A stone polisher.

Noisy, runs 24/7.

Good for a boy.

Parents lose mind.

Return to store.

Good one, does it come with a burned channel guide map?

Isn’t that required? Along with burned out pixels. . .

I was given an i-pad after complementing someones. Turned out that although it looked contemporary it was too old and wouldn’t accept installs or upgrades. Thanks!

FR’s mission is to reduce govt largess, not advocate for a single corporation. The Apple-fest threads will always be antithetical on FR.

I have a couple of quad videotapes.

Someone could use them as weights.

They are 60 minute ones.
