Carson zOrb Digital Microscope-A Fun Gift For The Holidays!
Sunday, November 01, 2009
When it arrived, the girls couldn't wait to take it out of the box to give it a try. I will admit though, I was very curious as to how this gadget worked as well.
It was extremely easy to set up. I actually set it up on my netbook and eventhough I don't have a cd drive on it, I was able to download the software needed extremely easy! I would say from taking it out of the box and getting started with exploring took about 10 minutes max. This also counts the download time of the software.
The zOrb can be purchased in three great colors: Lava Orange, Safari Green and Surf Blue. It is reasonably priced and some sites did offer free shipping on the Carson zOrb!
WIN,WIN,WIN
Carson zOrb
MANDATORY:
Visit Carson Optical and come back here and tell me what other product you would like to try!
Thank you to everyone that took time to enter. The winner is:

I have a nephew that just joined the cub scouts who would love the Adventure Pak with the binoculars, flashlight and compass.
