I started using this bean-bag friction mount when I bought my first serious Garmin GPS (the 2720) and continued to use it on my subsequent Garmin GPS units (2830, nuvi 350, 750, 285, 500, etc.). It worked but it wasn’t perfect for my needs.

I travel often and needed a mount that I could put in my briefcase and although I could with this one there were a few drawbacks:

* Since it is full of lead-shot it showed up as a dark mass when I sent my bag through the scanners at airports and they had to manually search my bag unless I took it out first

* The mounting arm and bracket has to be taken off of the mount before storing in a bag (the little pieces tended to move around in my briefcase making them hard to find). Not a big deal unless you are looking for them at night while standing in the cold or rain at the rental car lot

* I found that it was not very stable when used in certain vehicles (I rent all kinds of cars on my trips, most were fine, some weren’t)

When Garmin came out with their flexible friction mount I bought one right away. I found that I could fold it flat without taking the arm or the bracket off; it is lighter and has no lead shot so it was not a problem at airports; since it conforms to the dash it works better for me on a wide variety of cars and SUVs.

Some people will like this one better and some will prefer the other one, either way they are both good units and you should be happy with whichever one that you chose.

The Wii is a great system for the young and old. I bought mine a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I use it just about every day! I’ve even had Wii parties where friends come over and we play Wii games. I’d highly recommend this system to anyone with families, single people, couples, or people with disabilities!!
Battery for Apple Macintosh

One thing you might not notice unless you read the product description carefully is that the USB Ethernet Adaptor is now included with the computer. So it is a mystery that this adaptor is listed as a commonly purchased accessory for this model. I almost bought one myself.

The MacBook Air is an unexpectedly nice aesthetic improvement in using a computer. Lightness, thinness and silence (with the SSD) make a surprising difference. Another thing I like compared to the MacBook Pro is that the edges of the case are tapered, not sharp 90 degree corners that scrape your arms. Particularly if you are considering the 13″ MBP, the MBA is definitely worth a serious look.

After searching for a decent armband I ordered this one and it works great. You can see the screen and move the wheel no problem. I am an avid runner and this works great.

I love my Kindle! This is exactly what I was looking for in an e-reader. It’s not trying to be any kind of all in one device (although it does have some “experimental” additional features) – it is optimized for reading. If you are the type of person who is always in the middle of a book, or two, or three, and want to replace all the bulk with an electronic format, you’ll be very happy. You should be aware that the screen of the Kindle is “e-ink” – not like a phone or a laptop screen. There are two big differences between the two types of screens: first, “e-ink” can be read in daylight without any significant screen glare, but you will need to provide a light in order to read in dim conditions. Second, “e-ink” does not require nearly the battery power that a traditional screen does – so your battery lasts much, much longer. I charge my Kindle about once a week. I am very impressed with the convenience features like changing the screen rotation and text size. I love the ability to add notes and highlight content, clip articles from magazines, and search everything on the Kindle. I’m also using the Kindle to help with learning Spanish – I switched the default dictionary to a Spanish – English dictionary, so that when I’m reading in Spanish, I can get the English definition of a word simply by moving the cursor next to it. I love how easy it is to plug the Kindle into my PC and transfer pdf files – I just got a new phone, and one of the first things I did was transfer the phone’s user manual to my Kindle. It works with the PC just like a flash drive, and pdf files don’t need any conversion to be read on the Kindle. One thing I’d like to see improved is I’d like the ability to add tags to my library items and sort the home screen by those tags – the sorting options are limited. I provided that feedback to the address given in the Kindle’s user materials, and got a personalized reply very quickly – so even the service has been great. If I weren’t afraid to r

I’ve had mine for about three years now. When mom wanted to get a similar cleaner, I made sure she bought exactly this one. Whether the new ones are improved, I don’t know, what I do know is this one works.

I just went through an awful period of an aging dog who had to be put to sleep just last week. He was losing control of bladder and bowels and had a cancer growing in his lungs causing him to cough up some really awful stuff. I didn’t even always have time to use heated water. The Hoover was standing by all the time. Even with cold solution, the cleaning was amazing. If you saw the carpet now, you’d never have a clue I had a sick, dying dog spitting up and having “accidents” all over the place.

I think my only complaint is that the top, curved, plastic part where the fluid is sucked up out of the carpet tends to clog with carpet fibers, pet hair, the like (no matter how well you vacuum first). However, I discovered it’s held in place by only three screws that are easily removed and then easily cleaned.

I paid about twice what they cost now. Still worth every dime.

This book is excellant. It is very well written and very thought provoking. Although it took a few chapters to get into the rythmn of the book, after that point I couldn’t put it down. Excellant for Book Clubs!!

I like this scale for its consistent accuracy and easy to read display. A bonus is its sleek look–no ridges to keep clean like my old scale which gave 4 different weights when stepped on 4 times in succession.

Apparently the batteries that came with it were old because the display said “Lo” and wouldn’t register my weight. After I bought and inserted new batteries, it worked just fine.

It takes a hard heel thump rather than a light tap to turn on but I consider that a minor issue.

I thought the cost reasonable and wouldn’t hesitate recommending it.
