my personal opinion Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Mildly Disappointing Review: I read a bunch of great reviews about this book before I bought it, so I thought I better post a comment that's more realistic. This book is easy (and at points, fun) to read, but it wavers between funny and dumb. The ending leaves something to be desired, and everything is a little too neatly wrapped up with coincidences. It certainly does not make me want to go to Paris (except for the Rodin Museum). Weekend in Paris strives for the tone of a Sophie Kinsella novel without quite getting it. Read Confessions of a Shopoholic instead. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great end to a great week! Review: I bought this book at Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. I read the book on the 9 hour flight home from Paris and could not put it down. I absolutely loved Molly's adventures through the City of Lights. If you've been to Paris, this novel will most definitly take you back. It was great to relive some of the adventures I experienced during my trips to Paris through Molly's adventures, such as the rollerskaters and the Rodin museum. If you're a traveller, a romantic, or both, you'll love this book!!! Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth your time Review: This book had potential....but was so overdescriptive it was almost unbearable. Could barely stand to read it. Do yourself a favour and don't. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: SAVE your money! Review: Reading this book was like watching paint dry. I forced myself to continue, because I just knew something was going to happen (NOT!) but nothing did. I hope this review helps. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not So Great Review: This book was almost painful to read at times. I cringed at some of the main characters actions. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the weakest, dumbest, most inane heroines ever Review: She has the sensibilities and personality of someone from the 19th century. Completely without wit or charm or intelligence. The reader is told that Molly's smart because she's been to university, but there's absolutely no evidence of it. In fact, she's perhaps one of the stupidest heroines I've every had the displeasure of reading about. Not to mention that fact that she's spineless. I felt like kicking her. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Read it as a Travelogue... Review: I do like Robyn Sisman's books. I've read most of it. However, this book lacks intensity and depth of characters and plot. The plot is too contrived, against all odds, characters from the past pop up with synchronised speed to tie up loose ends. It goes totally against the natural rhythm of the pace of normal life.All the characters seem on high, running on a carpa diem or seize the day mentality.One redeeming point is that it captures the Parisian bohemian spirit well, the French laissez-faire and their hedonist attitude on leisure pursuits. It reads more like a travelogue. If you have never been to Paris or have been and liked it, you may wish to enjoy some armchair travel with the vibrant description of Parisian life.I hope the next book by Robyn Sisman would be a big improvement over this one. "Just Friends", her earlier book remains my favorite and hope she can surpass her brillant mastery of "Just Friends". Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Wrong Picture Review: Looks like Amazon may have the wrong picture of this product. From what I can tell (looking on other sites), this is not an internal card. Just do a bit of research and be certain of what you are buying. Maybe they will update the pic and all will be well. :-)I don't have one so really don't know how they perform. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Very bad Review: This book is very bad. It is almost literally translated from Dutch. Most of the examples and cases are Dutch or associated with the authors' (Dutch) companies. Besides that the content is very weak. I am really disappointed. It is a waste of money. I recommend you not to buy it! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: fast but unreliable Review: This card reader works pretty fast, but watch out if you use the unit without the dock. The little USB jack is flimsy and will work itself loose (maybe from the torque of the short USB cord) after a while and I notice intermittent interruptions during file transfers. Last night it corrupted a 2G SD card when it shut down unexpectly during a transfer and all images were unrecoverable even through image recovery software.Needless to say I am not pleasedDo Keep it in the dock and use something with a fixed dongle.This is a piece of JUNK! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Flimsy stand and poorly designed slots Review: It's too easy to insert Secure Digital and xD cards at a bad angle. The inside of the slots are actually open so the card can easily fit in at an angle. I usually have to try a few times to get xD and SD cards to insert correctly. I'm worried that I'll eventually damage the card or the reader because of this.It also would not fully read files off my 2GB Corsair Secure Digital card. Images would come off corrupted or incomplete. Luckily, I have a spare Crucial SD card reader which works fine. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Works with linux, no drivers needed... Review: For those of you considering using this with your Linux system:This device works well with both Ubuntu Breezy (Dapper, too) and Fedora Core 5, no drivers required. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Product / Exactly As Described Review: I will not repeat the product description or the praises of previous reviewers, but will simply state that this product works precisely as described, connects elegantly and without software or drivers (in Windows XP and later Windows 2000 Service Packs) and includes a vertical stand (though, for the minimalist, the rubber feet on the unit itself secure it nicely horizontally without the stand).The Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader is small, aesthetically pleasing, and completely functional.Deserves no less than five stars. