Sat, 26 Feb 2005 17:01:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - Let's be honest, I bought this machine for the price and the Toshiba name. Well, let's be brutally honest, I bought this computer for the price alone. That it had the Toshiba name only kept me from buying a no-name system. I knew it was a compromise...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - There is nothing like paying $20 - $30 for a product that in its prime cost hundreds. Well, as long as it still does the job, it's a bargain.

The best digital book reader that money can buy!

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 12:34:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - Why would a four year old palmtop still sell for more than $50 on Ebay? Because it still does what it was designed to do, and it does it very, very well! When the Handspring Visor Edge debuted, it was one of the thinnest, lightest, and best looking...

I needed a reboot to fully appreciate THE MATRIX RELOADED

Mon, 19 May 2003 16:10:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - After viewing this movie for the first time, and not having seen the original in nearly four years, my initial impression was "yuck!".

I was not truly mobile until the Stowaway Portable Keyboard!

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 19:10:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - Finding the right portable computing device has taken me years. I was an early adopter of the Newton Message Pad, a late adopter of the Toshiba Libretto laptop, and lately a reluctant convert to the Palm platform. I will not truly be satisfied until a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - Living a paradox

Quakers survive and thrive, according to A QUAKER BOOK OF WISDOM

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 01:15:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - Query: What if Quakers today numbered in the millions, and not in the thousands?

Well, the world would be a vastly better place! There would at least be no doubt about whether we have enough everyday heros. Before I go on, there must...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infoscott - If Noah's bagels grew on the Tree of Knowledge, I would have been tempted.
