Product Reviews

Lea and John are both dyed-in-the-wool capitalists; often much to the chagrin of their wallets. This is not to say they go around spending their money like crazy, but they do enjoy having nice things - and spreading the word about them. There are a lot of different products (be they tools, clothes, utilities, or otherwise) that they have discovered over the years that they think everyone should know about for one reason or another¹⁾. They will be listing some of those things here. This is going to be a raw, unorganized, list for the time being, and will be expanded and organized as time wears on.

• Seiko SNK809 - Easily one of the most cost effective wristwatches ever.
• Garmin GPS72 - A very high quality GPS, appropriate for all sorts of situations.
• Thinkpad X61 - ultraportible laptop that doesn't skimp on charm or utility.
• Thinkpad T410 - powerhouse laptop that leaves little to be desired.
• Nikon F80 - Simple to use and highly versatile film camera.
• Sansa Clip+ - Cheap little MP3 player that can be expanded with microSD cards and rockbox.
• Amazon Kindle - The best ereader we've come across yet, so good that Lea has bought at least nine of them.
• Nook with Glowlight - Not a kindle, but a backlighted ereader. I'm not particularly thrilled with it, but I have a lot to say.

• Logitech K360 - Comfortable and compact wireless keyboard, pairs well with the M510
• Thinkvision L180p - High quality LCD made by Lenovo.
