HP Virtual Focus Group: Montage
This week we were asked to create a photo frame montage using the HP Creative Studio program. Simple to do with great results, it provides a really attractive way to display several photos on one 8 x 10 page. Here is my scanned copy:
As part of the Focus Group, we are to compare the HP C3680 to the Kodak AIO. The scanning is so much faster with the HP, it seemed like the Kodak scanning took about 3 times as long as the HP. Another thing I...
HP Virtual Focus Group: Printers
For the next six weeks I will be putting printers to the test. HP sent me a HP C6380 and a Kodak AIO 7 printer to compare. We will have projects weekly to see how these two printers stack up to each other. My first real challenge? Getting the Kodak to print color.

A few days ago I noticed something strange on my laptop screen. A faint discoloration creeping...
Seagate FreeAgent Go Review
I have a memory problem, well, my computer does. I know it’s my fault, but really, I might need those old college papers some day, and yes, I might watch that movie one day if I have the time. I’m not into deleting, it’s so final. So really what I need is a way to free up the memory on my computer without sacrificing my precious files. Also, it must be easy because I’m no computer whiz. Aahhh, I found the solution. ...
AT&T Bluetooth Cordless Phone Review!
I am one of those people that have to have a home phone. Before I had a child, I was fine without a home phone. Then, I became a Mom. Having a home phone makes me feel secure. Makes me feel like a Mom. It may sound silly, but I like having a number for my house. Anyway, I have been on a search for a new home phone, cordless, of course. When I had the opportunity to review the AT&T TL92278, I was thrilled.
The AT&T TL92278, is...
