Re: Anyone have good luck with slide scanning? - 14 days ago
Quoteka jowct I have a Plustek 8200 scanner. It scans pretty quickly, compared to my 10-year-old Polaroid Sprintscan. I'm scanning mostly at 3600 ppi, but I have gone to 7200 ppi on certain images. I can't see doing this much work to end up with low-resolution images. It's hard to believe that the cheap ones can do a decent job at 4-5 seconds a slide. Can you post any samples?

Search wolverine scanners on google. Inexpensive and fast with decent image quality. The high end slide scanners take several minutes per slide. My wolverine does each slide in about 4 - 5 seconds. I was very impressed.by h linamen - Tips and Deals

Re: tired of waiting, version 2, ipad mini - 4 weeks ago
Love my mini iPad and the screen quality is great. Who needs a retina display? I wouldn't wait as it could be a very long time. Got this Acase model for it and absolutely love it. Opening and closing the case turns the mini on and off without fail. Feels like quality even tho the price is only $12.95.by h linamen - Tips and Deals

Re: Article: Why Paying Off Your Mortgage Early Is Actually Dumb - 4 weeks ago
Quotefreeradical The problem is that a lot of people make the mistake of believing that their home is an "investment". It most certainly is not, especially if you make improvements. Renters have no illusions about this. They understand that what they pay in rent every month is an expense. A mortgage payment is no different. Until the last few years it definitely was an INVESTMENT.by h linamen - Tips and Deals

Re: to kindle or .....? - 5 weeks ago
Quotedatbeme I agree with everything above. I prefer Kindle but the Kindle app for the iPad is great too. Obviously the iPad adds a lot of other great utility if you can handle the tradeoffs of extra weight, expense and need to order books through a browser. But the only other thing you may want to consider is how many books "mum" is likely to purchase. My mom is on the frugal sidby h linamen - Tips and Deals

Re: Just bought a chainsaw on a stick... - 6 weeks ago
QuotergG well, a pole saw is what it is really called. Amazon has them on sale today, and I had been looking at these for a while, so I went for it. Having the business end of this thing 6'-10' away from me is the only way I want to use a chainsaw. Also, this is a much smaller, less powerful saw, so I feel better about using it.

Re: SSD QUESTION - 7mm vs 9mm - adapter needed? - 7 weeks ago

SSD QUESTION - 7mm vs 9mm - adapter needed? - 7 weeks ago
I'm very limited in computer knowledge and would just like to replace the hard drive in my early 2009 macbook intel core2duo with 2.0GHZ . I understand the physical process of replacement as I replaced one on my son's macbook. What I'm uncertain about is compatibility of specific drives. Mostly, I'm considering the Samsung 840 Pro 120gb SDD and notice it is a 7mm drive and my original HD isby h linamen - Tips and Deals

SSD drives reliable? - 2 months ago
Are the SSD drives more reliable than regular hard drives? Need to replace the 5400rpm drive in my early 2009 macbook and wondering if I should spring for an SSD rather than a spin drive? Reading many reviews on amazon makes one think it's a crap shoot getting any new regular hard drive. Every make and model has horror stories.by h linamen - Tips and Deals
Hard drive question - 5400rpm vs 7200rpm - 2 months ago
Anyone know if a 13" early 2009 white macbook that currently has a 5400rpm hard drive can use a 7200rpm without problem. Reading many reviewer comments on amazon and get the impression that macbooks cannot handle the heat of the faster speed and that causes the HD to die early.by h linamen - Tips and Deals
