Memory-RAM-not senior moment type

As a certified senior citizen now I find memory more crucial. As a computer professional it has always been crucial. The deluding advertising of "Vista Ready" computers having 512 Mb of RAM is just that delusion. The lure of a low price will provide you with extraordinary frustration. It appears that Vista only sees 3 gb of RAM. The closer you can get to that the better. Now the money saving part, I carefully (obsessively) researched the price of a 2gb RAM module for my new laptop. Kingston, which I love, was $169.00. Shopping that the lowest price I found was for generic memory for $89.00. However the firm was in my state so sales tax ran that up to $95.34. I checked the company's rating on http://www.resellerratings.com/ at it was 7.42 out of 10. Another firm had a 8.95 lifetime rating, with brand name memory for $115.00. I then found a coupon on http://www.retailmenot.com/ for 15% off. So now I am down to $97.75 with a better rated company, brand name memory and free shipping. But...that's not all. After I placed my order at memorysuppliers.com their confirmation email offered me a $15.00 credit if I would post their name on my web site for 90 days, which I agreed to do. So my original price of $169.00 now cost me out of pocket $82.75, YES, less than half of what I expected. As my son says, "you have to be retired to spend that much time finding a good price." I am, and I love sharing the info. If it saves you a few bucks, great, buy a book, donate money to a charity or just go out for a bite. More to come and I do not have any financial interest in any of the web sites mentioned.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
