Vonage Online Service: "Keep Your Current Phone Number" ... just be prepared to wait a while.

Sun, 5 Feb 2006 22:30:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - Like any self respecting geek, the prospects of Voice over IP appeal to me. Cost savings from huge cellphone bills, the convenience of getting your voicemails emailed to you, and the convenience of keeping your current phone number. Yeah - about that...

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 01:25:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I spend a lot of time on the phone working on a Helpdesk. My job consists of answering and placing phone calls all day long while typing at a computer. My employer purchased our helpdesk staff the Plantronics CS-50 headsets around November of 2003. I...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - My introduction to the Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe began when I recieved a call from one of my regular clients I do home tech support for. They were attempting to use the device to capture home movies recorded on a Camcorder. The PCTV Deluxe would show up...

Sun, 14 Dec 2003 03:15:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - It's the modern age. And I'm a young guy who's open to the idea of internet banking. So when I went looking for online banks offering the largest variety of services, with convenience I found E-trade. I read all the literature on their website, located a...

Belkin (F5D5230-4) Router: "Help! I'm a cool little switch trapped with mediocre firmware!"

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 03:31:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - Before I begin let it be known I'm writing this review for someone with a moderate knowledge of TCP/IP Networking. If you want to hear me wax poetic about software bundles and how pretty the manual is - sorry you're reading the wrong review.

T-Mobile Phone Service in Philadelphia: Perfect for the casual user

Thu, 23 Jan 2003 01:35:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - So you've finally broken down and decided to get a cell phone. Everyone else has one, why shouldn't you? It's the hip thing to do. "Call my mobile" you say. "Text Message Me!"

Ok - so you're really not the social butterfly. And hey - neither...

Rio Volt SP250 Personal CD Player: Evolution of the Volt

Thu, 23 Jan 2003 01:21:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - Sonicblue's Rio Volt SP250 improves upon the already successful design of its predecessor, the Rio Volt SP100. However, the SP250 still shares some flaws of its inherent relative SP100. Here I will cover some of the changes between the SP100 and SP250...

Koss UR-20 Consumer Headphones: Boom For Your Buck

Mon, 9 Jul 2001 01:21:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I've had the Koss UR-20 headphones for approximately 7 months. My initial impressions of the headphones was very positive, but I've found some things I don't like. The Good -------- These headphones sound very good for consumer-level grade...

E-Stamp: ARGH-Stamp

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 01:18:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - Thank you for my printer, E-Stamp. I pulled a similar deal to other reviewers here [thank you buy.com!] and got myself a spiffy new HP 930C Printer also for around $20 after purchasing E-Stamp and receiving a rebate for my new printer. Once again I...

Oritron DVD200 DVD Player: The Devil's Demonic DVD Player

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 17:25:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - The Oritron DVD200 is a sneaky little devil. When it first came out of the box - I loved it. I slowly grew to loathe the thing and the Oritron brand.

Initial impressions of the unit were good. It was a notch or two above the quality I was...

WWII Fighters: Not a flight sim fan? Neither Was I ...

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 23:59:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I never really got into flight sims. They were too complex, arcane, and boring. WWII Fighters changes my whole outlook.

I picked up Janes WWII Fighters in Staples for $12 recently. The best bargain I've ever gotten on a game easily. I...

Logitech Man Wheel (911458-0403) Mouse: Own another mouse? Throw it out!

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 23:18:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - This is bar none, the best mouse I have ever, ever used. These things comform to your hand so incredibly well it's scary. I've had slight discomfort in my hands in the past from extended mouse usage (probably Carpal Tunnel I know ...), and I have felt no...

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 15:51:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - This card was good - two years ago.

I originally wrote this review a while ago. I just noticed epinions messed up and moved my review and a bunch of other peoples into the Diamond MX80 category. Can we say OOPS GUYS?! Anyhow, I am reposting my...

Viewsonic VP151: So Pretty... So Pricey

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 23:18:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - The joys of things you get to play with at work.

I used the ViewSonic VP151 for about a day while setting it up on a system at work. I haven't used many flat panel monitors in my life, but this has got to be the coolest one yet.

Handspring Visor Edge Handheld: The Poor Man's Palm

Fri, 5 May 2000 21:37:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I've owned my Visor for about 9 months now, and have found it to be quite a nice little gadget. It's my first PDA. I mostly bought it for the sheer "cool" factor of a little computer in my pocket, but scary enough, I've actually found myself...

The Beatles Anthology: 1 by The Beatles: Beatles nuts need only apply

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:30:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I love The Beatles. Now don't get me wrong but... what the heck is this CD? The Anthology concept sounded great on paper, but this CD is truly weird. Containing tons of live takes/outtakes/interview segments and the overplayed/overhyped and not so great...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Logitech - Stick to Input Devices!

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 22:39:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - LOGITECH SOUNDMAN X2 SPEAKERS

I'd be REALLY annoyed if I paid retail for these. At $100 suggested retail, these things would be a bloody ripoff. However, I was fortunate enough to get these for free after purchasing $25 of mp3s from eMusic...

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 14:37:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - The ACS44's are a huge improvement over the tin-can speakers most of us are used to. There was nothing better than hooking these up to my computer and blaring my music and games. Good quality speakers for the price at which I got them.

McAfee VirusScan: Still a Reliable Choice

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 01:09:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author akuhn - I've had experience with McAfee for a while now. I've used a lot of the DOS versions (2, 3, 4) and the Windows versions. While I can't say I'm exactly really impressed with the latest offering, it still gets the job done. Scanning speed is pretty quick,...
