The Grundig 960 Classic 50th Anniversary model blends a functional AM/FM shortwave radio with the quality design of Grundig's 1950s-era box radio. Replicating the original wood construction with brass accents, the 960 provides rich, warm sound through its three-speaker cabinet. Also included is a very contemporary external audio input, which supplies the option of connecting a TV, CD player, or VCR.This solid retro unit has an attractive cloth-covered speaker and sturdy manual volume and tuning knobs. Tuning initially requires developing something of a feel; we found that it was easy to spin past our preferred frequency at first. But with a little practice, we began to feel quite expert, and we were soon tuning in very clear FM, medium-wave, and shortwave signals, both foreign and domestic. Since there are only a few controls, setup is easy, allowing plenty of time to sit back and listen.
Two 3-inch side speakers and one 4-inch front speaker with 3-watt power output produce a clean, crisp sound. Grundig's instruction book is designed to look like the original, but its text is thoroughly contemporary. As an attractive conversation piece or an opportunity to discover shortwave radio, the Grundig 960 Classic is a real turn-on. The unit comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. --David Greenberger

Amazon.com Product Description
The classic is back, but this time, it's even better. Rich sound, accurate tuning, and the ultimate in retro-cool; it's all built into this updated version of the legendary Grundig Model 960. Gather the family around and relive radio days gone by with this stunning replica of a classic. In addition to AM/FM tuning, the Model 960 also tunes on the shortwave band, so you can listen to broadcasts from around the world.The Model 960 doesn't scrimp on sound or features. The analog tuner offers great accuracy, with a smooth operating tuning dial matched to an easy-to-read frequency indicator. Volume, bass, and treble thumbwheels are arrayed on the front of the cabinet. Three-inch side speakers on the left and right of the radio are paired with a four-inch, front-firing speaker to reinforce the radio's bass response. Total power is rated at three Watts. It all adds up to rich, room-filling sound.
While many replicas retain the look of the original, they often scrimp on materials and workmanship. Not so with the Model 960. The radio's cabinet is made of solid wood and the gold-tone, illuminated dial and knobs are accented with solid brass. In a bow to modern sensibilities, the Model 960 does feature a stereo line-in jack for connecting a CD player or other external device.

Grudig 940...great for XM.......2007-02-09
For old times sake.......2004-10-04
Things to reflect upon about this product..............2003-12-28
1.) There are two versions of this radio, one that was "the 960 classic". Identified by it's extremely dark finish and a horizontal list of small boxes with counries listed in them just below the FM scale. Another couple of ways to tell edition one from the second edition is the side speaker grills on version one is divided in four sections (on the Second edition has only three sections). The function keys (FM,AM,SW...) on the Second editions are much taller then on the first.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT??? The second edition has much better attention (and quality control) on the tuning section. Over all it's better performing product.
With that said that brings me to my second point (I take it you're really interested if you've read this far!!!)
2.) I own both editions of the "Classic 960" and enjoy both. I think (by reading the other reviews) some folks expect a bit much from this radio IT IS NOT A WATKINS JOHNSON 8718 SHORTWAVE RECEIVER!!! NOR IS IT A McIntosh STEREO SYSTEM!!!
Again with that said it is solid on AM/FM and Shortwave if setup properly (A.K.A. like ALL radios it needs a GOOD antenna).
My point in closing is this; this radio can be had for less then $150.00 for the money it looks, sounds and performs very respectable. If you expect more than that you will not be happy. However if you keep your expectations realistic you will enjoy this fine little radio.
Nice radio depending on how you use it.......2003-11-04
great product!.......2003-06-08

Apple Studio Display 21 - Display - CRT - 21" - 1600 x 1200 / 85 Hz - 0.27 mm - white, graphite
Manufacturer: Apple Computer ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics ASIN: B0009LXCWS |
Product Description
This 21-inch (19.8-inch viewable) display incorporates advanced Trinitron technology for vivid colors and sharp text. The internal ColorSync-based calibration system is ideal for professionals who demand color accuracy and consistency from display to display over time. Powerful software lets you set up the monitor for your particular application. Four USB ports built into the tilt-and-swivel base allow convenient connection of peripherals.The Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology is an uncompromising monitor that provides accurate color for every situation. It combines lifetime color calibration with outstanding visual performance and a stunning appearance-all for little more than competitive monitors without those features. The first thing you'll notice about this Apple Studio Display is its striking appearance. Its elegant translucent enclosure and sleek design complements Apple's newest Power Macintosh G3 systems and is also highly functional. It includes a four-port Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub, and its unique stand has room underneath to store your keyboard. But the most important feature of the Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology is its superior color accuracy-and its ability to maintain that accuracy over its lifetime. Using a patented internal measurement system, the monitor adjusts its electron beam as time passes to maintain the precise calibrations made at the factory. It can also compensate for changes in the ambient light. And because it stores its own ColorSync profiles, it can exchange accurate color information with the other devices in your production process, creating color consistency that directly translates into fewer trial-and-error stages when you output color documents.

Waste of Money.......2004-06-14
Want an unsafe case for your Treo? Here it is!.......2003-07-31
My favorite until it broke in three months!.......2003-03-04
THE BAD STUFF: To use the Treo, you have to pull it out, thus exposing it to possible damage. The velcro is noisy when opening the flap, thus preventing discreet use. And, FINALLY, the "button" on the back that slides into the clip broke off. This renders the case useless as clip-on device. Repair would require cutting stitching from the back, inserting a new "button" and re-stitching the retaining patch of leather back onto the case.
I am now searching other options.
It is too bad it broke like this. Despite its shortcomings, it was the carry case of choice for me. My third try. Maybe it's "fourth time's a charm?"
