Brother Toner Cartridge (TN570) Review
With most companies toner cartridges are ultrasonically welded shut to prevent any attempt at refilling them with toner. It’s how the manufacturer makes their money - from supplies. We know that you will run out of toner long before the drum unit looses its photo response. Brother actually put a white plug in the cartridge that you remove to pour more toner into the TONER compartment, then keep on printing. For me, this is a first on small printers. Big printers (K+) often get their toner in a bag that you shake into the jar while small units ding you for the cartridge approach. read more

65W AC Adapter Charger for Apple MAC PowerBook iBook G4 A1021 Review
The lead-in says an older iPod user - and older is right as I am a Senior Citizen with an older Mac (iBook G4) and needed the adapter/charger quickly - could not find it in any of the local stores and went to Amazon.com and found exactly what I needed - at 1/20th the cost of what one of the local stores was going charge to order the item for me. I ordered the adapter/charger and was told that it would arrive around 6/18 - but it arrive 6/14 - was exactly what I needed and my laptop was up and running in no time. I’d give the company and Amazon.com a five-star rating. read more

Windows 7 Vista XP Media Center MCE PC Remote Control and Infrared Receiver for Home, Premium and Ultimate Edition Review
I just got this remote yesterday and am very glad I made the purchase! The remote itself is well built and very similar to our DirecTV remotes. Ergonomically it fits well in the hand and is very easy to use. Also, it is very easy to set up, all I did was plug in the IR adapter into a USB port, put in the batteries (2 AAA that came with the remote) and you’re in business. I use Windows 7 and it took less than 30 seconds to find and install the drivers (probably closer to about 10 seconds). read more

If you get this product along with the glowing skins for the controllers, it’s even better! I love how it truly glows in the dark. It’s fun, fits perfectly, stays on the board, glows, squishy yet comfortable against the feet, and it does protect the surface and sides of the board. Great buy! Fun to play in the dark! read more

My elderly mother uses a lot of ink while compiling geneological information on our family. She is on a fixed income and therefore it is important for her to get the best price on her ink purchases. I have started ordering her ink on Amazon and she is quite pleased - it arrives quickly and is cheaper than she can get at Walmart and other stores. read more

Samsung UN55C8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV Review
If you’re like me, you read several reviews to get a feel for the product. My two cents are to help those like me that were on the fence for about two months and then finally decided to pull the trigger. My first thing to do is to tell you what I upgraded from- a Panasonic 55″ HDTV rear projection (no hdmi ports) with a Panasonic progressive scan dvd player. My first impressions after a week of watching satellite tv, blue-ray dvd, and 3D is–WOW! I bought this tv, the 3D blue ray player, the starter kit (included in my purchase at no charge), a wireless adapter for the tv, and two hdmi cables. Purchased everything through Amazon rather than a retail store for (a) a better price by 0 over BB, and (b) to save the sales tax of over 0 to get a new entertainment shelf/bracket unit. First thing on my mind is if you get this setup get the hdmi cables because none are included with the tv or the blue ray player. I’m also glad I got the wireless adapter because it’s much cleaner and easier to access the internet content. The 3D content is what we’re all paying for so I’ll start with that. First, I’m glad that DirecTV includes four 3D channels at no charge, and the system recognizes the tv is able to run 3D so it adds the channels when you add them to your guide. Second, I find myself using the 3D effect for regular programming to give HD shows added depth and dimension. True 3D content is thin right now, but I’m getting great enjoyment watching Lord Of The Rings (my standard dvd extended versions)in 3D with the upconverter on the tv. True 3D content pops off the screen, and upconverted television programs and non-blue ray movies get a feeling of depth and background dimension. Regular HD picture is beautiful. The blue ray picture is incredible. As far as the internet apps, I use Netflix to stream movies and Pandora for music. The Netflix picture was not impressive but I had to upgrade my internet speed to get a better quality picture (not the TV’s fault). I was worried about having these items shipped but had no problems. The tv was delivered by a local shipper and was checked for damage and was powered up before they left. Everything programmed easily (no geek squad necessary), and tweaked settings to my personal preferences over the next few days. Everything is working flawlessly thusfar. Bottom line for me is if 3D becomes the next frontier of in-home entertainment, I am ready, and if 3D doesn’t pan out, I still have an HD tv with internet apps, beautiful picture and sound, and awesome blue ray viewing, with the added benefit of giving a 3D-like look to any movie or program. My suggestion is to read up on proper setup and optimal viewing distance, it will help you have a better experience. read more
