Brinkmann Patio 2Burner Gas Grill 810-3260-SB Smoker & Grill
Pros: Grills well, holds heat, materials Solid once assembled, good price, space saver for my small apartment deck. Made Great Steaks for Hubby and Me :)
Cons: Instructions leave a lot to imagination, upside down take it a part turn it around and learn patience. Some bends in the metal that pop out no biggie it's not apparent once assembled. Don't trust the pictures of the instructions depth it not prevalent in the artists mind.
Overall Review: I love grilled food. This little grill is classy looking on my deck and now to find a grill cover for its size without swallowing it up. The quest is on.
Windows 7 64-bit - Retail vs. OEM
Pros: Windows 7 layout is user friendly with the classic style of Home XP layout or the Sleek style of Windows 7 layout I enjoy having the opt, good price, quick delivery
Cons: Computer is slightly lagging on the 64-bit where it was not on the 32-bit. Could be due to settings that I contol and have yet to discover. I show 2 Program File folders which threw me off at first and I found out it was normal with 64-bit.
Overall Review: I was in need of support from Microsoft after the install and was refused because it is an OEM.

It is a retail version of Windows 7 Home bought 11/30/12. i requested support for the install and was given a response of i would have to pay. is this correct for install support? You say it's a retail version, but the response you got makes it sound like it's an OEM version. Just in case you're not aware of it, OEM versions can be gotten in two different ways: preinstalled on an OEM manufactured computer (such as Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.) or sold in the retail market. So just because you bought it retail doesn't mean it's a retail version. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-home/9a6aefe9-1ef6-4bd4-a5ca-60508fde4118 Here is a quote from the "Microsoft Licensing Guide","There is a growing market for Do-it-Yourself Home Hobbyists who assemble PCs from components for their own use. Microsoft FPP full version software licenses are the appropriate licenses for this market. OEM System Builder software is not intended for this use unless the PC that is assembled is being sold to another party." http://oem.microsoft.com/public/worldwide/licensing/microsoft_oem_system_builder_licensing_guide_v2_012111.pdf

Good Mouse
Pros: I have had this mouse for nearly a year and I just love it. I am a female and it fits my hand perfectly. Its so smooth and fine tuned. I couldn't believe the difference in it and the old logi... mice I've always had in the past. grins
Cons: My husband complains when I'm on facebook harvesting my crops because, the mouse click sound is very pronouced. Plus, when the battery gets low I get a huge red warning message above the task bar and it freaks me out I always think I've got a virus.
Overall Review: It's the sleekest mouse I've ever held in my hand. I just love it. The colors are great. I wanted them all!
