In a monitor, RESOLUTION is everything. (Well, of course PRICE is everything, too, but forget that for a moment.) This monitor has 1600 by 1200 resolution in 20 inches, which is almost enough. I spend a lot ... read full review |

Is it OK that I don't love this book? No, really! I loved Grace. I found the book fascinating. But it was sorely lacking a vital aspect. I'm not a celebrity-worshipping kind of dude. I... read full review |
