It's been replaced once because of damage to the proprietary jack that is used for: the charger, USB cable and headphones. I think it's OK as a phone, great as a tethered modem (using Bluetooth or USB cable), and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~345952063108 Mon, 9 Apr 2007 23:00:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_345952063108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120326164100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I've always preferred Sony Trinitron for monitors and TVs and found the Sony CPD-G520P 21" monitor. I did not love this monitor at first: when you first plug it into the computer, the colors are over-bright and text documents are blurry. I was supremely... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120326164100 Sun, 30 Nov 2003 23:41:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120326164100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120324591236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - They sell computer hardware/parts and are the seller of Casearts.com computer cases (they custom paint computer cases with different finishes/designs).

The package came with the USB hub, the wire to connect the hub to the computer, a power plug and a manual.

Skiing in the Northeast has been a fickle thing: some winters bite where it’s so warm that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114851745412 Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:50:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114851745412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114850762372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I work in the legal profession and needed a briefcase that: (1) had style; (2) is durable for everyday use; (3) carry several legal-sized files; (4) occasionally carry a laptop; (5) does not weigh a ton (i.e., not leather); (6) can stuff mi... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114850762372 Tue, 7 Oct 2003 21:31:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114850762372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114705796740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - No matter what you do to zero the scale, the needle always moves around, usually above the zero mark. Also, if you bump into the scale, the needle needs to be adjusted again. Our ancient Polder analog scale has been bumped, dropped and moved -- and the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114705796740 Mon, 6 Oct 2003 11:50:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114705796740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_114418159236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I've had this car for about nine months with over 10,000 miles on it. PROS: Handles well under most bad weather conditions: snow, sleet and driving rain (and I'm driving normally, not like a crazy person). The gas mileage is mediocre compared t... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~114418159236 Thu, 2 Oct 2003 22:12:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_114418159236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113681600132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I've had Optimum Online for two years and I've never looked back. I no longer need to find reliable download accelerators (and cross your fingers that it does not also load spyware onto your computer). It's a great feeling to be able to update your... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113681600132 Wed, 24 Sep 2003 18:02:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113681600132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113601515140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - Verizon pretty much OWNS the phone service in the New York Metro area, which is why I've been using their cellular service for the past five years. During my travels around the Northeast, I found that Verizon has the most consistent service compared to o... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113601515140 Tue, 23 Sep 2003 22:00:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113601515140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113599680132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I've used the Gamesurrond Fortissimo III 7.1 for about six months and I think it is a great, affordable sound card for those who can't or don't want to spend $200+ for the Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum. The Gamesurround Fortissimo III sounds just as go... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113599680132 Tue, 23 Sep 2003 21:13:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113599680132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113481715332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - I went several times to John's Pizza (between 1999-2003): to their original restaurant and to their branch in the Theater District.

All the pizzas I've had there would have be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113481715332 Mon, 22 Sep 2003 17:22:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113481715332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113234972292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - Easy to use web site and no difficulties in making an online purchase.

What a disappointment: it removes hair OK, but the shave does not last long. I had hoped it would last a week or two lik... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113233137284 Fri, 19 Sep 2003 21:53:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113233137284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113232285316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - We use it for our business and we print approximately 3000-8000 pages a month. It's been a couple of months and we're happy with the performance with this printer.

It is idiotic for Bioware to think I would want to start my character at level one for this game, even with the new prestige classes available. The story has nothing to do with the original game,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113230712452 Fri, 19 Sep 2003 21:05:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113230712452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113228484228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author critic27 - Wow! The graphics and game interface is wonderful. The detail is amazing and a story line that pulls you in. Bioware definitely put some serious effort into this game with music score, effects and toolset.
