But first, yesterday's winner is JKD, who had an unfortunate experience with another iGo: Yes, it’s all good, investing in all the tips, just to have the el cheapo Chinese power supply die on you less than one year later. Then you discover you can’t get the replacement model and the connecting tips don’t fit the new and improved version. Oh, how I hate iGo How can we not give him--and them--a second chance? Now for the good stuff. We're opening up...
