So the video card on my big fancy iMac (2008, 24-inch) has apparently fried itself. BUT ... I'm learning that some people have had some success in either replacing the video card or fixing it (cleaning it) with a butane lighter. Anyone have any experience? For various reasons, I absolutely...

I have both now ... I have a brand-new (from last summer) Aerus Guardian Platinum canister which I love (LOOOOOVE being able to get the power nozzle under all my furniture without having to move it), the 8-speed motor for variable dusting, and the ease of switching attachments. BUT .. the...

Contratulations! SWEET machine!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ... ... the 1080 is essentially a clone of the 1980 but without the extra couple hundred watts of power, right?

DAVID!!! Is that ... is that ... is that ... the HOLY GRAIL of stereo receivers?? The Pioneer SX-1980?????

LOVE it! Looks like a Bison that went on a diet. :)

Well ... "everyone always does the videos barefoot, I keep waiting, I know one day someone will do it in high heels!" Maybe these videos are fetish porn for some ... ;)

The problem is ... ... that the Hoover Convertibles and Constellations of old -- built as they used to be built -- would never be able to compete, price-wise, with the cheap plastivacs coming out of China. Adjusted for inflation, a Hoover Convertible from 1968 would retail for over $600. Who...

Kirby ... I'm LOVING my restored Dual Sanitronic 80. BUT it's been retrofitted to take a disposable bag. I'm not so sure I'd be thrilled with the emptor.

When I said digital ... I meant digital, not necessarily dinging SOLID STATE. I have to admit, after hearing side-by-side demos of tube amps versus solid state (with the signal coming from a vinyl record via a Pickering cartridge on a BIC turntable), I do detect a slight difference. It's hard...

As a fan of both ... ... I'm waiting to see some responses. My initial thoughts are that TODAY'S Royals are built in China and aren't built as well as they used to be, while Kirbys are still built in the USA.

Welcome! I'm a newer member too (about a year now). But be careful -- I tend to piss people off. ;)

Amen, Rex! I hate digital.

Again, no ... "The main difference being that TL's don't heat the water and require far more additional chemicals and stain removers to achieve the same result as an EU frontloader does with just detergent." You're alleging that EU frontloaders "achieve" the same results as American...

Robert ... "Our washers use 1/3 to 1/4 of the water american machines use and we get better wash results." No you don't. Not by a long shot.

Brian ... GORGEOUS vac! Love that color!

Using "Hoover" as a verb ... ... is strictly a British thing. In America, you either "vacuum" or you "sweep" (in my part of the country, they're "sweepers", not vacuums).

OMG ... "Most of the few RR tapes I have came from radio stations-most are full of commercials sent by clients to be broadcast.The commercials would be transferred from the reels to carts." OMG this was me in one of my first jobs in radio (KDKA in Pittsburgh) ALL the commercials came in on...

Keep in mind ... ... we never really know anybody's motivations. It could be she just likes the LOOKS of the Dyson. Or she really can't afford anything more than a stick vac. Or there's a powerful childhood memory associated with bagless stick vacs. I think vintage Kirbys are the perfect...

Yep ... ... at the end of the day, if they ask for your opinion, give it ... explain it ... then sit back and pipe down and let them make their own decisions.
