Bond saves America's gold supply
on December 6, 2015
Posted by: ProfHale
Verified Purchase:Yes
My three favorite items from this classic Sean Connery as Bond movie:
As Bond is being threatened by a laser beam, he queries Goldfinger "Do you expect me to talk." It is met with the response... "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!"
This is the movie that introduces the world to the Aston Martin DB5.
Just don't touch any of the buttons.

It has a number of scenes filmed right here in the Bluegrass.

Classic Sean Connery as Bond
on December 6, 2015
Posted by: ProfHale
Verified Purchase:Yes
A classic for Bond fans. Sean Connery has to locate and infiltrate SPECTRE's plans to pit the Americans and Soviets against each other over what is happening to their manned space missions.
And how about an ending that features Ninja versus henchmen!

Good paper for a good price

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you consider Best Buy as a source for tech, including printers, don't forget the essentials... like PAPER. This fits the bill. And don't overlook the fact that some retailers are packaging paper in 400-sheet "reams"; this is a real 500-sheet ream.

Surpasses what I thought was possible for ear buds
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: ProfHale
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had tried the on-ear Bose noise cancelling headphones years ago, but prefer the lower profile of ear buds. And I tried versions from other manufacturers even within the last few months. It seemed to be nothing but hype.
I received some money for Christmas, and chipped in the rest to 'splurge' on the Bose 20i's. Got them home from Best Buy, plugged them in and flipped the switch to 'on'. In the next two seconds, the rest of the world faded away (acoustically speaking, that is). Noise around me that I had become accustomed to was suddenly gone. So I looked for a bigger challenge. I went to the basement and started the treadmill. Again, when I set them to the 'on' position, all of those loud, annoying noises just disappeared. I could actually hear the sound from the television. AND... even more amazing is that these ear buds don't even go into the ear canal, but just sit outside the ear canal held lightly but firmly in place by the silicon 'wings'. No slipping, no irritation, no constant putting them back in place.
This ability to create an acoustic silence chamber would be worth the price alone, but the sound is also exactly what I expected from the name 'Bose'. Now, keep in mind I have ears born in the 1950s, but to me, the sound is spot on.
So great sound coupled with a must-be-experienced noise canceling experience add up to the perfect ear buds. Glad I waited for Bose to get it so right.

Turns your ordinary tv into a SMART tv!
on December 29, 2014
Posted by: ProfHale
Verified Purchase:Yes
VERY simple to begin using. Connect a power source, plug the FireTV Stick into an available HDMI port, and install the apps. WARNING...it will want to do an update to the built-in Amazon app immediately, which took about 30 minutes, so plan accordingly.
We got it for Amazon Prime and Netflix access. Was surprised it also had the ability to get Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Watch ESPN programming. The Watch ESPN app substantially increases the number of sports programs available, especially out-of-market college sports.

What is the drip tray for?
Instructions don't mention placement it. Is it to go inside the fridge??
Kitchen-sized refrigerators have mechanisms to handle the frost that builds up on the side of the freezer areas.
This smaller unit does not have that ability.
The drip tray is for helping when you need to defrost the freezer (only necessary occasionally when the condensation builds up too much on the side of the freezer area). This is done by taking out the food, unplugging the unit, and then the ice melts and drips into the tray.
So you won't need it on a regular basis...only when you defrost the freezer. That's probably why they don't mention where it goes.
