Good deal on a backup drive
on March 3, 2018

from Los Angeles, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
My old backup drive suddenly stopped being read by my Mac laptop. No great loss as I knew pretty much everything I needed I already had access to but I do want things backed up for safekeeping. So off to buy a new drive I went. My last backup drive easily cost around $80 so this was a great deal as far as I was concerned plus it's formatted for Mac computers which is a huge help. My backup with it went smootthly and I'm feeling a lot better now about having my work and files saved elsewhere!

Kind of in love with this new vacuum!
on July 30, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I read a lot of reviews before this purchase. I didn't want to spend a lot but wanted something that still did the job well. This vacuum is actually pretty amazing. The suction is crazy good! I really like that all the attachments are stored right on the vacuum and so are easy to access and attach and work wonderfully. Other reviewers said it was loud but I do not find it louder than any other vacuum I've used or had in the past - the noise is normal. I also like that it's bagless and easy to empty. Some reviewers said you had to empty it often but that hasn't been the case for me. Granted I'm in a small one bedroom, but hadn't vacuumed in weeks and got my whole apartment clean only needing to empty it when I was completely done - and even then I probably could have waited. The only cons I would say are that 1) it does feel just a tad heavy to push but no that big a deal to me and 2) that the accordion hose the attachments latch onto, while it does stretch, it requires a little extra strength to pull on it if you want to stretch it long when you're reaching up high or farther behind furniture, but again it's not a huge negative for me. The pros far outweigh the cons and I'm really happy with my purchase.

Not impressed
on April 15, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's unfortuate because I have an LG television set and figured this would be easy peasy to put together. And in theory it should have been. But no matter what I did (and believe me, I tried to make sense of the instruction booklet) nothing worked. The lights never did what the manual said they should, there was never any sound, there was no explanation of what the buttons on the remote meant. Overall, 30-40 minutes of my evening wasted trying to figure this out. And I'm pretty good at figuring this stuff out. Back to the store it went.....I'll have to try again another time and see if I can find one that makes more sense.

Season two of The Adventures of Superman, which was shot in 1953 and originally aired in 1953-1954, arrives on DVD in an edition every bit as satisfying as the one devoted to the series' first season. The major highlight, apart from the entire array of 26 shows in beautiful condition -- a rich, nicely contrasted black-and-white is the norm throughout the five discs -- are two commentary tracks by series co-stars Jack Larson and Noel Neill, who played Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane. Their remarks on the episode "Panic in the Sky" aren't necessarily shot-specific (one heartily wishes that the two could have done this a decade or more earlier, or that Larson would have been interviewed over an episode such as "The Haunted Lighthouse," which was a memorable life and professional experience for him), but they have a nice enough time talking that it's fun just listening to them -- one just wishes that perhaps a third person, such as a Superman expert, could have been put in with them to prompt them with questions. They are looser and more informative in their commentary on the episode "Semi-Private Eye," which always seemed like one of the most fun shows of this season to watch -- it appears to have been so for the two of them as well, and this factor helps make their discussion on this particular chapter well worth hearing, more than once. The other special features are confined to the last of the five discs. They include a short documentary entitled "The First Lady of Metropolis," devoted to the career of Noel Neill, which is as charming a profile as one could wish for, consisting of interviews with Neill, co-star Jack Larson, and an array of scholars and historians, supported by appropriate clips from the series; her recollections of working with George Reeves are the best part of the interviews, although her account of the methods they employed in shooting the 26 episodes are also fascinating. The final bonus feature is the complete "Stamp Day for Superman," a mini-episode done for the United States Treasury at the end of this season, which includes a new introduction by Jack Larson and Superman scholar Gary Grossman. This show has been kicking around public-domain lists for decades, but has never looked or sounded as good as it does here, even if it is still somewhat grainy at times (it was never intended to be seen outside of schools, on 16 mm or 8 mm film). Each of the 26 episodes gets a single chapter-marker, and each disc opens with a very easy-to-use multi-layered menu that offers simple access to individual episodes as well as the special features, and a "play all" function that simplifies the viewing. The image throughout is full screen (1.33:1) -- the way it was shot -- and the sound is as crisp as the picture. In contrast to the first-season DVD set, which had some problems with the quality of the materials in some isolated instances, the shows here -- apart from "Stamp Day for Superman" -- all look to have been transferred from near-pristine sources.

Considering how pricey buying toner can be, this is a great deal for both toners in one package. Didn't need the photo paper, but can always give that to a friend.

Love, love, love it!!

Wow, I had heard good things about having a Roku but I had no idea how much I'd love mine! As I'm still going without cable or satellite television, it's delightful to have so many channels to choose from to watch movies, listen to music - and so many at no charge. I can see tennis matches that I otherwise might not get, and accessing my Netflix account to watch movies in an instant is a joy. I'm still discovering channels to play with - I could practice Spanish for .99 per month! Couldn't be more thrilled about this purchase!

Classic movie yet lacking in special features
on May 6, 2015
Posted by: ddl8
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for a family member who is a big Julie Andrews fan. As he has no blu-ray player, I could only get the DVD version. It's unfortunate DVDs no longer come with great special features, at least this one didn't. Considering it's the 60th anniversary edition, you'd think it would merit a few nice extras. But I suppose they save all the good extras for blu-ray versions now.

If you do not have any pets, is this vaccum still recommended to use without any pets around ?

I don't have pets either (though that may change), but regardless I wanted an inexpensive vacuum that did the job well and this definitely more than meets that requirement. The suction is fantastic and the attachments are great for furniture or getting into tight spaces. Really happy with my purchase.

Can you get network shows on CBS,ABC or NBC with their apps?

There are channels for CBS, ABC and NBC, however, they don't offer the shows there. There are sometimes certain episodes of news programs but that's about it. Otherwise, it's snippets of shows. You can subscribe and get HuluPlus and Amazon Plus which offer tv shows you can stream through the Roku.

You can get WatchESPN which I love and has a lot of live streaming sports. I don't know what you prefer to watch but the channel is free to subscribe to and I get my tennis fix with it. There are other sports channels you can access - check the Roku website to see all they offer in the sports arena.
