solid cordless mouse

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 16:39:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Saw this mouse at Staples at a special sale price of $19.95; I had good experiences with their high end MX700, so I figured, what the hey, let's give the budget version a shot. I tested this on both a Toshiba Satellite laptop and a PowerMac G4, with...

Good webcam

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 19:57:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Comes in a groovy multicompartmental box; Apple is king of product packaging, especially when it comes to making the most of little space. First off: this is Mac specific for now. It's possible that Apple might write PC drivers for it, but I wouldn't...

Pioneer DVR-A06 / DVR-106 Internal Dual DVD?±RW/CD-RW (int-dvr106) Burner: Good Solid DVD burner

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 19:21:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Pioneer makes good solid hardware; it's no wonder Apple chose it as one of their OEM manufacturers. BTW, I'm reviewing this on a Mac, if you have a PC, just hum through the Mac-specific parts. On opening the box, I found the usual- software from...

An okay, basic pad

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 18:53:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Picked this up at Circuit City for $14.99.. It's kind of light, and its USB cable is thin, but I like that as it allows for more freedom of movement. If you have a first generation Playstation controller, it's pretty much a clone of that. Reviewing...

Apple Power Macintosh G4 Multimedia: PowerMac G4/533- the Next Generation!

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 18:34:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Just like a review for Maybelline Great Lash begins: "for some reason I couldn't find a separate topic.." Since Epinions hasn't made a new category for the new MacWorld 2001 PowerMacs (hint hint, wink, nudge) it may as well go in here.

The Cube arrives!

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 14:16:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Be advised, I'm an old Mac hack from the Apple II days. I'm not going to throw any marketing doublespeak at you or wax nostalgic. No, I'm not ragging on any other epinions. This is the opinion of someone whose heart still bleeds in six primary colors,...

PlexWriter 12X/4X/32X: Fabulous CD Burner!

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 17:00:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - The Plextor PlexWriter 12/4/32 is a great little combo CD/CD burner. It will burn CD-R's at 12X, CD-RW's at 4X, and read disks at 32X. This review is based on the external SCSI version.

The drive comes with primarily PC disks and utilities,...

Casio QV-120 Digital Camera: You can do a lot better!

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 19:05:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - When I bought this camera almost two years ago, it was considered state of the art.. and to be frank, it seemed that way until recently..

The QV-120 has no zoom features, a passable macro feature (macro allows you to take closeup shots of...

Macally iMediaKey: Nifty keyboard

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 12:15:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - Let's face facts- Apple's default keyboard for both the G4 and the Imac are at best, mediocre. Many people want a nice, fullsize keyboard when they type. The iMedia delivers.

The layout is pretty much Apple standard, and the USB ports on...

Don't take your stroller!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 14:02:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author PeteChin88 - My father-in-law died recently, and I had to take my family out to Anchorage, AL to attend his funeral. Because my kids were nine months and 3 years old at the time, I had to bring our Maclaren double stroller. Their policy was that we had to check the...
