Overall, it makes the game a lot easier to play -- I haven't played a racing sim without a steering wheel... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~381659287172 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:21:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_381659287172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_299955555972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - We really wanted to get this camera for our oldest son for Christmas last year (wow, it's 2007 already?), but it was impossible to find at the retail stores. A while back, I gave him my old Nikon Coolpix to use, but it was just too complicated for him... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299955555972 Mon, 1 Jan 2007 06:47:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299955555972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214364950148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - Introduction: When we had our first child, we were taking so many pictures and movies that I had to come up with a solution for all of the data. I was stupid and decided to build a PC with two 160GB drives in a RAID1 (redundant) array, running... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214364950148 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 14:52:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214364950148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214327856772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - Philips must really make a ton of money on those coffee pods, as they are doing everything they can to get a Senseo in every house! This week, they had a promotion in San Francisco, where you bring in your old coffee maker, and they'll trade it with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214327856772 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 05:31:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214327856772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183138619012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - First of all, let me just say that I'm a huge Windows PC fan. My first PC was one that my parents purchased for me for college -- a 386DX/33 with 8MB RAM. Sure it wasnt a speed demon, but the one thing I loved about PCs back then was that you could... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183138619012 Fri, 13 May 2005 15:05:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183138619012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174082723460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - Our son was a very difficult baby to deal with at night. He was always very unhappy about going to bed, and we'd have to stay up extremely late at night with him before he would sleep. Since I get up early in the morning for work, this was getting very... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174082723460 Sun, 20 Feb 2005 14:13:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174082723460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_167140036228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - Right next to my office is an electronics store with a cafe inside. The daily ritual is to go there almost every day with a co-worker and buy a cup of coffee. Sometimes it's just the lousy house coffee, or a mediocre mocha. At $1 for a coffee, or $3... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~167140036228 Tue, 28 Dec 2004 05:11:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_167140036228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165475028612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - When our son started to stand up, my wife and I decided that it was time to protect him from potentially fatal falls out of the crib. A friend of mine recently told us about a friend of his whose child died after falling over the side of his crib.

She works from our home office, and uses a laptop most of the time on her desk. She also has a standard desktop, and switching between the two has become a pain. Her desktop keyboard sits on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165191192196 Mon, 13 Dec 2004 03:46:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165191192196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150193344132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - It's amazing what a difference a racket grip makes. When I purchased my new H <br/>ead <br/> i.Prestige rackets, I thought that the grips they came with were quite nice. However, after a brief 1 hour of moderate play, I got a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150193344132 Tue, 3 Aug 2004 03:08:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150193344132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150192885380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - ...I've finally decided to try something new, and I went with the Technifibre NRG2 18 gauge string.

The frequency of cleanings only went up after my wife started to wean our son off of the breast! Naturally, when you need to clean 6 bottles each day, you don't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~132599025284 Tue, 9 Mar 2004 02:47:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_132599025284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_126712188548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - I'm new to fatherhood, but from the beginning it was obvious how valuable a mother's breastmilk is. First of all, it can be painful. It can also take a really long time to stockpile milk for future bottle feedings. Naturally, something as important as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~126712188548 Tue, 20 Jan 2004 17:08:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_126712188548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113152724612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - Thank goodness for Gamefly.com. If I had spent more than a buck on this game, I would have been really upset. To be quite honest with you, I don't even know where to start. I'm a huge tennis fan, and therefore I look for tennis games that offer treme... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113152724612 Fri, 19 Sep 2003 01:50:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113152724612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_102339350148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmatsumo - ...literally. And it's about the only racquet I've played with. I've used the i.Prestige's predecessors since 1987. The TXP Pro is the first racquet I played with competitively.
