    How Do You Return Gmail to Basic HTML Permanently?

    I know this thread is years old, but I found it via keyword search & my case is relevant to the OP's. So i'm weighing in just for the record. (Been a long time since I was las here.) I've been trying out a new Win-10 laptop that's higher speed than my previous XP and Win7 laptops. On my XP and...

    Current best LED lantern?

    Thanks! Sorry this is way overdue: Indeed I finally bought the Rayovac sportsman extreme quite awhile ago, and like yourself find it neck and neck with the warm cree. The former would probably last much longer on batteries, while the warm-cree is pleasanter on the eyes while not as bright as...

    Current best LED lantern?

    Filibuster, how does your Rayovac compare to your Warm Cree? I'm tempted to get the Rayovac (it's been in my amazon cart for quite a while already. I recently ordered the Warm Cree via amazon, and finding it somewhat brighter than the Energizer Weatheready, though the Energizer Weatheready may...

    my Cree vs. Energizer lanterns - questions

    Is there any online forum for laypersons where I can get recommendations for batteries to insert inside lanterns? That's what i've basically been seeking thru all my posts on candlepower, but still don't know what to do.

    hand-crank battery charger (hack video) - any good reason why none for sale?

    Believe it or not, prior to this post, I had contacted Freeplay (including the link to their FreeCharge) to ask them whether by any chance there's a hand crank device to charge AA's. I don't believe I received a response, unless it's in my Spam folder - i'll have to check. As for solar, I'm...

    my Cree vs. Energizer lanterns - questions

    Regarding recharging alkalines, could be the problems people experienced was mostly with Duracell-brand. See one of the commenters at the end of this review: http://the-gadgeteer.com/2005/09/14/battery_xtender_alkaline_battery_recharger/ Is there any Warm-LED lantern that lasts as long as the...

    my Cree vs. Energizer lanterns - questions

    Actually, I once read a review by a techie strongly stating that Xtender can definitely recharge alkalines, and also see reviews of ReZap 7301. Furthermore, when I used my Cree Lantern with Duracell NiMH (2000 mAh) AA batteries, it dimmed after approx. 6 hours. Duracell then told me that their...

    my Cree vs. Energizer lanterns - questions

    Are you saying that those Dantona's (or emedions) last longer than Panasonic Digital Alkaline? Emphasis on capacity, vs. how many cycles each can run (besides, the Digital Alkalines can be rezapped in a Rezapper or Xtender, can't they?

    hand-crank battery charger (hack video) - any good reason why none for sale?

    The below guy was able to turn a laptop battery plus circuit board into a hand-crank battery charger. So my question is, since it can be done, why aren't hand-crank AA battery chargers available for sale, so I can buy one to recharge my Duracell NiMh batteries for use in my Cree lantern during...

    my Cree vs. Energizer lanterns - questions

    Thing is, I already had gotten the Duracell value charger - including NiMh AA's which some people online suspect to actually be Eneloop, except in different packaging. These batteries only got 6.5 hours on the High setting of the Cree before dimming. Which is why I'm wondering whether the...

    Hi, if anyone can offer the benefit of their experience, thanks. (1) I timed my Duracell NiMH long life batteries for use (on the High setting) inside my warm Cree XLamp warm LED 110 Lumens lantern. I actually didn't time it precisely, since I wasn't available the entire time. But I know that...
