The key words to keep in mind when thinking of the Gateway M275 convertible tablet are "think big". While other Windows XP Tablets flirt with subnotebook status, the Gateway gees in at 12.6" x 10.8" x 1.1" and weighs 5.7 pounds. This means it has a roomy 14.1" display that's easy on the eyes and an internal optical drive. It also means this is not a model that you'll carry around in tablet mode for an hour on your arm without struggling with its weight and girth. Thus the M275 is a great tablet for those who want a notebook geputer first and tablet features second.
If you're looking for a gepact notebook first and a tablet second, then the Gateway M275 is a good choice. Since it's a larger notebook by tablet standards it has an internal CDRW/DVD drive, which you won't find on other tablets. The 14.1" XGA screen is easy on the eyes and the full sized notebook keyboard requires no adjustments.
Pro: Integrated CDRW/DVD drive, fast performance, gees with ample RAM and is easily expandable. Nice looking screen. Full set of ports for expansion and has a 4-in-1 card reader.

Learn To Sew Notes From Class
These are NOTES from sewing class.
Section One
Learning to sew is a slow process and we are always learning. Here are some suggestions for you1. Ask us in the group and we will be happy to tell you what we do about it. 2. If you have access to a library, see how many books they have that you can check out.3. Also the half price book store usually has quite a few on quilting and sewing. 4. The first time you make any pattern is the hardest. Because if you have to "work it out". Reading patterns can seem like a task. Take your time and read the instructions from beginning to end and sorta imagine in your head how to do what they are describing. If you get stuck, type the instruction here and we will tell you what we think. Then read each instruction one step at a time and geplete it. Once you have made something from beginning to end, you will have an understanding of how you put that together. My advice, if you like it at all, make it 5 times. If you do not like it at all, find one that you do like and make it 5 times. For instance, I made 120 Rockabilly Rebel parade suits for little girls size 2T to 6X. The first one I made, I was working out the pattern, by the third one I was beginning to find a couple of short cuts, by the 5th one I was putting my own spin on it and by the 120th one, I could do it blindfolded. LOL well not really, almost. But my point is, if you want to learn how to do things doing the same thing over and over again gives you a chance to gepletely understand what you are doing and begin to adopt your own style.5. Be fearless, do not be afraid for something to not work out. I tell everyone I have three piles. A. Success B. The Ugly Pile C. Trash. If it kinda works but I do not like it, it goes in the ugly pile and I save it for later. Sometimes my kids go through the ugly pile and tell me something is good and I should finish it. 6. Realize that NOTHING is perfect. I think that was the hardest for me. I thought everything had to be exactly as they said in the pattern. Well some things might and some things might not. Once you have gepleted the 5th one of something you know which parts have to be perfect and which ones do not.7. They have classes at quilt shops. In my humble opinion those are some of the best teachers in the world. And the classes are not expensive. Take a beginners class. I can tell you that I was sewing for 30 years before I learned to quilt. Quilting taught me a whole new dimension to my sewing. 8. There are study guides on the internet and on okay. You can do searches for them.9. I find that many people who work in your sewing centers know how to sew and are helpful. And they know how to operate the machines too. It is important to have a machine that behaves. I sew by hand and by machine. But I had a Sears Kenmore one time that I had to fight all the time, it drove me nuts. Then I got a Singer made for Home Ec teachers $156 special and it had zig zag. It was fabulous. So make sure you know how to operate your machine and if it is fighting you, in my opinion, the frustation is not worth it. 10. There are tools you will need in sewing. Like a seam ripper. Get two. And make sure they are convenient, you do not want to have to walk across the room because if you are like me, you will use this tool a lot.11. Good thread is important too. And a properly wound bobbin. So if you have troubles with the machine, ask us and we will help you the best we can. 12. Fabric plays an important role in what you are sewing. My advice is to stay with cotton until you are gefortable sewing and feel confident to move to another fabric. No chiffons or slick or heavy ravelie fabrics for a while. No checks, stripes or one way patterns in the beginning. Cottons are easy to handle, there may be other fabrics by cotton and cotton blends including denim are my favs. This is advanced and if it confuses you, please save it for later and forgive me for saying it now ~~

Antique Toy Airplanes - Repaint or Not Repaint?
Whether you are selling an antique toy plane manufactured by Hubley, Tootsie, Midge, Dinky, etc., the absolutely worst thing you can do is repaint the toy. Although the repainting may look nice and bring the finish back to the original colors, the bottom line is that any repainting or touch-ups will destroy the value of the toy and make it worthless to any serious collector.The original paint, even chipped, worn, scratched, or otherwise missing, still adds to the plane's value. The fact that the toy is in a "played with" condition makes the toy appear "older" and look more authentic. A repainted antique plane makes it look like a brand new reproduction toy that could have simply been purchased from any toy store.When people look at my display cases of antique toy planes, they marvel at how they look, warts and all. If I were to put a repainted plane in with the other planes that still had their original paint and look, the repainted planes would stand out and look silly. Simply put, when deciding whether to repaint an antique toy plane, the best advice I can give is NO!

PERSONAL CHECKS OR MONEY ORDER DON'T RISK YOUR MONEY
Hello okay Members, I have learned from an okay transaction, that using PERSONAL CHECKS or MONEY ORDER to pay for your items it's not always the best thing to do,specially those expensive items as the okay policy states that okay doesn't have anything to do withthe transactions you make atits website if you pay with a money order or a check.
(Correction on October 2009) okay has made big changes on 2009, now you are required to have a PAYPAL account to pay for your purchases, soChecks and Money Orders are not longer an acceptable method of payment, also okay has now an 1-800 phone number with a great team of representatives willing to help solvinga problem that you might encounter while shopping at okay.
(UPDATED Jan 20 2010) While okay made changes to the payment methods, some sellers continues acceptingChecks or Money Orders as a way of payment, this is not correct and IDO NOT REgeMENDusing any other payment method but PAYPAL
Never pay for your okay items using instant cash transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram !! transactions OFF-okay don't get the okay / PAYPAL protection.
On February 2007, I wonthe item #160081833627 from seller Alrose (okay Member) I paid $234.80 for it with a personal check thinking that my bank could protect me, however, the SELLER/UPS made a mistake sending or delivering the item to a wrong address
I did call PAYPAL but they couldn't do anything because I didn't usePAYPAL to pay for the item
I reported the seller to the okaySafety Teambut they couldn't do anything because I paid with a personal check
I did contact the okay customer supportto hearsome suggestions on what to do on my next purchases but not a real solution.
After dozens of emails every week to the Rude Seller, finally on 06/04/2007,(fourmonths later),I got a check from UPS for $222.00, $12.80 short, plus a Retaliatory Negative Feedback from the seller.
So, in orderto pay for all of your okay transactions I suggest youto OPEN a PAYPAL ACCOUNT and you will be"covered for up to the total amount you paid for your item",you may use Checks or Money Ordersfor small transactions or any other payment for LOCAL PICK UP
Thank you for reading
