Improving KDE Public Relations
There is a general consensus that the KDE project, despite its technical superiority among various desktop environments, has had a poor PR record, especially in North America. Now that the release has been delayed a week or so, let's take this opportunity on dot.kde.org to present and share ideas that will help the KDE PR and marketing efforts. Just to get us started, here's one idea which I mentioned to Mosfet:
I just looked at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming/gnome.png. (This is actually what reminded me of KDE's poor public relations and advertising record compared to the competition.) If KDE can be configured to
Look, now that KDE is totally (L)GPL compatible (ok, for some of us there was never a real
If this has already been discussed somewhere, then I missed it. Any way, given all of the work that has gone into KDE2, not to mention the great configurability that has been developed, it should be advertised LOUDLY and decisively immediately upon release (links to screenshots, etc). The excuse that "Well, uhh, I chose <insert name of competition here> because it looks cooler man" can and should be put to rest once and for all.
The above is meant to provoke ideas and general discussion about KDE PR. The release delay gives the PR team (who are they anyway?) an extra week to get things together. After all of the experience of the past, we have no excuse to not get it right this time. There may never be as crucial an advertising moment for KDE as with this KDE 2.0 release.
Thank goodness they dropped the KDE2 1.x idea, or we'd be in REAAAL trouble.

To show the KDE io_slaves, I suggest to prepare
And for developers, just tell that one
Konqueror as a web browser should of course have a dedicated paragraph, with all the features it includes. Perhaps, a detailed comparison to Mozilla would be interesting, especially since the rendering is faster than gecko. IRC, some kind of java support is disabled for security reasons. Perhaps it should be mentionned too.
Kde is criticized for not using Corba, so we should defintely have lot of examples ready to demonstrate DCOP and kpart. Simon Haussman once showed in response to an article what one can do with DCOP. This is the kind of thing that developers love and that will make them turn to kde. So have examples of that and of more powerful interactions ready for the developers to try.
Mention that one can embed an editor in kde with kpart. For the moment, there is only kwrite, but vim should be there one day (I'm working on it), and qfte too. This means that a user will be able to always edit with its favorite editor.
Mention that khtml is also an embedable componnent, that could even be replaced by gecko as Corel suggested.
Ok, I realised these are too much developers things.
User things are ... (thinking) ...
By Philippe at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
This is so true. Konqueror has to be the best browser for linux to date, yet no one knows about it. It's ok to hype a product if theres so much to hype about.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Uhm vinn,
I'm afraid that SMB browsing isn't as complete and functional as you would like it to be. It has quite some irritating bugs left, which are not very likely to be removed on a short notice, because the library (libsmb++) that is being used for the smb functionality isn't really updated anymore (the author has no internet access for quite a while now, and isn't on a smb network anymore).
So unless you tell me all smb slave problems have been fixed, I suggest not to go shouting around that smb browsing is fully functional...

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I'm a professional writer and I've done a fair bit of computer journalism in my time. I'm also sympathetic to linux and KDE in particular. It's fun and konqueror is really very impressive. almost my favourite browser on any platform.
But the rest is nothing like ready for the consumer market, especially Koffice. The first thing missing is interoperability. Like it or not, MS Office is the world's standard. If your applications can't read and write its formats they are about as much use as 1994 Mosaic would be on today's web: much less use than Lynx.
Beyond the lack of filters there are other problems. Kword, which is, for obvious reasons, what I have looked at most, lacks all sorts of elementary features for a professional word processor -- select/delete words, lines, or sentences, for one example. Macros, for another. The ability to transpose letters. A degree of configuration so that everything can be made to work in familiar ways when you change from something else.
Kspread doesn't seem to have a "find" function. This stuff is not even Beta. It's alpha software, as far as I can see. It is not going to persuade any serious user to change over. Don't boast about an office suite when it compares to MS office roughly as dos 3 compared to Unix.
One final thought. If you want to do something which would really make KDE stand out from the competition, get the help finished and consistent. The basic framework is all there and excellent but hardly any of it is complete and lots of the help files still start with a section on where to get hold of the software. If I hadn't got that far, I wouldn't be reading the help file, would I?

