Fun family movie

Bought this to replace the VCR tape, not only could we watch and enjoy this movie again, but we got to share it with my grandson.
The transfer quality is very good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The transfer quality is very good, and just as much fun as I remember.
Also got to see the second movie, hadn't seen it before.

These provide great airflow

Bought these to install in a stereo cabinet. These are powered through a power adapter that comes on when the stereo is powered up. The airflow keeps my amplifier and components cool. And the blue lights provide a nice reminder when I forget to turn the stereo off...
What's great about it: Good airflow, blue lights work well.

Gene Kelly's 1969 musical comedy Hello Dolly! comes to DVD from 20th Century Fox Home Video with a widescreen anamorphic transfer. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo in English and Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono is Spanish and French. Subtitles are available in English and Spanish. Closed captions are also accessible. Special features include theatrical trailers and the original 1969 behind-the-scenes featurette. This disc is recommended for fans of Barbara Streisand's movie musicals.

Much better than the VCR tape
on September 9, 2012
Posted by: majorgeek

If you're looking at this DVD, you obviously know the story. I bought this for my wife to replace her VCR tape, the DVD transfer is quite good. Not much in the way of special features, but if you want to see this movie, it's never looked better!
What's great about it: Great transfer to DVD

Great hard drive for multimedia server!

Purchased this hard drive as the centerpiece of my Windows Home Server installation. Ordered on Christmas day and got it 4 days later, can't complain about the quick (and free) shipping. Kudos to Best Buy for carrying this type of leading edge hardware!
When I received it, I was very pleased to see it's actually a 64MB cache instead of the older 32MB cache model. Installed quickly and works very well, Fast, quiet, and the best warranty (5yr) you can get! What's not to like?
I need to comment on the reliability and support from Western Digital as well. I've always had great reliability from WD drives (since my first purchase in 1988) and the one time I had a problem, their prepaid warranty return allowed me to get my replacement drive within two days. Will always select WD products!!!
What's great about it: Large & fast hard drive, excellent WD reliability!
What's not so great: Nothing, really!

Keep your clothes and washing machine sparkling with these Affresh tablets. They remove soap residue and mildew odors, so washed clothes smell fresh, and they're specially engineered for use with high-efficiency washers. Drop one of these Affresh tablets in an empty washer for cleaner clothes, and their formula is safe to use with septic systems.

Works great to keep washer clean

Got this after about a year of suffering with our front-loader. Cleaned up the smell, and we use them every month or two to keep it fresh. What else can you say? It does the job!
What's great about it: Solves the smelly washer problem
What's not so great: it's not free???

Peter Sellers and an all-star cast are featured in the James Bond spoof Casino Royale. The film is presented in a great-looking 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. There are bright, bold colors among the dark black levels, making the image almost dreamlike with its 1960s feel. While there are some instances of dirt and grain in the picture, overall this is a great transfer by MGM. The soundtrack is presented in a newly created Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround remix in English. Because the original recording wasn't in the best of shape, this 5.1 mix is limited -- the biggest boost comes in the form of composer Burt Bacharach's catchy music score. Otherwise the bulk of this track is focused in the front and center speakers. All aspects of the mix are mostly free of any excessive hiss or distortion. MGM has thrown on a few fun extra features, starting with the original 1954 TV movie of the same name (presented in black-and-white full-frame version). 007 fans will be thrilled to get this first-ever filmed version of the movie that was originally broadcast live. A 20-minute featurette on the making of the film hosted by Val Guest gives viewers a few juicy tidbits to chew on, including the alleged feud between stars Sellers and Orson Welles. Finally, there is a theatrical trailer for the film presented in non-anamorphic widescreen.

A great romp! Lots of fun...
on June 28, 2010
Posted by: majorgeek
from O'Fallon IL
I have always loved this movie, it's a tongue-in-cheek spoof of the rest of the James Bond series. The acting is sometimes a little put-on, but that's the whole idea here. From the Burt Bacharach soundtrack, to David Niven (as the "original" James Bond), Peter sellers, and the rest of the cast, it's just a lot of fun.
The DVD also contains the original TV version of Casino Royale (which I had never seen) so it also managed to expand my horizons and add to my Bond collection. A must-have!!!
What's great about it: An amusing counterpoint to the rest of the Bond collection
What's not so great: nothing, really!

Best choice for keeping your Garmin up to date
on April 19, 2010
Posted by: majorgeek
from O'Fallon IL
This is the way to go if you are ever going to upgrade your Garmin GPS. After 2 single updates, you've made your money back. The download and update takes a while (some other reviews have mentioned this so I won't go into more detail rehashing their experiences--just be patient and let the update work it's way through).
As mentioned, this purchase only works for one unit - it checks on your myGarmin account and keys the upgrade to that particular GPS.
I spoke to Garmin about a multiple use license, they don't have that yet but if enough of us suggest it they might get the idea (I've got 3 of these units, I'd really like a group discount). For now, I just keep waiting for a sale...
What's great about it: Pay once for your lifetime updates
What's not so great: Download takes a while, no "family" option for upgrade packs

Enjoyed this prequel. It was rather intense but interesting telling of the Start Trek story in way that leaves everything wide open for future movies!

What is the difference between the Dell T6600 4GB DDR2 & T4300 4GB DDR2 SoDIMM memory ?

is this just the difference in the processors with the laptops? other features appear the same and so is the price?
The processor is it. the 6600 gives you a Core 2 processor instead of the base model.

is there a portable CD player that works thru my cars cassette deck?

Your deck probably does not have a direct input - so look for a cassette adapter (BB sells several of them). You can "play" the cassette and plug the cord into your CD player (or MP3 player, or GPS, or... just about anything!)

Be sure to set the volume on your CD a little lower otherwise you will get some distortion if you drive the adapter too loudly.

Can you use a regular dvd in a blu ray disk player?

Yes you can. The blu-ray player will read the normal dvds just fine (like dvd players can also read cds)
