I was able to trade my 4G iPod for a 5G video iPod thanks to my nephew Darin. The only problem was the 5G was scuffed and scratched pretty bad. After some reading I found this post about a Brasso fix It was under $3 at Wal-mart to buy Brasso, so I figured why not. Needless to say the iPod looks a whole lot better than before. Some of the scratches are still there and I will try a couple of more times and see if I can make them look better, but the iPod is a lot more shiny than it was before. I would recommend this to anyone with a scratched or scuffed up iPod.

Yes. It is really very, very free. There’s no prepayment, no minimum use, no subscription, no monthly fee, no nothing. You just download and install Skype and then you start calling. Both the caller and the number called must be in either the US or Canada. There are no strings attached.

My vintage Falcon came yesterday. It needed a lot of work, but it is now in displayable shape. The main body had some kind of gunk on it that came off with a wet cloth. The glue on the stickers dried up, so I used some spray adhesive and restuck them. I am still working on cleaning up the battery contacts to see if the elecronics will work. I have some before and after pictures at http://www.kemple.us/falcon The pics on the left are before and the pics on the right are after.
