We evaluated about a dozen of the best units from a number of manufacturers including Haworth, Herman Miller, Allsteel, Humanscale, Steelcase, Keilhauer, Paoli and others.  The tests were not the 5-minute musical chairs variety all too often used to speed the decision process.  We rotated chairs and the testers had to live with them for a month at a time.  The overall test took more than a year.  We got all the test models in basic black to avoid skewing the results based on appearance.  The testers ranged from a 4'10" woman who weighed less than 100 pounds to a 6'5" , 265 pound former hockey goalie with a bad back.  While several others were highly rated, the Zody was the only one we tested that 100% of the testers liked. Once adjusted properly (and this was very important—see below) most testers did not want to give it back!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The results were so consistent that I ended up purchasing one for my wife who has a herniated disc and other lower back problems. In two weeks of using this chair in her office, her lower back spasms all but disappeared.  The transformation was amazing!  Now her office mates fight over it when she is away on vacation.  It is a shame her boss is too cheap to buy the entire staff this great chair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A note on adjustment:  Once we started delivering the Zodys, we noticed that several users simply kept them in the original factory configuration.  That is wrong for practically everyone.  Haworth has an excellent web site that graphically explains how to adjust the chair. The instructions that come with it are fine too.  The key is getting employees to follow up and actually get it right.  The adjustable seat pan is one of the best features and definitely worth the small upcharge.  While the adjustment procedure is more complicated than a chair like the excellent Humanscale “Freedom”, once the key adjustments are set (seat pan location, seat back tension, lumbar support location and tension, seat height) most people will be happy with them without further tinkering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The price for this chair is also extremely competitive.  There simply is no down side to the Zody.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Steve</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:47:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Spanning Sync: Google Calendar&amp;#8217;s best friend.</title><link>http://www.connectreviews.com/2007/05/29/spanning-sync-google-calendars-best-friend/#comment-25929044</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Works perfectly!

I am waiting for current 2 year stint to end to get a cheaper price. So far, this looks amazing. I have seen reviews with stock Behold II and look forward to chance to update to Android 2.0 if needed at all. Since it is a new phone, I would expect some hiccups to show, so hopefully I get a batch that has been revised at least once when I get mine. Looking forward to the unlimited possibilities it seems. Been using flip phones since 2006, have been wanting to add functionality for a long time. Does POP exist on these phones when used with WiFi? Also, have seen that 3G can't be turned off, has anyone came with a way to fix this and make it more selective? For example, when at work, signal strengths aren't that great, would rather use WiFi capabilities for any browsing or web related activity. Currently get with the Beat about 2 to 0 bars inside work, when I move around I do get better strengths.

Went overseas, didn’t get to contact them about it again till I came back recently. Thought they know it was bad out of the box, the only thing that matters to them is that the warranty period has passed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Its a good thing that companies like Newegg, Logitech, Kawasaki, Hyundai, and a host of other still have a sense of fair play &amp;amp; ethics. I am sure that they are capable of making a decent product most of the time, but I don’t do business with companies like Cardo.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Geo</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:50:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sprint MiFi 2200 by Novatel Wireless Review</title><link>http://www.connectreviews.com/2009/08/10/sprint-mifi-2200-by-novatel-wireless-review/#comment-24503803</link><description>&lt;p&gt;So i've got a plan for over two years which is an unlimited data for my old aircard, im elegible to upgrade but i dont want to lose the unlimited plan, sprint says they're not sure if at the time of update activation, their system will ask them to swich to the 5gb plan or not.... I'm trying to figure this out but even their billing team dont know, i called and didnt get an answer.. so i thought about buying the MiFi at full price and just activate it but then they said it might ask for the plan to change to 5gb, which to me doesnt make sense... It sounds to me like they want to get me into the 5gb plan, anyone out there that has done this??&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Beto P.</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:44:22 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Canon VIXIA HF S10 AVCHD Camcorder Review</title><link>http://www.connectreviews.com/2009/08/19/canon-vixia-hf-s10-avchd-camcorder-review/#comment-24503808</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I love the HF S10 but need a to down load the memory to a portable hard drive, the DVD recorded that Canon offers can not recode enough data on sd DVDs to be useful.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TonyR</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:24:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sprint MiFi 2200 by Novatel Wireless Review</title><link>http://www.connectreviews.com/2009/08/10/sprint-mifi-2200-by-novatel-wireless-review/#comment-24503802</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I just purchased the Novatel from Sprint and am very impressed with its performance. I've done several speed tests and it is about average in download an upload numbers. However, that is very impressive when you take into consideration the compactness, ease of use, and portability of the "card."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To answer the question, can it be used with an itouch? The answer is absolutely yes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In summary, this is the future of internet access, and the next generation of devices will be nothing short of amazing.
