This is an update to the March 2008 review. It now Feb 25th 2010 and no problems. In fact we now have expanded the office and have 8 lap tops running off this router constantly and and when we have visitors like recently we had 14 laptops running off of the same ONE router.

So after 23 months no problems and the bandwidth continues to be constant and strong. We have various folks on it with Windows XP and Windows 7 now and no problems to connect to any of the computers. Can’t say enough how impressed we all are and we are in the tech industry.

I got two of these inflatable mattresses to accommodate a couple of guests.
I’d read a few reviews and Aerobed was always the top comfort brand for inflatables so, when I found these mattresses at such an attractive price ($45.99 when Aerobeds tend to be A LOT pricier) I thought I’d give it a shot. (I have back problems and tend to be very careful when buying things like this, even if it is for guests. Support is always No. 1.)
Well, my guests LOVED the beds. They were comfortable, happy and the air volume could be adjusted to please their individual tastes.

Brew cafe-quality espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes from the comfort of home with this 4-cup-capacity countertop appliance. It provides a sleek design with rounded corners and user-friendly controls that make even novice brewers look like pros. The unit’s powerful steam/boiler quickly heats up in less than two minutes, making it possible to brew two to four cappuccinos or lattes in under five minutes. Even more, the appliance features a unique coffee/steam selector, which allows for switching from brewing coffee to steaming milk and for adjusting the coffee strength to accommodate individual preferences. Adjust the steam output on Capresso 303.01 Espresso and Cappuccino Machine’s swivel frother to match the amount of milk to be frothed–in seconds it produces steamed milk for frothy cappuccinos and creamy lattes. Other highlights include a safety boiler cap with a built-in valve, an illuminated on/off switch, a convenient filter holder with a protective thumb guard, and a removable drip tray for easy clean-up.

There are many more detailed reviews out there so I will keep this brief.

Thank you EA for addressing the excessive off-side penalties, and the ‘360′ control while not as revolutionary as touted does add a lot to FIFA Soccer 10.

The new tournament and lounge modes are great, and this is one of the best sports games I’ve played, period. If you like futbol FIFA Soccer 10 is a no-brainer.

I have the 360 version and my neighbor the PS3, (I also have the PS3 version of 2009) and as always I have to recommend the 360 version. I can’t tell a difference in the graphics, but the 360 version boots and loads much faster, the controller is 2x better (I have bigger hands) and I don’t have to download annoying updates every week.

This printer was purchased as a birthday present for my mother, who has been hampered by a Windows Vista computer and a malfunctioning HP Printer (it worked great with XP…). We purchased the Canon PIXMA MP560 printer for $85 (free shipping) on Amazon, and comparing the price to other retailers online (and the retail price), it was no contest.

When I first bought this TV it turned off and on constantly – after swapping out the smart power strip to which it was attached, the problem stopped. In its new state, this TV is really awesome – looks good, sounds good. My girlfriend, who can see colors better than me, thinks the picture quality is quite good.

It’s been years since I’ve played Tetris and I must say I just love Tetris Party. It has the same original game that I remember playing in the past. They have also added things like shadow, field climber, computer battle and a bombliss mode which are fun to play.
