Wonderful selection. Great size range. You will not find both in your neighborhood unless your neighborhood includes a VHS.

It is nuts to pay retail for ski equipment. Powder7.com sells lightly-used, top of the line skis for a fraction of retail. If you are convenient to west Denver, you can pick up your purchase, but their shipping rate seems reasonable.

Dogs tend to beat the hell out of dog doors. Gundoghousedoor.com sells dog doors that can stand up to heavy use and abuse. I would recommend the Easy Pet Door if you value silent operation and can stand incomplete weather insulation; the Heavy Duty Pet Door seals out weather better, but it is spring loaded and closes noisily.

I go back to boomerangtags.com again and again (new pets, change of address, etc.) The cost is no more than the crummy metal tags, which quickly become illegible or tear off, you engrave yourself at the pet store. Boomerang tags are made of beefy plastic and the information on them stays clear. The one time one of my dogs managed to lose his, they replaced it willingly. I have always gotten their classic plastic tags; they now offer collar tags, which are supposed to be less likely to get tangled on things.

Prices are great, cables are beefy, and service is excellent. You can probably get three cables, with shipping, for less than the cost of one cable in a retail store.

I ordered a 7 inch notebook, for $100, plus $14 for a two year replacement warranty, and $3 for priority shipping. (Very important: there is also an option to get one in an "open box" for $20 less.) The product came promptly and in some ways was perfectly adequate for the price: screen, touchpad and keyboard all were acceptable. But the performance! As I said to them, it was shocking how little it could do and how slowly it did it, before running out of memory. So I asked to return it and an RMA was quickly issued to me, and I have just gotten word that they have issued a refund: for $75. So, they have a net profit of $39 (product plus warranty minus $75) and a product they can sell again for $80 (with some probable warranty revenue.) It seems that returns with product recycling could be their business model.
