Where is a good place to shop for greeting cards online?

JDean1986 answered dtstallings's question

I shop at two different places online and you can even customize your own greeting cards for the holidays! I love adding a family photo to my cards because even if you are on a tight budget these can be personal and still make a heart warming gift. I came across some that are for different occasions and have listed them for you to check out.

Shutter Fly is a great online store where you can purchase greeting cards pre-made or customize one yourself. You can even add pictures of yourself or family.

Paper Cards is also another fantastic website and they have such low prices! They can even send the card to the person you are wanting to get it for.

This will save you time and you do not have to leave the house! I hope you find a card suitable for what you are looking for! If you would like anymore help, please let me know!

What is a good AT&T flip phone? Preferably one that won't snap in two in a few months or crack.

iDealGolfer answered dtstallings's question

I just love a flip phone just for the whole style action of flipping it open. I had a great phone with ATT until I switched and it was just fantastic. The RAZR V3 is complemented by an impressive external display. The precision-cut metal keypad reacts to the lightest of touches. And the features you can't always see are equally impressive, like quad-band GSM - for global calls where GSM network coverage and roaming agreements are present.

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a lap tray to hold your laptop in?

SmartShopper answered dtstallings's question

UZO1 multifunctional laptaop and reading stand is a very good lap tray. It can be used for many different things. If you want to have breakfast in bed, it can also be used as a breakfast tray. What I like about this lap tray is the fact that it has an Ergonomic sleek design that makes using your laptop easy and comfortable. Your laptop will not slide or move and you can tilt it if you desire so that you can have your laptop at an angle for ease of use. You can get it for $29.99.

What are some good financial calculators?

sf43935 answered dtstallings's question

Thank you so much for your question. I did not realize that there are calculators that will help you with your financial work, and I can certainly see now how these would help out with those complicated figures.
A high-capacity memory plus Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) and algebraic functioning make the HP 17BII+ a wise financial investment. RPN saves time and keystrokes by allowing mathematical expressions without having to use parentheses and brackets. It also allows you to see intermediary results as you perform computations, letting you follow the stream of calculations for better mathematical understanding.
The Texas Instruments BA II Plus operates in standard calculator and worksheet modes. The standard mode lets you perform common math as well as operations involving the time value of money--that is, applications such as mortgages or annuities in which payments are equal and evenly spaced. You can also perform trigonometric functions in standard mode. The more hard-core worksheet mode includes tables for a mortization, bond,depreciation, and compound interest. If you're not familiar with such calculations, the very helpful user's manual will guide you through the process. All previous worksheet values are stored in memory, so youdon't have to retype all the bond maturity or cash flow analysis figures.
A financial model,the HP-12C provides basic business functions including depreciation and date arithmetic. It has become the standard business calculator and is HPs longest-selling calculator.

What are some good Blu-ray equipped laptops that come with a free upgrade to Windows 7?

ushi answered dtstallings's question

Sony has two models that offer you both! They are designed to bring you the richness of the blu-ray player and you can also configure them to come pre-installed with Windows 7! (I would always go for the preinstalled version over the upgrade) Both the Vaio X and CW are great choices.

The Sony VAIO CW Series notebook features a 14-inch (diagonal) widescreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio in a thin-and-light chassis. Sony offers the VAIO CW in blue, pink, red, black and white. You can equip the CW with a Blu-ray drive. Other features of the Sony VAIO CW Windows 7 notebook include HDMI out, NVIDIA GeForce GPU, up to 8GB RAM, up to 500GB HDD, and Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.The Sony VAIO CW series notebook starts at about $780. It has just been unveiled and will be available around October 22.

The Sony Vaio X series Equipped with an 11.1-inch 16x9 LED backlit display that has a scratch-resistant screen, as well as built-in 3G compatible withVerizon. The Vaio X starts at $1,300

An SSD drive instead of a hard disk drive (64 GB)
Built-in GPS that doesn't require an internet connection to function
A multi-touch trackpad that Sony promises will work "like a smartphone"
Both a standard and long-life battery packaged right in thebox, which Sony claims will provide up to 17 combined hours ofplug-free work.

Either way, you will be getting a tremendous laptiop. The X series has the size and feel closer to the netbook but delivers the power of a laptop. Thin, light and portable. It was just unveiled October 7, and will, be avilable October 22.

If you do not want to wait for these you can purchase other Sony models, that do come with a free upgrade to Windows 7, and include the Blu Ray. I've include those below. (One does not come with the upgrade---but the starting price is great!). Sony has products with good reviews from customers and techies alike, and they offer great screen resolution and color!

Hope this helps! Happy viewing and computing!

susan answered dtstallings's question

Here are a few that are offered below $500. Some good deals out there! ; )
Enjoy!
The minimalist HP G60 series delivers the essentials. A glossy, piano-black HP Imprint finish on the cover provides greater durability than traditional painted surfaces, and the silver finish on the palm rest, keyboard, and touchpad provide an elegant counterpoint.
