Digital Photo Viewer



A technophobic friend of mine was expressing frustration over his inability to find a slide projector. From the old school, he is going to do some sales training and has 95 slides he wants to use. Trouble is, nobody has a slide projector and his son told him the young guys would laugh at him for using it, even if he could find one. He does not have a computer, let alone a laptop so PowerPoint is out of the question. He is very good at what he does and sees no reason to change the way he does it. I suggested that he could meet somewhere in the middle of the techno-divide and do what he wanted without a big expense. Used slide projectors abound on eBay but they are bulky and truly dated.

My suggestion was the SanDisk SDV-1A Digital Photo Viewer. SanDisk has a newer model but since I own the old one, I am familiar with it and from what I can glean on the web, the older model appears to do a better job. The viewer is about the size of a paperback book. It plugs into the s-video port on a TV and allows you to view digital photos. Simple to use and very versatile it is also inexpensive at $39.99 with free shipping at Amazon. All he needs to do is get his slides converted, burnt to a disc for backup and put on a flash memory card for use. A local photo shop will convert the slides for $80.00 which is more expensive than the web but remember he is a technophobe. A 1gb SD card for $14.00 and he is ready to go. This is a simple but elegant solution for a guy who wants nothing to do with technology.

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
