The light they give off is horrible and they don't last nearly as long as regular old light bulbs. I replaced all of my incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs b...

They're less sensitive because they have awful imaging, in my experience. They throw off a big spacious sound, but one that's hopelessly inaccurate.

I ordered one on Wednesday afternoon - my old Verizon Motorola V710 was literally falling apart after 4 years - and it arrived via FedEx on Friday afternoon. Talk about service! So glad I didn't ...

The darker brown tones in the fireplace clash with just about everything, especially the orange cabinets. If you can't retile it right now, I say paint it white, too. That lino in the...

Oh, and I agree with what many have said about that upper cabinet - demo it ASAP. You can reclaim the lost space by replacing the railing with some kind of storage. I saw one person recommending ...

I'm not a big fan of gray and orange. I think that's kind of a trendy color scheme at the moment, and it's gonna date badly. Gray and orange was also big in the early '80s as I recall, and ended ...

I wonder if you could make something like this yourself out of clay.

all I can think is toilet overflows--> toilet contents all over shower floor Well, that's a heck of a lot better than toilet contents all over your BATHROOM floor. At least you...

Yeah, it's a subwoofer. You can see the matching sats on the desk thingie. Can't remember the name of that three-way speaker system at the moment - it's probably from h/k.

I think it is unrealistic to assume that everyone can and should burn all of their cd's. Why?

>I do realize that jobs are hard to find but it >doesn't mean impossible. In his field? It's deader than dead. He'll be lucky to pick up much work for years to come.

Yeah, I wouldn't unload that kind of money on Version 1.0 technology. Unless maybe I had some bulbs that were REALLY hard to reach. They make noise and the light that they dispens...

Apparently some AT readers are young, affluent, sheltered and naive, and assume they will remain so for the remainder of their lives. Not to be spiteful, but I kinda hope the recession bites the...
