Comment on Product Review: Dell Inspiron 1525 by Rachel

I boought a Dell Inspiron 1525 off their website, brand new.
It worked great for a year before it had two problems:
1) The motherboard stopped recognizing the charge cord.
2) The hard drive failed at around the same time.
Dell was quick to send the new parts, and someone to replace them.
However, three weeks after the new hard drive was installed, it failed. The woman on the dell help line told me it was a coincidence, but it seems as though this is a common problem.

I love how fast the dell support is, though. They really do try to take care of you, and any problems or dissatisfaction you may have. the only thing I recommend is backing up anything that you have on your computer that you would regret using. External hard drives aren’t the cheapest of things, but if you need hundreds of GB of space, they can be reliable.
I myself am going to be using an 8GB flash drive, purchased for about $13 with nearly 100% positive customer reviews. (The only negative ones have been about how the plastic cap breaks off, which makes the flash drive easy to lose, but it does not affect performance.)

I absolutely love Flat Earth chips. I especially like the tangy tomato ranch (I think that is the flavor). Unfortunately, all the stores in my area stopped carrying Flat Earth, although I have spotted the Cheddar and Salsa ones at Kroger (YAY!). I bought 2 bags for $2.99 each while in Florida and they are worth every single penny spent.

Comment on Scotch-Brite Ultra Nailsaver Sponges by Betty

I have been loyal also to Scotch Brite. My favorite are the no-scratch (blue and white). I bought several packages of the nail savers when they had them on a BOGO sale at the store, plus coupons deducted made them about .50 a package. I haven’t had any problems with them, although they aren’t quite as good as the no-scratch. Good deal tho!

I agree completely! I LOVED the sponges at first - size, shape, contour. BUT… after a few uses the scrubby side did start to pull off the foamy stuff in the middle as well as the foamy stuff just starting to break apart. I will use what I have (I bought a few with coupons) but probably will not buy anymore of them.

Thanks for the review!
