Great Little Fax

Brother Fax

Even with e-mail, the Internet and other communications technologies, my small business couldn’t live without a good fax machine. So when our old one died after years of service, I picked up this one. I was really surprised at how much it offers for such a low price. I like it so much that I’m going to buy a second one for home.

Back up power for the ice storm

Gas Generator

Seems like this winter will never end. Every time I turn around, we’re getting blasted with snow and ice storms and it looks like another one is going to hit the midwest this weekend. I don’t mind the snow so much, but the ice always seems to snap power lines in our neighborhood and knock out power for a day or two. I am ready for this weekend, I picked up this 3300 watt gas generator. If the power goes out, I am going to be ready!! Hopefully we'll have all the juice we need to keep the lights on, run the space heater and such. It’ll sure come in handy when we go camping this summer too!

Great Gadget!

Zip Spin DVD Duplicator


Over the holidays, my wife and I took loads of home movies of the kids, their friends, cousins, aunts and uncles – you get the picture. Now everybody wants a copy of our movies for themselves. Instead of taking hours and hours copying the DVDs on our PC, I just dropped them into our Zip Spin DVD duplicator. It makes flawless copies in just a few minutes – it’s great for making back-up copies of movie DVDs and CDs too. And it’s so easy to use, I didn’t even have to ask my kids how to work it!

Hidden Secret to saving BIG on High Gas Prices!

Fuel Doctor


Are you as sick of high gas prices as I am? Every time I go to the pump, it makes me sooooo mad! And just when you think prices have stabilized a bit, they start to shoot up again. But I discovered that Fuel Doctor is a great way to fight back. You just plug it into your 12V lighter socket and it increases your vehicle’s MPG by up to 20% - and that’s money in the bank! Now you’re probably as skeptical as I was. But let me tell you, I’m not sure how, but it really works!

Dusting off the record shelf and saving some cash with this Nostalgic styled Turntable.

Anders turntable, cd recorder


When I grew up, vinyl records were king. Even when 8 tracks and cassettes came around, nothing beat the sound of music on vinyl. I still have those old records and now can I take them off the shelf and enjoy them again. This Anders Nostalgic Stereo lets me play my old 45s and LPs and even burn them to CDs. How cool is that? It's really saved me a ton on money, because when I make copies on CD, I don't have to buy the music all over again. And I can take the CDs and listen in my car and on the boombox I have at the office. And the sound of this stereo is as impressive as the style! I was amazed at the clean crisp highs and mids and the smooth velvety lows. It's a real treat for the old eardrums!

Door to door directions, and a happy wife! Thanks Magellan

Magellan GPS


I'm a typical guy. And like typical guys, I flat-out refuse to stop and ask for directions. My wife blames it on the fragile male ego. Truth is, I figure that it will take more time to stop somewhere, get out of the car and ask, then it would to just simply drive around a bit. My wife doesn't buy it. But what she did buy was this Magellan GPS. And boy am I glad she did! We used it when traveling through a snowstorm to visit her folks house for the holidays. It guided us right there without any problems whatsoever. We arrived safe and sound. And my male ego was still intact! :)

Queen Air Bed - Mother knows best

Queen Raised Air Bed


During the holidays, traveled to my in-laws house for a few days. And, to be honest, I wasn't too happy when they told me had to sleep on an air bed. I'd never been on one before and I didn't want to start now. But my grumbling soon turned to gratitude a few minutes after I plopped my tired old bones down. Usually when I sleep in a bed that's not my own, I almost immediately get a back ache. But not so this time around! It provided absolutely perfect support for my entire body - no sagging, no awkward bending. I slept great - and when I woke up I was refreshed and ready to go. Then I had to fess up and tell my mother-in-law how great it was. I hate it when she tells me "I told you so!"
