Cheapest on the net at this time

I use it for:Document printing
Setup was easy, but I had to load the install disk to setup two other computers for wireless connection. Some boatware, but not bad. I bought this laser to replace a Samsung laser because of the difference in price of the toners. Brothers was almost 1/2 the price of the Samsung. The downside will be when I have to replace the drum. But I print very little during the month and I think being the drum is good for about 10,000 pages it should be years before I need to replace the drum. I shopped around and most of the net had this laser printer around $140 and higher. Is it worth the money, I would say yes at this time. But time will tell
What's great about it: Fast, easy setup,duplex printing
What's not so great: startup a little noise
I would recommend this to a friend!

How Often Used:1-2 times a week
I wanted cheap head phones that would work great with my MP3 player when I cut the grass. This does a very good job for the price. No it does not cancel out the lawn mower sound, but at a little higher volume setting it does a good job. I have a large head and these fit without causing pain after a hour of use.
What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: none so far

The controls are all touch type. I have the computer and monitor in the basement. It's a little darker then normal and it's very hard to see or find the off and on control. A manual off and on would have been a lot better for me. But again not enough to take off a STAR.
What's great about it: price, size, picture
What's not so great: on and off switch

Protect your digital camera lens from dirt, dust and scratches with this UV lens filter that features high-quality optical glass for improving image clarity without affecting color intensity.

Does it job protecting the lens for a small price. Once it's damaged toss it out and buy a new one. Sure it's not a $50 UV filter, but all your trying to do is protect the camera's main lens.
What's great about it: Low price and does the job
What's not so great: None at this time

If your on a budget and need a lens like this, buy it. I have one on my Canon T3. My daughter used this lens for her Canon and loved it. I then bought her the lens as a gift for Xmas. Not as well built as the more expensive lens but it sure does the job.
What's great about it: Does the job

Just what my Wife wanted
on December 25, 2011
Posted by: Jim506
from SW Minnesota
This is the second Nook I bought for my wife and a gift at X-mas. She loves to read and has a full libary on her old Nook. We did spend some time setting up the WiFi, but did get it to work. A great e-reader and I was able to buy it at the sale price of $79.99. The down side is that a power adaper was not included as it was in her first Nook. Had to order one. The only other problem we have run into is how to move her e-books for her older Nook to the new one. There was no help on-line nor in the manual. I will have to contact BN. Also the power cord is longer then the first Nook, which my wife likes. Over all this is a 5 star E-reader. One more plus. The battery life is great, even on her older Nook. This was one of the main reasons I didn't buy the Amazion E-reader. Plus you can replace the Nooks batter when needed. From what I have read the Amazion e-read has to be sent back to the company to have the battery replaced.. Although this may have changed?
What's great about it: It's a Nook!
What's not so great: Nothing!

Just bought my third PNY 16B class 10 card. I use the cards in my Canon T3i shooting in RAW. So far all three cards work great and no problems. The sale price is a no brainer. Buy it, it's on sale.
What's great about it: File size and speed
What's not so great: It's not a 32GB card!

Age Range:45 and up
Number of MP3 Players Owned:1-2
Bought this for my wife for Xmas. She just love's the Walkman. She downloaded her own music which was easy to do. Set up was great and the Walkman was easy to use. I felt the cost was a little high compaired to other MP3 players. But being a Sony what's new. Still well worth the extra money. Like they say if Momma is happy everyone is happy.
What's great about it: Size and ease of use

Junk
on May 28, 2010
Posted by: Jim506
from SW Minnesota
Bought this card from BB Dec. 2009. The card would shut down and restart when viewing a video email or when I used Studio 14 for video editing. Error message stating Kernel 197.?? made the card shut down and restart. I was able to RMA this card. But the second card did the same thing. So EVGA RMA'd again and I am now on my third video card. All three have the same problem. I am trying to get EVGA to stand behind there products and replace this card with a GeForce 250 because they are so equal. But they shut the door on me because I forgot to register the card within one month. EVGA still hasn't figured out what is causing the card to shut down and then restart. So I set here with a $120 card that is JUNK. FYI, I installed a GeForce 210 and a ATI work station cards and both worked great without the video cards shutting down and restarting.
What's great about it: When it works it's great
What's not so great: Shuts down and restarts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Where can I find a uv lens cover and what size do I need? What glad should I purchase for my camcorder?? What about a remote? Why would they have a built in flash on the less expensive models What am I suppose to digit a sub shield
You can buy a 55mm UV lens from almost any camer store or on line. Like Amazon, B&H or BB if they have that size. A remote? If you have a smart phone you have a remote. Other wise I don't know if Sony makes a remote. Over the years of using a CC I have never used one. Your other question I don't under stand. What do you mean by "glad" or "sub shield"??

I want netflix streaming on my old tv, is it possible with a new Blu-ray?
I want to be able to acces netflix and watch it on my tv. I have the older style tv. I know I will need to purchase at least a blu-ray, but I don't want to buy a new tv. Will I be able to do this? Please help!
Some of the newer BR players are coming out with the ability to stream NetFlix. I believe Panasonic just came out with one. Or buy a Wii game console and have Wii send you a install disk. The Wii I have uses a RCA cable to connect to the TV. Either way you will need to be able to connect to the internet using a RJ45 cable or wireless. The cost should be close either with a BR player or Will console. One last item, you may need to buy a connector for the Wii console if you run a RJ45 calbe. Not sure, but check out Wii web sight.

i need to purchase an hd dvd player
i need an hd dvd player. I have bought my grandson all of the Harry Potter movies and I mistakenly bought them in HD DVD. I can"t return them and want to purchase the player. When inquiring on EBay what questions do I ask?
First I would look at what type of disks will play back on the player. I look for a player that will play back DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. Just in case someone sends you a home made move ETC. Second I would look for a player that playes back regular DVDs in upconvert. Of course price has a lot to do with it. And if you are going to just watch HD Blue Ray disk then you don't need all the extra bells and whistles.
