Palm Inc: Like the company and the product, hate order fulfillment.

Mon, 13 Feb 2006 17:48:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - I placed my order for a Palm Pilot at 12:30am on Thursday morning, the 9th. At 10pm on the same day, I receive an email from them saying my order shipped, and it gives a tracking number. The UPS tracking entry only says, "Billing Information Received"...

Excellent Picture Quality and 1080i Resolution. Feature packed AND lower priced than comparable LCDs/Plasmas.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Choices: CRT Direct-View Technology There are a lot of choices when it comes to purchasing an HDTV. This particular set won't be perfect for everybody, but see what it has to offer. It might be right for you. The most fundamental description...

High impact. No damage. A very cool physics toy!

Fri, 2 Jan 2004 16:50:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - UPDATE: Still gets used around the house, but not quite as often. Really is a fun toy that is great on unsuspecting new guests. The only detail I'd add to the original review is that assembly was a little tough. I'd buy it again...

Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PCI Sound Card: Bare-bones basic sound card. Great for non-audiophiles.

Fri, 2 Jan 2004 16:10:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Having worked at Creative Labs some years ago, I can tell you that this is today's bare-bones minimalist card. However, it performs all the basic functions that you'd expect from a sound card, and does them very well. It is comparable to the on-board...

A decent inflatable raft..

Mon, 5 May 2003 11:28:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - There isn't a whole lot of reviewing you can do on an inflatable raft. But here are the details which you might find helpful.

It has two chambers to be inflated. The first chamber is for the main body of the raft. The second chamber is for the...

Entry level pools, and they've dropped to a very nice price range.

Sun, 4 May 2003 08:05:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - I got crazy and decided that I wanted a pool in the back yard for friends and family who visit. Okay, and a little for myself! I wanted something that wasn't permanent so that I wasn't (for better or for worse) affecting the value of my home, and that I...

Little room for complaint.

Wed, 8 Jan 2003 03:58:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Normally, I don't echo the reviews of other users. However, the review from Coryintn was, for the most part, dead-on. After almost a year with this television, I have to say that I am quite pleased with it.

I purchased the floor model from...

Smoke Ring Gun is Good

Wed, 25 Dec 2002 23:05:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - In simple terms, this is a gun which shoots smoke rings. The device is interesting in that it has a number of controls. The first one loads the chamber with smoke. The second one controls the speed and which smoke rings leave the chamber. The third fires...

Quite a feature packed phone!

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 23:12:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Panasonic has a dizzying array of cordless phones. A quick search on here showed 24 of the 2.4ghz variety. And it can be hard to tell them apart. This phone, however, has some very distinguishing features.

It is quite similar to its big...

A decent upgrade if the top-of-the-line isn't your thing.

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 22:26:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - For starters, this is not a video card for a Quake fanatic. If you live for 3D games, you might want to seek a card with higher 3D performance.

What makes this card good is several things. It has dual monitor hardware and software support...

Kensington / Gravis Digital Photo Album: Unless this is for grandma, go for the PLUS model.

Tue, 4 Sep 2001 22:30:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Frankly, this item is completely miscategorized under computer monitors. There really should be a separate category for digital picture frames.

In any case, the Kensington Digital Photo Album provides the most basic features of a digital...

Kensington / Gravis Digital Photo Album Plus: A decent quality low-end digital picture frame.

The king of power filters

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 23:08:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - My 55 gallon tank, complete with two Oscars, four Tinfoil Barbs, and two Clown Loaches, started out with two of the high-end Top Fin power filters. They were great filters, but the level of nitrite in my tank was still out of control. Based on the...

The first "real" digital camera

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 22:28:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - At work, we had an excess budget to purchase "toys" with towards the end of 1999. A digital camera was at the top of the list, and after a great deal of research, the Olympus C-2000 Zoom came to the top of the list. It was among the very first...

Sun Enterprise 10000: What does Sun's top of the line look like?

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 10:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmccorm - Three years ago, our site was delievered one of the first Sun E10ks. Today, our site has ten of them, and I personally administrate two of these frames in a production environment. The E10k is an incredible piece of server technology. But there are pros...
