Bad Quality Control2008-01-01
I bought this telescope to replace my Minox spotting scope. Big mistake. I had to return this telescope because the object finder didn't work. When I got the new one, guess what? The objective finder never works! Obviously there is a QA problem with this scope. The battery compartment for the object finder is so easily broken. When you screw the lip in, you screw the whole battery compartment and will break the wires that provides the power.

Go pay more but find a better scope. This one is cheap but never works. Waste of money and time.

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.

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 ...
