Perhaps I am a bit of a minimalist, but I prefer the "beige box" look of a computer case as opposed to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~384613650052 Sun, 1 Jul 2007 15:09:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_384613650052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_384609717892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - The Asus P5B-Plus motherboard is an excellent choice for building a new system for home use, small business, and modest gaming. Although it does not support SLI, the P5B-Plus motherboard supports a multitude of features to accomodate most needs without... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~384609717892 Sun, 1 Jul 2007 14:17:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_384609717892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_381364768388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - Utopia can be described as a "forgotten classic." The game, as I later discovered, was actually a port from the MS-DOS game of the same name. In comparison I feel the SuperNES version is superior, with a more diverse color palette and additional... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~381364768388 Sun, 24 Jun 2007 22:03:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_381364768388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245298204292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - Having owned SimCity for Super Nintendo, I just had to play SimEarth as soon as I heard of an SNES version.

Finally, last night, the time had come. What I thought was going to be a highly-detailed historical endeavor turned out to be somewhat of a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~245287587460 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 17:31:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_245287587460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245279854212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - Perhaps the days of 2-D Super Nintendo games are gone, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end. In this review, we will look at a classic puzzle game, Zoop, for Super Nintendo. If you are of the mature crowd, don't let its colorful theme deter you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~245279854212 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 16:49:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_245279854212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_245277560452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - *** INSTALLATION AND SETUP *** Physically installing the drive is no different than installing any IDE CDROM drive.

If you are running DSL, you won't be able to take advantage of gigabit transfer rates anyway, so this card is excellent for a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~245257375364 Sun, 30 Jul 2006 14:09:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_245257375364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_239793835652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - I am a die-hard Civilization fan since Civilization I. Naturally, I pre-ordered Civ IV in September 2005, and have been playing it ever since I got it. CivIV is an "easy to learn, tough to master" type of game. Needless to say, it will keep you up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~239793835652 Sun, 2 Jul 2006 15:31:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_239793835652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_239785250436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - I purchased this van used at a Ford dealership in my area about two years ago, so I feel I have had sufficient time to evaluate it. I purchased this in August of 2004. Only my mother and I drive this van, and we generally use it for cargo, so I can't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~239785250436 Sun, 2 Jul 2006 14:56:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_239785250436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183256125060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ernietwerbel - Since AOL was offering McAfee for free, I figured why not give it a shot? Let me tell you I am glad I did, and after seeing what it did for me I would have bought the software myself if I had known it was this powerful.

It is a fun game filled with puzzles and challenges, but it gets to be more of the same thing as you progress. I have never finished the game, but I would imagine it could take literally days.

So far it seems to have been a good investment. The LCD screen allows you to preview your image. The flash can be set on or off, and it can also take pictures in black-and-white or sepia tone.

Turns out, the camera software is not compatible with Windows XP. I don't know if they came out with any updates for the drivers though, my guess would be yes.
