nice printer

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 12:04:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - Using the correct supplies with the XJ8C , I haven't seen anything other than a _really_ expensive colour Laser printer look better.

If it wasn't for the cost per page and the fact you have to order the photo-colour cartridge from the manufacturer,...

not worth my hard earned money

Sat, 6 May 2000 21:25:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I loved the previous Intellimouse - it fit beautifully in my hand, tactile feed back was superb, ergonomically super. Bothmy home and office use forced hot air heating, so the environments tend to be a bit dusty. When this mouse came out I went right...

Camalots are the first ones I grab off the rack.

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 10:44:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I engage in all types of trad climbing, from short one pitch craggging, long Grade III free climbs, and multi-day alpine routes. I have not used

the Camalots for aid climbing.

These cams are fully functional, have held quite a few falls, and...

completely satisfied

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 10:36:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I have had this harness for about four months and I am completely satisfied with it. Although it does not have adjustable leg loops it does

have a nylon stretch cord near the crotch. This comes in handy for extra layers of clothes; but what is...

Nebula: good design and quality

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 10:29:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - This is a great little tent. Very well designed except for one little thing: If you attach the fly loops to the pole ends like the instructions tell you to, it is impossible to get the fly tought. However, if you simply stake out the fly loops, there is...

A Great Camera for a Great Price!

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 02:14:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - In all, this is an excellent camera. The features and picture quality far outweigh the speed, which I see as the camera's only real shortcoming. Agfa even includes a charger and a set of NiMh batteries with the camera. I bought this camera for $330...

decent bike...but a little on the expensive side

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 15:22:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - The cannondale Super V line is not so bad, like the Trek, Klein, Schwinn S-works lines (all amount to expensive seat post suspensions only). But the head shock is not as good as a K2 crosslink with smart shock. the crosslink is a single shock, electronic...

hard to beat this board!

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 15:07:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - Burton's quality...the board is good all around for the small bumps in the Midwest...If I were to head to tougher hills and bigger snow I might get something more freeridish, but this thing hangs with them all...Kicks a**...This is a definite buy if you...

nice car

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 14:58:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I rented a 4 cyclinder car with almost 20K abusive miles (someone ripped off the vanity mirror and the sides were dented). It had lots of pep, could climb 6% grades with ease, it was quiet, smooth and I got over 30 MPG. A 4 cyclinder Grand Am/Alero is a...

great for tall campers

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 14:50:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I do like this bag, it's roomy but not big, and well designed. I compared it to a TNF bag (I don't recall the model, it was 2 yrs ago) when I bought, and this one fit my body much better, and was lighter to boot. It's a great bag for warm temps, and...

decent bag

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 14:41:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - The Kelty Clear Creek 0 (zero degree) bag is a fairly decent sleeping bag, as long as you don't need to use it at zero degrees. Like many modestly priced bags, the temperature rating is, well, overly optimistic. Maybe a 20 or 25 degree bag, but don't...

exceeds the competition

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 10:15:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - Over the years I've owned at least one of every generation of SB and have been impressed with every iteration.

The latest series by far the best, and I perhaps waited a little too long to pick it up, I waited so long I got it incredibly cheap at $69...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: clear picture, excellent monitor

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 10:08:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - This is an overall great product. I have had absolutely no problems with it over the past 4 1/2 years. This monitor however must be cleaned frequently for best performance. This is not your top of the line monitor now adays, but it gets the job done, and...

not for lefthanders

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 10:01:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - This is the smoothest mouse I have ever used, and I can't live without it now. I use a lot of computers besides my home one, and now every other mouse I use gets me a little annoyed :) The wheel scrolls so much more smoothly than any other I've tried,...

Compaq Presario 1827: beats all the competition

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 21:44:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I am very experienced with computers and I find this product an engineering masterpiece. I got rid ofmy desktop and know do all my work on the 1827. The screen is a dream!

This thing has outstanding speed and ease of use. Build quality is supurb!...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: i would recommend this to everyone

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 23:43:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - At nearly $170 less than the Sony, the Samsung is an excellent match, at only $200. It leaves the Philips(same price) far behind. A solidly built monitor, that will be loved by anyone who likes a lot of functionality Would recomend to anyone. Its the...

15yrs old and still going strong

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 12:16:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - My uncle gave me this tent about 3 years ago, after he used it for around 10-12 years. It has survived a 3-foot dump of snow, countless rainstorms, a couple of holes from errant ice axes, and 60+ mile per hour winds. I have no complaints about this tent...

solid, dependable, well-built stove

Sun, 19 Mar 2000 10:29:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - This is a solid, dependable, well-built stove. Quality materials throughout. I expect it will last as long as my Optimus 8R which is over 20 years old and going strong. The Explorer No. 11 is straight-forward to prime and light. I have run it on both...

bleh blah bloh !@(*^!

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 10:11:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - i had this player for less than a week before it became clear to me that this product was not though through well by the company. First of all, 32megs isn't enough for more than about 8 songs, or not even that. also, the cord that connects it to the PC...

Agfa SnapScan 1212p Flatbed Scanner: not my #1 choice, and i hope it isn't yours either

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 10:01:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I received this as a gift and spent too much money on direct calls to customer service. I had difficult setting up the scanner. After spending a month with customer service to no avail I was forced to return the product. Thirty days have gone by and I am...

Viewsonic A70 17" (16" Viewable) Color Monitor: average monitor with an average picture quality

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 09:55:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - Although it has a bright colorful picture, it also suffers from uncorrectable geometric distortions. Both sides instead of being straight, curve in and out as they meander to the top. Having used my PF70 (Panasonic) I was somewhat displeased with the...

Lexmark Color JetPrinter Z51 InkJet: useless for color

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 09:50:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - In contrast to others' experiences, mine works most of the time on a USB connection but does crash occasionally. Mechanically, it looks like a nice machine and with sharp prints this could have been a good printer, if only the driver could access the...

never had any problems with my sl-mc6

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 22:48:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I recieved my CD changer as a gift for christmas 2 years ago. I have not had any problems with it since I took it out of the package. It produces good sound quality, and has many features. For one, you can punch in the name of each cd and each song...

excellent tent

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 21:03:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - Should be available for much less than $190US if you shop around. Excellent value for the money. This is one of the largest two man tents around with two useful vestibules. Setup is relatively easy. The included stuff sack is much too large. The fly...

mIRC: great for beginners and advanced irc`ers

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 20:41:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author linux_b0y - I have been using mIRC for around 4 years now, and I love it. It is very simple to use and has a wide array of options to tinker with. There are also a lot of scripts out there that make it even more enjoyable to use. With mIRC you can run a file...
