A Photo Album You'll Never Lose
E05630 — WalletBe Croco-embossed Leather Wallet with Digital Photo Viewer

Whenever someone asks me about my daughter, Theresa, I suddenly realize I don't have any photos in my purse to show them! Imagine my excitement to see Today's Special Value from WalletBe! This amazing little wallet combines fantastic organization with a digital photo viewer — wow!

I was pleased to discover that it's REALLY easy to upload photos from your computer using the included USB cord. Now I can carry up to 60 photos with me at all times, so next time someone asks about Theresa I'll have a few pictures on hand to show off!

Of course, it's a wallet, too. You can organize your credit cards, store shopper cards, money, change, and pretty much everything you need with WalletBe's unique accordion system. It's a great size, the leather is fantastic, and — did you see the colors? Black, brown, ocean blue, pink, purple, teal, and red! As soon as I saw my favorite color (purple, for the record), I knew I had to have one. I can't wait to hear how YOU like it!

Happy Holidays!

Turning the Tables
Product Review: E195083 — Turntable with USB Output

Prior to joining QVC in 2002, I worked in the radio industry for over 18 years. Let's just say...I have A LOT of vinyl! Crates and crates of records dating back to when I started my first radio station at 14 years old. It was so much fun. I'd bring in a few of my favorite records, cue them up, and out they went on the airwaves! One of my favorite soundtrack albums was from the movie "Krush Groove" — anyone remember that?

When you think about all the incredible vinyl music that has been lovingly collected over many, many years by music lovers, it's sad that records and record players have become so rare.

So, as a tech- and music-junkie, as soon as I saw this Turntable with USB Output, I had to find out more.

Here's how it works: You can take all of your records and, while you give them a spin on the turntable, use the USB output to download them to your MP3 Player or to your computer. The included software will even let you enhance audio on records that might have a little "needle burn". You can even become DJ Mix Master (Fill In Your Name) and create cross-faded mixes of your favorite tracks! How cool is that?

Most importantly, this will help preserve our love for music. Remember how exciting it was to bring a new album home, take it out of its sleeve for the first time, and put it on the turntable? Oh, those were the days! Don't let your memories fade away — store them and enjoy them again with this amazing turntable innovation!

If you try it, I'd love to hear about your experience. Feel free to post about it right here on our Electronics Blog!

P.S. Now if only they had one for 8-Tracks... : ) I still have my Village People "Renaissance" 8-Track! It was when they went punk!

Electronics is a Girl’s World, Too
Hi, my name is Jacque — and I’m obsessed with computers and electronics! It's not just a guys’ world anymore!

I’m so excited to share my passion for technology with you! I hope we can create a place where all of you, no matter what your skill level or experience, can enjoy and appreciate this amazing and continually growing digital age.

• If you’re just getting started with computers and electronics, I want answer your questions and help you find exactly the right products for you.

• If you’re already familiar with computers and electronics, I want to show you items that are perfect for building on your experience and skills.

• If you’re really into computers and electronics (like me!), I want to be bring you the latest technology and give you a few sneak peeks at what's around the corner!

But first, I want to share a little background on my world. My love for everything electronic started when I was a little girl. I remember taking apart my transistor radio to see how it was made and how it worked…then I put it back together. It was fascinating! After taking apart that first radio, I started taking everything apart! I took apart cameras, tape recorders, my brand new Atari (when it first came out on the market), the cable box, and, of course, my Pong game unit!

In school, I was introduced to computers and learned how to create DOS programs. Right away, I was HOOKED! At the time, I had the Commodore 64 with a dot matrix printer. (Fun fact: our QVC studios were the original location where Commodore 64's were produced!)

Each and every year, technology grows by leaps and bounds. I try to get my hands on the latest consumer electronics as soon as they’re available — I can’t wait to try them out! I research, read reviews, and analyze how the latest items will impact and improve our lives.

What did we do before computers and cell phones? Think about how much those two items have changed our society! And think about how digital cameras have changed photography — remember when you had to spend lots of money on film and you never knew if you’d taken a good shot or not until it was developed? Now you can take, view, and even share high-quality photos on the go! But more on all that later.

All that to say, WELCOME! I can't wait to show you the latest and greatest technology from QVC!
