After multiple attempts at other devices to hold your NUVI in place, this is light years ahead of anything else. The best part is that it is more portable, and stays put. When you leave the vehicle, simply move it so no one thinks you have a GPS in the car. Saves on a potential break in by someone looking to steal your device. Velcro NEVER sticks, and you don’t have to keep cleaning your windshield!

The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.

I purchased this card (Transcend SDHC 4GB) to use in my new Dell Mini netbook specifically for Readyboost.

The Readyboost feature in Windows 7 actually works unlike Vista. If you are unaware of the Readyboost feature, it basically enables your PC to use a memory card “like” RAM. It actually takes advantage of Windows Superfetch technology.

A high speed card is neccessary to use the Readyboost feature. This card is working perfectly for this purpose.

When you plug the card into your reader, Windows 7 will prompt you if you are wishing to use this for Readyboost or other purposes.
If you select the Readyboost option, Windows will tell you this card is not qualified for Readyboost.
This is because this card does not come formatted in the required NFTS format. Just right-click on the card under “My Computer”, then left-click “format”, select the NFTS format and your good to go. BTW, make sure the “Quick Format” box is checked.
After formatting is complete right click the card under “My Computer” again and select properties. In the new window that pops up.
You will see a tab marked “Readyboost”, click on it. From there, tou will have the option to allocate some of the free space on the card or there’s even a box where you can dedicate the card for Readyboost.
Vivitar Series 1 High

Who wouldn’t love a modern Romeo and Juliet story? This book turns my heart inside out each time I reread it. I’m a lover of great books, and I think this book will be around for decades to come—it is magical!

I can’t exactly add much to the already glowing reviews on this product, but I had to add my two cents. I was doubtful that a vacuum at this price could actually provide quality cleaning. I was wrong. I haven’t had it too long, but it picks up just about anything on both thick carpet and tile floor. My husband is allergic to dust-mites, which is the reason we bought this vacuum. It actually seems to be helping.

I purchasedthe newer version of the scale and I found it to be marginally accurate. I called the man at Eatsmart and he told me to try it over the weekend and if I still didn’t want it, he would send me a new one!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t have to ask. I called him today and he said he would do just that. I have never come across a company that tried to satisfy its customers like this. Ever!! If you need a good scale without frills, there is no question in my mind as to where you should go. Eatsmart products and the company owners are the very best.

Our Eureka Altima was falling and cracking apart after 3 years of usage. I read a very favorable review from Consumer Reports and saw this on Amazon. I’m very pleased with its performance and features. I used to like the visual aspect of seeing the bin fill up on non-baggged vacs; but after using this unit for a few weeks now, that’s not an issue. I do like the red indicator on the front of the unit to give me an idea when the bag needs to be replaced. The headlight on the unit is very bright compared to other vacs we’ve used. It helps in the darker corners and other areas such as beneath coffee tables etc. It seems a touch quiter than our old Eureka. I feel we’ll continue to use Hoover products from here on out.

I see that in the negative ratings here the people simply misunderstood what these are for. They are to move your camera in CLOSER to the subject and simulate a macro lens. What they do is essentially act as a magnifying glass. And like one, you need to move it in and out till you find the appropriate distance for it to work properly. This is not a tele-converter.

I find they work quite well. I have had macro lenses in which the subject takes up the sensor, a 1:1 ratio. These however allow for the subject to assault the sensor. Instead of life size these make for race of super giant monster sized. Ultra macro can be achieved with the small expenditure of fifteen bucks.

I find there is no outstanding vignetting or aberrations. At the highest magnifications there is an extremely shallow depth of field, so be sure you are prepared to work with that if you plan on working in those types of magnification.

Overall a great product, and with macro lenses starting at $500, I encourage you to sacrifice just a little of that macro lens fund to just give these a try and see if you can’t go spend that extra money saved up on a hot date, camera geek.

This print server installs flawlessly in Windows 98, It installs with a bit of effort in Windows XP, but in Linux I gave up. Documentation stated the obvious and left everything else unanswered and I am still waiting for their tech support to return my e-mail. A [inexpensive] Print solution if you don’t need ease of installation or any tech support.

I saw the movie Twilight, several weeks ago, purely by accident. I’m so glad I had recalled hearing something positive about the story in a review I had read and took the time to view the movie. I immediately bought the book and since have read it twice. I must commend the author for her truly unusual and captivating story. It’s my understanding this story came to her in a dream and I count myself lucky she had the dream and wrote it down to share. The story is about a 17 year old high school student, who at first comes across as somewhat ordinary, but who is anything but. She is full of self doubt, has a problem with coordination, lots of typical teen angst, but with a core of unbelievable inner strength. And then we meet Edward Cullen, whom we discover is a “vegetarian” vampire. Edward’s physical beauty if often referenced throughout the novel, and having seen Rob Pattinson’s portrayal of him in the movie, I luckily had a face and physique to put with the character in the novel. I would have to say, great casting. While Edward has a great many gifts such as super human strength, speed, agility, he too is much like Bella. Full of self doubt, unsure of his place in the world, unable to befriend or connect with humans. He leads a fairly solitary life, surrounded only by his adoptive family. To me, the most beautiful part of the story is the gentle and tender way Bella and Edward find each other, share their secrets with each other and come to the knowledge they are soul mates, however challenging that path is to them both, being of two different worlds. Some the passages in the novel where Bella and Edward speak to one another truly takes my breath away. This is a mesmerizing, romantic, engaging novel I know I will read over and over as time goes by and enjoy every word with each reading. In a word, enchanting!
