Sounding good...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I recently purchased the CS400i as the center channel in a system made up of Polk Rt55i's for the mains, Polk f/x500i's for the surrounds and a Velodyne VA-1250x subwoofer.

The CS400i is very smooth, blending in nicely with the RT55i's...

Hot enough for ya?

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I bought this player over a year ago simply because of the hidden menu (which I was able to access) that allowed you to play DVD's no matter what region they were intended for. Little did I realize I would never run across a DVD from outside Region 1...

Dell Inspiron 5000e Series: Why didn't I get one a long time ago?

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 13:01:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I've held back on buying my own laptop for a long time now, relying instead on my multiple tower systems at home and using an employer-supplied "laptop" on business trips. I got so frustrated with my company laptop that I quit carrying it. "Give me an...

Static free and lovin it!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I was looking to replace my old VTech cordless phone (Model 1920) with something newer and smaller. Those of you that have had experience with the circa. 1996+ VTech's know how bulky those handsets are. A great phone, but in need of a diet...

Trouble free recording

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - A few months ago, I decided that I had WAY too many IDE devices in my computer and was running out of system resources (IRQ's) for everything. I'm not too keen on USB devices yet so SCSI seemed the best way to go.

When CD-R's came on the scene...

Nokia 8890 GSM Cellular Phone: Replacing my 6190

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 18:34:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I saw this phone at my GSM provider (Powertel) last week. I knew it was time to upgrade from my 6190. I picked up my 8890 4 days later, swapped the SIM from my old phone to my new and powered it up...

Let me back-track just a bit, first, I...

A mouse that lights up?

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 14:54:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I was out shopping one day at the office supply store and saw the Intellimouse Explorer on the shelf. I wasn't really looking for a new mouse but this one looked interesting. I had also heard that the resolution (sensitivity/accuracy) of the USB mice was...

The Next Big Thing (TNBT)

Wed, 24 May 2000 02:07:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - For those of you who have read my review of the Columbia Extreme Chaos, I have added another ball to my arsenal, the Ebonite Matrix Trimax II (EMT2). A few things have changed about my bowling style since my Extreme Chaos (EC) review:

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: A great all-around printer

Fri, 19 May 2000 00:57:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - This printer is the "consumer" version of the 970cxi that has already been reviewed by several individuals. By "consumer" I mean available through the regular retail channels like BestBuy, Office Depot, Buy.com, etc.

Ebonite Skull: Attention getter

Thu, 18 May 2000 15:34:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - As a right handed bowler, I have difficulty getting my strike ball to *consistently* cover a 10-pin spare. When I miss, it is usually just by maybe 1 or 2 boards at the most. But... it's missing those spares that can kill an otherwise great game.

Columbia Extreme Chaos: Solid hitter

Tue, 16 May 2000 15:27:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I purchased this ball to complement an Ebonite Hi-Torque Tomahawk. The Tomahawk is a reactive resin ball that was a little too strong on the backend for any kind of dry condition. What I needed was something that reacted predictably on a wider range of...

It just works well

Tue, 16 May 2000 11:19:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I picked up the Nokia 6190 after changing communication providers. Previously, I was using a Motorola StarTac (VIP Series) to give you an idea of what I was used to.

The 6190 is a great little phone! The menu system is easy to navigate and...

These are THE shoes

Fri, 12 May 2000 11:01:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - If you've bowled on a regular basis before either on a league or just recreationally, you already know the benefits of having your own shoes. They fit each time, they slide predictably, and they look better than the house shoes!

What is so...

Great motherboard except for the ATA66...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I've been building computers as a hobby and professionally as well for several years. I've had experience with Asus, SuperMicro, Abit, Tyan, FIC, Micronics and Soyo motherboards. In the Slot-1 arena, the BE-6 R2 has been my favorite.

Fabulous sound for your PC

Wed, 10 May 2000 12:35:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - I have listened to several different PC speakers from Sony, Altec Lansing, Boston Acoustic, Cambridge Soundworks, etc. in search of the best. The ProMedia's ended my search. I'll start off with the negatives, since that is a very short subject:

Money well spent

Tue, 9 May 2000 18:46:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmoral - For a long time I had wanted to get a digital camera so that I could keep my personal webpage fresh and up-to-date. I initially looked at getting the C-2000 when they first came out but found the price prohibitive. Just recently, I saw the price on the...
