Lots of potential for upgrade...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - I bought this on clearance from Office Depot for $230 plus a $50 rebate (gotta love those rebates). I've got to tell you, it's a heck of a deal, even at a slightly higher price. First, the processor, an AMD Sempron 3200+ (1.8GHz) is an excellent 64...

My two year son old loves it, My 36 year old self hates it!

Fri, 3 Feb 2006 17:11:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - My mom got this for my son. I'll admit, it's a nifty concept. When I was a kid, I used to love walking past the camcorder section in stores and seeing myself on TV. That being said, I think the execution was rather poor, especially for a Fisher...

Round and round she goes, when she cracks...?

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - The History Lesson I've got to tell you. The bane of my gadget existence is and always has been wires. I've dropped my mp3 player and/or ripped the headphones or earbuds from my head more times than I can count because of a tangled or caught...

Attack of the DVDs!!!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - Original Review Date: 28 Feb, 2003

Update 22 Mar, 2003

Okay...

My wife and I finally broke down and decided to buy a full-fledged DVD player. We've been using my laptop (which has a TV out) for the past three years, and...

Excellent printer (with caveats)...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - It seems that most owners of this printer got theirs for free with the purchase of a Dell computer. Unlike them, I actually went out and purchased it with my own money. I don't regret it, but there are a few things you should know.

To begin...

Stick With The 1997 Release

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - I picked up this game at Target in a double package with the original Caesar's Palace. I've been looking for a Casino game for the past few weeks, and I figured that at 9.99 for the pair, I couldn't go wrong. I lost that bet.

What You...

Full of hope for Hope's End...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - Let me start by saying that the author, Stephen Chambers (now a 20 year old University of Chicago student), is from my hometown (Louisville). His youth and the quality of his writing garnered an article in the Courier-Journal in September of 2001, and...

Crush, Kill, Destroy!!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - Okay, so maybe you won't be building Robbie the Robot, or even Vlad the Impaler, but you can make some fairly interesting creations with this set (I suppose you could prototype that great Battlebot you've had kicking around the back of your head,...

It will get you noticed...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - It was time to buy a new digital camera.

My previous experience with digital cameras has been a "mixed positive" (I had a Polaroid PDC 640 which, though it took decent pictures, died twice...once while under warranty, and finally just after...

The Be All End All for Flying Circus Fans

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 14:51:17 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - THE BBC WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT.

What can I say about Monty Python's Flying Circus that hasn't already been said many times over the past thirty years? These Brits (with their token American)...

MGI Software VideoWave II: Great beginner product

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 17:32:54 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - As with a great many of my impulse buys, I bought VideoWave III because I got a great deal. CompUSA (bless their pointy little heads) had this product for $10 so you could buy the upgrade version for VW4, which would still be cheaper than buying the...

Someone finally got it right...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - Remember in The Matrix, when Neo watches Morpheus jump across the building and says "Whoa!"?

That's how I felt when I found the Archos Jukebox 6000.

The Archos is the FOURTH portable MP3 player I've owned since mid 1998. At first,...

(ZipCD USB)-Look around at your other options first...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - I picked up my unit (refurbished) from CompUSA.com for $149 minus a $50 rebate, so the price was right. Unfortunately in this case, you get what you pay for.

I wish I could blame the problems on its status as a refurbished unit, but that's...

Welcome to a new life as a couch potato...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - Remember the change in your television habits when you got your first VCR? ReplayTV is a jump of the same magnitude. This device, for better or worse, has changed the way I watch television!

Why buy a new cartridge?

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 15:46:58 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author antjenkins - It's finally come down to this, has it? It is finally more cost effective to buy a new printer than to replace the cartridge.

Okay not entirely, but it's getting very close. I picked up the Lexmark Z12 at Target for $49.99 to finally replace...
