More neat gadgets

The CyberGuys site intrigues me more every day. They seem to stock a lot of specialty items related to the electronic age. Here are some of the latest items that seem quite useful as well as unique:
  • Plusdeck2c - converts cassette tapes to MP3 format. Put them on an MP3 player, computers, USB stick ... whatever. Music to go. And the sound doesn't get scratchier with age! Coming in September will be a similar type product for records, the Ion USB Turntable.
  • Retractible USB file transfer tool. Transfer files directly from computer to computer (or notebook to PC). The included file transfer software automatically starts after both USB cables are plugged in. Just drag and drop files or folders.
  • DVD/CD Carousel. Remember slide carousels? Same principle. The unit holds 150 CDs or DVDs. Inventory software uses a database to let you find and access files on any CD in the carousel. You can even stack carousels.
  • Power Station Organizer. This handy unit gets you gang three charger units and hide the AC/DC converter and cord mess. It includes cable ties and allows for larger chargers. Got an iPod, handheld computer, cell phone, or similar? Charge any three of them all at one efficiently organized unit and use only one electrical wall outlet.
  • Laptop as desktop unit. The laptop organizer lets you raise up your notebook to a better height for viewing its screen when you're using it on a desktop surface. If you use a notebook as your only computer, check this out.

I have only bought one item from them (so far), but the online ordering process was painless and it arrived quickly. You may opt in for emailed "flyers" of new and sale CyberGuys items ("exclusive email specials"). I chose to get them.

"Safety" reminder: Some sites might sell your email address. Others may have less than the best security and hackers capture client email addresses without the company knowing it. Use either a separate or a "throw away" email address to protect your main email address from spam accidentally (or deliberately) triggered by ordering online. This is an online "Best Practice", not a comment on the safety of the CyberGuys site. They say they do not sell or trade your email address.

[No, I don't get any kickback for comments about CyberGuys, nor am I in any way affiliated with their company. I just think they have neat items.]
