Big and Crisp

Sat, 29 Apr 2000 04:29:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - One of the best things you can ever do for yourself, if you're going to spend time at a computer, is get yourself a decent monitor to look at. Eye strain can be a serious problem. Just think how much of your day depends on it, even when you're not at the...

Handy keys and a soft touch

Sat, 29 Apr 2000 04:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - When I finally learn to type (some day) I'll be able to look back at the MS Internet Keyboard and thank it for all it's support. I've got some lazy fingers. I've never taken a typing class. And I have to look at the keys to find 1/2 of them.

Dual Monitor the easy way

Sat, 29 Apr 2000 03:42:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - Well, Matrox is and has been one of the best video card manufacturers for a long time. With the G400 and the G400Max, they've created a new niche. Not the dual head niche, that's been around for a long time from manufacturers like Appian. But the...

Going Dually

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 17:31:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - Okay, I wanted to build a custom system with Dual CPUs to take advantage of some products from AutoDesk that were SMP enhanced. Second, I didn't have a fortune to spend. And finally, I wanted it to be simple.

This Motherboard allows for all those...

Stealthy value performance

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - When you purchase budget items, you can almost always count on having to spend more money later. What kind of savings does that really get you? None!

I wanted a new graphics card, with some of the newer features, without spending a fortune. The...

The Economy of Quality

Tue, 14 Dec 1999 16:05:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - Having spent gobs of money on a Laser printer and being stuck in B&W was tough. The bulk of my printing was text based, so it was great to have the high quality of the laser printer. But, how I cried when I thought about all the pictures, cards,...

Sun, 17 Oct 1999 19:24:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - After much delay, I finally got around to getting a tablet to enhance the graphical design work that I do. I spend about 55 hours a week doing Architectural design and another 15 to 20 hours "playing" with graphics. I’ve seen some nice tablets...

The Ideal Tool

Sat, 16 Oct 1999 13:47:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - There are about a thousand things I want for my computer systems that I have networked at home. Every day I think that "that" is what I need. The "that" usually has something to do with a product that makes my life easier. Once I got...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - Although I don't want to sound like I disagree with jenw's review "My Right Hand," I did want to add a bit to it. I agree that HomeSite 4.0 has some really nice features. The color coding and easy manipulation helps out very much...

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 13:38:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - As an Architectural Designer and Construction Administrator for the NCDOT, I have come to find the Kodak DC265 Zoom a must have tool. We previously had to always drop off and pick up film, which of course was an annoyance. But the worst part was that we...

Hot is right!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Techru - Back in 1996, I wanted to start creating some web sites for fun and just to start learning. I was in college, so I was broke! When I went to the local computer store, they didn't even have any software for HTML Authoring. Therefore, I had to go to the...
