Good No Frills GPS with a few problems (less now)

Thu, 14 May 2009 09:22:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This gps has a lot of things going for it. The screen is big, bright and easy to read. Routing is good too and on par with the Garmins and Tomtoms. Price was great too. The POI database is large, approx 6 million and well organized to boot. I found the...

Shows a lot of promise - only time will tell

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - After using Garmin and Tomtom gps's, I decided to try the Navigon 7200T hoping to find a unit that took the best from the Tomtom and Garmin offerings. The 7200T is quite different from both. Like the Tomtom, the Navigon shows a lot of info on the screen...

Not bad, not bad

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - The format war is finally over. Blu-Ray won. Is Blu-Ray better than HD DVD? Each has their own pros and cons but in the end, I don't think it makes much difference to the average user, like me. The important thing is there is only one format. So, as...

This could have been the best

Fri, 9 Nov 2007 13:53:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author egale - The Tomtom 720 has so much potential. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, it has to get you where you need to go and it falls far short. First, the display is very nice. The maps are easy to view. There is a ton of information of the screen...

Very poor headset

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:13:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author egale - I was expecting a lot when I bought this headset. I was hoping to finally find a headset that worked well outside and inside. What I found was a headset that doesn't work well anywhere. First, the size is great. It fits nicely on your ear. It is sort...

Incompatible Discs

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:27:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is a basic unit with great picture quality as long as you play the discs on this unit. Don't even try using them anywhere else. They won't play on my Sony DVD player, my desktop (two different drives, two different software packages) and my laptop...

Keeps Getting Better

Mon, 11 Oct 2004 14:17:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Having started with a 300D, then upgrading to the 10D and now the 20D, I have been so pleased with each upgrade. The 300D is a great camera. It is missing some features that make it harder to work with sometimes but all in all the results are excellent...

PC Connection Online Superstore Online Store: Quick shipping, cheap shipping rates!

Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:16:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Ordered a hard to get digital camera. Phoned to make sure they had the camera in stock. They assured me they did, took my order over the phone, and saved me a few dollars on their already low shipping rates. The camera arrived on my doorstep the next...

Better Than I Expected

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - I purchased these binoculars because of past experience with Nikon digital cameras. My experience with binoculars before these were always with cheap models by other manufacturers. I always complained it was hard to see through them and I had to close...

Staples Online Store: Can you hear me scream?

Tue, 4 Dec 2001 10:47:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author egale - I found an online $20 coupon off an order of $100 or more for Staples.com. I was in the market for a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card so this seemed like a good deal.

I checked their web site and they had the card for $99.98. Card showed as in...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Recently, I went shopping for a Canon Powershot G2 digital camera. I checked prices at www.shopper.com, www.pricewatch.com among others. I also read reviews about the miriad of online camera stores that advertise super low prices but in reality are...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Ever since I have owned a computer, I have always had Creative Soundblaster cards. I recently built myself a new system and decided to go all out on the sound card and bought the Soundblaster Live! Platinum. What a mistake.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is TV card number 3 for me. First I had a Hauppauge WinTV. Their software was good, picture was bad. I switched to a Pinnacle PCTV Pro. There picture was good but their software and technical support is horrible. I played with switching between the...

Very good, almost excellent.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is my fourth cell phone. I got very tired of the non-folding style phones. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally made a call while the phone was in my pocket or scratched the screen because it was knocked against something when I put...

Good but room for improvement

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 14:16:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is my second Galant. My first, a 1989 model, was extremely reliable and the fit and finish was impeccable. My biggest problem with the car was it was somewhat under powered. I enjoyed that car so much that I decided to go with a Galant again but...

Wow! Wow! Wow!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - My aging Bose speakers were starting to have problems and the cost of repair was half the cost of replacing them so I decided to just replace them. Unfortunately, I don't have the room for a 4 satellite system so I decided I needed to go with another 2...

TDK veloCD ReWriter 12/10/32: Fast Fast Fast

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 14:30:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - The time had come. The 250meg Zip drives were just not holding enough data plus those Zip cartriges just aren't popular enough to use everywhere. I decided to go with a CD-RW instead and after reading an article in January's Maximum PC bought a TDK...

Adobe Photoshop 6: Almost Ready For Everyone

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 10:55:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Adobe Photoshop is the king of photo editing software. It is the choice of most professionals. Myself, I am an amateur home user. Over the course of many years, I have had the chance to use older versions of this product at work but for home used Corel's...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Very Good, Almost Perfect

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 12:40:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This was the first TV tuner card I purchased for my PC. At the time, it was the only card I could find that in addition to TV, did stereo sound and FM radio. With the exception of a setup problem (I'll explain later) the card worked well. My only problem...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is the second TV tuner card I have had in my machine. The first was the WinTV Stereo/FM card by Hauppauge. Because of reception problems with that card, I decided to purchase the PCTV Pro.

The PCTV Pro & Hauppauge's WinTV card are...

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 11:21:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - Having been a customer of Verizon for a year now, I finally qualified for a new phone at the reduced new customer cost. My previous phone was the Motorola SC3160. That phone was horrible. I couldn't see the screen, I couldn't hear the ring and nobody...

Hello?...Hello?... HELLO????

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 14:13:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author egale - I had high hopes for this phone. I chose this one because of the Motorola brand reputation. The Star Tac was just way too expensive so I settled on the SC3160 hoping Motorola's quality would follow through. I was wrong. The people at Bell Atlantic told...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 09:49:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author egale - When I rebuilt my system a few months ago, I knew I wanted a GeForce DDR card. There was nothing on the market that even came close. I also knew it had to be a GeForce card with DDR memory. DDR (Double Data Rate I believe) works twice as fast as normal...
