Re: Any good cases that are for iPod Touch 1G???? - 15 years ago

I use an InCase slider to protect the back and provide additional stiffness. Then I add Power Support Crystal Film to protect the back from the case rubbing and to protect the glass from scratches.

Belated Birthday Thank You! - 15 years ago

I've been delivering kiddos to college and not keeping up... Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Another year older and a major milestone... My wife and I are now official empty nesters, with our youngest of two joining her brother at the University of Texas. I can't decide if it is a birthday present or not.

Either they sharpened the knives with a very shallow angle, which would then lend the edges to blunting and rolling over quickly. OR; they used a grinder to sharpen them, which could have annealed the edge by overheating it. Depending on the knife, they may have screwed it up by igno

iPod Touch and iPhone Cases - a recommendation - 15 years ago

BTW, even though I'm bummed because the iPod is not able to replace my Palm, I do still have a good recommendation for a case. I wanted something that would protect the iPod in my pocket but not get in the way of using it. I'm using an InCase Slider to protect the iPod from getting bent or dented, and I'm using PowerSupport Crystal Film to protect the glass from scratches. I put the film

iPod Touch - It Can't Replace my Palm :-( - 15 years ago

Re: Food Processor Question - 15 years ago

Good comments, all. I've got a Queezy, but not sure which model, and I'm too lazy to go look. The best accessory I've bought for it was a flat lid for when I don't need a feed tube. It still has a small hole and plug for drizzling in stuff or adding small stuff. Not for use with the grating/slicing blades. But it really makes clean up easier than the feed tube lid.
