So, it makes sense that they would have the will have units with damaged boxes. That's okay, because they offer the standard 30 day guarantee. If … [Read more...]

Running for Cover… My Car Cover, that is!
February 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Back in the 1980s and 90s I worked as an independent computer consultant. My work took me all over the east coast. For most jobs, I enjoyed driving to the client's site because it gave me time to think and relax. Any time I traveled away from home I brought a car cover with me to cover my car while it was not being driven. During the day the cover protected my car from sunlight, birds and airborne contamination. At night my car cover kept my car dry and away from the prying eyes of … [Read more...]
Sun Lovers Beware: Your Car Needs Sunscreen, Too!
February 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When I was a kid, my parents let me run around outside for hours without a thought of skin protection. Being a fair-skinned boy, I'd get burns that would make my skin blister. Over the past 25 years or so we've come to realize just how damaging the sun is to both us and our stuff. These days, most parents are savvy enough to cover their children with SPF-30 or better sun protection, but are we as smart about our cars? Modern cars are being designed with inherent protection features, but … [Read more...]

Never Wax Your Car Again: Beware Snake Oil in Car Wax!
February 16, 2010 By 1 Comment
Recently I ran across a car wax ad that prompted me to click. It said "Never Wax Your Car Again!" Sounds enticing, doesn't it? I call it snake oil! When I went to the product web site I was immediately bombarded with FUD marketing. I backed out as fast as I could to get back to the search page I was on. Just below the ad I clicked was another ad advertising "5-Year Shine!" that's "endorsed by the U.S. Military." Again, more FUD. What is FUD, you … [Read more...]
