Theoretically, the 405 can do the exact same thing, but, in reality, the 405 is usually not responsive at the end of a run because of moisture (that sweat thing again) or for whatever reason and I always found it annoying that I couldn’t see my history because the bezel wouldn’t react until I found a towel to dry my hands and the watch. (This is especially annoying when running with others and when finished, they ask you how we did and you can’t answer because the 405 is frozen). So, my advice, get the 305 if you want to save some money and if you want a running watch you can use to get information while you are running and immediately after your run. Get the 405 if you want a watch that looks good and the wireless ANT is important to you. You will not regret getting the 305 and you really don’t notice the bulk of the watch once you start running.

Black & Decker CM1936 19-Inch 36-Volt Cordless Electric Lawn Mower With Removable Battery
No problem. The mower cuts right thru it even when damp from the dew. This electric does very well, as well as my old gasoline powered mowers. The question of corded vs battery was answered for me when I borrowed the neighbor’s corded mower. It was my first experience with electrics and I was pleased to see the power of the mower but I found it a chore to manuever the cord, keep out from under the mower (half the time I was mowing one handed while holding the cord away with the other hand#, unplug and replug to reach all the areas. I have some trees and free form shaped plant beds so I had to keep track of where the cord was so I didn’t end up wrapping the cord around a tree or doubling back on myself. The battery mower eliminated all of that. It is just as powerful as the corded and well worth the extra money to not have to wrestle the cord around. As to battery duration, my neighbor and I now share my battery mower #sold his corded electric to my brother in law). The manual says it takes up to 12 hours for a full recharge. My neighbor and I can both use the mower on the same charge and get a full recharge within 5 hours. We both have small yards, 50×100 lots with 1200 sq ft house footprints, 2 car garages at the back and paved driveways to the garages. It takes about 20 minutes for me to do mine and not much more for my neighbor. My conclusion is that this mower is well worth the money and I strongly recommend it. Read more »
Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation System DVD Set
I am very pleased with the set. I’ve been wanting to try the Zumba class, but I didn’t want to spend $500 on the gym for just an hour or two a week. So to save money and child care, I decided to buy the set. It is great! It was easy for me to follow since I used to enjoy this kind of dancing in my younger years. If you’re a beginner, The Easy Beats Breakdown system is easy to follow. The shakers are a great tool to get my son in the fun. If you’re planning to do this in your own home, make sure to wear shoes while dancing on carpet. At the end of the 20 min workout, the balls of my feet and toes were burning! As much as I enjoy the Latin beats, I find myself using the dance with other upbeat songs too. You won’t be disappointed. Read more »
Guild Wars Game of the Year
I will have to say that this game is very enjoyable. I’ve been really enjoying the pvp so far. The PvE is quite fun as well. I really have fun experimenting with different PvP configurations. And probably one of the nicest things is there is no monthly charges. Read more »
BioShock [Download]
Its wonderful, unique underwater setting, art deco, graphics are marvelous, sound work fantastic, the bad thing, its single player only and too short for me. There are two endings based on weather you save or harvest Little Sisters, but just as i gathered enough plasmids, tonics, weapons and upgrades to enjoy the game without dying too fast and was ready for like additional 10 to 20 hours of battling SPLICERS in Rapture the game comes the the final Boss fight and thats it. Buy it if you want for 19,99 no more. The plasmids are very cool, and weapons are sweet, so if you don’t mind the game s limited replay value of 13teen chapters through like 20 of total hours get it. I badly wish it was longer. P.S. I bought it used and there was NO problem with activation or Evil Securom DRM that many people complained about before and gave a game bad reviews because of it. The game ran silk smooth on my PC with Sempron 3400+, 1 gig of RAM, and e VGA 7600 GT Read more »
Acer Aspire AS1410-8414 11.6-Inch Sapphire Blue Laptop - 6 Hour Battery Life
Having read a million reviews for laptops, I think this is a very personal thing, and you should try the keyboard and trackpad before you buy if you can (like at best buy etc.) One guys rough trackpad is perfect for somebody else. If the mouse jumps because at this size with your hands the inside meat of your palms brushes the trackpad, is that a design flaw (note this is an example, I don’t actually have this problem)? Overall it is one of the nicer trackpad/keyboard combos for me… I like a trackpad that feels like matte finish plastic (vs. smooth, shiny plastic or really fine grit sandpaper) and that is what this has. What else… no CDROM is obviously a huge BENEFIT for form factor. Yes you’ll need an external if you want back up DVDs… It would be nice if you could make a backup USB instead, but you can’t. I made the DVDs and can restore if I need to. The screen is gorgeous. Windows 7 rocks (about time, microsoft) Ger one! Read more »

PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System, PIF-300
We bought our system over a month ago and are very pleased with it. We have 2 Great Danes, one is 2 yrs old and the other was 8 months when we got the system. The youngest one caught onto the warnings within a day. The older one had caught on to the warning beeps within 3 days. We didn’t set the flags out as when we set the sytem up we had about 3 feet of snow, and the flags are white and really couldn’t be seen. We trained the dogs by using the warning beeps. I can now turn the dogs out without their colars on at all and they stay within the boundry. Very please with this system. Would highly recommend this to other dog owners! Read more »
