Love my new Garmin Drivesmart 60
on September 21, 2016
Posted by: Dex
from Torrance, California
I've been wanting a GPS unit for my car and read all the great reviews on this unit so I thought I would give it a try. I'm really glad that I did! Love the Bluetooth feature and Voice Command options on this unit. Programing with no hands is a plus on this unit. Would buy again for another vehicle if needed.

Bose QC25 Lives up to its name!!
on December 18, 2015
Posted by: Dex
from Torrance, California
These are by far the most expensive headphones I have ever purchased but I'm glad I spent the money on them! These are definitely great noise cancellation headphones! It amazes me that even with no music playing after you put them on and turn them on, the surrounding noises automatically deadens! When you have music playing you can't hear anything around you. I have no doubt that these would be great on an airplane! I expected a lot from Bose products and I'm NOT disappointed with their performance! Would definitely purchase more Bose products in the future!

Made my first fresh orange juice and it tasted great!! Clean up was fairly easy and the machine is well worth the money I paid. I need to buy a lot more oranges though.

This is a really great quality receiver! I have always trusted the Yamaha brand name. I mainly purchased it because of the 4 HDMI ports. I have my television and cable box hooked up to it and the sound and picture quality is great! I'm very happy that I made this purchase!

Great price compare to other printer inks!

I have owned a lot of different printer brands but the price for the ink for the Brother printers is very good compare to others. Not wanting to take a chance on print quality, I only go with the O.E.M. brand inks.

This joystick has great features and is very easy to program. It works great for flight simulation software for planes that use a stick. The software that comes with the joystick also lets you print out a picture of the joystick and the commands you program for each button for easy reference.

Huge difference over onboard video!

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Upgrader
I purchased this card just to upgrade my system. I am now using flight simulation software and it automatically sets video performance to what the system can handle. All my settings are at the maximum "Ultra High" and there is no lag or problems with the video at all. The price of this card is very good for the performance it gives you! I'm very happy with this video card!!
What's great about it: Great performance and good price

I cannot get the monitor adjustments to work

Please advise since I need to dim the monitor. Thank you.
If you installed the included software, there is a program called "HP My Display". If you open that program, there is a tab that says "My Levels". There you can adjust the brightness and contrast.

Do any of these new computers provide Windows 8.1 instead of Windows 8?

If the system has Windows 8 installed you can get a free upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the Windows website. IT'S FREE!!

I have a HP desktop 1TB with hard drive failure what's the best and least expensive way to resolve?

Best Buy has a 1 TB Western Digital hard drive for around $80.00. Western Digital is a very reputable company that makes good hard drives. I'm not sure how much they would charge for installation but if you know someone that is good with computers it's an easy installation.
