The Belkin unit is essentially what I've been looking for. Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like it transmits up to a 40mbs signal utilizing a proprietary wireless protocol. It's expensive for what it does though. It looks like I'd have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $450 for it. I...

Just a quick note to anyone considering purchasing one of these. The personal, wearable antenna is virtually worthless. The internal antenna picks up as good a signal as it does, IMO. If you happen to reside in an area where there is a terrestrial repeater you will likely get decent reception...

Several months ago, I saw a portable television that Sharp had introduced that utilized 802.11b wireless to transmit a digital signal from a base unit to the television. At first, this seemed similar in operation to the audio/video wireless sending units that most everyone is familiar with...

I've heard some people suggest that the heavy polyurethane finishes that the manufacturers seem to favor now seals the wood and doesn't allow it to age. I don't know how true that is but it certainly sounds reasonable.

Thanks, I already have an older Takamine. It does sound pretty good. The newer ones I've heard don't have the same crisp sound and sustain as the older ones in my opinion. Not sure of the difference though. Could it be the finish they are putting on them? Good old guitars seem to get better...

I know from past threads that there are a few guitar aficionados here on the forum. I beginning my search for a custom hand-crafted acoustic guitar and I'm curious to know what maker others here are familiar with. I'd love to own an Olson (Olson Guitars) but the wait-time and the cost are out...

The Tascam CDRW-700 CD Recorder has the ability to adjust the sound level "floor" which triggers the auto-track feature that you guys are discussing. You can adjust it to compensate for tape hiss and other background noise. At one time I had a Philips CD recorder as well but I never used it...

Rich Malloy/StanleyW -- I sent you both an e-mail. JoelAJ -- I would be willing to trade Dances with Wolves for your Untouchables.

I'm looking to get rid of some duplicates that I have and some movies that I otherwise don't care to keep. Some have never been opened. Here's the list: Tarzan (Disney Animated) Dr. T and The Women The Blair Witch Project (Sealed) O Brother Where Art Thou? Casablanca (Sealed) 007...

Erik, The curvature of the blade, especially in the chef's knives, is important to allow the blade to "rock" back and forth when chopping. While it's debatable whether or not there is an ideal blade design, all chef's knives should have some degree of curvature to the blade. Anyway, when you...

Don't overlook the cookware and cutlery by Viking. This is some serious kitchen equipment.

It's pretty much true. You should be careful playing video games on just about any monitor and especially RPTV's. If all the action on the screen is constantly moving then the harm done is probably minimal. The problem with many video games is that they often have areas at the top, bottom, or...

Here's another one that's even more humorous. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=1664239356 [Edited last by aeveritt on November 16, 2001 at 05:10 PM]

Since you mentioned that you were going to smoke it I would lean more toward thawing it in the refrigerator than in a pan of water. While you just might be okay either way, thawing it in the refrigerator would ensure that the bird doesn't get warm enough to encourage bacterial growth. Smoking...

I'm scared to ask what a "nad tax" is.... :)

The Sony MiniDV cameras really are nice. I just bought one last weekend. It wasn't the DCR-PC110 model mentioned in this thread (which is very nice) but it was a great deal anyway. It was the DCR-PC9 and was an "open box buy" for $375 out-the-door. They even threw in a pack of MiniDV tapes...

From what I've read and heard, you really shouldn't mis-match mattresses and box springs. Supposedly, the construction of the mattress is designed to work with the corresponding box spring set and vice-versa. This is probably true to some extent. Perhaps the worse that could happen is that...

If it is indeed the case that Sears now has an "approved" list of internet sites that they will match it really doesn't surprise me. While I have some ideas as to why they price matched internet retailers in the first place I knew that they wouldn't be able to maintain such a policy long-term...

Rudi Bakhtiar on CNN. She seems like a very classy woman.

It seemed as though Sears was "cleaning house" Saturday. They were apparently getting rid of a lot of prior year models of what appeared to be mostly televisions and receivers. The RPTV models had been wiped out completely with the exception of this one. As I was watching the guy load mine in...

I was in our local Sears yesterday and, as usual, walked over to the electronics section to look. As I got there I overheard a man and a woman argueing. The salesperson politely told the woman that the other guy was there first and had first shot at the television. The other woman stormed...

I somewhat doubt that what they have in this package is a true "portable" DVD player like what Pioneer, Sony, Panasonic and others make. I suspect that it will be a scaled down full-size DVD player that runs on 12V. I will probably be similar to the scaled down VCR's that they use in the VCR...

The Tivo definately gets my recommendation. The only differences in the Philips and the Sony units are very, very minor differences in the interfaces. Picture qualities would be the same. The exterior look of the unit and the remote, of course, would also be slightly different. I wouldn't...

This appears to be sold.....

Gregg, Could you send the e-mail again? I recently changed my ISP and had not yet changed my BIO information here on the forum. I just updated it so the e-mail address should be correct now. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

I am trying to help a friend sell his Echols Popcorn Popper. This particular unit is a 12oz model. It's a great mid-size countertop model. Dimensions are approximately 21" x 19" x 33". It has a heated screening tray in the bottom, tempered glass windows, and a stainless steel kettle. This...

I believe there was a site I recently found that had the Maxtor 80GB 5400 RPM drives for about $230, which is about as cheap as I've ever seen them. I was considering checking with my local Staples to see if they would price match. I'll look to see if I can find the site if anyone's...
