I was previously using a One For All URC-8910, so I can't help but compare this new R7 (R7G) to that. I could recommend either one of them, with some minor reservations... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~254806822532 Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:29:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_254806822532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_243126603396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - First, I'm reviewing a 2006 model year Burgman 400 by Suzuki, also known as model AN400. But 2003 - 2006 are all the same motorcycle/scooter. Be aware that the 2007 model is totally different . . . larger/different engine, larger frame, larger wheels,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~243126603396 Wed, 19 Jul 2006 17:27:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_243126603396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219928432260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - Update 10/28/08:  These appliances are over two and a half years old now.  We have a child now, also.  So we're running a couple loads every other day.  This washer (and matching dryer) still perform flawlessly with ZERO... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219928432260 Mon, 6 Feb 2006 16:19:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219928432260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_219228507780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - I've got a light beard which I often let grow for several days, when I'm not working. I believe I've tried every brand of electric razor available now including major brands like Panasonic, Norelco, Remington, and now Braun. Overall, I've been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~219228507780 Mon, 30 Jan 2006 13:51:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_219228507780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_218137595524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - Before I start this review, I should note that I believe Frigidaire is owned by (Electrolux?) now. Also, this review covers several different model numbers. These are all the exact same dishwasher, with different exterior colors: FDB1050RE (the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~218137595524 Wed, 18 Jan 2006 15:58:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_218137595524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_217943805572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - Our Sharp Carousel was worn out after several years of moderate use. We really needed a new microwave. Not wanting to wait for something to be delivered, we wanted to buy locally. But our choice of stores was somewhat limited, unless we wanted to do a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217943805572 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 21:34:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217943805572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_210865458820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - This is a review of the F-419 (R12) 19" LCD monitor by AG Neovo. I own the black version, though I'm posting this under the (Ivory) heading. My wife wanted to buy a new LCD monitor for her parents. They are using a 14&#148 CRT monitor that barely... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~210865458820 Fri, 11 Nov 2005 00:20:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_210865458820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209747021444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - Being the family computer expert, I'm constantly being given computers to work on. I used to keep a spare monitor, keyboard and mouse to use for other people's computers. But that wasn't exactly convenient, and it took too much space to store those... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209747021444 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 23:25:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209747021444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_209670606468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - Last year, I was tasked to build a portable gaming system for a teenager who earned it by making the honors roll. I chose the Biostar P4VMA-M mainboard, which I reviewed here. It was extremely fast and stable, which was all I could have hoped for.

She already knows that she isn't supposed to use the house as her bathroom, so she is careful to do her business out of sight of "mom and dad". As the main floor of our house is essentially cut in half by an opening between two... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~209192652420 Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:32:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_209192652420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190827171460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - On DVD Recording Well, as the box claims this thing is a &#147DVD RECORDER&#148, I guess I should start reviewing this beast as a &#147DVD RECORDER&#148. To put it bluntly, I hate it, as a dvd recorder. I find my wife&#146s computer (with a DVD R/W... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190827171460 Sat, 23 Jul 2005 20:28:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190827171460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154280824452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - I already had a Belkin brand "g" wireless adapter, but I was constantly shuffling it between two notebooks (both running Windows XP Pro). I travel a lot and got tired of having to re-pack it every week or so. I decided it might be smarter to pick up a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154280824452 Fri, 3 Sep 2004 10:22:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154280824452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150529281668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - This one is a very realistic ocean view screen saver that you can also use as an active desktop in Windows XP, if you wish. An active desktop in this case means that fish are swimming around in the background while you are working. In other words, you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150529281668 Thu, 5 Aug 2004 19:44:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150529281668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149877198468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - OK, first let me state this isn't my first Biostar build, though it's been several years since I built with a Biostar brand board. I think this brand (Biostar) is highly under-rated. I was recently asked to build a portable gaming system for my nephew... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149877198468 Sat, 31 Jul 2004 18:11:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149877198468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149854588548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - I had to build a portable (upgradable) system for my nephew, who needed a good gaming system that he could travel with and upgrade later (in other words, portable, but not a notebook). I ended up building a P4 2.8/512MB/FX5900XT system in an antec aria... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149854588548 Sat, 31 Jul 2004 13:36:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149854588548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149450821252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - My teenage nephew (an avid gamer) achieved high honors in school for the second year straight, earning a new computer system.

I know that isn't very romantic, but it was what she wanted. She's happy with it. Like most new toys I buy for her, I end up using them more than she does. :) The Pro version is the mid-level... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137743208068 Fri, 23 Apr 2004 14:24:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137743208068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_134337498756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davec80 - I service rack-mount computer equipment. I often have to remove computers from the rack or even tear the rack apart to access electronic equipment. This involves removing and reinstalling dozens of really long fine thread screws.

Of course, at the time, a decent sized LCD was about a thousand bucks. I wouldn't consider it at that price.