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
The other desktop enviroment seems to me less easy to use, and that is the bigger issue for non windozes. But for some reason KDE has no the "media" that the others have. May be they are better at that may be not, but I belive KDE2 will be a bigger player in the near future than KDE1 has been. Anyway PR are always a good investment unless it affect the real work.

I think KDE has need a little more PR, but not that much, we are ( or i'm ;_) ) not a American who always blow of the higest tree ;-)
I think KDE2 will make it anyway by its own, Ok little PR is OK, but not say things you cannot make true.
KDE1 was also a success, but most people used it but did not say they did !

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I agree that showing that you can look like the other dt is not the way to go. What will sell in America is the features that you will bring to the market. To be honest, even mentioning or begging comparison with the competition I take as petty, and sort of a pathetic, and bitter response. Lay out what they're getting in their package. Don't use the other guy as a (low) benchmark.
By matthew at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I agree that KDE has generally lacked good PR, but yet according to some surveys it is still the most populate user environment out there.
This clearly indicates that whether the competition has a better approach to PR or not - people like using KDE. It is this quiet confidence that attracted me to KDE in the first place.
However having said that, how do you attract future Linux users to KDE?
The KDE PR has to be at multiple levels and geared towards specific audiences.
** A PR effort is required to attract third party application developers to KDE. Applications, commercial or otherwise, are critical to the future viability of KDE.
** A PR effort is required to attract corporate/business users to KDE. A focus on productivity, ease-of-use and applications.
** A PR effort is required to attract "everyday" end users to KDE. Again ease-of-use and applications.
A focussed approach will allow KDE to effectively reach the right audience with the right message.
For example:
A PR effort based on technical superiority or politics ("we have a better component model that the competition...", "we have a superior theme engine...", "we are GPL compliant !", etc) will miss the point when you are trying to attract novice end-users to KDE. KDE must be made relevant to their day-to-day computing needs - "You can use KOffice to do...".
An overall PR strategy is required, but specific individuals or groups must be responsible for PR endeavors geared towards specific audiences.
Another area may be to relook the design of the KDE home page as it is generally the first contact that new users have with the KDE community.
Maybe the design should combine a more marketing orientated look-n-feel with the technical information that is currently available.

The main reason I prefer KDE
Although I enjoy KDE and Gnome nearly equally the same. Personally, I find the main reasons why I prefer KDE is it's sloppy focus.
In the KDE Control Center, under 'Window Behavior'/'Properties' I use 'Focus follows mouse' and 'Click Raise' as Focus policy.
I utilize this method regularly since I find it most efficient. Furthermore, I think that many who would use this feature might never want to have it any other way.

Re: The main reason I prefer KDE
Sawfish comes with this behavior by default. I personally don't like it but try out Sawfish for the first time and thats what you get. You also can get this feature from enlightenment ( and probably others that I havn't tried).
By Kevin Vandersloot at Thu, 2000/10/12 - 5:00am
Re: The main reason I prefer KDE
As others have noted, sawfish and E both have this behaviour available. I use WindowMaker, and it also does this, by default I think, but if not by selection, and does it well.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I think it is missing a daily or weekly summary/digest of the KDE world, including digests from the devel lists as well as application reviews, presentation of projects and announcements of releases. .kde is already fulfilling some of these items.
Regarding themes, why should I settle for an imitation when I can get the real thing? I've always preffered the(fast) non-intrusive themes to the baroque stuff. Simplicity, speed and productivity should be the major 'selling' points.
Just my personal contribution.
By JS at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
The weekly summary idea is actually in the works. Our plans are to provide a weekly summary of the kdenews.org news items, with some additional content thrown in (insightful user comments perhaps, extra development tidbits that don't belong on the main page, CVS stats, etc). Look for it soon!

