rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I decided to replace my Fuji MX-1200 with something more up to date and with a higher pixel count. With very little research (but backed by a liberal return policy) I settled on the Nikon CoolPix 3200. It's got 3.2 megapixels, and comes with 16...

Compact, Affordable, Gets the Job Done

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I've been teaching a computer class and prefer to run my presentations, etc. on my own computer. Bringing my desktop quickly became tired and my hand-me-down 200 MHz notebook computer was too slow and getting somewhat unreliable. I went shopping for a...

More useful that I expected

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - A USB drive is a pocket sized gadget with a USB plug on it. You plug it into a USB port on your computer and your computer thinks its a hard drive. From there you can drag and drop files to it, put it back in your pocket, and later retrieve the files on...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - My Radio Shack DX-351 finally bit the dust. It still works but the speaker sounds very distorted. But what to replace it with? I was in a local store that sells hardware, car parts, and toys and spotted the jWIN JX-M14 in the radio aisle. It was...

You'll miss the picture for sure.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I owned one of these cameras for less than one day so it's hard to remember the specifics, but in a nutshell:

Unlike any other digital camera I've ever seen, it has a manual exposure system. Not creative control, just bare survival: sunny,...

Payless ShoeSource Online Store: You get what you pay for, sometimes more... and on time.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I've been a customer of Payless.com since they opened their digital doors.

I've always liked Payless shoe stores because they have a good selection at good prices. This is even more true for Payless.com because they usually have a shoe in...

A good jump start on Japanese.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - The full Pimsleur Japanese language program is three courses -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced -- each consisting of 30 lessons. Each course costs around $250.

The product being reviewed here consists of the first 8 lessons of the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - First of all, I'm coming at this book perhaps from a different angle than most people. I didn't buy this book to read to my now 17 year old son, but rather for myself.

I run a web site about Japanese geta, the so called "clogs" in the book,...

Definitely not Kansas

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - The first time I went to Japan, I worried about spending most of my time in Tokyo. The second time I visited Japan, I worried I wouldn't have enough time in Tokyo.

Tokyo is crowded, noisy, confusing, clean, and doesn't have to be expensive...

Just like home

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - The first time I went to Japan the flight was scheduled to arrive at Narita airport at 5 PM. I predicted that after 16 hours in the air, a possible late arrival, immigration, customs, and money changing, I'd be too tired to try to get to Tokyo and figure...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I got mine at a local "odd lot" type of store for $3.99. I bought it to keep in my glove compartment for the days I want to take a walk with entertainment and have left my MiniDisc player at home.

FM: Monophonic. It's got earbuds for both...

Lost in the shootout against my MX-1200

Mon, 23 Dec 2002 00:05:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I decided to buy another digital camera. My 2 year old MX-1200 works great, but suddenly one digital camera in the house is not enough. (see my review of the MX-1200)

Being happy with my Fuji I decided to look there first: I figured I'd...

Everything I need, but I don't play games.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - This is my second eMachines. I bought my first 3 1/2 years ago. Now in late 2002, a 333 MHz Celeron with Windows-98 just doesn't cut it with the current crop of software and peripherals. The 333 is still in use, but we're using it to learn our way around...

Obsolete? Not this year!

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 22:20:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I've had my MX-1200 nearly 2 years. When I bought it I had read all the reviews about poor pictures, battery life measured in minutes, and the world of experts was starting to say that 2 megapixels was probably not enough even for casual photography...

A nice $100 printer

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author georget99 - I bought the Canon S330 to replace a 6 year old HP-600C. I picked the Canon over similarly priced HP's and Lexmarks: 1. to try something different, 2. the $7.00 black ink cartridge.

I am quite pleased with the printer. It's photo printing...
