I got the garmin after trying with very good results the Nike C5 which I used when I started doing my workouts for P90x. It showed reliable information with a very nice display.

Soon I discovered a very nice gadget: Adidas miCoach and although it was a nice since you could select a wide arrange of workouts depending on your goals(fitness, losing weight, marathons, short runs etc.), personalized workouts, 10+ trainers etc. it lacked something: a visual display and a GPS.

The garmin filled those 2 important needs for me and many more:

1. Mac compatible software
2. Amazing web support
3. Easy to share workouts on social networks like facebook

So far, I’ve tested it for a month and the satellite lock is fast, accuracy is impressive. Don’t mind the ‘bulky’ look since after you are done with your training you take it off ^^

Btw, remember to keep it charge before a long training session. Havent tested how long it last since I charge it after every session but it doesn’t hurt to have it at 100%.

This is a great DVD set. I would like to see more of these types of items.
Gackt The Greatest Filmography

I have 5 cats and a dog living in my house. I deep clean my carpets once a month to remove pet odor and was looking for a deep cleaner that really worked. I am extremely happy with the Hoover with Clean Surge. And the upholstry attachment with the beater brushes clean my furniture better than anything I had before.

I had brought a timex pedometer and at times it would not calculate my steps. I have had no problems with this one. You can put it in your pocketbook or pocket and it still calculates. I love it, I wear it everyday.

These cables are great and the picture quality is nearly flawless. I have noticed some fuzziness when upconverting with these cables, but this has mostly been on VHS taped stag films.

This book keeps you up late at night because you keep telling yourself, maybe I’ll just read ONE more chapter…
The Tron Poll Tax

I bought this card to go with the Samsung HZ30W – Digital camera – compact – 12.1 Mpix – optical zoom: 15 x – supported memory: SD, SDHC – black I bought for my wife as a birthday gift. Even with the camera set to 12MP, super fine quality, and every other option set to high we still have the storage capacity for 5,000+ pictures. So it can store enough pictures for even the happiest of trigger fingers.

A wonderful start to the series. Eoin Colfer’s great and Nathaniel Parker’s a wonderful narrator!

I purchased this card (Transcend SDHC 4GB) to use in my new Dell Mini netbook specifically for Readyboost.

The Readyboost feature in Windows 7 actually works unlike Vista. If you are unaware of the Readyboost feature, it basically enables your PC to use a memory card “like” RAM. It actually takes advantage of Windows Superfetch technology.

A high speed card is neccessary to use the Readyboost feature. This card is working perfectly for this purpose.

When you plug the card into your reader, Windows 7 will prompt you if you are wishing to use this for Readyboost or other purposes.
If you select the Readyboost option, Windows will tell you this card is not qualified for Readyboost.
This is because this card does not come formatted in the required NFTS format. Just right-click on the card under “My Computer”, then left-click “format”, select the NFTS format and your good to go. BTW, make sure the “Quick Format” box is checked.
After formatting is complete right click the card under “My Computer” again and select properties. In the new window that pops up.
You will see a tab marked “Readyboost”, click on it. From there, tou will have the option to allocate some of the free space on the card or there’s even a box where you can dedicate the card for Readyboost.