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
My 2p on that:
seen that already:
the competition, reversely, knowing that they cannot compete on the technical side, pushed on Pr and marketing. they didnt talked to the technicians, they talked to their boss. oracle and Ms were targeting corporate heads, and the PR was targeted at them.
we all know what the result was for these two head-to-head.
but probably techies prefer doing nicer things than lying, lobbying, and managment talking...
we all know that corporate talks bs makes no sense, ... except for corporates...

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Something I hear a lot is 'kde looks just like windows'. I think shipping a couple of hardcore, over the top, purposefully pure eye candy themes would help out. I dont really see any in the 1.94 release (Even the marble ones look too useful, not enough hacker like :). Also, if SMB really works we should get the word out. And finally showcasing konqueror wouldn't hurt I dont think, but dont talk about the javascript...
I would showcase kword but it cant really compete with SO for importing word files.
By Spud at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
Personally, I don't see why a GNOME look and feel is a problem, nor do I understand how it's stooping to the competition. You're highlighting KDE2's configurability; what better way is there to illustrate this than to make it look almost exactly like another desktop? It's not like you're hard-coding the GNOME look into KDE2. It's an option, and a good one at that. If a user does not want it, he or she does not have to use it.
Add the GNOME libraries to the system, and there will be virtually no reason anyone could claim that KDE2 can't do for them what GNOME can.
(Note: I don't have any real biases either way with regard to KDE or GNOME. I'm just responding to the responders who say that making KDE2 look like GNOME -- even temporarilly -- is stooping. I strongly disagree.)
By Erik at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I find that the argument of: "I know KDE is more stable and has more features but I still think GNOME looks better!" is something that I hear extremely often!
I don't understand why they think so since GNOME looks awful to me but there you go. So because of this, I think it would not hurt KDE at all of we actually did show some thing like "You like that look? Oh, no prob, click here and here and here and presto! - but wait, there's more!".
It's not stooping in any way. At least I don't think it is. It's silencing silly comments before they even get a chance to start. After all, the other project has all it needs in terms of PR what with large commercial interests backing it - we don't need to let them win a simple battle we could not lose...right?
By Mukhsein at Wed, 2000/10/11 - 5:00am
Steering the debate
> After all, the other project has all it needs in > terms of PR what with large commercial
That's EXACTLY the point. Although many or most of us don't like the competition's look, by providing an optional compatible style we can actually steer the debate away from style issues to more substantive things. Let's remove this red herring once and for all. Yes, this is known already amongst all KDE developers but the word has to get down to the masses at large. The "look and feel straw man" is one of the last distractions put forward by many loud voices on the other side. Let us remove this distraction once and for all. It should not take much work. KDE has nothing at all to lose in this regard and everything to gain.
Let's not be reactionary; let's steer the debate!

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I completely agree! I am new to the whole linux thing and wanted to just spend (really not to much) some time on testing KDE or GNome. There is lots of talk which one is best, but if you are a newbie like me you really don't know whom to trust, so I decided more or less emotionally. The look of an desktop is then of great importance and if KDE can look whatever desktop you like, it is an advantage (one of many!)

Please! Put a warning before that screenshot link or something! I almost puked!
Gnome is so ugly, badly designed, and its icons are terrible! The new Gaim has taken on Gnomish icons, so I had to set my prefs to show text and not icons now, just because they're so ugly (and they're not intuitive at all, KDE's are).

Re: Nasty nasty nasty
This is all a matter of preference. I personally use Gnome for a lot of reasons, aesthetics being one of them. What I found interesting about the screenshot is that it didn't really look like Gnome. it had a few of the same icons, but that's about it. Sure you probably could make gnome look like that, but by default it looks rather different. But one thing I will agree with, the screenshot is ugly. :) I much prefer my Gnome setup...it's beautiful...

