This is a good portable wall charger for devices
not needing a lot of power, or that can't deal with
high wattage. And it comes at a good price.

This monitor is excellent for editing photos and slides.
It has incredibly accurate color rendition right out
of the box. It has an aspect ratio of 16:10, which is
better for processing my photos and slides than the
usual 16:9 aspect ratio. The 24 inch screen is perfect
for my work. Its 1920X1200 resolution is well matched
to my work needs. To top it all off it provides a built in
4 port usb hub, as well as a stand that has a remarkable
degree of positioning capability.
I strongly recommend this monitor to those editting
photos and slides.

I do regular image backups of my workstation,
that has four NVMe m.2 drives . For this I need
large capacity, external, hard drives. This 20TB drive
is well suited for the task. Its only shortcoming is
that it heats up to more than 50deg C during the
long backup time, if left to its own devices. I have
fixed this issue by positioning a pair of 80mm fans
beneath it, to force cool air into its housing (see photo).
The drive also performs well for a hard drive, as can
be seen in the results of a Crystal Disk Mark speed
test. The temperature at the start of the test was
24 deg C. At the end of the test it was 33 deg C, and
dropped to 25 deg C just 3 minutes after the end
of the test. The fans are very effective.
I use two separate external hard drives for my backups,
alternating between each one. This is good enough for
my needs.
I recommend this drive to anyone needing a simple,
cost effective way to do large backups.

This chair fills my needs as a tall (6 ft 1 in) and somewhat
heavy (260 lb) individual. It is also comfortable and
classy looking.
The chair itself is heavy (57 lb) and arrives in a fairly
massive box (62 lb). The box arrived showing some
wear (photos), which is to be expected for one of
its weight and size. However, the contents were
very well packed and in excellent condition.
I recommend that assembly be done on a large, clear
area of floor - and that an old sheet be spread over that
surface to protect the chair during assembly. I carefully
unpacked the pieces, and checked against the list of
pieces. Everything was there, including the only tool
needed for assembly and a pair of very nice white
gloves to protect the very nice finish of the chair.
I very carefully read the instructions included, but
found the video showing assembly to be more helpful.
Working by myself and proceeding very carefully, it
took me about 90 minutes to do the unpacking, repeated
viewing of the installation video, and assembly. The
finished chair looks very nice.
To date my main activity making use of the chair is
digitizing and editting old family slides. I keep the
back of the chair upright, and find it quite comfortable for
my long editting sessions.
My one criticism of the chair is that the arm rests do not
appear to be very sturdy - but this does not impact me
as I rarely use them while doing my work on the computer.
I would not hesitate to recommend this chair.

 Philips - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones- Black - Black
Philips - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Canceling Headphones- Black - Black
The Philips PH805 headphones give you control over what you hear and what you don’t, no matter what the day brings you. Enjoy your favorite songs in Hi-Res Audio during your morning workout in wireless freedom. Switch to Google assistant to check your flight information with a touch, and then enjoy your flight in silence by activating noise canceling. And enjoy your videos in high quality sound once you get to the hotel. One set of headphones can now cover all of your needs. With the PH805, you control what you hear and what you don’t hear. A tap to the ear-cup will activate noise cancelation, so you can be enveloped in a shroud of silence when you need to concentrate or rest. If you want to turn the volume down on the world but still hear louder sounds like someone speaking to you, simply activate Awareness Mode with another tap. The PH805 comes with Google Assistant, which allows you to manage your life on the move, without taking out your phone. Just touch the headband to activate it. Open your calendar, read notifications from your phone, call or send messages to friends, or check the weather simply by asking Google Assistant. The PH805 is also a quality headphone set that delivers detailed, high resolution sound, which you can use as your go-to headphones for home or on the go entertainment. Hi-Res Audio means that they are capable of playing back lossless audio at a higher sample rate than most headphones and CDs when connected to a high-res source. The benefits of the PH805 last for a full 30 hours, making them an ideal solution for every situation you find yourself in throughout the day (and night). You get up to 30 hours of play time (or talk time) with noise canceling off, or 25 hours of use with it on. If you need an extra 2 to 6 hours of battery life, 5 to 15 minutes of charging will be enough. The Philips PH805 has you covered. And when you are finally through using the Philips PH805s, they fold right up into a compact travel case, making them convenient to take with you wherever you go.
 

How much lag is there when these headphones are used to watch tv? Is it noticeable?

I have been using these headphones for about a month and and find that I can't notice any lag when watching tv. If there is any it is imperceptible to me.

Listen to your favorite albums with this Onkyo DX-C390(B) 6-disc CD player that features Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry technology for clear, brilliant audio. The high-precision multibit D/A converter delivers high-quality sound.
 

I've been looking for a media center. Has anyone found one with a 17" deep shelf? Length 42" or less. Would like a unit w/3 shelves to set up the Logitech sw(11" H) with room for storing cds. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Consider putting the player on top of the media center. I have done that with my player, and put my turntable on top of the player. Be aware that this player really needs about 18.5" of space, because the cables stick out the back. Haven't seen any media centers with shelves deep enough to accommodate that.

Our Onkyo DX-C390 6-disc cd player will not play. When turned on and "loaded" it sounds like it is trying to access the discs but is unable to, and it keeps displaying the message "NO DISC".

Try forcing a reset of the player. Do this by unplugging the power, then letting it sit for a few hours to a day, then plug it back in. You should also remove the discs from the player before doing this.
