I drove that car for a bit less than two years and a bit less than 50,000 miles. When I sold it, it was almost seven-years-old, had 106,000 miles on the odometer, and still looked... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~441991794308 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:03:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_441991794308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424761855620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Here we go, another review of an older IBM ThinkPad, in this case the ThinkPad X23 from 2002. The X23 I&#146m playing with right now is an 866MHz model, which is as fast as they got. Mine is maxed out with 640MB of RAM, but has a smallish and slow 30GB... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424761855620 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 05:27:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424761855620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422008032900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - The Lenovo (no more IBM branding to be found) ThinkPad X300, while still marketed as part of the long-runing X-series, is actually a completely new type of ThinkPad. Part ultraportable, part conventional and part PDA, the new X300 is quite a radical... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422008032900 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:19:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422008032900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_418743422596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - This is my third review of an Apple MacBook, and follows my fifthth purchase of one. I bought one of the original CoreDuo models, and ended up replacing it rather quickly afterwards on account of overheating issues. I bought another for my business,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~418743422596 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:45:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_418743422596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408730111620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - A few weeks ago I expanded my business and found myself needing a new laptop for my new associate. I am quite happy with my current laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad T60p with a powerful 256MB graphics card, Intel CoreDuo processor, 14” SXGA screen (standard,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408730111620 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 04:30:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408730111620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407268920964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I've reviewed many older laptops here on Epinions, and many modern ones as well. For my personal use, I usually have at least two, one modern and fast, the other older and easily replaceable (meaning cheap). I also always try to make one of my machines... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407268920964 Wed, 7 Nov 2007 15:20:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407268920964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404883410564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - It has been a while since I’ve purchased a manual focus camera body, largely on account of having found bliss in my current outfit and not needing any change. I didn’t have any use or need for this particular Nikon EM, but when I saw it at the Goodwill... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404883410564 Fri, 5 Oct 2007 15:58:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404883410564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402578378372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I’ve written two reviews on the high-end T42p models back when they were cutting edge (top-range model), and when they were discontinued (low-range model), and in both cases came away highly impressed. I owned that low-range (low-range is deceptive, ALL... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402578378372 Thu, 6 Sep 2007 19:44:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402578378372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401374023300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I'll get right to the point, the Kia SPectra is an ugly car. Ugly on the outside, ugly on the inside. From curved sheetmetal that just looks frumpy to a pod-style center in the dash for HVAC and audio that looks tall, cheap and, well, ugly; I cannot... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401374023300 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 16:54:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401374023300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_390555995780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - This is my second review of an IBM X41, which makes sense as this is the second X41 that I’ve owned and is a different (lesser) configuration than my last one. Also changed is that the last time I bought an X41 it was a current model and the top of IBM’... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~390555995780 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:47:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_390555995780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_372852821636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Yes, here it is, another review of a high-end T-series ThinkPad laptop. I can’t seem to make up my mind whether I prefer ultralight or thin-and-light laptops, and so here I am back in a thin-and-light T-series ThinkPad yet again. Specifically, I bought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~372852821636 Thu, 7 Jun 2007 14:03:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_372852821636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338339008132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Three-weeks-ago I bought a 2007 Ford F-150 XL pickup truck. An even better value, if you can find what you want, is a leftover 2006, of which some do remain on dealer lots as of March 2007. I came extremely close to buying one myself. The truck I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338339008132 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 03:22:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338339008132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_334834536068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I travel frequently. Due to my work I find myself dealing with projects far enough from home that I have to fly, spend a day or two in a hotel and rent a car. Most of the time I only spend one day away from home, and try to save money by renting a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~334834536068 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 02:12:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_334834536068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_333874826884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I wrote a review earlier about the Ford Ranger, which was the top of my list for a cheap, compact truck before I decided to buy a full-sized pickup instead. The only other compact truck that I bothered to look at, and coincidentally the only other truck... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~333874826884 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 04:04:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_333874826884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_333686738564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Last week I purchased a new Ford F-150 pickup truck. Prior to buying, I test-drove many full-sized pickup and compact pickups, gradually shifting my purchase priorities from that of a truck that would get only occasional use, to a truck that would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~333686738564 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 18:30:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_333686738564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_333666750084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Last week I purchased a new Ford F-150 pickup truck.

Whether Maytag washers really are as durable as their advertising makes them out to be is irrelevant, but Toyota&#146s Camry clearly does live up to its reputation for reliability, quality,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~333255708292 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 21:52:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_333255708292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_331393306244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I&#146m a car guy. I like to drive fast. I like fat tires, powerful engines, nimble handling and quick acceleration. I am also the proud new owner of a 2007 Ford F-150 pickup truck that is definitely a &#147non car-guy&#148 vehicle. For the last 10... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~331393306244 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 01:26:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_331393306244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_322868711044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Yes, another review of a rather old laptop, in this case a 6-year-old Toshiba Portege 7200CTe. I’ve previously played with and reviewed 2 7000-series Porteges, however those were the older Pentium II powered models when they were only 4-years-old.

When I read about the new 10 megapixel PowerShot G7, I thought it might finally be time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299062496900 Sat, 30 Dec 2006 05:17:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299062496900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_298530344580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I bought my Toshiba Portege M400 tablet PC about two-months-ago, and today, I wished I hadn't. Don't get me wrong, I really like my Portege, it is fast, light, has an excellent screen and is well made. It has important features like a built-in optical... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~298530344580 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 02:00:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_298530344580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_298528771716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Under 3lbs. CoreDuo power. 8 hour battery life. It wasn't that long ago that you could have any of those features on a portable, but never two of them on the same portable. Lenovo's X60s gives you all three, while eliminating the major failings of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~298528771716 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 01:35:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_298528771716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_298511011460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I bought this monitor a few months ago for my daughter, who told me that she wanted a wide-screen like the one on the iMac we had at the office. The iMac has a 20" widescreen that is so massive that it gives up nothing in height to a conventional 19"... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~298511011460 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 01:10:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_298511011460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_298507865732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I just traded a used Mac for a used IBM NetVista A30p (Pentium 4 1.8GHz) and must say that I am impressed. Common wisdom among Mac users is that PCs lose their value quickly and aren't much good after a few years, but IBM's NetVista proves otherwise... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~298507865732 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 00:40:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_298507865732?linkin_id=8003929
