3 Stars The good, the bad, and the ugly
Pros:
1. Small, convenient, takes up little room on my desk.
2. Vista compatible. That’s rare, if my searches are any indication.
Cons:
1. Delicate. My first one quit in 2 days. (The company exchanged.)
2. Temperamental. Especially when hot. Try not to use for more than 5-6 hours, or it will simply develop static and kick you off line. It can even disrupt your landline service if plugged into the same UPS.
3. Once heated up, it takes hours to cool down again.
