Rock Throne Drum Stool

360-Degrees Swivel Seat / Sturdy Chrome Plated Base and Rubberized Feet
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Fantastic!
Bought this throne for my “Rock Band Drummer”son for Christmas. Great product, saved my stools, fast response time for delivery, good price, great value.
4 Stars Keeps you up.
While this isn’t the most sturdy, it serves its purpose. Easy to adjust and comfortable to sit on.
5 Stars Excellent!
The Drum Stool makes me feel like a real drummer. It sits a bit low so it took awhile to get used to. I love it!
4 Stars Good for Rock Band play
This is much better than the piano stool we used before for our son to play drums in RB and RB2. It is much more comfortable and it can swivel (or not) as the user chooses. I am unsure if it will hold up to hard use. I guess we’ll see.
2 Stars Not tall enough…..
Stool doesn’t go anywhere near high enough for reliable use for an above-average height (5′10″) guy to use with the drum set. Returned it within a few days.

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick Silver Black

Take complete control with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. Its 12 fully programmable buttons give you an incredible amount of flexibility and performance for the gaming-edge you’ve been looking for. The precise twist handle (for rudder control) includes an 8-way rubber hat switch that is similar to ones found in real combat aircrafts. Throttle controls rotate smoothly for extraordinary control. And the stable, extra heavy weighted base keeps you firmly grounded. The sleek design looks hot, too!

Very easy to use. I had no idea of what joystick to buy. I’m very happy I bought this one.
4 Stars great for my uses
i dont like how thin the base is cause i use it on my lap, but everything else works great, calibrated perfect, works with all my gta series great!
5 Stars It is well worthy! Nice to play with!
I have already had a experance about this joystick before! I am a student pilot,I found it wooks well.With flight 2004,I can take it as a simple simulator.It has force feed back and the rudder control !
5 Stars a excellent joystick
The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is a large, sturdy and precise joystick. You cant find a better flight controller in this price range. It has 10 programmabe buttons, a trigger, a button for rockets or missiles, a 8 way hat switch and a dedicated throttle. The handle also has one more function and that is to twist left or right for which I use for rudder control. Overall it is fun to use, easy to learn, assign functions and excellent in normal flight or aerial combat.
4 Stars Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
Great Joystick for the price. This is my second one. First one after several years lost the handle twist action functionality, but otherwise worked great. And at this price I don’t mind buying another occasionally.

5 Stars HUGE improvement over Norton Internet Security 2008
I wrote in my review of Norton Internet Security 2008 that I used the product - but despised it. The hit to my system’s resources was just too great, and I turned much of it off as a result.
The 2009 version is MUCH faster - to the point where I am leaving all options enabled. The hit to the system appears to be minimal. The user interface is simpler and less confusing also. Big improvements all around.
Be aware that the engines underlying Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 are reported to be different, with 360 using the older version (i.e., performance problems).
4 Stars security at a click
Norton Internet Security 2009 (3 User Edition) was easy to install and register. The security system scanned my harddrive immediately and resolving issues is quite simple. The protection offered is excellent, warning me immediately not to open an attachment if it detects the presence of a virus or worm.

Panda Antivirus Pro 2009 1 User

1-User
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Very good antivirus program
I found this program easy to load, easy to use, and a very good antivirus.
5 Stars Best Yet !!
Panda is one of the best Anti-Virus programs that I Have ever used.Its an anti-virus and a whole lot more.
Highly Recommended
1 Star Do not purchase if you have Lojack on your laptop
Purchased this product due to good reviews. I had it installed on my Vista laptop for under a week and the AV locked down my network connection (”to prevent the spread of the trojan”) due to a false positive on a file used by Computrace. Tried to uninstall it and it would not let me (within Windows and via it’s own Uninstall executable). Emailed in a request for help and two days later received a automated reply to update my AV and do a full scan. Apparently they did not read my email. The Company is located in Spain, so there is no stateside phone number to call. Did some research online and have found numerous folks have had the same problem (with false positives) for the past 5 years. They apparently have not fixed the problem. I am now working on getting a refund, but do not expect much.
5 Stars Panda Antivirus
I am no computer expert, yet I can set up Panda and run a virus scan all by myself! It is simple to use and very efficient. I have never had a problem with Panda and have used it for several years and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable program!
4 Stars Panda Antivirus Pro 2009
Panda Antivirus Pro is rated Good by many, we have had no problems with this software, updates regularly and does not intrude or bog down computer has kept our computers free of infections and spyware even malware removed with Panda Antivirus was easy to install about ten minutes we have had many different Antivirus programs and this one compares to all the better programs out there on the market today, allows me to work around it while it scans my system, you can even scedule this program to scan when you scedule it for your time not just what the manufacture sets as a time to scan this makes it easy when you don’t want any scanning being performed while you are busy or need to leave in a hurry and can not attend your computer while it scans

Bitdefender Antivirus 2009 1Yr 1Pc

BitDefender Antivirus 2009 provides advanced protection against viruses, spyware, and identity theft…. without slowing down your PC. It?s jam-packed with features including: IM Encryption, for confidential chatting; Gamer Mode, for secure gaming at top speed; Laptop Mode, to prolong battery life; automatic hourly updates; FREE 24/7 support; and more! SMALL BOX.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Bitdefender Antivirus 2009
I have 2000xp with dialup, so it was time consuming to download the initial setup. I changed from Kaspersky because I was unable to download their renewal after 10hours. My computer performs a tad slower with this system than with Kaspersky. It was rated the best on the market, and it seems every bit as good as Kasp. A one year subscription to this antivirus is $20+ cheaper than my former antivirus.
2 Stars Fine when it works right.
I discovered that this software’s effectiveness in keeping computers “clean” was highly rated by several software review websites. That gave me a lot of reassurance that I was making the right decision when I purchased this software.
However, I have had trouble with this product working properly since I first put it on my computer. It has at times shown me errors along with a “fix” button that does not work when I click it. And if it does have a problem, you don’t get alerted with a message popping up on your screen… you have to be attentive enough to notice a change in the tiny BitDefender icon running in your task bar, such as the icon turning grey or displaying a “warning” symbol. One alarming incident for me occurred when BitDefender quit working (turned grey) without warning while I was doing online banking, and I only noticed it after I had been on my bank’s website for a while. Who knows how long I was going through my accounts without any protection.
There are live staff people on hand to help you with any problems you are having with BitDefender if you go to the website. However, you have to find the proper link to get that help first. One of the frustrating things I encountered was a website asking you to download additional software and capture information into two separate files, presumably so that the BD staff could get a better idea of what was causing any problems you might be having. However, it didn’t tell you where to send that information, nor did the staff person ask me for it when I contacted them for help. I have at this point reinstalled BD three times, and this third time perhaps might be the charm, because so far this time it’s working very nicely.
2 Stars Don’t
Customer service sucks; there effectively is no meaningful help if this thing stops working, so just go buy something else.
1 Star Slow down computer, Hard to uninstall
Install & setup was easy, ran ok the first day. Second day I notice my computer was very slow - loading of internet site was very slow and opening and closing programs. Had a lot of trouble trying to uninstall program, kept telling me it was installing program. After about the 3 or 4 time was able to uninstall. With Bitdefender removed, computer responsed faster. Install the free program AVG antivirus, very is running normal, no slow down.
That are alot of good reviews on Bitdefender, but I don’t know if most of the reviews was on a Windows Vista system.
