Location: Sydney, Australia | One of the features that Ovation guitars have is a "feel good" factor. When playing one (or just owning it) you identify with the product.
What other products do people feel this way about? For me it is Apple Mac: I get a smug, superior type feeling knowing I am better than all the Windows sheep out there. (Sorry guys but it's true).
What products do it for you? | |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Not #1 on my list, but echoing the opening post - Apple Macs, but I'm not the 'evangelist' I used to be. If someone wants to know why I use one I'll tell them. Otherwise I avoid the argument and just say nothing with the same smug knowing grin that Richard has.
#2 FirstDirect Bank in the UK - best banking service in the world. The ONLY thing I miss about England, other than its proximity to France.
#3 Ovations - Playing an 'O' goes hand in hand with using a Mac really.
#4 My Subaru Liberty (Legacy) - 'nuff said.
There IS something else... but I've just had a brainfreeze. | |

Location: Utah | Sig Sauer firearms. Their motto is "To Hell and Back Reliability", and it is true. Handgun of choice for the Secret Service and the Navy SEALs. I also own a K98 rifle manufactured by Sauer & Sohn in Germany in 1943. A damn fine piece of engineering and workmanship that was standard issue to the German army in WWII. I can hit a two-torso sized target at 1000 yds, with open sights.
A Swiss K-31 rifle also from 1943. Like a fine Swiss watch, but louder. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that a Swiss infantryman sat up in the artillery HQ in the mountains keeping the Nazis from sweeping through Switzerland and using it as a invasion and supply route. It is at least as accurate as the K98.
Lee roloading presses, to make ammunition for the above mentioned guns. Costs less, works great, makes ammunition as good as or better than any other brand. Kinda like a good Ovation, the brand gets no love from various snobs, but the proof is in the results.
Apple Mac. 'nuf said there already.
Dunkin' Donuts brand ground coffee. Even though we can't get good donuts out here, at least we can have a great cup of coffee. | |

My 08 Mazda 3 wagon. Looked at the comparable Audi's and couldn't see spending 10k more. This car was built for me. I'll have it at least 10 years.
My iPod nano. Took me a long time to come around and get one. Then I got an iTouch. It was recently stolen and I got an iPod. Suits me much more and carries all my music with room for more. | |

1) My Ovation. Everytime a guitar-playing friend comes over to play, and I put it in their hands, they gush about it.
2) I agree with the Dunkin Donuts coffee. We were using Illy Cafe (too expensive), and the Dunkin Donuts is at least as good, IMHO.
3) My kids. They bring so much joy to my life. Indescribable... | |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I kindof like all my things equally, but I guess certain items I do appreciate the feel, a bit more than others.
- My Neal Moser Bich and Genesys guitars.
- My Ovation's
- Moto Guzzi Motorcycles, in general, just fit me.
- Gotta agree on SIG-Sauer handguns.. Just sold one and can't wait to get it's replacement. Not a big "gun nut" as they say, but quality engineering is quality engineering.
- Wish I could get on the MAC bandwagon. I've been working with computers professionally for 30+ years. Programming, Using, designing, repairing... Everytime I try to drink the coolaide... I end up spitting it out.
I guess it's appropriate I put MAC's on my "NOT" list... The theme for me is I am and always will be a Connecticut Yankee. Even in keep tradition of the early days, I migrated to the Pacific Northwest.
A Connecticut Yankee appreciates fine engineering, taking what already works, and making it better, with a focus on bang-for-buck.
Are most MAC's built better than most PC's. Sure... $2000 better... sorry.. no.
I feel the same about lets say a basic PRS or a Basic Hamer. There are some nice things on a PRS... But they aren't $$$$$$'s nicer, and could in fact have those "extra's" put on a Hamer for still less.
I like Carvin, Hamer and Ovation guitars for the same reason. The OFC Adamas, and the package that came with it... I actually felt like I got a good deal... almost a bargain. Truly "bang for buck".
So I guess that's what does it for me. Show me something with lots of "bang for the $" and built well... and I'll probably be a fan. | |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I just bought a VW diesel for my daughter. I hope she's as proud to own it as VW and the dealer were.
The products I may be most proud of are gifts. I have some Sears binoculars that I rarely use, but really love them because my Mom gave them to me. That was an unusual gift, because she always gave me clothes that suited her tastes rather than mine.
A more recent gift is a Clickgear golf cart that SWMBO got me for my 55th birthday. Like the binoculars, it was probably an accident that she got me something that is really cool and suits me perfectly (it fits in the front trunk of the Boxster) and I enjoy showing it off. It even made my crappy golf seem better for awhile. | |

You've all probably seen on the news that we're having a blizzard right now. But once again, Hot Springs hasn't had even one flake. Rapid City, fifty miles to the north is snowed under. Chadron Nebraska, fifty miles to the south is the same. Pine Ridge fifty miles to the east has TWENTY FOOT drifts, and Gillette Wyoming to our west is shut down completely. Here, it is a little chilly, but we don't even have any wind. I LOVE this town!!!
OK, Products: My black Legend, My Morgan Monroe Bean Blossom Gettysburg, My Deering banjo, my '96 Chevy Blazer. (When I was moving out here I got impatient. I drove from Chicago to Hot Springs in one shot, stopping only to get gas, use the restroom and grab a convienience store sandwich that I ate while driving. 16 hours in one day, and my butt never got sore!), also my Gibson...washer/dryer stack. As far as computers go, I WISH I still had a Mac. I may have mentioned before that I used to, but when it got so old it didn't work anymore, someone gave me a PC. I hate it, but you can't beat the price! | |

DD's used to use Costa Rican beans for the coffee in the resturants...the kind you buy in the markets today is a blend...not nearly as good...
Starbucks used to carry Coata Rican Tarrazu: the best...but they stopped about a year ago (you can find it ground sometimes in larger markets)..
I buy mine direct from Costa Rica...excellent quality and if you stock up, the shipping is fair...
The best brands from Costa Rica are: Tarrazu Montecielo Cafe Grano Entero,(my personal favorite...it's fabulous!) and also Cerro del Fuego Organic Shade Grown Coffee: Tarrazu...
Stay away from Rex...it's not nearly as good.
If you love coffee, it's worth the extra effort and expense... | |

They are a COFFEE SHOP, and they have the worst coffee in town! They just don't seem to know what they are doing. The first time I ordered a French press coffee, the girl put EIGHT scoops in a two cup press, poured in the boiling water and pushed the plunger immediately. I couldn't even drink it. Now I ask if I can make it myself, but it's still lousey. I mean French press coffee is so GOOD, but they can't roast the beans the right way so theirs is terrible. I finally gave up and just drink smoothies there now. It's still a great place for live music. | |

As for coffee, well, I don't know how to break the news to all y'all, but, I'd much prefer a good strong cup of Red Rose tea any day--one sugar, lots of milk.
...and add to the list "Thomas' English Muffins," with butter and raspberry jam (to accompany said cup of tea.)
