The intelligent chassis of the Linksys Network Storage System NSS6100 gives administrators and integrators the flexibility to optimize the NSS for performance, capacity and a company's storage and sharing needs. The NSS6100 includes four (4) 250GB hard drives and supports up to 75 concurrent, connected CIFS (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) users. Linksys NSS products bring robust NAS (Network Attached Storage) within reach of today's budget-minded workgroups and small businesses. They are ideal for storing, backing up, sharing and archiving critical information. The feature set of the NSS series set it apart from entry-level, desktop NAS systems, while at the same time its competitive pricing gives small businesses the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings when compared with more expensive storage systems.

Unlike other NAS systems, that need to contain operating system software on one or more hard drives in a NAS system, each Linksys NSS product features a unique and intelligent chassis that contains the Linux OS that controls it. This gives the NSS system added stability and reliability, as well as the flexibility to be configured without connected drives or reconfigured at any time - even hot swapping and resorting hard drives to different storage bays. This flexible architecture makes the Linksys Business Series NSS series ideally suited for budget-conscious companies that are constantly growing and evolving.

Linksys Business Series NSS products are also Linksys One Ready. That means they include the necessary firmware to be integrated into a Linksys One data or data/voice network.

Just a short throw to the perfect image. The new revolutionary WT610 short throw projector from NEC has the world's shortest throwing distance so that the presenter and audience can move about freely in front of the screen without obstructing the image. The WT610 can be positioned right up against the wall in places where space is limited or in informal situations where people are not sitting while watching the presentation, for example, exhibitions, live events, press launches etc.

The WT610 is the perfect fit for tight cubical office spaces, classrooms and retail environments where there is limited space and obstacles to the view. Business meeting rooms have become smaller and while normal front projectors require a throw distance of feet, the WT610 can achieve up to an 80" screen display in less than 18 inches. In retail settings, shelf space is at a premium and the WT610 with its short throw distance, vivid graphics and video display can enhance customer interaction without reducing the merchandising display area. In a classroom environment, the projector can be moved to the front of the class giving the teacher more freedom to interact with the students without worrying about stepping in front of the projected image.

Successor of the EF300mm f/2.8L USM, this is a next-generation wide aperture 300mm lens with a newly designed optical system to achieve even better image quality. Its one fluorite lens and two UD lenses completely eliminate secondary spectrum. It offers super high image quality with both resolution and contrast higher than ever before. And the image stabilizer that equals about 2 shutter speed steps maximizes the performance of the lens under all photgraphy conditions. Its autofocusing is the fastest in the world (when used with an EOS-3), thanks to a ring USM and improved drive algorithm. Closest focusing distance has been reduced to 2.5m, while operatibility has been substantially improved by full time mechanical manual focus, improved focus preset, and the introduction of an AF Stop function. The lens's super light design includes a magnesium alloy lens barrel and it offers good dust-proof and moisture-proof performance even under harsh conditions.
