Judo for everyone, eight to eighty.
Judo

Hello Leslie, when I wrote a counter-review long ago here, I set a notification and just got it when you wrote this excellent introduction. I noticed that you 'only' recommended my article but yours is indeed a lot better and I do highly recommend it. Please let me explain. The first posting in t...his category by user onabreak2 stated that judo was excellent self-defense and taught useful kicks and punches. So my review focused on correcting that impression. (User onabreak2 took out the wrong information since then.) Anyway, your editorial is very helpful and I just wanted to say 'hello'. -PeterRead More

AT&T 22251 - A weak phone

I have got this cordless phone for 9 months now - I got it on sale and thought that with a 900 MHz phone I would not go wrong. The best part of this phone is the second battery. The bad in brief: the batteries have to be charged/ exchanged more often than I like. I keep the phone in the...Read more

I know too many people with Yahoo Messenger (Y!M) to turn my back on this product. I am not too happy with Y!M but what can one do - Yahoo has all those other community features like groups (they acquired egroups) and clubs. I came to use Y!M since I was a member of a Yahoo Club.

I just read a review on the ''Indoor Game'' of Judo and found some mistakes in it. It starts with the title of the other review - it refers to Judo as self-defense. Judo today is usually ''sports judo''. Most dojos teach sports judo. Some words: judo = being the 'gentle way'. dojo = ...Read more

Great Self Defense Techniques
Judo

1) there are no chops in sports judo. 2) there is no brick breaking And the weight/ physical strength is important although a smaller person with good technique can be successful. Finally, Judo is not really suitable for self-defense. Sorry, but I cannot recommend your review.. Peter

I find it interesting that they placed 'Wrestling' as an 'Indoor GAME'!!! -Peter

The IBM Thinkpad i-series

I've worked with a Thinkpad of the I 1500 series in my last job. This web site doesn't list the 1500 series, only the 1200 and 1400. So some parts of this review may not apply to the 1200 models. The I series is the low-cost series that IBM put out to compete with other cheap offers. To compl...Read more