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Card reader Review: This card reader has so far been reliable and hasn't has any problems, although it is VERY slow with RAW images, esp. compared with the lexar. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Does not support Windows 7 Review: Went to the Sandisk driver download location and downloaded latest driver to make sure; it does not recognize or support Windows 7.Jim Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth the hassle Review: The SanDisk Imagemate 12-in-1, well the fancy name should be warning enough.It requires a driver to operate. Some cards show up on-screen as 'unreadable'.Why bother when, at a fraction of the price, you can get Transcend's Multi-Card Reader M3 which doesn't need a driver and has never failed to read a card?Sorry SanDisk, remember Kiss.. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: SanDisk ImageMate Review: Works like a charm. Saves a lot of time and batteries with my personal camera, game camera, MP3 player, etc... Even use it to make backups when I travel. Before you buy something like this, make sure it is writable. Most are only readable. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good while it worked..... Review: Went on the Sand Disk name. Bought the 12 in 1 but really only used one of the 12. Good product while it worked. Died on my at the worst time. Next to impossible to reach anyone to find out about warrenty.Will go with a different brand next time. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Card reader Review: Works great and priced right. Recently bought an 8GB SDHC that didn't work for the purpose I bought it. I was able to use this card reader and the SD card on my older PC as extra memory. The reader is fast. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Doesn't work at all for me Review: I've been trying for weeks to get it to reliably read my SD cards. I've got two different brands of cards (one SanDisk, one Corsair) and I tried 3 different computers, 2 PCs and a Mac, and pictures read from the card come back corrupted a good fraction of the time, even though they are good on the card (other card readers will see them). I got a replacement unit from SanDisk and it had exactly the same problem. Even just copying pictures to the card from my PC and then back onto the PC, results in corrupt images. The only constant in all of this the fact that the images were originally shot with the same camera (a Pentax) but it's hard to imagine that the camera that created the JPEG files could be a reason for the corruption.Online tech support tries to be helpful and they are prompt, but can't do anything but keep sending me replacement units. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not For Mac! Review: I ordered this based on the good reviews. And it is probably a good product for use with a Windows machine. The software isn't for Mac at all and none of the features works with Mac.I tried it anyway and it was a total disaster. The ONLY thing you can do is drag an image to the desktop. My little $2 no name CF reader works waaaay better. It's too late to return it due to the way it was packaged from the manufacturer. So I'm giving it to a young man that works for me. It was a total loss. It is a Windows world. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: DOES NOT WORK WITH VISTA Review: If you use XP and not Vista, I highly recommend this device. I would have given it 5 stars if it was compatible. I am giving it 1 star, because it is not clearly labelled on the package or on this product page. This is the first item I am having to return. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: really bad Review: this card reader only worked for about a month and then just quit. for a short time if i wiggled the card around i could possibly get it to read...but now nothing. buy something else! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Computer crash Review: I purchased this product because of the multiple good reviews. Though it should have been able to have been installed on my Windows 98 second edition, my attempt at installing the software crashed the computer. Dell was able to get it running after a very lengthy service call. They suggested that I get the Sandisk support group to guide me through the installation process but the same thing happened again. Neither Sandisk nor Dell has been able to get my computer running again except in Safe Mode. I have returned the product to Amazon and have purchased a new computer. Whether the problem was my aging operating system or the product I do not know, but I certainly won't risk this happening again. I'd have to rate this 0 stars, but this selection is not available. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bloated Software; Useless Drivers Review: This card reader requires a 30MB TransferMate application to access the individual slots. Why can't this USB hub run in Plug-And-Play mode?I got this card reader to work once, then I unplugged it and tucked it away until I needed it again. When I went to plug it in later, I was told the driver failed to load because Windows was unable to locate the software for it. That is bad!My PC is a DELL D820 laptop (WinXP Pro, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD) that I use for work as a software developer, and being a software developer, I feel pretty knowledgable with computers.This device should not be that hard to use!I've tried uninstalling everything, rebooting my PC, then reinstalling the software, but I can't get it to run the card reader any more.It looks pretty, but I recommend you find something simpler. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: I Thought it Would Work Review: I bought the Sandisk ImageMate 12 in 1 at Wal-mart and having read reviews here, I expected it to work well. It didn't. Installation instructions were incorrect for Windows 98SE, but I did finally get it installed. I renamed my files, it never happened. No way to put files where I would have chosen. The reader, plugged in and doing nothing, slowed my computer to a haphazard crawl. I'm going to try something else. