My First Thoughts On The N86
Alrighty. I said I would review the N86, but it would have to be in pieces because it’s going to take me a while to master this beast. Let’s do the setup piece first. I would have done this earlier, but having to get apartment folk to chase down what was causing my sink to …

This Video Blows!
Edit: I guess I got my wish when I said this video has to go. It’s been pulled. I doubt they did it for me though. It’s probably because that video is out of date. Hopefully they didn’t make a new, crappy one for the Victor Reader Trek. Aside: Hahahahaha Victor Reader Trek. Is anyone …
