Slimpro 620 (aka Sumicom S620) and NEC ND-6500A
Finally getting my really tiny PC (6x10x3″) together from “Cappuccino PC”:http://cappuccinop.com called the SlimPro “SP620”:http://www.cappuccinopc.com/sp620.asp which is really the “Sumicom S620”:http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/51/products_id/167 underneath. It uses the older Northwood Pentium, so was a good way to still get use out of my old Shuttle SS-51G with a dead motherboard. But, as I assemble it, the slim DVD…

Nokia 6620 PC Suite
Nokia USA: Nokia 6620 PC Applications. I’ve had a boatload of trouble trying to get my contacts into my 6620. I know I have 5,400 contacts, so that is more than the average bear, but really. The original software CD has version 6.1 and it spend about an hour trying to synchronize and then would…

Primal Wear
Primal Wear. I’ve been wearing Primal Wear biking stuff straight for five years now and they are just now wearing out. Great jerseys but expensive (regularly $70), but Primal has an online outlet, so if you don’t mind the fashions, you can get them for $50 and if you buy two, you get free shipping…

eBags Messenger
eBags Lightning Messenger – eBags. eBags has their knockoff messenger bag for $30 with free shipping, so tempting for all of us bargain hunters. I don’t think it is waterproof though like the high end Timbuk2 or Chrome bags.

Timbuk2
Timbuk2 — Messenger Bags. Since we are on the topic, I’ve used dozens of bags and none quite compares in comfort to a bike messenger bag. I use a small one from Nike just about every day. It is just so much more comfortable than carry to have it go over one shoulder. Timbuk2 even…

iPod Case Reviews
Playlist Cases. Another review of cases. I like their format at a glance. They give five stars to these cases (all have a belt clip important for Dad and me): * Contour Showcase. $40. Rubber and clear plastic. * Covertec iPod Case, $40. This has a leather cover so not that greaet for instant access…

Waterfield
“Waterfield”:http://sfbags.com are ex-bike messengers and make custom bags in San Francisco. Expensive, but checkout the Sleevecase which is a totally custom holder for a laptop. Perfect for my minute Sony TR-140 for which common laptop bags are just too big. !>http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/images/prod_sleevecase_detail_2.jpg! to see how well made they are. Rather have one good bag than a…
