rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kdragon - I had a relatively cheap 5.1 Altec Lansing speaker setup connected to my computer, but after rearranging some furniture I found that I didn't have a place to put the rear speakers. I decided to look for a nice and simple 2 speaker setup to make my desk...

Great, but NOT Perfect

Fri, 1 Dec 2006 22:31:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kdragon - I have owned a number of wireless mice, including the Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer and the Logitech MX610. The Wireless Intellimouse is simply awful--heavy and incredibly "laggy." The MX610 is nice, but it exhibits some "wake up" time...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kdragon - I've been looking for a nice arm band case for my iPod nano to use while running and working out at the gym. In general, I think this case was well designed, but it's not the perfect case for me. I like a lot of things about the case. The nano is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kdragon - My parents have cable modem broadband, but the only cable jack in the house is located in the family room. I installed a wireless router there a few years ago, but wireless connectivity has always been limited on the second floor of the house. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kdragon - I recently bought an iPod and at about the same time my Sony Twin-Turbo earphones, which have served me well for the past 7 years, completely died. I started looking for a replacement that was small, comfortable, and portable with good bass response. I...

I've owned the Canon S300, Canon S110, and now I own the Canon S200. I bought the S300 when it came out last year because I wanted a small camera, but I switched to the S110 because although the size difference looks small on...

My friend recently purchased a DSC-P5 to replace his DSC-P1 and I've had the opportunity to use both on quite a few occasions. I liked the DSC-P1 when he first got it last year and I was tempted to buy one, but the price ($799) kept me...
