![]() U.S. Nylon US Flag 3X5 ft - American Made - Embroidered Stars - SALE! $38.50 Looks great, well made, certainly priced right. And with Solarmax material should last without much color fade for a long time. ![]() HP Pavilion DV6-1350US 15.6-Inch Espresso Laptop - Up to 4 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium) $899.99 After Dish Network canceled three repair visits in a row, I dropped the service and have been watching TV on my desktop. I decided I wanted a little mobility, so I bought this laptop, thinking I could hook it up to my TV sets. Unfortunately, I discovered that it will ONLY work on HD TVs. Am I a technology moron? Not completely, but clearly enough of one to have spent money on a computer that won't do what I wanted it to. As for the computer itself, it's not really big enough to watch without having it within "typing distance." This makes watching it in the bedroom difficult, particularly with five animals viaing for prime cuddle space. In addition, the internal speakers are not very good. I'm going to keep the laptop because I will be using it for typical computer activities, including watching it while in the recliner, with a lapboard and wearing headphones. Since I hadn't planned on upgrading my home entertainment setups right now, I'll just get a Roku box for the bedroom for watching Netflix and Amazon Video-On-Demand. This won't help with online shows (The Daily Show, Dancing With the Stars, etc.), but it will be about half of my entertainment internet use. ![]() All About Us $12.95 I was dismayed to find the book in poor condition. Although it was stated as new in the posting, the covers have marks, dents, worn corners and even a very noticeable pit on the back. ![]() Spies Like Us (Snap Case) $12.98 This pathetic piece of film deserves to be in the scrap heap. It was the biggest waste of time and one of the least funny movies I have ever seen. I only purchased it because I am a fan of Steve Forrest (General Sline). He played the part very well, becoming a parody of his character. Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase were not funny. Not one single belly laugh in the whole movie. Don't waste your time or your money. (Buy a little gem called "The Whole She-Bang" instead!) |
