The scale I was replacing always required that a light be on so I could read it. With this scale it lights right up and has nice big numbers.

I’ve had this for over a year now. I really like it except I can’t get the height to go over 4′10.

LOVE this! But what I love more is that I paid $24 when Pet Smart wanted $89!!!

I bught one of these for myself about 2 years ago. It works perfectly and a battery lasts about a year. I am a dancer and the pedometers I used in the past were never sensitive enough to record my dance steps; this one does. However it is discriminatory enough to not record riding along a rough road in the car. Also I found the separate recording of aerobic steps and total steps to be useful.

Then my girfriend asked for one for her birthday, so I got her one also. She loves it, says it makes her more likely to get out and walk on a rainy day which in our climate is a pretty useful feature.

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.

This vacuum was quite a surprise-I was looking at a more expensive canister vacuum but could not afford it. This vacuum has great power and does most of what I need it to do. The instructions to put the vacuum together leave much to the imagination-but I finally figured it out. The only thing I would change is the hose. It’s not long enough to reach very far with the tools. They do offer a longer hose and I would suggest getting it. All in all, I have been very happy with my purchase.

Let’s get something out of the way right now. I’m an IT Technician. I know computers. I have used Macintosh PCs since System 7 (but I have never owned one that uses Mac OS X). I have used Windows since windows 95 and currently run Windows 7 64-bit at home. I know how to use a computer.

While the iPod Touch itself is a masterpiece of design and engineering and has only a few very serious flaws (it required a hard reset within three days of acquiring it when the software volume knob stopped working, the price of the darn thing is outright insane, it only works with Apple codecs and the outdated mp3 codec, and just like every other mp3 player I’ve ever used it reads tags instead of file names (and doesn’t scroll names so you cannot read long song names {for instance I see 20 files called Magic Knight Rayearth – CD2} which results in song name sorting instead of artist sorting which would be logical)…oh yeah, and it requires the piece of crap that has been long known as iTunes.

iTunes is without a doubt the worst mp3 player/multimedia connectivity software ever conceived of by a deranged programmer. I tried it in version 1. Then I tried it in version 2. Apparently the bugs in those versions have not been fixed in version 9 because it still sucks. Why? Where do I start? I crashes. A LOT. It tries to duplicate every media file you have that isn’t in Apple format. It tries to organize your mp3s into a gazillion folders making it almost impossible to find an mp3 or use it in a playlist outside of iTunes. It will not play back movies in full screen (see comments). Its music and video converters are incredibly slow and create duplicate files everywhere. When you try to sync your iPod it keeps trying to sync EVERYTHING despite the fact that you do not have enough space. It does not auto-convert video files to the correct format when you try to synchronize them. It turns foreign song information into gobbly-gook instead of using the file names for information. It is horribl

This switch does not properly scan ports, your lucky if you get half the pc’s working the other half need to be rebooted to be detected each time you switch to them… same with PS2 version – Junk

We like simple appliances and don’t use bunches of bells and whistles. This vacuum fits the bill for us. It works beautifully and actually has such powerful suction that we need to clean our area rugs differently because it tries to suck them up. I’m thinking of getting one for our church because the price is right, too. Thanks, Hoover.

After seeing my students devour this book, I decided to give it a try and Wow!!! I came from Transylvania – the land of Dracula, and I am also teaching high school level, so this book hit home! Loved the style of writing more than anything. Sophisticated and well developed, the characters echoed their actions in my head for a long time after finishing the book. LOVED IT!!!!
