The difference is in the size and shape of these products. Construction technologies are the same. I have a couple of bikes, one of which, a 1997... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478229728900 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:09:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478229728900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_461156290180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - Since I have what amounts to a pocket datacenter in my house, and suffer from annoyingly frequent power failures, getting a generator seemed like a better solution to my power problems than a massive (and expensive!) UPS.

This isn't a business traveller's hotel. It's a trendy and romantic luxury hotel that just happens to be the closest hotel to my client in Dallas. Fortunately for me, they... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~444408565380 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:03:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_444408565380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_444212547204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - Caveat: I travel about 15 weeks a year and usually stay at hotels in the Hilton chain.Since my customer, the Kansas City Fed, moved from their old building in Downtown KC to their new facility, my usual hotel (The Hilton President) was no... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~444212547204 Tue, 9 Sep 2008 16:50:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_444212547204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_437923057284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - The Honda Fit was not the first car on our list when we started shopping for a replacement for my wife's Mustang GT. However, her reaction of "Oh, that's cute!" and a 20 minute test drive were enough to have the smallest car on Honda's lot following us... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~437923057284 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:53:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_437923057284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429830934148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - I fly. A lot. Not as much as some "serious" business travellers who may fly every week or so, but I'm on the road at least 12 - 15 times a year, mostly crammed into the March through August period. Every two or three weeks I'm in the air, so I've had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~429830934148 Tue, 13 May 2008 01:31:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_429830934148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429563809412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - Contrary to the title heading, the Icom IC-R3 is not a two way radio.

Compared to others on the market it wasn't especially expensive (and is even less so now), it looked cool with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428706270852 Sat, 3 May 2008 21:54:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428706270852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424342752900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - I got the Sansa e280 to replace a nice, but short lived, Coby hard-drive player (Reviewed elsewhere). I'd had a couple of hard-disk players, and wanted to go solid state for faster response and better battery life. The little Sansa player had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424342752900 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:35:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424342752900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421978410628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - Caveat: This is a Business owned laptop with a company modified Windows installation, including enterprise "stuff" that doesn't come on the normal build.

This multi-function tension based exerciser is a great alternative to the more widely known and much more expensive Bowflex. Recently (late 2007) I've seen a Crossbow on sale... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421116546692 Thu, 6 Mar 2008 18:53:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421116546692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420993142404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - Like a lot of people, I have a ton of electronic devices that use IR remote controls. Between the DVD player, the stereo, the TV and the Satellite TV controls, I can wind up using several of them in the course of a few minutes.

Since I often carry a lot of electronics (up to three laptops and assorted peripherals), and airline... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420831661700 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 16:31:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420831661700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420730408580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - I've got the R1100R model from 1997. With minor changes until the R1150 replaced it, the R1100's were pretty much the same over their production run. I got my R used from a known source to satisfy my wife's desire to do a bit of touring on something... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420730408580 Mon, 3 Mar 2008 21:22:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420730408580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420724248196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - First, a moment of background. I have a Shoei head. Historically, the shells of the Arai helmets didn't fit me anywhere near as well as the Shoei's did, so I'd always purchased Shoei helmets. At a motorcycle show a while back, I was shopping for a new... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420724248196 Mon, 3 Mar 2008 20:33:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420724248196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_402569793156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author live4java - I have a lot of computers and networking equipment in my home, and most of them are have a UPS to deal with the occasional power failure.

My wife's requirement was Speech Enabled Directions so it could tell her how to get where she needed to go without having to look at the screen.
