Comment on Toshiba Satellite L505-S5993 TruBrite 15.6-Inch Grey/Black Laptop by Thomas B. Gross

I ordered this on Black Friday in response to a good price for the specs (4GB RAM, 500GB disc) and paid extra for expedited shipping directly to my son in college, who needed to replace a broken PC. It arrived on time but came with Hindi installed as the primary language, even in the trial package of Windows Office installed on the machine. The laptop did not ship with a Windows 7 CD (and who knows what else is missing from the package). This appears to have been a returned unit that was sold as a new product. Amazon customer service response has been excellent so far and very generous, but if I had bought this from [...] we could just return it to the store. Quite a hassle.

I kicked the coffee habit one year ago by drinking Uncle Lee’s White Tea. It is the first tea that does not cause an allergic reaction and I find it delicious. I am saddened that my local supermarket has stopped handling this tea. Thank heavens I can buy it on line.

I use this tea to make sun tea. 4 bags in my sun tea jar makes the most delicious, delicate iced tea. We drink it over ice, no sweeteners needed.

Laptop arrived yesterday. Overall a good purchase decision. There’s not a lot of pre-loaded trial software, which I like since I don’t have to remove it. Screen / resolution is good. Overall, good marks.

Only complaint:

No HDMI (which I knew about before I made the purchase, but having one would be nice so I could stream movies to my TV). Plus, there are only 2 USB ports, not 3 as listed in the product description. However, in the product pictures, there are only 2 shown, so buyer beware.

Thanks!

I like this tea. I wish I could find it at the store. Not a bad price either.

Comment on Green Toys Tea Set by Holly E. Hartsell

I ordered this after spending 20 minutes walking around looking at my kids toys and noticing they were all “Made in China”. As a matter of fact, the only thing that I could find in my house (other than parishible items) that was made in the USA was some good ole duct tape! I decided to google “made in the usa” and looked throught the toys that came up. I loved that this item was made in USA and out of recycled plastic. I am certainly not claiming to be one of those that recycles all that I can or even that I only shop USA…. I was just in one of those moods that day and so I ordered 2 Tea Sets. One for my daughter Hope, turning 2 and one for her little cousin, Sarah, 5 days younger than Hope. So what if it was 2 months before they would even have a birthday… I was prepared, and wouldn’t fall victim to last minute purchases ending up with once again a “made in china” product! I would like to mention that I realize the chinese do need money too and I wouldn’t want to stop completely in purchasing their products, however I tire of going through my kids toys to pull yet another recalled product before the lead soaks into my poor innocent little children’s skin! I was not prepared however, for the love that my little 2 year old daughter would have for this tea set! We were having her a party the next weekend so I really didn’t get her much to open on her actual birthday. As a matter of fact, my 5 yr old little boy thought she needed a present on her actual birthday so he got the teaset out and put it into a gift bag and if it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t have opened anything on her birhtday! I know, I am a horrible mommy! But when she opened it that night, we discovered that she really, really had an imagination! If you knew my daughter, you would know that we have hundreds of toys 99% of which she never plays with. She only wants to do what her big brother is doing and so, I was shocked when she proceeded to set her CareBare up at her little table and fix “coffee” for the two of them and the rest of the family as well. I looked at the clock. She played nonstop for an hour by herself! It was like she turned 2 and became another child! This was worth $100 to me! Thank you! Thank you!

This tea set is great! Not only it’s made from recycled material, it’s made in the USA!

I won’t have to worry about lead paint scare like toys that are made in China.

My daughter just loved it!! Even the packaging is enviornmentally friendly!

What else can you ask for?!

It really is a pity Photoshop and few others get all the attention is the world of art software. While perusing a program to kick around with my new tablet I saw this in the recommendations. First of all I was shocked by the price. Second of all I was shocked when I found it to be both powerful enough to hold it’s own against Photoshop and others. Here is a very pure take on doing art on a computer. Don’t look for cut and paste, lasso, or other things you see in a bare bones Paint. You have a variety of canvases, a wide selection of art tools, and for the most part, you’re expected to treated like the real things. Well, not quite. There are settings you can play with like if paints blend as you work, and it allows you to play with layering and transparency, and the stenciling function is neat. If you want to make art, seriously or just for fun, this is a great choice.

i never write reviews. i can’t believe this was only $10 with shipping. In milwaukee cheap 40 packs of lipton green tea is 4-6$. If you wanted organic white tea, maybe 20 packs for 7-12$. a 100 pack would be at least 25$+!!!

After purchasing this laptop and installing all the software I needed, lo and behold, Windows 7 is not compatible with my 2-year-old printer, so I had to return it. Such a shame.

Comment on Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera by S. Alavattam

S. Alavattam — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:05:25 +0000

I have a Canon dSLR (Rebel XT) and am very familiar with using a camera with many settings. In fact, I adore my Rebel and bought the Canon Powershot SX20IS because I am impressed with Canon products. However, I never got any useable photos from various field trips and/or portraits that I took from the SX20IS. I originally bought this for my wife (photography novice) to use, but she rejected it because of its photo quality and bulk and returned the product after several failed attempts to get good pictures. The video quality was nothing to write home about either. Maybe I should stick to my Rebel XT for now.

I was happy this was made in America, and that it is made from recycled milk jugs. But that’s mostly where the fun ends. The pieces are very slick and there is no texture for gripping. This flaw is especially apparent when one tries to grip the lids of the teapot and creamer. Much as I wanted to love this set, it is only so-so. I likely won’t replace it, it just won’t get used. Little girls don’t really need tea sets, anyway, right?

I already marked 3 for fun value, but really, if I could change it, I would give it about a 2.

I bought this software as a cheep software for creating computer paiting software. I like the software but it said it includes tutorials, be sure the software you get does. The software I got I got no tutorials with the software and says to go to a form and all I’m able to get is users thoughts and advance. This software will just set and collect dust at my house.

Comment on OCTO Vintage Leather Kindle 2 Book Cover with Hinge by Gym Yeti

Gym Yeti — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 09:05:12 +0000

The OCTO Vintage Leather Book Cover for Amazon Kindle 2 is perfect for those longing to recapture the “feel” of reading. It fits perfectly on the kindle, and doesn’t add bulk to the device, while adding the aesthetics of reading an ancient manuscript. Like any good billfold I am sure that the genuine leather will show signs of wear, but in my humble opinion, that will only add character to the overall appearance of the cover. The look, feel and smell of the genuine leather cover is…priceless. I especially like the leather “Ties That Bind” holding the cover closed…..

The kindle 2 fit securely in place and the cover allows total access to all of the devices features and functions. This cover is perfect for functionality and aesthetics, not for rugged ability.

Just as advertised on the Amazon page, this is a stylish and cool Kindle cover. To me, it’s by far the best-looking cover out there. However, it loses a star for being so danged expensive.
