I still use it daily because it's a low-overhead (doesn't eat up memory) bookreader/word-processor for my PalmOS handheld. It is integrated with Landware's keyboard for such relics as the Palm Vx... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~199138315908 Sat, 8 Oct 2005 23:11:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_199138315908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196939058820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I purchased a used Margi Display to Go card on eBay and added it to an older Windows 2000 system (450MHz Celeron, 256MB). I got an error during installation but found the patch readily available on Margi's site. It seems that subsequent Windows... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196939058820 Fri, 23 Sep 2005 18:43:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196939058820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196721217156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I have had good luck with Viewsonic products in the past and didn't hesitate to buy this model a GoodGuys. I purchased too quickly however, because I did not try it with a standard analog cable TV or broadcast signal. Unfortunately, the image quality is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196721217156 Tue, 20 Sep 2005 17:05:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196721217156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195981971076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I've had two Treo 180s over the last 2.5 years. The flip covers on both broke off after about a year. You can get replacements, but they're a bit overpriced depending on how the bidding goes. The B/W screen is fine and conserves battery power compared... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195981971076 Mon, 12 Sep 2005 16:08:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195981971076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195980922500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I have only tried out the VGN-T350P at the store, but only a couple of minutes of typing made me wonder if I could ever get used to the keyboard. The device generally seems very well designed for the size and the designers have made a good set of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195980922500 Mon, 12 Sep 2005 15:55:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195980922500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183683616388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - My criteria for purchasing a receiver was 100W/channel, decent quality in the $200-3xx price range in excess of 15 lbs (not cheap crap), with phono inputs and other basic I/O. I was about to buy the HK3480, but was advised against it by a musician friend... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183683616388 Wed, 18 May 2005 18:38:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183683616388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183680994948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I ordered an Onkyo receiver for which Vann's had the lowest price, their site worked well, I got the receiver very quickly for ground-shipping, and have had no problems with the unit. I had noticed Vann's for a couple of years and considered them a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183680994948 Wed, 18 May 2005 18:10:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183680994948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180472024708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I read a lot of reviews of these headphones before I bought them and I agree with most of them. These headphones are a great value and have good sound. They are not meant for jogging and they're not terribly styling. They are comfortable except when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180472024708 Tue, 19 Apr 2005 01:38:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180472024708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178098507396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - The item listed by Epinions is over 5 years old. The current crop of Enfish products have probably come a long way. The tracker is still a big part of what it does and I'm amazed at the speed and accuracy of the results. Enfish Find indexes your data... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178098507396 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 12:29:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178098507396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178097458820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I started buying from Computer Geeks because they are within driving distance for me, they offer a Will Call option, so I figured that I could always return the item in person if I was not satisfied--a nice option with an online dealer. I've never had to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178097458820 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 12:12:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178097458820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177484435076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I'd recommend this monitor for general web browsing and home use, but not to look at for 8 hours a day. Choosing a monitor is a VERY MUCH a matter of personal preference. I highly recommend that you test drive this monitor before purchasing. I saw so... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177484435076 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 17:03:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177484435076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177483058820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I bought a Samsung SyncMaster 910T. It arrived within 2 days of placing the order with my choice of free ground shipping, so response was excellent. Ebuyer's price was the best, shipping was free, and they did not charge me state taxes. However, their... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177483058820 Tue, 22 Mar 2005 16:49:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177483058820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159514463876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - Other reviews on Epinions cover the technical details more than adequately. From a user perspective, this player is well worth the $80 I paid for a refurbished unit directly from IRock. It works flawlessly, uses very little power, loads rapidly, and is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159514463876 Mon, 25 Oct 2004 21:54:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159514463876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159511776900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I ordered three items from Provantage because they had the lowest price for one of them (a 17" LCD). I received two of the items within 5 days and the LCD item within two weeks. The prices were good, I paid no taxes, the shipping was reasonably priced... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159511776900 Mon, 25 Oct 2004 20:50:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159511776900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_159510072964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - Surprisingly, very few external keyboards include a touchpad although it is arguably an important ergonomic feature. Your thumbs are in just the right place to take advantage of it. Adesso's approach is different than what you will find on notebook... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~159510072964 Mon, 25 Oct 2004 20:19:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_159510072964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158960291460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I searched high and low for a small notebook with everything I needed and no more. My criteria was: 1.7 GHz Centrino or better 2MB L2 cache 60 GB 5400 RPM hard drive or better 512MB RAM or better 4 lbs or less Excellent battery life Full keyboard... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158960291460 Wed, 20 Oct 2004 15:05:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158960291460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158870441604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I recently purchased a Dahon Boardwalk 6 in order to bike while traveling. Airlines started charging $80 to take a full-sized, boxed bicycle, which is an expensive hassle. The Dahon Boardwalk is the least-expensive alternative to a full-sized bike... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158870441604 Tue, 19 Oct 2004 20:25:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158870441604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120926867076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jarednc - I purchased a $500 refurbished IBM computer from Tiger Direct and was promised recovery disks (OS) by a sales rep. The shipment did not include the recovery disks and I immediately complained. I received false promises from them that they would have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120926867076 Fri, 5 Dec 2003 21:32:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120926867076?linkin_id=8003929
