If you need a portable hard drive that is encrypted then this is the drive for you.

When I first got this drive I was looking for the software disk to install to make it work. Guess what, there is no software needed and no disk. So then I tried it with my system first (Win XP) and worked great. I went to my daughters Mac entered my pin number and worked great as well.

Great drive!
Apricorn Aegis Padlock 640

I thought I was purchasing a regular hardback copy of the “Cather in the Rye” and the product received was less than anticipated.

I received a book 7″ X 4″ that was a high school copy for a literature class at F.D. Roosevelt H.S. It really is a paperback with a new binding. Does that make it a hardback??? Technically one might say so but not in the spirit of what anyone who purchases books would call a hardback and it certainly was not worth the $15 I paid for it.

I am disappointed
Anti Skid Friction Dash

Wow, I thought this novel was quite entertaining. Never realized how many people thought it was supposed to be completely true or accurate. It’s just a story.
Official Annual PGA Tour

My new iPod Touch is great!! I’ve only had a few user problems with it (they were all user error lol) I wish their were more directions with it, that would really aid in use when your really not tech savvy!! lol!! Other that its great and I would recommend it to anyone!!
Science of Getting Rich

Kingsley Travel Cosmetic Bag

I listened to the unabridged audio CD version as I drove the last couple of weeks. I know that the book was (and is) a wildly popular bestseller, but I have to confess that the thought that kept nagging at me as I listened was why? I’m not saying this is a bad book. It is somewhat engaging. However, I didn’t find any of the characters particularly vivid or humanly multi-dimensional. And as soon as Rosie the elephant was added to the circus, halfway through the book, I had a (correct) feeling as to where the plot line was moving, so no surprise ending. I have no idea whether circus life in the prohibition era was anything like this, so can’t comment on the authenticity of the backdrop, but I found it pretty depressing. Altogether, a pretty so-so read.
Mac Cosmetics Mineralize Eye

I have had this scale for about 4 weeks. It is easy to use and easy to see the numbers. A feature that I love is that it locks in the numbers when you get off so you can’t kid yourself. I am keeping a running list and this makes it very easy.
Tripp Lite 3 Breaker

We were required to read this drek in high school. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now, 45 years later, that so many morons could act like lemmings in calling this tripe a masterpiece. If it is a coming of age story, it is about humanity itself coming to an age of self-loathing and self-pity; constantly the victim. Never responsible for their own shortcomings in failure to appreciate the privelege of existance. As I said; a first class moping piece of crap. Teachers should be fired for even suggesting an adolescent child or teen read it.
7 Ft 7ft Cat6

Looks like virtually everyone likes this HDMI 6′ cable and why not? One has to have been born stupid not to give this a try. At $2.21 and free S&H compared to $10 to $30 for the same useage cable? Just buy it and you won’t be sorry. It’s a steal. Buy several for future use too. What it does show though is that some manufacturers and retailers think we consumers are crazy and have to be harvested like so many brainless idiots. A wire is a wire and a connector is a connector. Yes the cable is light weight and might not survive long life if flexed all the time but if you simply need to connect one component to another, this cable is for you.
Lexerd Garmin Nuvi 200

This product works great, the only thing I would change would be the size of the text on the screen. Otherwise this is a great product I would recommend it to anyone. I like the fact that I can see how many calories that I have burned off.
