Nice little camera for the price, but could be better

Fri, 2 Oct 2009 12:24:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - Saw this on sale at the auto parts store, so I got it for our big Envoy XL SUV to help with backing up since it is such a long way to the back...like looking into a tube with seats. The camera mounts to the license plate using the existing...

Lots of great features offered, but not so great execution

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:44:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I picked this unit up from Wal-Mart admittedly from their clearance shelves, but was hopeful that it would be a nice upgrade. It had all the features I was looking for: HD radio, and many different inputs. I was very impressed that it had not...

Great handheld GPS for the price

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 14:21:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - First off, The Magellan Meridian Color is a great handheld GPS. It is small, waterproof (so they say) and shows everything in vibrant color. The screen is a good size, but not as large as more modern, in-car navigation systems. This is due to its...

A very versatile and slim power adapter

Fri, 9 Dec 2005 17:38:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I purchased the Targus 120W ChargeSource (Model #PAPWR300U) to power my IBM T23 while out of town after being fed up with having to stow a separate AC and DC adapter in my carry-on laptop bag. The Targus adapter allows me to power up my laptop from...

Belkin Wireless G USB (F5D7050) Network Adapter: Gets you up and going on the cheap, but that's it.

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 01:18:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - [Revised 01-Aug-05] I got the F5D7050 simply because it was so cheap after rebates ($25-$20=$5). Plus, I've had good luck with Belkin products in the past, so I felt it was a good thing to take a chance on. The unit is light and small, but a...

A very versatile and powerful board for the value

Mon, 18 Oct 2004 12:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - Well I finally broke down and decided to relegate my old AMD K6-III system to has-been status when I found this board on sale with a rebate at TigerDirect (lots of good deals, check 'em out!). The Soyo SY-P4i865PE Plus Dragon 2 had all of the...

A good bread-and-butter card

Tue, 31 Aug 2004 13:37:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I use all different brands and card types, so I can't say anything that sets the Viking apart from the others. It is a good, reliable card with fair read/write times for the casual photo shooter. I'm using this in a Vivica 3735 digital camera (see my...

Lexmark, if you're reading...THINK INK!

Mon, 2 Aug 2004 00:43:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I got this printer as a bundle with a digital camera (see Vivicam review) so I expected little from it when it arrived. Setup was quick and easy, and the software enabled the media card slots with no problem. The slots work even if the printer is...

The easy way to get a 3-megapixel camera

Fri, 9 Apr 2004 15:26:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I had been looking for an inexpensive 3 megapixel camera for some time and after having some good experience with a Nikon Coolpix 885 at my workplace, I wanted something similar but without the $300 price tag. Along came TigerDirect.com (lots of...

In a word? Convenient! Easy! Fast!

Tue, 20 Jan 2004 12:41:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - While Epinions splits up all the different FujiFilm Drives separately, it's really just a family of drives having different capacities to suit one's needs (and budgets). The 32MB and 64 MB drives are only USB 1.1 compatible, resulting in slower...

Throwin' in my two bits...it's been good to me

Tue, 13 Jan 2004 19:09:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I've had my WGR614 router for about a month now and I'm now getting around to writing about it. After reading some of the other owner's plights and applause, I'll just plow on ahead with what I've experienced. First, I bought it with a WG511...

Wow what a great phone!

Wed, 6 Nov 2002 16:59:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I've had this phone for about two weeks now and there are still many features I'm still learning about. Where should I start?

Well for starters, it is small and light...86 grams (3.03 ounces) with battery and easily pocketable. I know...

Sprint TouchPoint 2100: Great Sprint phone...wish the service was as good!

Tue, 8 Oct 2002 16:39:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I bought this phone to replace an old Sony model that broke after four years. Predicting a lot of car use, I was delighted to get such a feature-laden phone for the price. It was small, light, and provided many nice features such as: voice dialing...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Washington/Baltimore: Long time user

Tue, 8 Oct 2002 16:02:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jdmccright - I've been a Sprint PCS user almost since their inception in 1997. Where they have service, it was excellent in clarity and dropped calls are few and far between. But to get the best service, shop around for a good phone capable of receiving and...