Re: Nasty nasty nasty

Oh well --- I put that icon-theme together in something like 15 minutes to test certain aspects of our icon-engine. So my major goal was not to "emulate" a perfect gnome. Still I'm sure that one could ask a gnome-coder to recreate konquerors widgets in gtk while using gtk's icons and themes. If one would do a screenshot of that and say it would demo KDE's themability people like you would still reply the same bullshit.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
I've thought of this before, and have meant to start an effort which in my mind would be called Kameleon, which would create packages to make KDE2 mimic other desktops through the use of icons, color schemes, widget themes, and kicker applets. With these things all being completely configurable, it's totally feasable to morph the default KDE desktop into an almost exact copy of any desktop I can think of. It would a great draw (IMHO) if KDE could easily be made to look like an enviroment that new users might already be familiar with (Windoze, MacOS), and I agree it would be great PR to say, "you like the competition's look? then fine, have it!"

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
the kde team creates software; gnome issues press releases on what it is getting ready to start doing about the process of beginning a new alliance that will ultimately look into the idea of creating software...
in example, kde now has a quite workable software suite...gnome has gnumeric...it did have abiword, but per stallman's recent interview, has abandoned that to whoever wants to continue playing with it...instead it now, or soon, will have star office, a klunky old dog that not even sun was able to turn into an attractive product...but putting the gnome footprint onto star office doesn't integrate it into gnome, that's a one to three year process...in short, at now, gnome has only vapor, promise, and press release for an office suite...
those who use computers will use kde...those who only talk about how good things are gonna be someday will continue talking about gnome...kinda like george, lenny, and the rabbits...

Hi there,
I DO agree with quite everything said in the article - I do hear a lot about Evolution-Pre-Beta-29,234 with 2 lines of changed code (just to name an example).
Another point, which has been already mentioned, that if you *can* give KDE2 quite every look you want, why don't you include some popular ones in the standard distro? If there's someone, who likes the gnome look (btw. I don't ;), give it to him. Also include some windoze-themes for some crazy guys, who like that style of computing.
KDE2 really *is* something very cool, so why don't promote it?
If someone want's to organize a PR-Team (or if the existing needs help) I am there for you.

Re: Improving KDE Public Relations
One big disadvantage KDE has on the PR front is the lack of a celebrity front man. Miguel de Icaza serves as the public face of Gnome, while KDE is a software collection that periodically emerges from somewhere in Germany. The result is that KDE is viewed as a faceless corporate product while Gnome is perceived as a project of the hacker community -- despite the fact that Gnome is much more driven by corporations (Red Hat, Sun, Eazel, Helix Code) than KDE is.
BSD suffers from a similar issue. Linux is viewed as the project of Linus and his hacker buddies even though it's vastly more corporate-driven than the BSDs.
One of the reasons I enjoy contributing to KDE is the complete lack of ego and empire building. It's unfortunate that it works to the project's disadvantage on the PR front.

Iguana's PR efforts are notoriously succesful. Without his lobbying efforts Gnome would have been dead by now.
The Big-Iron support he managed to get was a killer, and I dislike him for that... ;)
His machismo works wonderfully in the Californian sun, where the cool and eurocrat temper doesn't work.
If KDE doesn't have a self-proclaimed diva then that is too, too bad. It may be hard to swallow such personalities, but they are needed in the US, where competence and technological arguments don't sell.
The anti-hero Alan Cox is the closest Europe has come up with (apart from Linus), but he is allied with Gnome, so he is out of the question.
Perhaps Kalle Dalheimer? He is a talented guy, with a sense for style, and not too shy.
Kalle, will you be our poster guy?

gmc vs. kfm
IMHOP, gmc is far better. It doesn't segfault for me and I use it every day. Kfm is totally annoying, not only for wanting to be more than a file manager (displaying HTML inline is a bug not a feature so far as I am concerned - gmc will hand off the HTML to whatever browser you prefer) but also for the fact that it insists on being a "desktop manager" (my root window is NOT a "desktop" and I don't want it to be) and refuses to exit cleanly. Gmc at least will exit cleanly and not require an explicit kill. I'm told konquerer solves this problem at least - I'll see in a few days I expect, when the actual release version of KDE 2 comes out I'll be downloading it.

