What model is your refrigerator? It looks tall and lean. Exactly what I would love to have in my kitchen.

If you're looking for something portable I highly recommend the Western Digital Passport. It comes in tons of sizes (160GB - 320GB) and colors but most importantly it's very reliable.

But if you don't need to carry the files around with you I love the Seagate FreeAgent Desktop line. You can get a 1TB for less than $200 and it's quite pretty IMO.

Also I'd highly try and see the hard drive you want yourself before you buy it only because I own a Maxtor portable drive and it's blue blinking light drove me so crazy I went out and bought a WD Passport. The Seagate hard drives come with a nice low key orange glow.

I agree with Jose A - it's a so so product.

It's tricky (hard) to open without cutting yourself so you'll need to practice a bit.

I've taken it through airport security without any problems.

Overall it's not a bad addition to your key chain and comes in handy when you're in a desperate situation. My desperate situations usually involve cutting off a clothing tag.

I have a Kleen Kanteen bottle and the only problem I have with it is the sound that emanates when I twist the cap on or off. It's killing my ears so much that I'm going to get a Sigg bottle. Other than the sound though it's a great a bottle! I highly recommend it.

I don't own a digital frame myself but that's due to lack of space right now. However, I have bought them as gifts for others but I don't just give them the frame. I find photos they would like and put them on the frame for them. So when my friend opens her gift and is over joyed with having a digital frame she can plug it in and instantly enjoy it!

I tend to like frames with a dark border because the light ones (white, silver) seem to lighten the color of the photo. A remote control is a MUST as well as slots for various cards. I also buy them a memory card which adds a gig or 2 of space for them to load on even more photos.

Yes, doing all of this takes more time but every digital frame I've given is always well received and appreciated and they always find a spot in their home to put it.

As for brand I like smartparts. Don't get a Kodak one, I find the quality of the photos displayed are not very good.
