Best Phone I Ever Drowned....

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:13:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - ...and that was a fitting end for this poor piece of workmanship. I'll start out with my gripes and then go on with some of the better aspects of the Q: Gripes: * Poor build quality - this is my main complaint with the Q, as it caused me the most...

People, watch for the "Adverse Action Notice", then act

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:03:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - So, who reads those little mini-novels Progressive sends with your premium renewals, anyway? I never did. Until this last week... I make my payment like a good citizen and just before sticking it in the file to gather dust for the next 12 months, I...

If it didn't have lights, you wouldn't know it was on

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 03:27:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I've been wanting to build with this Antec Sonata since the first version came out. The cost kept me away, but when it was time for this last desktop build, I decided that it was time. The first thing you notice when you open an Antec case (especially...

Best value for 2007

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 02:56:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I love this thing. Two days after buying it I was ready to get another one to be the "floater" unit for visitors (I'm not giving mine up). First, you'll want to buy a 1GB SD card. These can be had for under $20 now and it will allow you to load the...

Buy this phone - lose your PDA

Sun, 19 Dec 2004 18:26:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I bought this phone so that I could not have to carry my Dell Axim PDA around any longer (which is not quite accurate - I usually left the PDA and needed the info that's on it; a big advantage to this phone). First impressions were good: nice styling,...

Panasonic PT-53WX53 53 in. Rear Projection Television: Great set for the first-time HDTV buyer!

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 04:18:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - This was our first HDTV set in the house. I'd been looking at Panasonic's little brother to this one -- the PT47WX. A 47 inch set seemed pretty big to me, since our largest was 27 inches at the time. A friend convinced me that you want the biggest you...

Big disappointment from Samsung

Thu, 6 Nov 2003 01:43:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - Here's the deal: I had already owned their 17 inch model, the 753DF. I *love* that monitor. The colors are incredible (especially the blues) and the sharpness is unmatched by anything I've ever seen in a CRT of a similar size. So the 955DF seemed like an...

What? You don't have one yet?!?

Sat, 31 May 2003 00:04:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - A friend of mine, who is ex-military, was helping with some outdoor work and pulled out his Leatherman multi-tool. I had heard of them, but never seen one up close. He was amazed that I did not own one.

It was a couple of years later that I...

Sylvania SF 150 (15 in.) Flat Panel (TFT) Monitor: Buy this LCD; Save some space, save some electricity.

Fri, 30 May 2003 04:03:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - This Sylvania LCD was my first experience owning a flat panel display. I have not been disappointed.

These displays will save a ton of space on your desk or wherever your PC is located. This one's footprint is about one foot by maybe four...

If you still have movies on tape, this is the way to go.

Fri, 30 May 2003 03:16:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I bought my unit as an "open box" special, so it had been returned. Maybe for the reasons listed under "cons", below?

Basically, this is a nice way to add DVD capability to your viewing area, while maintaining the ability to play and record...

Performance Sedan for the Family Guy.

Thu, 29 May 2003 17:03:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I bought my Stratus used, but with low miles, almost three years ago. I've really enjoyed the car; it's been one of the best I've owned and is a pleasure to drive.

Pros - first there's the roominess. Dodge uses the "cab forward" design and...

PIXAR model: lots of choices, a bit tough to use.

Thu, 29 May 2003 03:09:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I picked up a pair of these (the PIXAR models; a bit different color than the pictures) at Target on closeout for $26. We already had one pair of Motorola FRS radios and I'm happy with those, so this looked like a good deal. And it was...

EliteGroup K7S5A Motherboard: Solid Socket A Performer for a Little Moolah.

Thu, 29 May 2003 01:27:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I've now built three machines with this board, and one with the K7S5A Pro. I've been more than happy with every one of them and they are all still running strong.

One reason I like this board is that it is very affordable and you can start...

Oh, yes. It's LOVE, baby!

Wed, 28 May 2003 22:00:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I had been wanting this Klipsch setup for quite some time and a friend gave them to me for Christmas! Without a doubt, one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever received.

As soon as you unpack these speakers, you can see that they are very...

Stylish silver phone with hot blue backlighting!

Wed, 28 May 2003 03:24:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - My wireless service provider was practically begging me to get rid of my old analog phone (also a Motorola). They gave me the V120E for free if I'd update to a digital plan. Off I went...

Pros - I really like the slim contoured design of this...

Everyman's Wireless Router - 802.11B at it's finest.

Wed, 28 May 2003 02:39:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I had decided that it was time to set up the home wireless network and I started reading online reviews of wireless routers. Linksys and Netgear soon moved to the top of my list, based on features and reliability.

I started with a Linksys...

Great PocketPC PDA at a very attractive price.

Tue, 27 May 2003 16:59:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kbaxter - I needed to replace an aging PDA that ran on WinCE and was about to purchase when Dell announced that they would be introducing a new line of PDAs. So I waited.

I was not disappointed. Once I looked at the specs for the X5 (400 MHz), I saw...
