Great Mobile Choice

Fri, 22 Mar 2002 23:27:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I do a fair amount of work with Pocket PC devices, and have grown to like the HP Jornada 56x series immensely. HP has made great strides in their mobile offerings over the last few years, almost catching up with Compaq. There are still a couple of...

Compaq P 1210 22 in. CRT Conventional Monitor: See What You've Been Missing

Fri, 22 Mar 2002 22:05:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Monitors are one of those things that people tend to neglect when building or purchasing a new PC. They'll spend loads of money on a whopper of a video card, then squeeze themselves into some cheap 17" monitor that is about as sharp as a cracked...

Gateway Solo 9300cx: The hardware is nice. Support? Well....

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 02:28:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Gateway is one of those names that people either hate or love. I've found that there is little middle ground. My review of the Solo 9300 will explain a little of each - hate and love - that I've experienced in the first week of owning this system.

Very pleased with the upgrade!

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 01:26:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I had a nice work-horse HP DeskJet 812C printer that was decent, but lacked in a few areas of which I was finding myself in more need. I've been working on family tree projects and have some really nice pictures scanned and wanted to be able to print...

External is the only way to go

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 18:53:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Being a computing professional, I often get asked a plethora of questions, one being what kind of modem to buy. I ALWAYS tell people to buy external modems. There are two benefits.

First, you can be sure you're not getting a Winmodem...

Unimpressed... even for free

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 21:36:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - My girlfriend got this for me for free online and I can safely say I'm relieved I didn't pay for this thing.

The cheap overall feel of the unit was the first thing I noticed out of the box and the fact that it only comes with 32MB of storage...

I'm hooked!

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 19:13:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I've admired the STS for quite a while now, and finally bought one. Everyone makes their point about the handling of this heavy front-wheel drive car, but being that I travel a good bit and live in Iowa, this is about the only luxury car I'd own now.

Long time user

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 19:01:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I've been using EWallet since the 1.0 days and can't live without it. I've got the same information available to my on my desktop, or on my CE Handheld.

I don't typically take my planner with me to consulting jobs or doctors offices anymore...

Expensive Cat Toy

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 18:47:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Having 4 cats has left us in a bit of a quandry about what to do to help keep litterboxes clean and such. We thought this would be the perfect solution, and it works as advertised, but the still "spread the wealth" when it comes to keeping the...

Bang for the Buck

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 18:28:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - While I'm not cheap, I do like quality for the price paid. I'm willing to pay for a better name simply because of reputation or past experience with a product line.

HP is no different. I simply won't buy anything but HP printers. They've...

Not Just for Cats...

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 18:21:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Ok... so you're probably wondering why the title, right? No, I don't eat it myself. Not only do the cats like to snack on it, but I feed it to my ferrets primarily. Ferrets require a high-protein diet, and this is about the best food I've found that they...

Love my iMac!

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 06:47:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Edited 8/5/2000

You just gotta love an all-in-one, grab-it-by-the-handle-and-go, fast (400MHz), quality Mac.

The iMacs didn't float my boat early on, but the DV/SE is the exception. This is the ONLY one I would buy, and I had to...

Is there such a thing as a Pizza Addiction?

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 06:38:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I'll admit it... I'm adicted! The Garlic-Chicken pizza is fantastic! They just opened a Papa Murphy's about 4 blocks from my house, so I've been frequenting the place of late.

The first time I got one of their Large pizza's, I couldn't believe...

3Dfx Voodoo3 3000: Has my vote too...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 06:28:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - The Voodoo3 3000 AGP seems to be the standard by which a lot of other cards are measured now. Sure, there are some that do better, but there are a LOT more that can't touch this card. For the price, the performance you get is as good or better than...

No Maytag guy in my house...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 04:17:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I've had this washer for about two years and it works very reliably and efficiently. For the most part, a washing machine is a washing machine, but there are differences. The apartment I lived in before I bought my house had 3 year-old Kenmore equipment,...

Not worth the price of admission

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 03:09:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Not a bad phone with above average 900MHz range and durability and battery life, but nobody can seem to hear me very well on the other end. I had to buy a seperate headset with a microphone volume cranked up in order to be heard clearly. The $179.99...

Excite At Home: If you have a choice, look elsewhere

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 02:56:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Don't patron @Home if you have a choice. I first had the service installed last September (1999) and experienced VERY frequent service outages through February 2000. Due to job requirements, I had to maintain a $20/month dialin ISP account on top of the...

Kensington Gravis Xterminator Dual Control (10511) Joystick: For the adventurous...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 02:39:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - This one isn't for the true hardcore gamer, but it does have some pretty cool features. It's really a cross between a gamepad and a joystick. The configurable profiling software opens up a whole slew of button combinations to do just about anything...

Overly Sensitive

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 02:31:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I am my dentists "problem child", having horribly sensitive teeth that he has to work with constantly. I'm not a wimp in the chair, mind you. I just have very sensitive teeth that need very precise adjustment in order to keep them happy.

One Smooth Rat

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 02:14:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - I've got 3 relatives hooked on this thing now too! This is a great mouse overall. The included software, as well as the quality of the hardware is superb. Virtually every function I care to have in a mouse is present in this one. From the tracking...

Opinions are like excuses...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 01:10:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Everyone does indeed have their own opinion about these speakers, and nothing burns me more than someone trying to compare the Klipsch "COMPUTER" speaker system to a home audio system. They are NOT meant to compare with a $5000 home audio...

Flagship Nokia

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 00:17:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - The Nokia 5100 series is one of the most widely used phone, and for good reason. Lots of gadgets and add-ons available, and the phone performs well. Depending on the service you're using, reception may vary, but if your service is of good quality, then...

Handhelds - The only way to go

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 00:02:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Do you have messy handwriting like me? I absolutely cannot STAND palm devices in any way shape or form. Having the additional screen real estate and a keyboard are essential.

The Compaq handhelds compare well with the HP Journada line, though...

lockergnome: Why Be Normal?

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 21:26:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - ... So asks Chris Pirillo, a.k.a. The Lockergnome. He brings a unique brand of humor to the techie world, making complex topics seem almost child-like. Whether you're an experienced professional geek or a Windows neophyte struggling to figure out how to...

Silicorn Savvy

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 05:52:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Furo - Mastering email publishing is like growing corn, to use an Iowa analogy. There are different kinds of each, different ways to “grow” them, various methods of determining the success of each and ways to produce hybrids to get better results. Making the...
