BenQ’s JoyBee Very Cool!


Coming to your family room soon is a compact easy to use, INEXPENSIVE; LCD projector that will project images up to 80” in size. One of the problems with projectors has been the need for a screen or a white wall. According to BenQ this projector is designed to allow projections on walls in colors other than white, of course a screen will give you a better picture. The other notable aspect of this projector is the use of LCD technology rather than bulb technology. In the older projectors the bulbs were very sensitive to shock and very expensive to replace when they blew. When I was selling home theater pcs, we really liked the DLP technology due it’s astounding reliability.

The JoyBee has all the connections necessary to hook up your laptop, cable box, ipod, USB flash disk, digital camera, DVD player, Xbox etc. It is tiny, only 5.35 x 2.12 x 4.72 inches. That isn’t too much bigger that a fat paperback. It has a standard tripod connection that you could use with your existing camera tripod.

This looks like a very nice unit for only $499.00. You certainly can’t get any kind of big screen for that kind of money. It certainly seems like a product to watch. This is not a paid blog.

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
