gbrooks says "You will fall in love" about Plantronics CS50

gbrooks — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 03:03:11 GMT

I user this for at work every day and have for about 2.5 years for 8 hours a day. I love it. I am in a call center and we fight over batteries if someone does not put theirs back on the charger.

I this headset is so easy to use. I have always been a fan of Plantronics quality it is always top notch. I have used other companies head set and went out and spent my own money to get a plantronics.

This headset tops all that I have use in over 15+ years!! If you have to change the battery watch out when installing you could rip the wires out of the battery. Sound quality is great hearing and speaking without interference.

gbrooks says "Good solid laptop" about IBM Thinkpad

gbrooks — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:44:26 GMT

I have the T42 laptop that I use everyday. I support this laptop also. I have support dells, hp, compaq, and apple laptop. I must say if you have to have a pc laptop get the thinkpad. They are good machines. I like the fact you have a pointer and touchpad I hate the dock sometimes due to the computer not sitting on it but love it other times due to the angle that it puts your hands.

I have see these computers go through some stuff and come out still ticking. Just like all laptops the batteries could be better and the thing does get a bit hot. I do not recommend putting any computer on your lap since they due emit a signal. The fingerswip is nice touch but many user have forgotten their password due to it.

Screen is bright I have also use the x40 and if you want something light get that model.

Support website is great for these products. I have noticed that the plastic case on the laptops are more durable then most laptops.(other companies could learn a thing form IBM......

gbrooks says "I love it and cant put it down!!" about Apple - iPod Touch

gbrooks — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:28:09 GMT

Well this is the best ipod ever!!!

The screen is clear. It like having a iphone with out the camera and the phone and the huge bill you get with having an iphone. I love it everyone at work just like playing with it. I like when I am out at a store I can just pull it up and check the net with the wi-fi connection.

I just wish i could sometimes put a sometype of keyboard on the thing. I am sorry for those people who got the iphone first cause I fell for the total cost of ownership that the Ipod touch is better if you do not want a cell phone contract. I am not tied to a cell phone so that is why I did not get the Iphone. I pay $299 for the ipod touch and I am done no monthly fee.

I want a product that is not going to take so much money out of my pocket every month just to use it. The ipod touch fits that bill. I put shows on my touch from my Tivo and I love it. Also the touch does not have a hard drive so more durable then the other ipods.

I am sure that in the future Apple......

gbrooks says "You will have a good time but watch your pocket" about Carnival Cruise Lines - Liberty

I went on my first cruise this year and I must say I am hooked!!! I am going on another next year.

The only thing I did not like was the nickel and diming the that went on sometime. Come on I have to pay for $1 popcorn while watching a movie on the Lido deck. That was a bit much.

The embarking process is bad if you wait late I am so glad i listen to the people at my hotel and got on early and did not have to wait long in the 101 lines it seemed like to get on the ship.

The food on the ship was out of this WORLD!!!
The Staff on the ship was out of this WORLD!!

Crusing to me is the way to see the world.

The pool I was not impressed with.

Clubs and the shows were nice.

I can't wait to go again I see way people cruise a lot.

One word of advice loose some weight before you go on a cruise cause you might not want go to the gym on the ship cause there is so much to do and you will eat a lot.

gbrooks says "You will not need a tech person with this computer" about Apple iMac Desktop Computer

gbrooks — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 01:56:33 GMT

This is my 4 th apple computer in my lifetime. I must say Apple has closed down the gap about windows program will not run on their systems. This computer will run windows better then a pc that cost more but who really wants to. The only time I ever have to start my machine into windows is to connect to work for some options. This computer this the best and if you want to turn on a comptuer and get stuff done get a Mac.

Your life will be happier.

Remember you might pay more upfront but in the end Apple computers are less expensive to own since you do not have to pay for tech person every other day.

gbrooks says "Great game console for the money" about Nintendo Wii Console

I am so glad I got this it gets me up off the couch for a great workout and it is more fun then the treadmill. Great for all ages!!!

I see why they are so hard to find in the stores. Once you pick this up it is hard to put it back down. Great to workout with in the winter. Better watch out this system and the correct games on it can get your heart rate up....
