Cood concept, not so good product

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:08:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - The concept is great, better idea than licking envelopes or those new fancy expensive (as unrefillable) lick-sticks. Who would not want a device that claims to lick envelopes without paper cuts or complaints, and then seals them all in one...

Great fridge if you don't need a freeze

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:15:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - DesignOutside: At about 22" Wide, 33" Tall and 21" Deep (56W x 85H x 59 D cm for us Canadians), this 4.6 cu.ft. mini fridge is quite nicely designed. Very simple flat door front with symetric handle on the top of the door and hinges that...

Great shape, cool feel, awesome price

Tue, 6 May 2008 15:16:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - $20 Canadian May 5/08 at Best Buy Canada, who could say no to that? There is little I can say about this really. Soft black rubber smooth rounded cannister with 4gb of USB Flash memory inside. It fits in your pocket like all the others, and it plugs...

USR quality with the above average price per pound

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 03:26:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - USR delivers another wonderful product in the 5453 Wireless Access Point - a 'professional' or to the rest of us, a business-class device. Nothing fancy in its looks, just a set black rabbit ears. The basic needs in radio; 54Mbit 802.11b/g. Good...

Ultimate 'everything' smartphone

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:58:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - To start, ignore the advertizing for the Blackberry and iPhone. Nokia has created a smartphone that does all that, and far more, in a mobile phone. Let's begin with the innovative slider - slide up and the phone keypad is revealed, similar to other...

Desktop replacement it is, and well done

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 15:44:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - The Canadian version of this laptop does not significantly differ from the US or other similar version numbers by much. The one I have is as follows: Pentium 4 3.2GHz with HT, 1024MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD+RW Drive, 802.11b/g Wireless, 15.4" Wide...

Cheap price not worth it

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 17:29:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Maxtor generally produces adequate quality drives. This one is an exception. Of the 100 or so I have seen purchased among my customers (I provide technical support) 13 have failed within 6 months of purchase, and 5 others have failed within a year...

3Com U.S. Robotics Broadband Router 8000 (USR8000): USR their best router/firewall

Sun, 21 Jul 2002 15:50:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - You can buy so many different gateways/routers/firewalls. 4 port, 8port, with printer port, wireless options... The only advice for this is to purchase based on your particular needs.

The USR 8000 broadband router is a 4-port 10/100...

Startech Computer PR BRACKET10PK 3.5IN TO 5.25IN UNIV HARD DRIVE ADPTR BRACKETS 10-: It is only a bracket

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 03:17:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - I mean - it's a piece of metal. What is there to review really?

You would be surprised - perhaps not if you are actually reading this review.

Not all HD brackets are equal. Metal ones, such as this are usually smaller than the...

Big Blue, Big Space

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 02:57:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - IBM as usual produces some of the best computer equipment available. But sometimes it is a little too expensive when comparing with comparative quality competitor products. In this case that is not true. The IBM 120gb Ultra-ATA5 7200

It is...

It is as close to LCD as CRT can be

Wed, 27 Feb 2002 04:38:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - If you read the title, you may disagree. Most tube monitors (CRT) don't look anything like a LCD screen. LCD are distortion-less and have zero flicker since refresh is a different technology. The 915FT's box has a tagline which is true; " Eyestrain...

ATI Radeon 32MB: Radeon VE Dual Head a dog

Wed, 30 Jan 2002 02:28:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - When this was a new product, the reviews said it would be great. Unfortunately, they didn't know about all the compatibility problems that would arise over the next few months.

The Ati Radeon VE dual head video card does not work overall...

NEC MultiSync FE750+ (White) 17 in. CRT Conventional Monitor: Fake-flat monitors are just ok

Sat, 5 Jan 2002 20:27:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - It was not my choice to get this monitor, however I did not complain since it was better than my old 15". The flat-emulated screen is great to work on when you are directly in front of the screen. However, if there is someone working beside you the...

Everyone needs a firewall, get a good one.

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 15:40:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - There are dozens of home internet gateway devices on the market today. It is very difficult to choose which one is right for you. The only advice I can provide in this area is to purchase based on your particular needs.

McAfee VirusScan: Don't waste your time on McAfee

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 15:22:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - McAfee once made reliable software. Perhaps this was before they got big. Since version 4, their anti-virus software has become below-par. With significant problems since version 4, I would strongly recommend against this tool to protect your...

3Com Fast EtherLink Server NIC (3CR990SVR9510) PCI hot-plug Network Adapter: Running a server, go 3com server nic

Fri, 16 Nov 2001 14:40:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Our 3Com 3C980 Fast Server Card was, like most nic's, installed right out of the box. The P3 server was easily configured with the included CD, and the network was up and running. It has now been about 6 months, and not one single problem has occurred...

Costco Online Store: CostCo Online worth the effort

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 04:18:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - If you have never been to CostCo, then the Online version should be the next page you visit.

I have been a CostCo real-world visitor for quite a long time. Sure, they don't have everything under the sun, but the things they do have are...

PC Liquidator Online Store: If I didn't know better, I would think they were in a basement.

Thu, 2 Aug 2001 04:00:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - I don't really want to put this group down, but their website (July 2001) gives a very good impression of what their service is like; needs a little work. You will get the idea when and if you choose to visit them.

Honestly, I am not sure why...

Ok, the color and transparent aside, it's not bad

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 03:06:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Sure, this thing looks pretty cool, with its cool colors and transparent case. Need blinking lights and whatnots.

But, seriously, this is not a bad phone. My roomie moved away, and left this with us. We have now used it a while, and the...

10 cameras researched, and this is the one I bought

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 02:57:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Well, after two years researching digital cameras, and waiting for them to get to where I wanted, I bough the Nikon CoolPix 880 silver.

Digital Cameras seem to compete on what they don't have, rather than what they have. This camera has good...

With my complaints - I like it anyway

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 03:38:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - I had looked for a very long time for a new VCR to replace my 13 year old RCA (that I won!) The key feature I was looking for was commercial skip. This one has it, and does it quite well in my experience.

Commercial skip works only on tapes...

What is ghost? Do you know? You may want to...

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 03:04:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Ghost is perhaps, not the best name for this utility since it doesn't adequately describe what it does. But, on the other hand, once you know what Ghost is - you will not forget about this awesome tool.

Ghost is a drive / partition complete...

Upgrade to 4.0 when you have the chance

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 02:48:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - Ok, there are over 225 opinions on Dreamweaver 3.0!

If you know nothing about this product - go see the review of 3.0 since 4.0 is merely more of the same, and a little more of the new. It's still the best web design product on the market -...

NEC-Mitsubishi AccuSync 95F: It's ok for a flat, but missing something

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 02:35:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - I was happy when I opened my box, and then quickly became less happy.

Installing it with Windows 2000 went a little less smooth than most other monitors. There was no driver in Windows 2000 for it - and there was no driver disk included with...

750s worth a visit

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 02:23:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author choicex - The Look:

It looks good. And I don't just mean the image. The profile is nice on the eyes, including a small case border around the screen. The power button is simple and efficient - but you will likely never push it since it's a...
