rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - As I had owned an iPod nano 8gb model before this, I can't really be called a total Microsoft fanboy, but I'll readily admit to having a dislike for Apple. It's not so much anything they've done, but I just don't like them. Me buying anything...

The ultimate in mobile computing.

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 22:06:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - When it comes to computers, I think they're just as personal an item as jeans or shoes. What fits and suits one person is likely to be completely different for someone else, and that's part of why these reviews can be so difficult to write sometimes...

I hate Apple, but it was just so tempting...

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:34:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I am in no way a fan of Apple. The high price tags have turned me away, and the legions of arrogant Apple fanboys blaming every little annoyance on a PC squarely on Microsoft have always irritated the crap out of me. I am an extremely satisfied Windows...

Loving my Zen Micro in Kansas City :)

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 03:01:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - As I write you this review from the fabulous Kansas City suburbs, I am listening to my still new Creative Zen Micro (DHT - Listen to Your Heart in case you were wondering :-P). I bought this wonderful little device September 7th '05 up at Best Buy for...

A nice laptop, but the display stunk!

Thu, 28 Jul 2005 20:28:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I have a nice Toshiba Satellite A65-1067 laptop right now. It has plenty of power (it has a Pentium 4 under the hood), but it also draws a lot of power. In other words, the battery can barely be made to last 90 minutes on the lowest settings. Also, it...

Newegg.com: Fast shipping, great products, reviews on site, GREAT experience!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I've ordered a CPU for our church secretary's computer, and a rockin' motherboard/memory/fans/stuff like that from them. Take it from KansasJman - this is the best online store I've ordered from so far. The speed is INCREDIBLE - I ordered the CPU, and...

Tiger Direct Online Store: Generally fast shipping, and good prices, but customer service could improve.

Thu, 3 Mar 2005 23:25:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I have been a Tiger Direct customer since September 2001, and I've placed several orders with them. I ordered an MSI motherboard and an AMD 900MHz CPU as a combo. THAT was a disaster - TigerDirect's shipping was fast and I had no trouble with them, but...

SBC Yahoo: I've been very pleased with my SBC Yahoo! DSL service!

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 00:05:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I'm surprised so many people seem to dislike their SBC service. I've had it since September and have had no major problems with it since getting it - but I've also never called tech support. I ordered SBC Yahoo! DSL largely because of the price. I...

I LOVE my Samsung 17" LCD monitor!

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 19:59:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - Hi y'all! I got a brand new Samsung SyncMaster 712N LCD monitor for Christmas, so I do apologize 'cause I don't know how much it was. First off, I absolutely hate dead pixels - they're not normal, they're a manufacturing defect. So, I was very...

An excellent laptop for the average user.

Wed, 22 Dec 2004 03:48:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I went out to the "black Friday" sales at my local Circuit City to buy this laptop. I found it on sale for $700, after $300 of rebates. I found this to be a great deal, and decided to stand in the cold for almost an hour in line to get one. FIRST...

One of the best investment I've ever made for my computer.

Fri, 26 Nov 2004 02:48:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - After spilling a glass of water into my old 17" CRT monitor (what an idiot!), I needed a new one. What to buy? Well, I decided on this baby after seeing it advertised at Circuit City for $280 back in January 2003. Needless to say, I bought it, and...

Very functional, great price, and I like it a lot!

Fri, 26 Nov 2004 02:22:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I recieved this computer on Christmas, 2003 as a gift. I believe the cost was $600, after several hundreds of dollars of rebates from Best Buy. No, I didn't ask how much it cost, I picked it out in the store circular :-). I turned on my laptop, and so...

SimCity 4 For Windows: Not great at all; in fact, not even average.

Sun, 23 Mar 2003 23:04:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - Please note that I have the fastest computer on the block. I have an Intel P4 2 GHz CPU, with 512 megs of ram, a 120 GB hard drive, 64MB Radeon 7500 video card, a SoundBlaster 512PCI sound card, and many other nice things. I sat waiting forever for...

This is by far one of the best phones I've ever used.

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 00:07:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I saw this item on sale at Best Buy for $8. Sure enough, a complete returned item was available for $5. Needless to say, I went for the $5 item. I pity the fool that took this phone back!

Let's get down to business; if a phone dosen't have...

I don't care about the Talking CID; just give me good reception!

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:59:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I bought this phone on Eba----whoops! I mean, a 'leading online auction site', for $32 with shipping. Mine is an HS-8270, the same thing, but with a headset included. Overall, it has failed to meet expectations, and had since, "gone to the happy...

A super phone for $15.

Tue, 24 Dec 2002 13:12:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - My old phone from the early 90s finally broke down last week. I needed a new phone, but I was fairly discriminating. The only features I was interested in were good sound and good ergonomics. So, I bought this phone at Wal-Mart for $15. I have so far...

Northwestern Bell 900MHz (39230-4) Phone: What do you expect for $7?

Mon, 2 Dec 2002 22:55:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - This is a cheap phone. I bought this one at Circuit City for $17, minus the $10 rebate. I've owned it for about a month now.

Let's get down to business - the phone I have uses the same circuitry as this one but is styled differently, kind of a...

GE 27390GE3 Cordless Phone (27930GE3): The little phone that couldn't.

Sun, 10 Nov 2002 10:57:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I bought this phone at Best Buy for $50 one day, and it went back within a week. Following is why.

This phone does have some attractive features - it's got a good machine built in, you can operate the answerer from the cordless phone, the...

Stay away - for your own good.

Sun, 27 Oct 2002 13:36:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - I was working with a tight budget 3 years ago on the fateful day I bought this camcorder. I paid $360 for it with a 10% coupon at Best Buy.

It worked OK for about 3 months, but a mere week after the 90 day warranty expired, the whole audio...

This is a super phone!

Mon, 7 Oct 2002 00:03:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - After going through a nightmare with a cheap BellSouth phone, I was very skeptical about this one. I didn't need it, but I'm very picky (my other answerer's light was too bright), and decided to just give it a shot. I didn't expect to keep this phone,...

Good overall.

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 19:12:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - Well, we got these radios last Christmas, and have used them for about 10 months now. They are very lightweight, and have a great fit and finish on the radios themselves. The rechargeable batteries are very nice as well, and there's a minimal amount of...

Very good.

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:55:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - This has been a great cordless phone. I've had it for about a month. While it's been discontinued, many people on online auction sites still list them for sale at about $15 - $20 total, including shippping. When you do buy this from whoever is selling...

Go for it! It's great!

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:42:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - We have used this phone a lot in the past four years. Back then, in 1998, our old '93 cordless phone's battery died for the fourth time, and rather than pay $15 to replace it, we decided to get a new 900 Mhz model. After shopping for a while, we bought...

Great phones, but some nagging problems.

Sat, 14 Sep 2002 12:33:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kansasjman - We bought these phones last June to replace our aging, 12 year old corded phone and answerer. We paid $150 at Best Buy for these.

So far, they've been great for us! Reception is very good, however, I can't say much for the ease of use - a...
