All forum members,

Once again, the market is flooded with interesting electonic gadgets. Can anyone suggest a must have gadget for my collection?

Thanks :blink:

I did see something in a catalog I received that caught my eye. It eleiminated ahving to buy canned air as it produced it's own ( small compressor I guess). It worked at 70cfm so should have been efficient.

Actually, Amazon.com has another newer model ( 500P, I believe ) at $69.00 that is much better than the one I linked to. The reviews for the most part are good as well.

I bought the Philips 1100 "Steamium" so that I could stream music from the media server pc in the living room to the stereo amp in the family room (with the good speakers) and all the other PCs on the network. Geek heaven.
