Could have replaced it with an (essentially) identical SB5101, but figured it would be better to be prepared for the future with a Docsis 3.0 modem.Docsis... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~488219643524 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:20:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_488219643524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_478417882756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - This is an old review, updated 1.5 years after originally written:*** Old stuff ***I had about 25-30 pine/fir trees to cut down, trim and cut into firewood in the mountains of Colorado.

And who wants to spend $300+ on a Vita-Mix? This one is rated well and has plenty enought power to make smoothies with ice and frozen fruit.Pitcher is a good size... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457728822916 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:47:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457728822916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_456480886404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - Looks good, works well. Just got it today, no way to judge reliability yet. But read below about the jumper setting to save yourself some time and hassle.Especially if you have Macs, you'll like the styling of this enclosure.

This fit the bill perfectly. Installation of the drive into the enclosure and subsequent connection to my Mac through USB was totally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454804606596 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 03:27:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454804606596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_446038118020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I always thought the reason for buying an electric razor was (in part) not having to buy razors all the time. The way I do my calculations, over the life of the cutters you'll pay just about as much for cleaner as for a new razor if you follow the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~446038118020 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 00:00:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_446038118020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_445193031300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I was looking for some shoes to use while hiking in the Colorado mountains, where snow & mud is not uncommon. I was very impressed with the Gore-Tex liner, not even a little moisture got inside the boots even though I finally just ignored the puddles... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~445193031300 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:18:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_445193031300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431443644036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I bought this as Sam's Club for $250, used it to paint our house. The trim on the house is the same color as the body, so in that sense, it's easy to do. But the house is high and wide, so there is a lot of area and most of it has to be done on a ladder... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431443644036 Mon, 26 May 2008 02:59:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431443644036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_419712962180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I recently had a small bath to do in marble & granite tile, around 200 sq ft total. I've done many tile jobs in the past, usually I use my score-and-break tile cutter and then rent a saw on the last day to cut all the odd shaped tiles.

After reading many favorable reviews, I bought this from Amazon.com. Excellent choice.

I bought a Husqvarna 11HP blower, but when the pulley sheared... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418539802244 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 02:56:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418539802244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_304967683716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I just bought the new version of this snowblower at Lowes, the 1130SBE-XP for $1200. It looks nice, and according to the Husky web site, has the same features as the $2000 Ariens. But I guess there is a reason, actually two, for the difference.

Kingston's Ultimate line seems to be the best deal in the 133x+ speed range, I got my 1G... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224344313476 Sat, 25 Mar 2006 17:49:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224344313476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_224084004484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I like the size and shape of Apple mice (though not the horrid hockey puck that came with the original iMac years ago), so I had held off getting one with a scroll wheel until the Mighty Mouse came out. Out of the box, it definitely takes some getting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224084004484 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 01:45:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224084004484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221407776388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I make furniture for a hobby, use this sprayer probably 10-15 times a year. I bought it to replace a very good high pressure sprayer that I had been using. Partly, I wanted to hold down the dust, and partly I was irritated at wasting so much finish... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221407776388 Tue, 21 Feb 2006 02:30:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221407776388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_218313428612?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - Got this cute little device for my mother to look at photos - i.e. show her friends pictures of her grandchildren. It's perfect for that. Pop in an SD card (they are cheap now, buy a few) and look at the pictures!

(When I bought it, it was the first fast charger, but I think it's a little outdated now.) I'd put them in and within 5 minutes got a red light... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~217967398532 Tue, 17 Jan 2006 03:24:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_217967398532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214394965636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - This router looked good the day I installed it. I had no problems getting it to work with my cable modem and my Mac network. Easy to enable security and mac address filtering. After a couple of months, it completely lost all its settings and I had to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214394965636 Sat, 17 Dec 2005 19:44:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214394965636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_213465140868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - I was having some unrelated problems and decided to see if a new cable modem would fix things. I've been running with a Toshiba PCX2200 (Docsis 1.1) for a few years, has worked fine. I got the Motorola 5120 from Circuit City with a $20 rebate, was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~213465140868 Fri, 9 Dec 2005 03:38:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_213465140868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196755558020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author km21 - Looks like a great deal - charge your iPod while playing it through your radio. Easy to change the frequency - just push the up/down buttons on the front and watch the display.

Does the job real well, was easy to install. But ... It's not clear that a modulator will work for everyone.

Purchased it for $11.69 at buy.com, got it today and am very pleased. I have a small desktop tripod, but that's useful for only the occasional photo.

Works fine with USB, no go on Firewire. I tried everything, new cables, different port, etc. No luck. (Other drives work fine with the same cables and ports).
