Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Ergonomic mouse falls a little short

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 18:04:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - Note: I have updated my preliminary review; see below.

As you may know from reading my other reviews, I suffer from RSI, due for the most part from typing. However, with all the effort I've gone through to try to type more ergonomically I...

Logitech Wheel Mouse for Notebooks: Once again, Logitech provides adequate mousing

Tue, 16 May 2000 18:41:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - In search of an external mouse to hook to a borrow laptop (the touchpad

was just killing my wrist and thumb), I picked up one of these for $25,

or something like that, at one of the big electronics chains. It worked

flawlessly on the...

'87 keeps running in style, barely

Tue, 16 May 2000 18:15:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - When my grandmother decided she had outgrown driving she gave me

her old car - a 1987 Nissan Maxima that she really hadn't driven

all that much. So I ended up with a 12 year old car with only 55

thousand miles on it. It was a great step up...

R55 needs more durability and battery life

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 13:36:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - About a year ago I decided I wanted a mobile recordable platform. As you

might know from my other reviews, I have RSI, and typing is often rather

painful, and I often want to jot down notes on the road. So I bought the

Sony MZ-R55 portable...

Wide variety makes New Mother stand out

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 14:45:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - As you may or may not know, there are no less than four excellent

Indian restaurants along a four-block stretch of Moody Street. As

I live in easy walking distance of all of them, and am a fan of a

good Indian dinner, I frequent all four...

IBM Via Voice 98 Home Edition: Millenium offers even better recognition

Fri, 18 Feb 2000 00:56:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - Over the past three or four years, I have managed to injure myself to the point where typing quickly becomes uncomfortable. However, as a Computer Science graduate student I just can't get away from computers. And so I've turned to voice recognition as...

Brandeis University: Aramark doing a fair job at Brandeis

Fri, 18 Feb 2000 00:31:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - I consider myself somewhat of a veteran of the food service wars. During my career as an undergraduate, I spent a lot of time pestering the food service people, getting involved in the menu committee and generally complaining when they screwed things...

K2 Ice Ascent Ice Skates: The most comfortable skates I've ever worn

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 19:23:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - Despite the lack of snow, it's still ice skating season, dammit. So I went

and bought myself a new pair of ice skates. I was pleasantly surprise that

there was a new option available among all the usual lace-up boot styles -

I always find...

Kinesis Ergonomics Contour Keyboard: Contour keyboard a lifesaver for people with RSI

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 16:26:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - From its stylish design (it's the keyboard used by K in "Men In Black", minus a paint job) to its easy feel, the Contour keyboard is a definite win for anyone concerned enough about their health to see that the ergo keyboards provided by Microsoft and...

Wireless. Palm OS. What more do you need?

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 22:36:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - First, let me tell you that this review only compares the VII with other

Palm/Visor models. If you don't already have a Pilot, go read the review

of the Palm III or V first, to get an idea of the object.

My Palm Professional died a...

GalaxyQuest out-Treks Star Trek

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 21:51:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afeinman - I must say I was much more impressed with Galaxy Quest than I have been with any Star Trek movie since II. In all categories - special effects,

lot (it's a cheap plot, but at least it doesn't take itself seriously) and the ability to not make me...
