How the *$@! do I get out of these things?!?

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 04:11:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - These are the stock pedals the came on my 2001 Klein Attitude Comp bike. Everything is okay about these SPD pedals, except one thing - they are incredibly difficult, sometimes impossible, to get out of! I was actually surprised by the 3 positive reviews...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - I recently purchased the 128MB version of the Rio 800 for travel and recreational use. I paid $250 at PCMall, a reasonable price for a unit with this much internal memory. My main criteria in selecting a MP3 player were 1.) compact and rugged design, 2.)...

A beautiful laptop at a great price

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - My brother was looking for an inexpensive laptop for law school in the fall. I originally suggested to him the G4 Titanium Powerbook, but it was out of his budget so I began looking for a decent PC laptop under $1500. I looked at some of the cheaper IBM...

Tremendously musical tunes; this speaker sings!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - I bought these for my girlfriend because i was able to get a great deal on them ($55 - $20 rebate) about a year ago. I wasn't expecting very much from them, not being a big fan of 3-piece speaker systems, particularly cheap ones like this (see my...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - I consider myself a fairly serious audiophile, being a musician at one time and having built and modified my own gear. As such, I think my perspective on computer speakers is probably a bit different from the average computer computer user. Although the...

one of the best cards around for image-quality freaks

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 22:53:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dorkus - what a fantastic card! i replaced my voodoo3 2000 AGP because the image quality was so terrible; not just 3d rendering, but just normal 2D in Windows looked absolutely awful on the voodoo, with washed-out color and poor focus at higher resolutions. the...
