IPOWER Web Site Hosting: Avoid this company at all costs

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:12:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I started my website about 4 years ago and at the time did exhaustive research about which companies offered the best plans. At that time, Ipowerweb came up at or near the top of many review sites. They were a smaller, up and coming company that...

Retro feeling radio with modern sound

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 17:19:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I have owned my model one for 5 years and I am constantly moving it, using it as a resting place for various coffee cups and generally treat it roughly. Despite this it is still going strong 5 years later and I continue to love it as being practical and...

Decent projector at a budget price

Mon, 23 Jan 2006 21:42:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I originally bought this projector with work in mind. As an artist who makes painting, there are many shortcuts in laying out a canvas and projecting an image onto a canvas is one of them. Since I use the computer as a tool for initial design I thought...

Solid and fun but probably wont capture the living room yet.

Sun, 26 Jun 2005 21:30:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I recently bought a refurbished Dell Dimension 8400 for mainly business use and part of the package was the new Windows Media Center 2005. In some ways I wish it didn’t come with the media center because, of course, the new toy has to be played with...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - 1/14/06 Update - I have been without a functioning player for the past week because the dvd drive stopped spinning. Emails to Samsung have gone unanswered for a week so in a fit of desperation I pushed the slider arm that houses the laser lens into its...

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 23:11:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - 2 Years. For 2 years I have listened to my animator friends sing the praises of Wacom tablets. These guys make their living using Flash and Photoshop and Wacom tablets and I didn’t listen. “No, my mouse is great and I can’t learn to use...

Creative DDTS + Klipsch 5.1 = Heaven

Mon, 28 Feb 2005 21:43:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I'll start by saying I am not an absolute techy or audiophile, but I do enjoy dabbling at the edges of both arenas with varying degrees of interest and knowledge. I'll look at the Creative DDTS from a pretty pedestrian knowledge of the tech stuff and...

Making money? Hard. Organizing money? Relatively easy.

Sun, 30 May 2004 23:57:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - When I purchased my Dell computer in 2000 it came with copies of both Money and Quicken. After deliberating, researching and testing each for quite awhile I found myself drawn to a slightly more intuitive, easier on the eye Microsoft Money. Four years,...

You get what you pay for...for better and for worse

Sun, 9 May 2004 19:51:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - As an artist who makes his own frames, I am constantly working with my hands, using tools making things that rely on a high degree of craftsmanship. As such, I am a bit of a snob when it comes to using tools "outside" of my profession. I asked for a...

If you still do slides, you need a Porta-trace

Wed, 5 May 2004 22:49:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I am an artist, as such, slides are a necessary evil in documenting and marketing my work. Digital will soon make slides go the way of the dinosaur but until then you will need a Porta-trace. The Porta-trace is a sturdily constructed steel box with a...

Sands great, dust collector keeps it from five stars.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I had always used a Makita palm sander but a few years ago I lost my Makita and decided for a change with the Dewalt. I have always loved the look of Dewalt and had great experience with other Dewalt tools so it seemed an appropriate change. I am...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I was 8 years old when Battlestar Galactic made its television debut in 1978. Fresh off Star Wars a scant year earlier, the possibilities of an honest to goodness space epic television show every Sunday night left my young self tingling with excitement...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - Six months ago, I purchased the D-link DI-604 router for my apartment to connect our three roommates computers to a cable modem and the internet. While not the easiest installation, once installed we got relatively trouble free internet connection...

Excellent speakers but dont expect true HiFI

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 19:59:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I grew up with the Klipsch name and speakers as an integral part of my childhood hifi experience. I blew at least one pair of my dad's old Klipschorn speakers overplaying an old Eagles record or some such thing. So, when it came time to upgrade my 15...

I'm guilty, I bought this to be a better gamer.

Sat, 1 Mar 2003 13:29:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - As I sit regarding a mound of debt I am ever so slowly crawling out of and ponder the $65 I plunked down for this mouse, and realizing I bought it out of an addiction to Battlefield 1942, I wonder if I made the right choice...

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 22:02:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jasono - I wanted a radio / tuner that would be compact, relatively inexpensive and most importantly would be able to tune in a number of AM stations that are very difficult to find at the location I work at. For some reason radio signals have a hard time...
