Motorola V60c: Glad I made the impulse buy

Sat, 4 Aug 2001 20:01:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Just put up a 6 month update to the review

Summary: Great phone. Full featured and it looks great. Small footprint but easy to hold and the buttons are surprisingly big. Uses the new Motorola interface which is light years better than the...

Rona-meister. Rona-Rooni. Taking pictures.

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 16:03:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Summary – I like the camera a lot. It is very small, takes good quality photos, perfect for vacations and general snapshot work. The downside is that it has a very limited zoom and the memory card that comes with the camera is so small (8 megs) as to...

Take it from someone who lived there

Sat, 9 Jun 2001 23:09:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Quick Summary: The hotel is a more than adequate Midtown home away from home, but lacks the finish of either the Palace or St. Regis. I you can get a reservation, I would stay at the Palace or Westin for roughly the same cost.

Good little PC

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 16:50:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - I have had the Armada for about 6 months now and feel like I can give it a fair shake. It is a company machine, so I did not have to pay for any of the peripherals. I have the floppy drive and have used a USB CD without any problems.

Samsung SCH 8500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: Compact, good reception, rugged, but some issues

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 13:16:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Summary: Good phone, rugged, good reception, voice dial feature is not really good unless you are in a quiet environment. PIM is to hard to use. Receives both digital and analog. Currently very popular and hard to find. A very good choice [Last updated...

No reason to look elsewhere

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 15:55:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - The quick view, I really like it. A lot. Can't go wrong and worth the money. Ergonomics are really good and the keyboard has good features, such as USB connectors.

OK, now for the long form. My old Natural was showing its age. The space...

One of my faves, but should not be the first Heinlein book you read.

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 18:28:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - If you have never read Heinlein, I would try his books in this order: The Moon is a harsh mistress, Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers (the movie really did not do it justice), Methuselah's Children, Time Enough for Love, and Number of the...

Saved my wrists but not perfect

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 20:39:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - If you have carpal tunnel and not much cash, this keyboard is a good bet. I started using the Microsoft Natural keyboard when my wrists started hurting five years ago. Best thing for me. Granted, I also changed my workspace around, but the keyboard is...

Worth the read. Good science, so so story

Sun, 26 Sep 1999 21:16:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Summary: Good, but Snow Crash is somewhat better. Enjoyable, though. Worth the read to see what kind of cool nano tricks Stephenson comes up with. If I had to put together a must read sci-fi list, this book would be on it.

The buzz...

Poor Man's BMW

Sun, 26 Sep 1999 16:57:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - First thing. Before you go buy a car, go to www.personallogic.com and go though the automobile decision maker. I used to study decision making and found that this site had the most helpful tool for helping me make a decision about a car. In fact, it...

Weak ending to a great series

Sun, 26 Sep 1999 16:29:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author KenRona - Look elsewhere.

The book is tying up all of these loose ends that have developed in this rich world Mr. Simmons has created. The first three books should be required reading for anyone putting together a detailed sci-fi world. Groovy. I was...
