My older eyes just could not see... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~341543063172 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 14:10:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_341543063172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_341538737796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - Since these are still available, and you might be considering one, I figured I would put my 2 cents in. As of this writing (03/31/2007) I have been using my second one for 2 months now. I am not going to bore with the actual specs, you can find that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~341538737796 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 13:23:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_341538737796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_253466152580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - We had a Royal shredder (you can lookup my review on that shredder here) that even thou it was still working, was just to big a pain to use. It jammed, it collected paper in the cutters and it was difficult to empty. Both my wife and I were tired of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~253466152580 Sat, 9 Sep 2006 18:48:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_253466152580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_232534347396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - Do you need a memory card reader? It is way more convenient than the camera transfer to the computer. Once you try this, you won't want to live without. When I bought my last Digicam, it used SD cards. That left me with a camera that used CF and now... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~232534347396 Mon, 22 May 2006 20:55:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_232534347396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_232156466820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - First, if you are here, you most likely have reviewed, and are aware of the specifications of this camera. but if you are like me, what do those specs translate into for real life usage? If you are one of those individuals that likes to take manual... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~232156466820 Sat, 20 May 2006 13:52:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_232156466820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191250730628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I have had mine for about 6 moths now. I have a variety of pepper mills, and like to pick up the odd looking or functioning pepper mill every now and then. This one caught my eye one day, and so I own it now. It basically has a spring loaded plunger... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191250730628 Wed, 27 Jul 2005 15:55:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191250730628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182827323012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I am not sure if this is the exact same one I have, but I would guess they are close in most aspects except case design from what I have seen. Basic - these are "Atomic" clocks that receive a radio signal from Ft. Collins Colorado that sync's the time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182827323012 Tue, 10 May 2005 21:10:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182827323012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155039338116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - The Good: Volume control makes hearing a breeze, reception is clear over most of my 1 acre. Small foot print of base (mine sits on a stereo speaker). Built pretty good, this one has taken countless spills on the ceramic tile without ill effects.

This USB adapter seemed like a good choice as it can be moved from computer to computer as people need access in the house (like my daughter, or nephew, etc.)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155033833092 Sat, 11 Sep 2004 20:05:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155033833092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155032784516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I had a DSL modem hooked to my computer, and never got on it because my wife or daughter and her friends were always on it. One day my oldest daughter (who lived half the country away) said I can stay the week with you, but I need a fast connection to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155032784516 Sat, 11 Sep 2004 19:55:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155032784516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154966265476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - We needed a smaller slow cooker for our family size now. Plus we wanted to try some new recipes and the slow cooker we had was just to large. This 2.5 quart seemed like a good size. It has a light, metal rimmed glass lid. Having the metal rim around the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154966265476 Fri, 10 Sep 2004 21:45:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154966265476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154571869828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I have had this two seasons now. After I received this it took about an hour or less to assemble it. The leg assembly is the hardest part to assemble. Basically it is 3 legs with a ring to hold a 20 pound propane tank, regulator, fan assembly and burner... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154571869828 Mon, 6 Sep 2004 18:39:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154571869828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154482740868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - This TV replaced a 21 year old Toshiba (19 Inch). Quite an upgrade for the price.

I even had periodontal surgery about 10 years ago, but the battle continues. Three years ago I bought an Oxyjet oral irrigator. I thought the rotating jet action along with the oxygenated water would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150399848068 Wed, 4 Aug 2004 20:40:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150399848068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149662895748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I used a regular mouse for years, until I developed CTS. Since I am a programmer, I use a mouse hours a day, along with a keyboard. My CTS was causing me wrist pain only in my mouse wrist (right for me) at the end of each day. Looking for a solution I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149662895748 Thu, 29 Jul 2004 23:53:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149662895748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136216743556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - After my upteenth blender burned up, we decided to try to get a "good" one. Oster 6700 was what we decided on. We got it Christmas 2003. First let me say mine has a separate blade unit from the lexan jar. I have had no leakage at all with this blender... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136216743556 Fri, 9 Apr 2004 16:11:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136216743556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136214384260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I used a regular mouse for years, until I developed CTS.

OK to be truthful I set a bag of groceries on the toast lever, not allowing it to turn off, and it fried itself to death. So into the stainless and retro kitchen, my wife thought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~103844580996 Sun, 22 Jun 2003 23:33:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_103844580996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_103829507716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - My old bread machine, many years, hundreds of loaves of bread, failed.

Specially now in the fall/winter with the oak trees dropping leaves in the pool everyday. It pretty much gets every inch of the pool clean, except the steps... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~52993494660 Wed, 16 Jan 2002 13:23:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_52993494660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_52991463044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - I have been on a hunt for the best coffee maker for me. I have ran the batch, Drip (5 or 6 units) French Press (pretty dang good) but more work, Expresso, etc. I have been avoiding the percolator because a "real coffee drinker" does not use them because... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~52991463044 Wed, 16 Jan 2002 13:06:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_52991463044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_33350979204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fofa - My company has been using Ceridian services for Payroll and HR for over 15 years.
