Customer Review: Ignore the post below
To give this 1 Star is frankly insulting and ignorant. Yes you also need the magic memory stick to upgrade the PSP, but this battery tool does EXACTLY what Datel advertise it as doing - namely putting your PSP into Service Mode. Buying this saves you having to mess around manually modding/soldering a standard battery (with no gurantee of success) to make it a Pandora one, and (if you are a Slim PSP user like me) it means you DO NOT need a Fat PSP to perform the upgrade.
Customer Review: Only half a tool, be aware more is needed
Datel are very misleading with this tool, be aware that this is only half the tool needed. To fully use this you will also need a magic memory stick to complete to job. If you have a magic memory stick already and no Pandora battery this is perfect, otherwise its totally useless

Customer Review: More powerful than the average
I really have noticed that duracell 9 volt batteries last longer and provide more of a shock to my tounge than most 9 volt batteries. They are also hardwearing, not that this is particularly important for a battery, but there are some cheap ones that break basically from falling on the floor! These batteries managed to power a range of electrical appliances in my house, and that is all I`m asking of them. Let`s face it: batteries are basic, and with these ones perfection is almost there. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 was because they are not rechargable - simple as that. Mind you, I wouldn`t spent too much effort trying to buy these online - most good convenience stores stock these, and deffinatley all hardwear shops, so if I were you, I would just get out there and get them by hand.
Customer Review: Brilliant
Duracell produced these to provide power to certain electrical goods. They provide power to certain electrical goods. Basically, you can’t expect much more from a battery

MicroMat Techtool Pro 4 Universal (Mac)
List Price: ?111.63
Amazon Price: ?79.99
Customer Review: doesn’t do much - and takes a long time about it!
back in the old macOS 9 days, micromat made a couple of good disc utilities. since the advent of OSX hower, they’ve really lost the ball and techtool pro is a classic example. first off, let’s get one thing clear; this “disc repair” utility doesn’t actually “repair” anything much. think i’m kidding? - well i’m not. techtool pro will spend hours [literally!] scanning your disc and e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y present you with a report telling you what’s wrong but it doesn’t actually fix anything beyond the odd missing ‘custom icon’ or incorrect bundle bit. if your mac’s really playing up [crashing frequently, files disappearing etc], the chances are your disc’s got directory damage - and techtool pro can’t help you there. you’ll need to use something like discwarrior by alsoft [also available on amazon] to repair the disc. so what exactly does techtool pro offer that the free [bundled with the system] disc utility doesn’t? well apart from being able to impotently tell you your disc needs repaired [at about a tenth of the speed of disc utility] not a hell of a lot. oh yes, there are a whole bank of tests lined up in it’s revolting 70’s sci-fi styled interface, but do you really need to waste good money on a utility to tell you such things as whether your internet connection is working, whether your sound port is working, how fast your processor is and whether your RAM works or not? techtool pro does also offer a ‘disc optimising’ routine which defragments your hard drive. anyone who used to curse the norton utilities defragging routine under classic, when it used to take an hour or so to optimise a 20GB or so drive will be pining for those days once they set techtool pro’s ’slug-on-mogadon’ optimising routine going. i’ve left it overnight on occasion and crawled bleary-eyed from my pit in the morning to find it still barely halfway done. this is one seriously s-l-o-w piece of software [in all of its functions]. there can be few more dispiriting sights than gazing forlornly upon techtool pro’s apparently stationary progress bar when it’s about a third full and watching the text below which says “step 345254 of 6312950″ slowly incrementing at the rate of about one every second. this is a terrible piece of software [if you don't trust my opinion, check out the reviews on versiontracker or macupdate] - avoid it like the plague!
Customer Review: BUY IT NOW!!
This is something you should buy now, rather than when you have a problem! Together with Disk Warrior, Tech Tool Pro offers a complete solution to pretty much any problem you will have, barring a electronic fault (it can even warn you if a hard drive is failing & where. Excellent software - that works even better if you have it installed on a separate emergency boot up drive (you would be advised to do this if you want disk optimisation) These days you can get a fast Hard drive pretty cheap & then install OS X + Tech Tool Pro & Disk Warrior and have the best emergency disk you could ask for, and not break the bank.

Customer Review: Absolutely useless
Like other reviewers, I have been very disappointed. Another major criticism, you cant put in many garden/house features - a conservatory, pergola, greenhouse, shed; utility area. You cant have a walled garden. In fact you cant do much!
Customer Review: Very Disappointing
I think I've given this my best shot but it doesn't come up to the mark. Clumsy to use overall. Picking plants takes ages because of the interface; and almost all of the plants I wanted - which are common in the UK - don't appear in the plant selection which is US based. The final crunch was the problem it creates with user accounts. The software won't run in a limited user account but that doesn't stop windows installer trying it's best and slowing everything down to a crawl while it attempts the installation process. I'm told it's a problem with the software and would need a re-write to get round. Not my best purchase.
