Well not exactly a gadget, (as some of you know I am a Bartender/M'aitre d'/Server) but a cllient tipped me one of these today!
--> http://www.am-denmark.com/sort/engelsk/ ... 85188.html

The duo pack has the screen cleaner and the keyboard cleaner. It is hard to tell from the pic on that page but each are "housed" in their own brushed aluminum case witha spot to store the solution and the sponge pokes out the other side. The case itself is the handle. I think it was a pretty cool tip. He told me they are available at Future Shop and other electronics stores.

Here is the link to the catalog --> http://server02.dotminded.com/img/am/English/

Well, I ordered a nifty new Logitech wireless mouse from eBay, but I never got it. This is more a warning to people:
If u order something from eBay & u pay by PayPal & get a shipping Tracking Number ... what happens if the item you bought never makes it to you .... BUT .... when you use the Tracking # to find out what's going on ..... you get told the item was "successfully" delivered to you 2 weeks ago?

I'll tell u what happens: u r out of luck! PayPal will say because there was a tracking # and records state you got the item, they will dismiss your claim in favour of the seller, even if you've been with eBay for over 5 years and never had 1 negative in over 50 transactions - sigh!

I looked into this with Canada Post & a really nice person who was very candid with me said there is no record of anyone signing for my item - that likely it got brought to the wrong address and was handed to someone not honest ... who has got my mouse - grrrrrrrr :( !! So be careful people - make sure you buy insurance if you can and be especially careful if buying something very expensive - a tracking # does not guarantee you'll receive something. I found out afterwards, that the place I bought my mouse from had .... 198 negative feedbacks in May alone! But their overall score is over 98% as they do such huge volume - and that 98% overall score is what I looked at only when I decided to purchase - so next time I'll study the feedback with a magnifying glass. Rant over ! Unhappy Ratty eBayer ! I thought I'd save money buying my mouse on eBay, now I'm going to have to pay a lot more to get it - o well, I learned a good lesson I guess.

Hiya Pawly :) u right - that does SUCK ... bigtime! LOL

I ordered the LX-7, here's a link from NCIX: I liked the fact the batteries last way longer and the "antenna" part that looks like a memory stick u can just plug right into a usb port. And I like that cool blue colour too :) !

Well, to be fair to eBay, that was the 1st time anything went wrong. But this has shaken my confidence in eBay tho. If I go to my local mall store that has what I want, I know 4sure I'll get it LOL - no "Tracking Numbers" required - :D !! Cya