I finally sent off a big box of stuff this morning back up to Brooklyn for this weekend's festival. I took pictures of everything, but I also need some help. Having never done these shows before, she's not quite sure how to price everything. I know some of you out there are sometime craft show vendors (or, at least, shoppers!). Can you give me some ideas of what we can reasonably charge for some of this stuff? (Remember, this is NYC and everything's a little more expensive up there.)
First, some pillowcases:
Why am I only just now discovering the Chocolate Lollipop line? I love it!
The cut made the directional fabric difficult to work with, but I think it's still cute. Just stand on your head and you'll get the idea!
Hard to tell, but 30's reproduction kitty cats playing musical instruments on the left. Anna Griffin on the right.
Next, some quilted pillows. They will have pillow forms in them, but since the forms are up in NY, I didn't have any pillow forms to take the pictures.
First, some 20" x 20" pillows:
And I even learned how to do envelope backs!
Practicing my free motion quilting:
Made from some fat quarter bundles that my mom picked up at Purl Soho (her local shop, can you believe it?). I would never think to put these fabrics together, but they seem to work. Boy, they're good.
My first time using muslin (above). It was really soft and nice to work with, and I loved the natural color. I'll be using it again.
Here's a 14" by 14" pillow:
And, some smaller travel pillows (12" x 16"):
Here's a gender neutral baby quilt with an incredibly soft flannel back. In the interest of time, this one was "birthed" rather than assembled, and will be tied instead of quilted.
And finally, some last-minute customized Moleskine books with scraps from my stash. This idea is from the Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts book.

