Summary: Product Reviews In General


Maybe it behooves us all to not only question apparent discrepancies in product
performance reviews but to request the test configurations/conditions and the
data input/output.

It would be most helpful to those who must make real-world decisions based
in part or in whole on product reviews to have this kind of kind of information
so that test results may be replicated.  I think PC MAG/Tech Journal would
be providing a tremendous service if we could simply circle a reader service
number to request this info.  I believe this info is available from consumer
product test labs.  Why not PC MAG/Tech labs??

A letter to the editor of each of these magazines expressing concern over
the test results and your desire for the information that lead to the results
may well get the ball rolling.


Cheers!
