Mon, 27 Jan 2003 01:37:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - For sixteen months we have used Crucial's memory for the computer service center I work at. During this time, I've been most impressed with Crucial's quality. Compared to other pieces of RAM we've brought it, Crucial by far has had the lowest failure...

Can HP do anything right besides printers?

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 00:47:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - I picked up an HP Omnibook 900B off a bidding site for $999, refurbished. I've had a lot of mixed feelings about HP in my previous experiences. However, a P3 system for a grand sounded good to me, so I went ahead a purchased it.

The system I...

P3 Heaven

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - First of all, I should admit that I have always been an Intel fan. I've used Pentium 1 and 2 processors, never having a problem with them. I've always found them a reliable processor. AMD, which is the other main contender, has always given me problems...

Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32: Next time, looking for something better

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 19:24:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - The Plextor brand of CD-RWs came recommended to me from friends who own the brand. Based on their recommendation, I went with Plextor's latest 12/10/32 CD-RW. I didn't know much about the difference between CD-RWs at the time when I bought them. Most...

Where'd my batteries go?

Fri, 2 Mar 2001 00:17:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - All I can really ask is... where did my batteries go?!?!?!? I got the cordless wheel mouse for Christmas and batteries were included. The first battery I put in lasted 6 weeks. The second battery I put in lasted only 2 weeks! I hope this is only a fluke,...

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP: Everything I could ask for... a shame they went out of business :(

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 22:48:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Oh why, oh why, did they have to go out of business?!?!?!

My story is rather simple. I was using an old TNT2 PCI video card in my system, and I wanted to free up a PCI port and hook myself up with an AGP graphics card. I've heard good things...

Fantastic and in-depth

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Having enjoyed reading Machiavelli's "The Prince" while in high school, I've always been on the lookout for a similar book. At first glance, I never would have picked up Robert Greene and Joost Elffers more modern version, "The 48 Laws of...

Adequate Service

Sat, 28 Oct 2000 00:50:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - I recently did some bouncing around with some banks in the area, and my encounters led me to some brief stint with Standard Federal. A co-worker banked here and referred me to the branch on Jackson Road, in Ann Arbor where I set up an account.

A good card but has its dangers

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 11:40:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Best Buy is the only electronic store in the area for me that offers their own credit card, and I thought it would be a real advantage to have the benefits that their card offers so I could get some items that I always wanted. I applied for one a couple...

No Longer Free?!?!?

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Edited on 10/31:

Well after writing my glowing review below, everything was great for a month. Suddenly, things aren't so great anymore. While trying to sign on, I got the message that my username/password was not recognized. I found this...

There has to be something better out there...

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 20:01:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - With my Gravis GamePad Pro braking down earlier this year, I found myself looking for another gamepad to play my games on. I went to CompUSA and looked over the selection of controllers they offered. They had some high end controllers in the range of...

uBid Online Auction: Awful and disgraceful, never using again!

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 19:53:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Well, here's the deal. I'm in the market for a quality monitor at a good price for a friend as a birthday present. Instead of looking at local retail stores, I take a look at the internet for possible options. I decided to try uBid for a change and see...

Maybe the best electric shave?

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 14:14:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - Well, I could take only so much shaving with a razor, so I did some reading and thought I would test out Norelco's new electric razor. I had one of their razor's before, and it left me less then satisfied. But that was a few years ago, so I thought maybe...

Addictive as any out there!

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 20:07:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - One of my friends invited me to play an online RPG with her, and the first thing we had to decide on was whether to go with EverQuest or Asheron's Call. After almost two months now of satisfied playing, I have to say that I absolutely love the game. Why...

Sony SAT B50 Satellite TV Receiver: You gotta really love Sony to get this one...

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 19:57:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - A lot of people seem to go after Sony just for the brand name. Why they would do this with a DirecTV receiver I do not know. DirecTV is a great option for certain people. It's great for people who can't get cable, or who are paying outrageous fees for...

Why not a computer?

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 16:39:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - After spending plenty of time playing around with a WebTV display at where I work, I have to wonder why anyone in their right mind would want one of these boxes.The Good: The box itself is smaller than a computer so you don't have to pick up some kind of...

RCA DS2122RD Single LNB DIRECTV System: Impressive

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - I specifically bought this model for my Dad as a Christmas present, and so far I have no complaints about the system.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - I just found myself in the market for a new keyboard when a leak from the bathtub destroyed my old one. I picked up the Logitech wireless keyboard, and found that it meet most of my needs. The keyboard gives a smooth response to the fingers, and it...

Best Replay Value Around

Thu, 25 May 2000 23:15:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JKalmbach - With the reduced price ( now down to $20 ), Starsiege: Tribes has one of the best replay values around. With revolutionary internet play, no game is ever the same with new players in every match. While the game has been out for almost a 18 months now, I...