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: does the job Review: I only have SD, Smart and Transflash (using SD adaptor). The reader does what it's suppose to do for these cards. Only complaint is that the light on the reader stay on ALL THE TIME and it's so bright I can almost use it as a night light. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Works well and fast Review: I have had other readers and this one is the best. The photos read very fast and the drive is easy to position on your desk. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Watch out for the older model Review: Pros:- generally good build, and desk stand is greatcons:* does not work with all usb cords. some really just dont register. just ridiculous.* using apart from the stand is retarded- it has a extra deep plug, so many standard usb cords simply either wont work or wont have pins long enough* dog slow- will never be taken for a speed demon, at all* older model looks EXACTLY the same, has the same part number (minus the three digits)functions badly* cannot do card to card transfer- what a wasteIf you can, stay away. More money definitely does not mean better in this case. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: More Form Than Function (Pins Easily Bend) Review: I'm always weary of people who are quick to give an item 5 stars and not truly give it a run for its money. This card reader is more form than function. I purchased it because we do allot of re-formatting. You can not be quick about inserting the cards and after a short period the pins can become bent making it difficult for the unit to recognize or read the card satisfactorily... I found the SimpleTech & Dazzle PCI Slot Card Readers to be a much better tool by far for our Laptopstrzrtree Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: 2 failures v3 & v4 Review: horrible purchase, i have 2, one for home and one for the office, one is v3, and one is v4, and both failed in about 1 year. not recommended. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Some problems but got it figured out... Review: If you buy this product, don't fall for the "no drivers needed" hype. This product can use the default drivers installed with MS-Windows operating systems, but I had trouble getting them to work correctly. After uninstalling the default drivers and replacing them with the drivers that come on the CD (for the OS you are using...Win95Se,Win2K,XP are on the CD) the product started working as advertised.My advice...install the newer drivers from the CD. They each have their own installation program and it couldn't be simpler. Plus, if you use the default drivers the drive icons are just generic. If you install the driver from the CD, the drive icons indicate which slot the drive is associated with (CF,SM,etc). Nice.Good product. I would recommend it. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Puked and Died Review: My SanDisk reader worked okay for about 18 months, then simply died. I only use it about once per month on average to transfer pictures from my digital camera SD Card to my PC, so it was not like it was overworked. I find it unacceptable that a solid state device getting extremely light use should simply die. After a lot of trouble shooting, checking USB ports, drivers, etc., no dice. I will be buying a replacement, but it will be a different brand. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good Prodcut Review: Does what it is supposed to. Easy plug n' play setup. Very useful for transfering media. No complaints. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Irritatingly fussy! Review: This is the only card reader I've ever had that I didn't like. It was always hard to get the cards in and usually took several tries before I could get them in straight. I finally gave it away and got a Kingston which works far better and is a lot cheaper. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: High quality, multi-format, flash card reader Review: The product is well made and works great. There are four slots for different types of Flash cards - see the product description for exact details. I purchased this item because it supports the new SDHC flash card used by my camera.The reader has a yellow power light indicating it is connected to an active USB port. It has 4 green leds; one for each slot indicating data activity on a given card slot. Each slot shows up on explorer as a separate removable drive. The unit comes with software that helps a novice copy files from a newly inserted card on/off it to the PC hard drive.The unit comes with a stand that allows the reader to be placed vertically on a desktop. It also comes with a 6 inch cord that allows it to be used without the stand and plug into a standard USB Type A port. The unit itself uses a mini-USB port. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Buggy Review: It worked for a while but soon I started getting autoplay boxes appearing for no reason. Couldn't figure out why until I unplugged the thing. Then it wouldn't read anything. I've had better success buying cheapo card readers at Frys. Less money and I haven't had any of them go bad yet. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Did not work with both of my computers Review: I bought this unit and with my desktop and laptop and after installing the cd (which the direcions say u should) it would not work at all. Occassionally, there would be blinks of the light going off but then it would die. I dont know whether this was a defective unit or its just did not work, but i returned it within an hour. I checked the Sandisk website and after following the directions the technical support gave me it still didn't work. I own a dell inspiron 8600 and a cyberpower system. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Working Review: I'been trying to read a minisd card for the past weeks and i still have not been able to do so... Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: doesn't work on XP Review: I used a different USB cable with the reader- and it stopped working with my XP laptop.The website says "fiddle with the registry and things will be OK". i did that, but no use.Although, it does work as an ugly paperweight. