great radio
2010-03-14This is an outstanding little radio. compact yet good audio. Its exactly what I needed in the kitchen inorder to listen to regular broadcasts or weather alerts. Small enough to put away when not in use. Love it

Midland WR300 Weather radio
2010-03-03This radio has all of the features I was looking for, an am/fm radio, a weather radio with programable emergency alerts and an alarm clock. I chose it because of the features and because of the reviews I read on Amazon. It works fine, the sound is acceptable for my use. It was time consuming to program, it seems there could be a simpler way. My biggest complaint and a complaint in the reviews I read at Amazon was the readability of the screen. It is impossible to see the time unless you get very close and look carefully. You would expect a more readable clock in a "clock radio"

Good Weather Radio
2010-02-27This is a really nice weather radio you can use for a clock radio too. The sound is only one speaker so its not good for listening to music on, but as an alert radio and weather radio it is tops. I think Midland is the best brand for this this type of radio.

midland weather alert radio
2010-02-22My husband and I just moved from New Hampshire to Tennessee. We could drive to and from work in a Nor'Easter! But the thought of a tornado dropping down in our back yard scares my husband silly!
The radio is easy to set up and use. The emergency alert "siren" would wake up the dead!!!
The features of the radio also include an alarm clock and radio.
I would recommend it to everyone.

MIDLAND WR300 better than expected
2010-02-18Some reviews made me cautious about this product but once I set it up, it was better than I expected. The AM/FM radio is more of an after thought but the primary use I wanted was WEATHER and it is superb. It is much better than the old Radio Shack SAME radio I had till it died.
It is easy to set up and has plenty of options that make this SAME WEATHER Radio a must have for anyone who needs or wants a reliable SAME Weather Radio.
The AM/FM section is for general news, NOT music. It is not a good AM/FM radio but is sufficient for my purpose and does bring in the 3 AM and 3 FM stations I need.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me?
Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