CNN Internet Rules :-)
(Todd Leopold @ CNN) Welcome to the Internet. It's a big place, so let me show you around. You're approaching Oversharing Pass, where residents routinely post too much information. The Facebook Gorge and Twitter Triangle are particularly nefarious time-sucks. Restraint is advised.
Up ahead is Hyperbole Junction, which is the Worst. Spot. Ever. We recommend that you maintain an even keel and stay to the center; the extreme left and right can be dangerous.
And over there is the infamous Lair of Sociopaths, the home of trolls and loners who mercilessly mock everyone who enters their territory. Watch your step: They may trip you up and you'll fall into the Chasm of Lulz.
Our world isn't all dangerous, of course. You may visit Squee City, where images of cute cats and laughing babies fill the landscape. You'll also meet countless kind strangers, hilarious raconteurs and hard-working fact-checkers. They make it all worthwhile.
Hmm. Maybe it would be easier if you had a guide -- you know, some rules to help you find your way.
What, you didn't know there are rules of the Internet?
Of course there are rules. How do you think we maintain order around here?
A parody of rules
That's a joke.
But there really are some rules of the Internet -- even if they, too, began as kind of a joke.
According to the site KnowYourMeme.com, the Rules began around 2006 as a guide for the Internet collective Anonymous and emerged on the old Encyclopedia Dramatica, a bawdy meme catalog. Soon a version emerged on 4chan, an online bulletin board where most users post anonymously, says Jamie Cohen, director of web/digital media at Hofstra University's School of Communication.
"Chris Poole (4chan's founder) kind of designed it, kind of like a Netiquette rules," he says, describing the unspoken code of conduct that lubricates Internet discourse. (Poole has attributed the rules to Gaia Online, a role-playing community.)
But the rules of the Internet deliberately mocked many of those conventions. The self-reflexive parody fit perfectly with its community's attitude, points out Anthony Rotolo, a professor at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies.
"These jokes are meant to comment on something happening in the world," he says. "Later they get accepted as truisms or become a meme."
The absurdity has been reflected even in the supposed number of rules. Though the best-known first version claimed there were 50 rules, only 18 were listed. Number 1 was initially "Do not talk about Rules 2-33"; no Rules 2-33 were on the list.
The sarcastic attitude was reinforced by the kicker found on Encyclopedia Dramatica. It was a parody of Wikipedia's stub language: "This article is crap. You can help by completely re-writing it."
'Fight Club' and Monty Python
Very quickly, the lists started multiplying and expanding, liberally borrowing from comedy, Web culture and math-science tropes. On one list, a few were designated by complex numbers and mathematical symbols. Some were observations; others were directives.
Two rules were taken from "Fight Club": "You do not talk about 4chan (or "/b/," 4chan's random, free-wheeling bulletin board) and "You DO NOT talk about 4chan." One version of Rule 6 stated "There is no Rule 6," which is from a Monty Python sketch. Rule 42, "Always bring a towel," was drawn from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. (If you have to ask, read the books.) "Profit," Rule 49, came from "South Park."
Other rules went the reverse direction and became part of mainstream culture. Rule 34 -- "If it exists, there is porn of it" -- is likely the most famous. But there's also "Pics or it didn't happen" (Rule 30), "For every given male character, there is a female version of that character; conversely for every given female character, there is a male version of that character" (Rule 63) and, of course, the corollary to Rule 34 -- "If no porn of it exists at the moment, it will be made" (Rule 35).
Most retained a sense of humor, riffing off established rules and occasionally ending with a giggly "No exceptions."
But a handful were, and remain, as serious as a judge -- notably the three directly about Anonymous (commonly Rules 3-5):
- We are Anonymous.
- We are legion.
- We do not forgive, we do not forget.
The overall Internet rules may have started as a joke, but such ominous language from Anonymous speaks to some of the paradoxes of the Web:
Rules? Why do we need some stinkin' rules?
After all, rules can be helpful -- or divisive. They can create community -- or subvert it.
Even Anonymous, the activist group itself, cuts both ways, says Rotolo. When it hacked the extremist Westboro Baptist Church, many people cheered. But when it goes after less unpopular targets, some cry vigilantism.
Cohen says that the rules themselves try to have it both ways. They're funny until someone gets hurt.
They "play more of a game type of role. They can be bent or broken or cheated or moved around, as you would in any game that has no physical reaction," he says. "That doesn't take into account ever the result of real people being affected by this -- such as teenagers, children, anybody who's seeing things that they shouldn't."
He adds, "There's a lot of rules in there that work for (the creators) more than anyone else. Until they become victims of their own thing, they don't know how powerful the rules are."
Evolving from the Wild West
Of course, the Internet isn't that old, and we're still in its Wild West era in many ways. As the technology evolves from a handful of hackers on Usenet bulletin boards to billions of users on officially sponsored sites, the customs -- the rules -- of the Web will evolve with it.
But we're not talking about the kinds of changes that your family makes to the rules of Monopoly (no, Free Parking is NOT for the pool of money acquired via Chance and Community Chest). We're talking something more expansive: All the established customs of our carbon-based life forms, making way for the instantaneous and virtual modes of silicon-based electronics.
Who knows what new rules may be written?
"When you're in the midst of social change, it's impossible to determine where it's going," says Peter S. Vogel, a former programmer who's now a Dallas-based attorney. "And I think we are in the greatest social change in the history of humans, because there are no boundaries of geography or time."
We haven't even sorted out what happens when the differences in local culture meet global technology. Bruce Umbaugh, a philosophy professor at Webster University in St. Louis who teaches a course on philosophy and technology, argues that not all parts of the world are as tolerant or open-minded as Western democracies.
Jamie Cohen, Hofstra University
"There are a lot of other places in the world that are actively using the technology of the Internet to control the free communication among citizens, and to identify critics of the government and hurt them," he says. "We need to be mindful in what we advocate from our perspective that the tools that are implemented on the Net are tools for the global Net."
In other words, citizens of other countries already face actual, enforceable rules -- unlike the folkways established by Web users in the West. Witness the frictions of the Arab Spring, or the restrictions of societies such as North Korea.
It's the kind of perspective that provides a different context for the issues raised by a libertarian, anything-goes Internet. It's hard enough to stop "Star Wars" comment boards from devolving into flamebaiting, meme-generating files of NSFW Yodas.
So for now, we're still making our way through the Series of Tubes, and nobody knows where the boundaries lie. We joke, we grimace and we marvel at the creativity of the hive mind. The Internet is a big place, and countless cultures have set up residence. Eventually, what is now humor may lose its zing; what are now customs may become laws.
Will the rules ever become The Rules? Maybe some future generation will figure out the true guideposts of Internet life, and the singularity will be upon us.
Nah. It'll never happen.

