5 out of 5 stars The Crystals are sweet and clear.......2007-06-16

This Crystals CD is a must have. The songs are so sweet. Uptown is very nice to hear. The one I love to hear is "Look in my eyes" alot. I was almost 16 when I first heard it on the radio in late 1991. It is so sweet. "Oh, Yeah, Maybe, Baby" is also sweet too. I would add the Crystals into the archives. You won't find no other one.

5 out of 5 stars If You Love Girl Groups.......2007-05-02

The Crystals are among the American girl groups that made it big during the early 1960's, the golden age of girl groups and Brill Building songsters. They had some big hits, "He's A Rebel," "He's Sure The Boy I Love," "Then He Kissed Me," and "Da Doo Ron Ron," all penned by those famous tenants in Broadway's Brill Building: Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Doc Pomus, Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, even Neil Sedaka. And, for sure, the legendarily bizarre composer/producer/impresario himself, Phil Spector. The man who invented the "wall of sound;" who created "little symphonies for the kids," as he loved to call them. The man who's now hitting the front pages of your newpaper, for reasons that have nothing to do with music.

The Crystals were, in fact, one of Spector's groups, signed to him at his celebrated Hollywood Gold Star Studios, where a lot of awesome music got made. His studio musicians included Leon Russell on piano/keyboard, Sonny Bono on percussion, and Glen Campbell and Billy Strange on guitar. The Crystals, however, were Spector's secondary girl group, of less interest to him than were the Ronettes: well, he was going to marry Ronnie.

Amazon.com Product Description

Delivering powerful performance for your everyday computing needs, the Sony Vaio VGN-FS550 notebook PC is also ready to grow with your multimedia demands. You'll be able to easily create high-quality DVDs in one click and display it on the 15.4-inch crisp, XBRITE LCD. Slim and lightweight (at just over 6 pounds), the VGN-FS550 also offers a battery life of up to 5.5 hours thanks to the battery-sipping Intel Centrino processor. It also features an 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM, multiformat, dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive, 54g wireless connectivity, a Memory Stick slot for easy transfer of your photos from your Sony digital camera, and Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 2). For a step up in price, the Vaio VGN-FS570 offers a larger hard drive and 1 GB of RAM.

<b>The Basics</b>
<ul>

  • Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is a bit above average in size for notebook PCs, and it's befitting of such an entertainment-centric PC. It offers more than enough capacity for storing documents and productivity software for road warriors. You'll also be able to store a good-sized digital audio library.
  • Processor: The Intel Centrino M processor is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. It features a Deep Sleep state, which helps enable longer battery life by minimizing the power consumption of the processor during brief periods of inactivity. The 1.6 GHz speed is in the middle of the speed spectrum for this processor (as of winter, 2004), and it also offers a fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) speed and a large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
  • Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, DDR SDRAM) is a good start for power users, and it offers a faster than average RAM speed (333 MHz). It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion only 1 GB (2 x 512 MB).
  • CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. For DVD-RW discs, it has a 8x write/4x rewrite speed, while for DVD+RW discs it has a 8x write/4x rewrite speed (DVDs are read at 8x). For double-layer DVD+R, it has a 2.4x write speed. For CDs, it has a 24x write/10x rewrite/24x read speed.
  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. </ul> <b>Screen, Graphics and Sound</b>
    The VGN-FS550 features an integrated video/graphics card in the Intel 915GM chipset, which features 128 MB of dynamic video RAM (shared with the main RAM).

It also has an integrated audio card and built-in stereo speakers.

    <b>Connectivity and Expansion Slots</b>
    The VGN-FS550 has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks. You get a basic offering of connectivity options, including both USB 2.0 and i.Link (Firewire): <ul>

  • Memory Stick media slot, compatible with Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro </ul> It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

    <b>Preloaded System and Software</b>

It also comes loaded with a bevy of Sony multimedia software: Vaio Zone with WinDVD (for watching DVD movies), Click to DVD (DVD creation), PictureGear Studio (digital photo), SonicStage (digital music), Vaio Media (network file sharing), and DVgate Plus (digital video). Other preloaded software includes Quicken 2005 New User Edition, Microsoft Works 8.0 (with word processing, spreadsheet, and calendar), Norton Internet Security (with 90-day subscription), and SpySubtract.

    <b>Dimensions and Weight</b>
    Easily portable, the VGN-FS550 weighs 6.28 pounds with standard battery and measures 14.33 x 1.41 x 10.41 inches (WxHxD).

    - very short power cord

    3 out of 5 stars Sony FS550-.......2005-07-26

    This is a great computer, but you will have trouble when converting 8mm video Cassetes from Sony Camcorder with out the I.Link 4 pin to 4 pin. I had to buy Pinaccle Software and Accessories to hook the 3 pin connector from the Video Camera via USB port to my Laptop. Check the battery life which was like 1.5 hours whith the low resolution mode on.
    Sony does not advertise this product anymore and you will have trouble when you look for FS550 on the Sony Website!!.

    3 out of 5 stars Sony = the Bose of PCs!.......2005-04-05

    By which I mean that their products are very attractive-looking but also very overpriced, overhyped, and totally dependent saleswise on the huge (and expensively maintained) brand-name recognition.

