I first saw these speakers strolling through Fry's and immediately put them on my short list in case I needed speakers at some point. Then when the time came, I bought them... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434230365828 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:18:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434230365828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432201436804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - In general, I do not think highly of cellphone companies. The plans they offer are all (as far as I can tell) pretty much the same... Guess how much you will talk on the cell. If you talk less we'll keep the change. If you talk more, we'll really gouge... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432201436804 Sun, 1 Jun 2008 04:59:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432201436804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432109817476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - Would that there were more I could say for this, but I'll try. I needed a flexible, easy-to-use wireless adapter for temporary additions to my network because I fix PCs and I do not have wired Ethernet going to my workbench. Apartments may have many... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432109817476 Sat, 31 May 2008 11:47:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432109817476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431662075524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I've had a small Sony DAT recorder for some time. It records in CD quality on a tiny VCR-style tape just half the size of an audiocassette. As well as a line out/headphone socket, the TCD-D7 as a 7-pin SPDIF socket for digital playback/recording -... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431662075524 Tue, 27 May 2008 20:08:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431662075524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431595818628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I upgraded from an Athlon XP-based system to a screaming fast (or so I thought) X2-5600+ with an ECS motherboard. I wouldn't usually go for ECS but it came bundled with the chip for less than the chip alone usually sells for. A few months later I was in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431595818628 Tue, 27 May 2008 10:34:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431595818628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_391890767492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I started writing this review a while back - and forgot to post it. I was happy with it at the time. Today the cap broke (exploded some have said) and filled the kitchen with potentially scalding steam. If i had been there and about to turn it off I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~391890767492 Sun, 4 May 2008 15:54:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_391890767492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252988657284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I bought this mouse as a gift for a friend who was fairly new to computers, and having trouble with her mouse. Let's face it, if you're not quite sure how to do a click in the first place you don't need to have to hit the button with arthritic fingers... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252988657284 Thu, 7 Sep 2006 10:05:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252988657284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214028291716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - You know the feeling, you've hit the J key three times and nothing has happened so you turn the keyboard upside down and bang it and a potted history of the last 3 weeks in microcosm falls out and maybe the J will start to work, and maybe it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214028291716 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 14:45:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214028291716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_184111435396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - It's a 52x CD writer. Old hat. It&#146s one of a hundred out there. What if anything makes this special? I bought this recently at OfficeMax, on sale for $40, with a rebate offer as well. Good deal. I do a lot of CD writing, and like to have the odd... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~184111435396 Mon, 23 May 2005 17:57:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_184111435396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_176276147844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - Introduction: I've had my PSC 1210 over a year now and it's been a great buy. My old printer had run out of ink and I was at the store looking at $70 for a set of ink, or $50 for this refurbished printer with scanner thrown in. Since my scanner... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176276147844 Fri, 18 Mar 2005 08:11:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176276147844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175478967940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - Before you read the rest, I'm on my 3rd scanner now. Second one got very hot and burned out after about a week. Third one is best... it works (though i've only done a few scans) and only has slight colour balance problems. Meaning it's still not good... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175478967940 Fri, 4 Mar 2005 07:58:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175478967940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_166938971780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I have been printing booklets for the last couple of months. Poetry books - if you want one email me. I had been using a fine printer except it had problems feeding printed paper to do the second side. Manual duplex was a bear! I spent some time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~166938971780 Sun, 26 Dec 2004 22:31:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_166938971780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165409951364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - Yes I loved it. Mostly. I bought my HL1440 about 3 months ago, and in that time I've printed about 6000 sheets - used up the original TN430 and I'm well into the TN460 cartridge. The printer has performed flawlessly. I bought it partly because I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165409951364 Tue, 14 Dec 2004 16:30:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165409951364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115788844676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I'd been toying with the idea of a new printer for a while, and for some reason the Epson C82 appealed. I think I liked the look of the sample printouts in Best Buy. The price of $150, however, didn't. So I carried on with my old Lexmark which printed eve... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~115788844676 Fri, 17 Oct 2003 16:31:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_115788844676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115773050500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I've used NewEgg several times for motherboards, video cards, CPUs, CD-RW drives, and more. The wewbsite is comprehensive, providing about everything I could need. I can find a product by keyword search, or by drilling down through the category list... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~115773050500 Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:06:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_115773050500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_94829317764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I bought these speakers a few months ago sight unseen. The price was right, the specs looked good, amd I liked the appearance. So I took a chance. <br><br/> <br><br/>They arrived in a simple card box, with the usual expanded polystyrene foam packing. In the box... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~94829317764 Fri, 4 Apr 2003 04:27:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_94829317764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_94149316228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I build, repair and upgrade computer systems occasionally when friends or I need something done. My PC rarely has its covers on, but that&#146s another matter. <br><br/> <br><br/>Recently I had two to build, and research let me to the A7N8X.

It was an amazing bargain - I bought it during the grand opening sale for a new computer/electronics store for the princely sum of $20.00. It's the nice blue one. <br><br/> <br><br/>The package includes the camera, instruction... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~94008807044 Thu, 27 Mar 2003 04:51:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_94008807044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_68926344836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I only bought a single item, an AMD Athlon, 700 MHz slot A processor, so this is not "statistically significant." Service was friendly and efficient, and the chip arrived the next day - even though I called fairly late in the day, they got it out that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~68926344836 Wed, 3 Jul 2002 23:48:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_68926344836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_59574750852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - Bought this as a present. Big name, great features, what can go wrong? Short answer - Everything. I soon found out why this w available at the incredible price of $20. I'm not going to bore you with a list of everything it comes with or can do, becaus... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~59574750852 Sun, 24 Mar 2002 05:53:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_59574750852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_22264450692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I wasn't sure I needed a new modem. I had problems -- unable to stay online over about 20 minutes, sometimes unable to log on at all, and freezing for about 30 seconds from time to time while i was online. <br><br/> <br><br/>This had been a long term problem... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~22264450692 Sun, 13 May 2001 15:46:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_22264450692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_22239809156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - It used to be my job to grind the coffee. A little wooden box, and a handle which, at four years old, I was barely strong enough to turn. The coffee was brewed in a battered and badly stained saucepan, so a coarse grind was required. I doubt i would have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~22239809156 Sun, 13 May 2001 11:58:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_22239809156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_10476097156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - I do not know where the "estimated price" of $99 comes from, and I'll never understand computer marketing in America. I bought this scanner one holiday weekend for $50, with a $30 mail in rebate (which arrived a few weeks later). For the price it's been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~10476097156 Sat, 24 Feb 2001 03:57:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_10476097156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-6224-923C421-3960D57A-prod2?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ethelred - <br> <br/>So good. Saw this movie when it first came out, rented the video and now on TV. Still delights. <br> <br/><br> <br/>First thing that really caught my attention was the music. It's intelligent, inspired, and complements the plot beautifully.

Not enough to pay theatre prices, but looking for a Sunday night movie, there is was, and home it came. And one day it's coming home again ... not right away, but... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~1085909 Mon, 3 Jul 2000 14:44:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/mvie-review-13A4-91A2A0D-3960BCE6-prod2?linkin_id=8003929