OH MY GOSH! I seriously just NEED the Robotics fabric! I am making twin quilts for my twin boys twin beds, and they just so happen to have a robots/outer space theme. This fabric would be perfect!

What fun! I love the collection called New Leaf + Solids Half Yard Bundle. The beautiful yellow purples and bright oranges look like something so out side of what I would do. But sure does have the wheels in my head going.

4 Forest Hills, MI Wrought Iron Workers
Without ironworkers and their structural know-how, many of the great buildings of the world would never have come to be. But most Forest Hills, MI homeowners are more likely to hire an ornamental or architectural wrought iron worker, who crafts metal pieces that are visible on the exterior. From window frames to grates and balconies, from screens and fences to hardware, these pros shape iron into forms that are as decorative as they are functional. More

9 Volt NiMh Rechargeable Batteries in 4 Packs
If you've made the decision to switch over from 9 Volt Alkaline batteries to 9 volt NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries, you've made a very value-based decision. Over the long run, and especially for today's many high-performance consumer electronic devices, 9 volt NiMH chemistry is by far, the leader.
Number 1 on the list of important battery facts to remember is to NEVER use 9 volt NiMH rechargeable batteries in your smoke detectors! They will self-discharge over time (and not a lot of time either!), resulting in dead batteries that will not alert you in case of smoke or fire! Only use non rechargeable batteries in your smoke detectors.
The capacity of 9 volt NiMH rechargeable batteries ranges between 200 to 325 mAh (milleampere hours). The higher the mAh rating for the battery, the longer the run-time the battery will give you on one full charge. One of the most common uses for 9 volt NiMH batteries today, is in wireless microphones. During Church services, at Conventions, University Lectures, Theater Productions and virtually everywhere that wireless microphones are used to address large audiences, 9 Volt NiMH rechargeable batteries are the popular choice.
The great benefit of the 9 volt NiMh battery is that it does not experience "memory effect", which NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) batteries can suffer from. This means that their memory cannot become reduced due to recharging them prior to power depletion. Even if they are not fully drained, they can be charged in a charger without concern the battery will "remember" what level of power the cell had remaining in it at the time of charging.
Another very popular component to NiMH technology is that it allows for up to 1000 charge times, These are called charge cycles. Depending on how often you use your 9 Volt NiMH's, they could last you years and years!
Rechargeable batteries need to be charged prior to their first use, in order to fully top them off. This is because since they are rechargeable, they do self discharge some of the power even when not in use and when you first get them, they won't be fully charged with power to the maximum level they were designed to hold. Always charge your rechargeable cells when you first get them.
We offer our 9 volt NiMH's in singles and in a variety of quantity packs. This page sells them in 4 Packs. Please visit our main 9 Volt NiMH Page to see our full quantity assortments as well the link to our low discharge version of them.
Please visit our 9 Volt NiMH Charger Section to select a good quality charger to go with these.
Visit our many impressive DAILY SPECIALS which, as the name implies, change DAILY! If you check them out regularly, you can stock up when you spot a deal on a type or size of battery you use frequently and benefit from the most value!