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: I might like it but, it is still sitting in Amazon's Warehouse Review: Typical of Amazon, lousy service. Never select so-called free shipping from this company. Amazon lied to me about the purchase. Said they were in stock, but a month later still no item. Supposed to ship in 5 - 9 business days, no quoting 29 business days. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great product Review: I have an almost constant stream of guests who rapidly fill up the memory capacity on their digital cameras and/or want to exchange images with others. Invariably they will not have their USB cable with them. I keep the reader permanently connected and on my desktop. This reader allows me to quickly create a CD for them or transfer images from one card to another. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Poor quality Review: I have been using sandisk porducts particulary their compact flash cards and when I needed a reader I bought this one. It worked 3 times and died. It has to be one of the most poorly made readers I've ever used. It indicated no software was needed but that not the case. It has to be unplugged everytime you use it.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT ITS GARBAGE! Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: James Titus Review: I have another San Disk product and it has never failed to operate properly and I expected the same from the 12-1 reader. So far I am extremly pleased with both its operation and its looks. It looks great on my computer table Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Great 12-in-1 Reader Review: Transfers files from many of my flash cards to my computer's hard drive seamlessly. With today's technology and the multiple flash memories, this reader covers it all! No drivers are needed to use this. It is definitely Plug-n-Play, meaning your Windows XP operating system recognizes this as a removable drive.I think the reviewer below (GSP_Fan) is confused with this device before purchasing it. This is not an intuitive device and should not be compared to a digital camera or digital camera's software. It's main purpose is to use the operating system's drivers to work in conjunction with the reader to download or copy files to and from a hard drive. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Dud Review: I bought this for my brand new iMac when the Windows laptop I previously had died (and took its built-in card reader to the grave with it). I needed a reader that accepted multiple formats because one of my Nikons uses SDs and the other CFs. I thought SanDisk made good products ...Until I'd had this for about a month. It intermittently refused to sense the SD card, and when it did, and I copied the pictures off, then would not release it again.I now have a $20 doorstop.I haven't tried it with other types of cards, but have no reason to trust it. This is the last SanDisk card or card reader I ever buy. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: It worked well....once Review: Here's my review: I bought it, I received it, I unpacked it, I used it...ONCE, with a mini-SD card. Worked fine. I unplugged it, I replugged it in. My system wouldn't recognize it. My other laptop wouldn't recognize it. My wife's laptop wouldn't recognize it. I called SanDisk tech support. They ran me through a few drills, and then gave me a case number and told me to return it to get a new one. I'm returning it. I'm not getting a new one. And given that I recently had a SanDisk Cruzer 1MB flash drive crap out on me, and Tech Support told me the same thing (return it--get a new one), while referring to me to a third party service that MIGHT be able to help recover my data...I don't know....call me loco, but I'm pretty much done with SanDisk. Kingston, here I come! Lesson from this story: buyer beware. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Terrible Review: I bought this a few dollars cheaper than a new one. IT'S BROKEN. I can't get it to read any of my memory cards. WASTE OF MONEY. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: A piece of junk Review: I must have a slow learning curve. I actually kept on buying this reader hoping that the next one would work. It didn't. Each one punked out regularly. Sometimes it wouldn't read the card from my Nikon. Another time it wouldn't read the card for my Leica. Now it is just sitting there looking like a piece of abstract sculpture. My advice: don't go near it. I can't believe that something like this is on the market. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Pleasure to use Review: Excellent product, easy to use for a 70+ Senior Citizen. Installation is 1-2-3 and photos transfer quickly. I would recommend this to anyone who is "not" computer savy. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice product Review: This reader works perfectly. Plug and play set up. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is that the cables may be too short for some people. For example, if you keep your PC on the floor but you want the reader on the desktop, the cable may not reach. I didn't have this problem, but other people will. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Does not work with 8GB SDHC cards Review: Be wary of this card reader. It will definitely work with older 2GB SD cards, but if you ever want to move into the present and future, you will not be able to read 8GB SDHC cards. Only some of this model of reader are forward compatible. Sandisk offers up this helpful chart here:[...]What part number are you buying? Why bother worrying. Don't end up with a paper weight like me; buy a card reader that is certified to work with 8GB cards, or better yet, a reader that will work with cards that have even greater capacities. Answer:	No
Is this product review positive? Title: Sandisk 12 in 1 review Review: Works great. It handles all of our different digital film cards with no problems. I now have 3 of these around the office. Answer:	Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Happy again getting pictures onto lap top Review: This was recommended by a friend of mine who is a computer expert. The Sandisk ImageMate is easy to install and easy to use. I am very happy with this item Answer:	Yes
