I highly recommend this TV. The picture is superb, both with a DISH satellite receiver and with a DVD player. The sound quality is as good as I've heard from internal speakers; I am using it as a center channel for my home theater and am quite satisfied. This TV is very compact and looks good. The glare and center channel input keep it from getting a 5 star rating. High Points* Great pictur...

 The JVC Everio HDD Camcorder has been great for our video needs. We had a daughter born almost a year ago and our old camcorder bit the dust about 2 months after her birth. Well as anyone knows, when it comes to newborns, you don't want to miss a thing. So we went out and found this beauty. What I love about it is there are no tapes or discs involved. Everything is recorded start to a...

I have used this computer in the past, and have found it to be a decent machine. In the beginning, I was having trouble with the wireless card (Intel 2200BG). The connection to the server would frequently reset when the router (WRT54G) was set to G-mode. However, Dell sent another card and it appears to have fixed the problem. Before, I had a Dell Inspiron 4150. The 4150 was a reliable notebook...

I recommend Teva sandals shoes whether you will be walking in the city or spending the day on a boat. I wore my Tevas all over the St. Lucia Sandals resort. I spent the week at the resort with my wife just walking uncomfortable everywhere. My Tevas were great on the boats and hiking the islands! And they did not take up much space in my suitcase! Teva Sandles' Pros: Teva sandals are good in...

 The Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Laptop is the best the laptop in the line of ThinkPad's I have owned. I have been in the IT field now for about 6 years, and each of those years I have owned a ThinkPad as a Laptop, and each they kept getting better. But the T61 is just flat out amazing. They bring to the table now a wide screen with amazing memory capacity. I have 4 GB of RAM on this laptop an...

This TV is known as the people's HDTV. I had heard about Vizio HDTV's for over a year on the radio. The announcers would just give rave reviews about it. But for me, since it wasn't a big name brand, I didn't know how much I could trust the radio ads. Then a few weeks ago my wife told me I had to go to Wal-Mart and check out this HDTV. Again, I just couldn't believe that thi...

RIM's Blackberry 8820 is the newest of the Blackberry family. This just came out in September 2007. I have used blackberry's for the past 6 years. I have used just about every blackberry out there. The 8820 has been the best model to date. I say this because the ease in use with this model has been great. Blackberry switched the wheel tracking device from the side to the front, which ma...

 The Viewsonic 20 Inch Black LCD HD Monitor is amazing. This is the second monitor I have bought from Viewsonic and I don't think I will buy another brand. The picture quality is great; my eyes have never felt better when I leave the office at the end of the day. The best thing I like about this monitor is that it is widescreen. I can see so much more on my screen than usual. I work in...

RIM's Blackberry 8700c, was the first in the Blackberry series in becoming part of the cutting edge of PDA technology. I owned one about a year ago, and coming from using the older Blackberry models, I felt like I was top dog of PDA's. The 8700 was the first in the Blackberry series to start use .mp3 ringtones, which for today's age of phones is pretty important. I really liked the ...

RIM's Blackberry 7130c was the first in the Blackberry model series that made the blackberry look like a phone. The 7130c is small and doesn't look like your typical blackberry model. I think that was the attractiveness of this model, was the size. Before with previous blackberry models, users thought they were too big to be used as phones, you always felt like you had a big shoe box by...

RIM's Blackberry Pearl has taken the blackberry world by storm. The Pearl is the first blackberry to have a camera phone and be an mp3 player. The Pearl replaced the 7100 blackberry models, late last year, and really hasn't looked back. I work in the IT and everyone that had a blackberry wanted the Pearl. So I got one and tried. This model is very slick. I really liked it; it was lighte...

RIM's Blackberry 8800 is probably the best of the best in the PDA field. I loved this model of blackberry and the only reason I don't use it anymore is because the Blackberry 8820 came out about 2 months ago with Wi-Fi. Other than that, I have no complaints with the Blackberry 8800. This model was release right after the BB Pearl and finally gave BB users that liked the Pearl for MP3 re...

RIM's Blackberry Curve is the only model that could have stole me away from my Blackberry 8800/8820. The Curve was released mid 2007 and gave for the Pearl a run for its money. The Curve is a bit smaller than the BB 8800/8820, but has a full keyboard, mp3 player and has a camera. The Curve also offers a very light weight feel, giving it the illusion of an actual cell phone weight....

The Bumbo Baby Sitter by Lilac must be the greatest invention ever. We heard of this product during our pregnancy but really didn't want to spend the money if we didn't need to. But as our daughter grew to around 3 months and when she just didn't want to sit up, we got worried. Then a friend begged us to buy a Bumbo Baby Sitter. So we broke down and bought one. We were instantl...

My wife and I are big travelers; we go out of state, out of country and across town to friends. Now that we have a daughter, it's tough to travel.  The biggest challenge is that we never have a place to put her down to sleep.  Finally, a friend of ours told us about the Graco Pack 'n Play. They mentioned how portable it was and how easy it was to set up and break down. We...

We purchased the Grand Caravan SXT used (Program Vehicle) in late December 2007. We needed a 7 passenger vehicle to accommodate our children and family and this one fit the bill. It gets slightly better gas mileage than the  Ford Windstar it replace (averaging 18.3 to 22.3 mpg). The Caravan has less interior room (Body width appears narrower) than the Windstar. The back bench seat wil...

We just got this big guy and so far really like it. We went from an escape up to this. The interior is great. Comfortable, roomy, user friendly. I love the look of the exterior. We don't have the Hemi, but have great get up and go. The gas mileage could be better, but what can you expect with such a big truck. Smooth ride, very quiet, fits all of us, from short to tall! Hopefully we don'...

ProsStylish, fully-reclining seat, easy to assemble, drives very smoothly.ConsA little pricier than other models (but worth it!)The Bottom LineThe smoothest stroller we found. Stylish and appropriate for a boy or girl. Very easy to use. You'll love it! We needed to buy a new stroller for our first child, and after looking at many styles & models, settled on this one. We are ha...

Pros: Gender neutral colorsCons: Had one recall, but we were notified immediatelyThe Bottom Line: We love this car seat and would highly recommend it to others!        To be honest, one reason we liked this car seat was because it was Eddie Bauer. That brand has a great reputation of wonderful quality and it also matched our type of car. Bonus! We also li...

We bought the 30 GB right after it came out and have not had a single problem. We use it daily with thousands of pictures, music and video files. We even bought software to put movies on it. I feel this is way better than the Zune that my friend has. The thumbwheel control took a day or so to get use to but is a breeze now. I highly recommended this. I have to tell you this too, I am not a big ...
