    Reason #84 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Let me tell you a story about a man named Mike. Overwhelmed by components, can't believe marketing claims. And then one day while surfing on the net, up came a page with an interesting claim... Knowledge that is. Reference material. Widescreen Review. Well, the first thing you know old Mike's signed up. Getting monthly coverage and in-depth reviews.
