Page Computer: Was a great company, appears to be gone

Thu, 1 Feb 2007 13:45:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - For several years I ordered through Page Computers. Service was fast and reliable. My most recent order has problems. The order appeared on the Page Web site as 'shipped' within a day or two. After more than 10 days, not a single item arrived. No...

A great little box

Wed, 7 Sep 2005 15:35:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - The D-Link DNS-120 is a great little box that makes USB disk drives available on a Windows-based Ethernet network. The DNS-120 appears as a computer on the network, and any attached USB disk drives appear as drives on the computer. To set up the...

Almost ready to ship

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 13:39:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - In the last month I've built about 6 Athlon 64 systems with the MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard and PCI Express video cards based on the nVIDIA GeForce 6200 TC. Most used MSI video cards, but two use the eVGA eGe-Force 6200 TC. The systems work well,...

PalmOne Tungsten T5 hard case: Good protection for your Palm, not useful for operation

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 13:15:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - The PalmOne Tungsten T5 hard case is a clamshell case specifically for the T5. The case has a metal exterior and a plastic interior. The interior side of the hinge has a plastic bar that slides into a slot on the side of the T5, holding the T5 securely...

Samsung SyncMaster 213 T (Silver) 21.3" LCD Monitor: Good DVI monitor, poor analog monitor

Thu, 2 Jun 2005 12:36:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - The display is big - visibly larger than a 20" LCD - and very bright. Compared to other LCD monitors I have, the 213T is very bright, and the backlight is much more blue. This color contrast can be a jarring in a dual-monitor configuration. The...

nice features, poor audio quality

Tue, 24 May 2005 12:32:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - Confirming what the other reviewer wrote, the phone has nice features, but the audio quality is poor. In my case, the poor audio quality is apparent only to me as a user of the phone. When I call someone using the phone, they do not detect any audio...

Good for layout, limited structuring capabilities

Mon, 13 Oct 2003 20:34:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - InDesign is Adobe's new page-layout program, presumably eventually replacing other programs such as PageMaker and FrameMaker. InDesign is wonderful for brochures, short documents, and long documents with limited structure. It does not work well for long t...

Great device, power problems

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:11:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - The StarTech IDECASE25U2 is a wonderful enclosure for a 2.5 inch hard drive. The case is nicely shaped and surprisingly small. The shape, without any sharp edges, makes it easy to carry, or to fit into a briefcase or bag without damaging anything else. Ju...

Supports USB 2.0

Wed, 7 May 2003 15:25:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dantbrown - The DR-2080C scanner I bought has a USB 2.0 interface in addition to the SCSI interface. It is fast, scanning several pages a minute, even in duplex mode. The scans are good, completely usable as electronic copies of paper documents.
