Interact PowerPak EX Rechargeable Battery (GBA): Big Bulky Battery

Sun, 1 Jul 2001 19:07:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - It’s easy to spend a small fortune on batteries for your Gameboy Advance. After all, many of these very addictive game cartridges take up to 100 hours to complete! What the serious Gameboy Advance player needs is a rechargeable battery pack.

Nostalgia Isn't What it Used to be!

Mon, 28 May 2001 00:48:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - A few years ago, a Johnny Rocket’s opened up in a nearby mall. I went with some family members for a night that definitely felt like a step “back to the future.”

Since the restaurant had just opened, the employees were still eager and...

MemPlug Module: My Visor Has More Memory Than I Do!

Sun, 27 May 2001 19:54:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - When I bought my Handspring Visor Deluxe, eight megs of memory seemed like a lot. However, I didn’t realize all the great stuff I would want to put on it. There are so many databases, maps, eBooks, and don’t forget all those web pages you can download...

Symantec Norton Internet Security 2000: Practice Safe Hex

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 15:38:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I’ve heard it said that the safest computer is turned off, unplugged, and locked in the closet; it’s also the least useful.

So if you’re going to use a computer at all, it’s wise to take the most practical steps to protect it. One such...

Logitech Camera Family: QuickCam Express Like in American Pie!

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 00:51:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I first considered getting a web camera four or five years ago. Back then the standard was black and white with a parallel port connector for about $100. I decided against getting one simply because my friends didn’t have web cameras.

Now,...

Zio! SmartMedia Card Reader/Writer

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 20:39:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - SmartMedia cards are those ultra-thin memory cards used in handheld devices like MP3 players, PDA’s, and digital cameras. My own digital camera, a Ricoh RDC 4200, uses these cards. However, to get the pictures from the SmartMedia card to the PC requires...

Audiovox CDM9000: It Works For Me!

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 00:55:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I remember my first mobile phone. It weighed a couple of pounds, was about as big as a small briefcase, and you needed a shoulder strap to lug it around. Now that I think about it, you can hardly call that mobile!

The Audiovox CDM 9000 is...

Wristband Thincom Modem: Thin Is In

Sun, 21 Jan 2001 18:43:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I've had my Handspring Visor Deluxe for a year now, and I've been anxious to go online with it. However, I didn't jump at the chance to buy the first Handspring modem that was available; I wanted to wait until there were a couple of choices to compare...

I'm A Pokemon Convert!

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 18:26:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I admit I used to hate Pokemon and the whole Pokemon craze. I didn't see any value or purpose in these funny little creatures all over the stores.

But then I played two Gameboy games: Azure Dreams and Dragon Warrior Monsters. I enjoyed both of...

Mad Catz Game Boy to PC Camera Link: Yes, You Can Put Those Pics On Your PC Now!

Sat, 29 Jul 2000 19:37:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - If you have a Gameboy camera, you've probably had to make the difficult decision of which pictures to delete when you reach your limit of 30. Or maybe you've taken such a great picture you'd like to put it on your web page or e-mail it to your friends...

Lights Up My Life

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 00:50:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I love my Nintendo Game Boy Color, but it has one serious design flaw: the screen is not illuminated. You certainly can't play your games in the dark, and even playing in a dimly lit room is difficult. You need to be under BRIGHT light to see the...

Nintendo Game Boy Printer Paper: More Than You'll Ever Need

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 00:18:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - There really isn't much to say about Game Boy Printer paper. It comes in packs of three rolls: one white, one yellow, and one pale blue. The box says each roll can print about 180 pictures. I certainly haven't counted, but that sounds about right. I've...

Fun For A Few Hours

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 00:35:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I was curious about this little Game Boy printer, and I love gadgets, so when I saw this item on sale for only $12.95 at Buy.com, I couldn't resist. Although this printer has been fun to play with, I'm glad I didn't spend the full price on it.

Couldn't Be Easier

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 00:21:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - One of the reasons why I bought my Handspring Visor was the expansion slot for plugging in "springboard modules." The idea behind the springboard is to make the Visor expandable by plugging in hardware that adds new functionality to your...

eLemon!

Sun, 28 May 2000 01:25:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I was laid up in bed for quite some time earlier this year, and I decided a notebook computer would help me get some work done, plus allow me to surf the web to pass some time. I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I only really needed to use it...

A Farming Game?

Sat, 27 May 2000 15:38:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I never thought I'd like a game about farming!

In Harvest Moon for the Game Boy Color, you inherit a farm and you must make it profitable. Since the farm has been neglected, the first thing you must do is clean up the weeds, rocks, and stumps...

Would Be More Fun If I Could Shoot Them

Sat, 27 May 2000 00:08:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - If you were REALLY REALLY into the Tamagotchi keychains, then you MIGHT like this Game Boy game.

If you never even touched one of those fad Tamagotchi keychains, you probably have an idea what they're all about anyway. You can raise an...

A Good Version of the Popular Board Game

Fri, 26 May 2000 23:31:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - Game Boy Monopoly by Majesco is a very good adaption of the popular board game.

The graphics are good. The game board and playing pieces look just like the real thing. The "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards are exactly...

One Of My Favorites

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 17:40:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - If you prefer games where you run, jump, and shoot stuff, then you will not like Hexcite. However if you like a real challenging brain exercise, then this is the game for you.

The game can be played by one human player against the computer, or...

Stop! Put that box back! Don't buy it!

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 18:30:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I've always enjoyed racing games on the Nintendo 64, so I thought why not try a racing game on my Nintendo Gameboy Color? And certainly a game with the Nascar name must be good, right? Wrong!

Let's get to the biggest disappointment first: only...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: Review From a $30 Address Book Graduate

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 17:28:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I’ve been using my Handspring Visor Deluxe since December 1999. Before buying this gadget, I used an older electronic organizer/address book. The Visor is a huge improvement! The included applications, the expandability, the generous amount of memory,...

Alladvantage: At Least It Pays My Internet Bill

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 16:57:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - As most of you probably know by now, @ll@dvantage.com pays people to surf the web. All you have to do is load their little "viewbar" software on your system. The viewbar flashes ads at you while you surf the web. Currently @ll@dvantage.com pays...

Lots of Features but Not Simple

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 04:51:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - I bought the RDC-4200 because it had all the features I wanted for the right price. However, this is no simple camera.

The features that attracted me to this camera were 1280x960 resolution, 3x optical zoom, 6x digital zoom, 190 degree...

Electric Wheelchair Users Avoid SWA

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 03:02:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KristenA - Sure they are affordable. Sure their attendants are "nice." But if you use an electric wheelchair, Southwest Airlines obviously doesn't want your business.

Electric wheelchair and scooter batteries are usually inspected and then...