    However to be fair, Sony unlike Bose does at least publish full specs on all of its computers, where Bose doesn't even tell you how many watts per channel its audio stuff is! And Sony isn't quite THAT bad for computers, just notoriously unreliable.

    My wife was given one of these computers at work and it has been constantly in the shop!

    I have worked in IT for over 20 years and the machines that we spend the most time repairing are Sony VAIOs and Compaqs/HPs.

    My advice is, if you're on a budget go with Dell and if you have more money to spend buy a Toshiba or IBM. Sony needs to concentrate on making TVs which it's still very good at!

    4 out of 5 stars Great machine overall, with a few quibbles.......2006-12-01

    I've had one of these for about 18 months and it's far superior to the top-of-the-line Toshiba that it replaced. That doesn't mean it's perfect (a few quibbles are listed below), but it's a VERY good desktop replacement. Particularly now that they're showing up as factory refurbed units or on the used market, it represents a great value.

    PROS: Gorgeous screen, relatively low heat during long bouts of use, good power management so you really can get 90-120 minutes out of it while on battery. The keyboard is also very robust (I'm a "hard typer" and typically wear through keyboards in a year - this one's never needed any work) and the Sony warranty is a good one (I fried a motherboard two months into owning it - replacement was quick and easy.)

    CONS: Like seemingly all Vaios, it feels a little fragile - lots of plastic. In fact, I've got big white wear marks on the area to the left and right of the touchpad where constant use has worn off the silver paint. (Having said that, I have to also add that, other than the aforementioned cosmetic damage, I've never actually broken the thing, and that's with 12+ hours of use a day, every day, and near-constant travel.) I'm also not a big fan of the bundled software, but that's a minor gripe.

    2 out of 5 stars U b the judge.......2006-08-31

    My son bought this computerin July 05. had the motherboard and hard drive replaced this past April 06. Now the Display has gone out (out of warrenty) and the tech told him it can not take the heat. Otherwise ok I guess.

    5 out of 5 stars Great laptop if you're willing to spend the money........2005-04-18

    I was planning on picking up a laptop at the end of 2004 or early in 2005, but learned about Intel's new mobile chips that feature more cache. So I waited and picked this up from Sony, which has the Intel M 750 at 1.86 Ghz and 2MB of cache. It also has Intel's 915PM chipset, which is Intel's better chipset for mobile applications. It has a great screen and plenty of power and memory.

    I also like the fact it has a new 128mb video chip from ATI (X600) that supports PCI Express. This laptop has 1GB of memory, which I would recommend since 512MB is barely enough today. The hard drive also has plenty of space at 100GB and seems to be fast enough running at 5,400 rpm with SATA interface.

    The Sony software for audio and video and editing seems pretty good and I haven't had any problems so far. One thing, I have Office Professional, so I deleted the lame 60-day Office trial package that came with the computer before I could fully access all the programs in my Pro suite.

    One of the big selling points of the computer is its excellent 17" wide screen. Out of the box, it looks very good and I haven't even tried to optimize it yet. I'm thinking that the ErgoBright technology, while good for certain areas since it automatically adjusts brightness, compromises maximum picture quality. This feature could be defeated. Generally speaking, these types of auto adjustment features are best left inactive when viewing movies. I find this to be the case with widescreen TVs also. The docking station and speakers are also a plus. Sound from the speakers built into the laptop is only average. I haven't tried headphones yet or the speakers that come with the docking station and I can't yet vouch for the quality of the laptop's internal sound. However, I might pick up an Echo Indigo IO audio pc card. Laptop sound quality is generally average at best, and this add-on card could be a nice upgrade.

    This computer is also very quiet, relatively speaking, which is very important to me since I don't like noisy computers. Overall, it is a well thought out design and Sony definitely didn't skimp on the components.

    <strong>The Basics</strong></p> <ul>

  • <em>Hard Drive:</em> The 80 GB Ultra ATA hard drive (4200 RPM) is one of the larger sizes you'll find in a notebook, and it's befitting of such an entertainment-centric PC. It offers more than enough capacity for storing documents and productivity software for road warriors. You'll also be able to store a good-sized digital audio library.

    </li>

  • <em>Processor:</em> The Intel Celeron M processor is designed specifically for mobile computing, offering a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology, good mobile performance, and exceptional value. It features a Deep Sleep state, which helps enable longer battery life by minimizing the power consumption of the processor during brief periods of inactivity. The 1.7 GHz speed is near the top of the speed spectrum for this processor (as of winter, 2004), and is on par with a 2.5 GHz Pentium 4-M. It also offers a 400 MHz front-side bus (FSB) speed and a large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)</li> </ul></td> <td height="200" colspan="2" align="center" valign="middle" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">

    Electronics music to be both relaxing and powerful. Along with Reiki, the music is great for crystal healing. With crystals, the music is very effective in removing blockages and distortions from the energy fields. But you don't have to practice Reiki to enjoy this cd. It's great for relaxation and meditation. The music contains gentle bells, chimes, crystals, keyboard, and nature sounds. It's also a great cd to fall asleep to. I give it a 5 star rating!
