It has been a few years since I last went shopping for a digital camera, and while I was still happy with my Canon PowerShot S50, I was starting to feel limited by its lack of external flash capability.  I was still using my old Nikon film gear for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475082428036 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:19:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475082428036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474976063108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - Recently I published a review of Apple's MacBook Air, which I purchased just over two-weeks-ago.  In that review I discussed that model's severely restricted feature set, its lack of connectivity and how I (or you) can overcome those... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474976063108 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:57:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474976063108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474875661956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - The MacBook Air has always been a very strange animal.  It's definitely a member of the ultraportable laptop class due to its 3lb weight and razor-thin profile, but it is actually on the small end of the conventional thin-and-light class in the key... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474875661956 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:05:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474875661956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461580177028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 -   I'll start off by saying up-front that I do not like SUVs.  Never have, never will.  For carrying four or five people and their luggage a sedan or wagon is a much more efficient tool.  For carrying bulky objects or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~461580177028 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:23:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_461580177028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457398587012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - This is my second review of Apple's new unibody MacBook Pro, the first one following limited use at the Apple Store and using the higher-end model with 512MB VRAM and the 2.53GHz processor.  I did not buy that machine, and chose instead the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457398587012 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 02:11:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457398587012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454793858692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I am predominately a Mac user.  At my small law firm all employees use Macintosh workstations, as do all members of my family at home.  Macs are wonderful machines with what I consider a vastly superior operating system.  That said, when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454793858692 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:13:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454793858692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_454745165444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - First off, let me get a little rant out of the way.  Sometime about four-months-ago I read an article about "Netbooks", and up to that point, had not seen the term.  Now, the word is everywhere.  Why not call these things what they are,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~454745165444 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:13:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_454745165444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452600237700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I have owned this watch since 1986, and other than the coloring and some minor stylistic changes over the years, it remains essentially the same rugged sports watch that Tag Heuer introduced in 1984 as the worlds first quartz analog chronograph.  I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452600237700 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:59:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452600237700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452508094084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I received this watch as a gift on a special occasion.  It is my fourth Heuer (3rd Tag) and is the most in every category.  Most, as in most size, most weight, most functions, most attractive, and of course, most expensive.  This... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452508094084 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 06:09:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452508094084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452208397956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - The iMac was not made for me.  I am a power user, someone who plays around with virtual machines, encodes videos in the background while writing legal briefs and doing online research.  I like tinkering inside a desktop computer as time goes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452208397956 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:54:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452208397956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452029091460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I bought my PowerEdge 840 more than two-years-ago and the best thing I can say about it is that I have nothing to say about it.  Of course, for a server that is very high praise.The PowerEdge 840 is an entry-level server that only has a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452029091460 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:22:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452029091460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_452018015876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - It has been many years since I've purchased a new desktop computer.  I get new laptops every other year and swap out my backup laptop more often than that, but desktops tend to last a lot longer.  My last desktop Mac was made in late 1999, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~452018015876 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:08:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_452018015876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_448216206980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - When the MacBook Pro was introduced in 2006, many Mac fans were disappointed that looked almost identical to the PowerBook it replaced. It was a bit thinner, the screen resolution was a bit different and yes, it had the built-in webcam originally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~448216206980 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:37:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_448216206980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_448213126788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - I've been a huge fan of Apple's 12" PowerBook models for quite some time, bought three of them new, and still own one today. The 12" PowerBook, while still capable of many of the tasks we use our computers for, is definitely obsolete technology that has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~448213126788 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:58:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_448213126788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_447527620228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - *** Important Update Follows ***As I write this on the 10th of October, 2008, Apple is poised to release a new line of laptops in just four days.

From the 4-cylinder hatchbacks (MB called them coupes) to 6-cylinder wagons with all wheel drive to V8-powered AMG... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~443839581828 Sat, 6 Sep 2008 03:35:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_443839581828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_442147442308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - This review is for a machine far lower in the ThinkPad price range that I usually look at. It was, two-years-ago, the very cheapest ThinkPad available, with only Lenovo’s 3000 series consumer models costing less than its roughly $650 retail price... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~442147442308 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:25:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_442147442308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441991794308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - A while back I wrote a review on the 2001 C240 that I purchased used. 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.

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
