Product review: Like a gimicky psychological examination Xtort is one of the things that I would blurt out in assocition with 1996. Its appeal isnt confined to one year mind you. I'm listining to it right now. Craze being the only raised eyebrow. I hate songs with that kind of beat and others similar to it. Other than that Xtort scores big with singalongs like Son of a Gun and Power, and lyric readers like Rules and Dogma. Groovier than Nihil and more solid than Kmfdm/ST and Adios, Xtort delivers a punch that only 96 can bring. The only other problems I could possibly have with this album is that its too short and more videos should have been made for it. I saw one on USA up all Night of all places.

Review title: Excellent book for those that abhor media hype! Product review: In today's age of media we get to see lots of stories that tell us to be afraid of this person or that movie, this contraption, that baby toy, this "epidemic", that virus, Etc.Are you tired of it? Well I am.This book lays it all out for you. Facts, figures, numbers, theories. It debunks many of the last 10 years' biggest "stories" that have been over-hyped. I can only imagine how this book would have turned out had it been written after 9/11 and out new "Terror scare".My one and only complaint: Its anti-gun stance. The author seeks to blame most crimes committed with guns on the fact that we're so "lenient" with our gun laws(Britain, with laws preventing the ownership of guns has a very healthy gun violence problem). Other than that, it's a terriffic book.I recommend this book for any healthy skeptic.

Product review: Unless you plan to buy an external FM relay switch that plugs directly into your car stereo's antenna jack, the XTR8 is useless. I've owned 2 of these now, the first was purchased Dec of '05 and it died in 11 months due to the power plug in the unit failing. The original worked wonderfully in my car with clear FM modulation and even covered my entire house! My new replacement (covered under warranty) which is mounted 2" from the car stereo produces pure static and is completely unacceptable. The FCC has mandated that these companies cut their FM output power.A quick note about Xact's warranty return process. If you buy the car kit and one day your unit malfunctions (which is likely), Xact will ask you to return EVERY component of the kit or they will charge you for each replacement item. Yes that means you would need to rip the antenna out of your car or they will charge you for a new one! Look at the other stereo brands, AVOID XACT!!!

Review title: Worth the Money Product review: I needed this KVMP, it works pretty good. Only one issue with starting up a computer when not currently on that channel. The other computer when you finally switch to it is nowhere close to the resolution it should be. You have restart the computer with the channel selected, or sometimes you can get the computer to switch to the right res by turning off the monitor and resetting the IOGEAR
