- Interesting to note that Network magazine (I don't remember the full title-
- but trust me the magazine does exist) says that of the less expensive models-
- two models stand out- the Zoom and the PPI. I've seen a number of magazines
- rate the Zoom at the bottom and a number at the top. Almost all magazine (all
- that use the ZD Labs) tests were done on the old and very buggy 1.10 ROM.
