Not worth the paper it prints on (if it prints)

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:34:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I bought this printer after reading numerous expert reviews (make that "expert" reviews). They raved about the print quality, speed, the duplexer (which is the printer's best feature), and some other items. It has several Editor's Choice awards from...

Awesome features (if they worked), and serious flaws

Thu, 11 May 2006 22:32:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - Save yourself some reading- DON'T BUY PANASONIC! If you want to know why- read on. Sad- Panasonic used to be a quality brand. This unit can record or copy to/from Hard Disk (80GB), VHS, and DVD (most formats). It has high-speed copy...

Tiger Direct Online Store: Free baloney with every order!

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 17:49:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I needed a USB server (a device that lets me access USB devices through my network, and share them between computers). After searching with MySimon, I found that TigerDirect had the best price. I ASSUMED that they were a reliable company, since they've...

Prepare for frustration

Thu, 15 Sep 2005 15:46:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - Beware: Hawking may or may not answer the phone when you call tech support!!! Having tried to call 12 times now, I usually get a busy signal. Twice this morning their phone has rang and rang, until a machine answered with a brief tone and a click...

Powerful if a bit quirky

Fri, 1 Jul 2005 06:35:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - This PDA does lots of phone stuff well. I added MS voice command, and now it's nothing short of amazing. With this software (which is speaker-independent, thus needing no training), you can voice dial any number (contact+phone number type) using your...

Provantage Online Store: Not my first choice- exorbitant shipping charges

Sun, 29 May 2005 20:03:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - Short and sweet: Good price, Middling service, High shipping charges. I bought four USB-RS232 cable adapters, and two large (60x120cm) anti-static mats. They were done as two separate shipments. The adapter cables are small, but they charged me...

TI-89 Titanium- arrrgh!!!!

Thu, 16 Sep 2004 18:06:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - Having been an electronics engineer for 20 years, I use calculators quite a bit. I decided it was time to replace my dozen year-old HP 28S with the biggest, baddest TI available. Now, I'm thinking that was a mistake. The features on this calculator are...

Hyundai = luxury (Driving IS Believing)

Wed, 27 Mar 2002 16:32:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - My 1999 Buick Regal GS was due to be turned in from lease, and we were looking for a car with the same amenities. We didn't necessarily want another Buick. The local Buick dealer suggested that we include this Hyundai in our comparison. Of course, they...

I'm delighted

Sat, 13 Oct 2001 01:36:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - At first I was reluctant to buy a Brother laser printer. I always thought that HP was the most compatible and reliable. A couple of recent HP purchases (and returns) have changed my mind about that. I have a Linux server, and have been burned before. I...

It's Music To My Teeth

Mon, 28 May 2001 17:07:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I asked the hygenist whether it was worth considering an electric toothbrush. She said that years ago she would have said "no", but the newer ones work well. Without recommending one brand over another, she told me that my dentist sells the Sonicare Plus...

After four units- none good

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 20:37:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I purchased this very expensive unit because of its speed (it is very fast) and keyboard. You can touch type on it, if you're used to the layout and small size, and are careful. The screen is not very bright, so you'll have trouble using this outdoors,...

Great copier, terrible printer

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 18:56:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I bought this product because, according to Xerox's marketing materials, it would print at up to 600dpi and copy. I thought that I would save money. I had read somewhere that it has HP Laserjet III emulation capability, but that is not so. About a week...

Colors are WAY off

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 17:21:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkeeler - I was thrilled with the first few test prints. The printer is fast, the output crisp.

Then I tried to print my company logo. It has pure blue (RGB = 0,0,255). The blue came out somewhat dark and with a purple tinge.

I finally got...
