Good for the money!

Wed, 24 Apr 2002 17:27:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - The controls are great, even with the joystick, which makes for a very enjoyable TV watching experience!

My main complaint with this product is that when I connected my DVD player up through the component inputs I kept seeing red "color...

Not a Great Buy!

Sat, 26 May 2001 16:31:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - Although Sony deserves praise for many of their high quality products, ranging from TV's to stereos to CD players, I must find fault with this particular device. My qualms with this machine are opposed to the rave reviews that many of my fellow...

Technics: Not always reliable

Sat, 26 May 2001 15:15:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - Technics has always been rated well for reliability, so I thought I'd go buy one to test it out and compare it to my other CD players. Well, I've owned it for just over a year and it is already starting to skip on every disc usually around the time I...

Not a true progressive DVD!

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 13:56:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo -

To preface my review, this DVD player is the cheapest player on the market today. I have never been a Pioneer fan because I have always felt their products looked too cheap or were loaded with a bunch of features I didn't need or want. While this...

Too bulky to use!

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 15:31:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo -

I think that the Sony DCR-TRV8 must have been tested on another primate besides humans before they put this one on the market. As far as I can tell, no human can manage to handle this unwieldy camcorder with any type of ease, let alone use it for...

Epson Phone Home: No Support!

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 17:01:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - To put it bluntly, Epson left me out in the cold. Not only did their scanner malfunction numerous times, but there are large gaping holes in the bottom of the scanner that facilitate dust access, thus ruining the scanner in a few short months. This...

A few reservations about the G1

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 15:43:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - Since everyone seems to be in love with this camera, I would like to take this opportunity to present the negative viewpoints of the camera, and thus justify why I do not recommend this camera:

CONS

-The camera cannot be turned on with...

Excellent product, but worth the price ?

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 22:04:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - Overview

First of all, I want to clarify that I do not recommend this product not only because the price does not fit the product, but because I do not believe that a VCR should break every few weeks and need constant repair to...

An Mp3 player that's not quite ready for the market

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 16:35:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - Although the Diamond may appeal to some mp3 buyers, this player was certainly not for me. First of all, I think the chief purpose of a device such as this should be ease of use in all conditions. That is to say, I should be able to play my songs on the...

Apple Power Macintosh G4 Base: The Mac for the Future

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 14:23:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - I had some doubts about buying the computer initially. However, one day my friend (who owns the computer) convinced me to buy it so I did. When my friends had doubts, I brought my computer over to their house one day to show what this machine can do...

Great CD player: Must Buy

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 16:02:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - I have heard many disparaging opinions about the HK player, like the fact that it breaks after a month and such. However, I have had ALMOST nothing but success with this particular player, and as such, I recommend it to others.

The sound is...

Dell Dimension XPS B1000: Solid Computer but worth the price?

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 18:53:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - I own three Dells and I think highly of all of them. The B-system is extremely fast and reliable and DELL's service is impeccable. As a testament of Dell's persistence to help the customer, I would call them up at random times of the day and night...

Best Mp3 player for the price

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 17:53:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - After trying other MP3 players from some of the "big guys" in the industry, I became frustrated with the cost of memory (smart media is expensive). So, I bought the least expensive one I could: The I-Jam.

This is a great MP3 player. It even sounds...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo -

I have used Paint Shop Pro (PSP) on and off since version 5, version 6 convinced me to purchasr it, and version 7 is the best one yet. It is easy to use and has a small learning curve. It's not as troublesome to use as Corel Custom Photo or...

Gateway Performance 700: Gateway tries, but fails miserably

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 14:59:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo -

Frankly, the only thing I found functional about a Gateway computer is that when you plug it in it receives power! The way I see it, Gateway is like the Saturns of the computer industry: they have nice television ads, showcasing their...

Couldn't ask for more!

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 21:25:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - After researching a number of manufacturers and models HP color inkjet printers get the best reviews, write-ups and praise from owners, including me. This is my 2nd HP inkjet printer, and I've been extremely satisfied with both. This is a fantastic...

Altec Lansing ACS 33 Computer Speakers: Well worth the price!

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 21:03:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo -

I have a dell Dimension XPS T500 which initially came with $25 Harman Kardon speakers. I decided to upgrade to the ~$60 ACS speakers and woofer because my video games needed a little extra oomph. Boy, was I happy I did! The speakers are...

Compaq iPAQ H3650 Pocket PC: What's not to like?

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 15:55:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - I went from a Visor Deluxe to the new 206MHZ Color Pocket PC, and boy is there a difference. This new system is simply AWESOME. No way will I go back. Even the little things are amazing, such as the quality of the color screen in direct sunlight.. its...

Does it get better?

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 02:19:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - The Sony is fantastic. It is very expensive, but it's features are incredible. The most interesting feature is the 3CCD(one for each color-red,green,and blue). I am also very impressed with its playback because of its progressive scan feature.

Buy this camera!

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 02:09:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - The swivel body design is what intrigued me, and after using it for 6 months now, I am sold - especially in crowd settings. I do a lot of work at parties, receptions, family gatherings, etc., taking candid photos of the event. The camera can be held...

TV. Good. Hernia. Bad.

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 01:58:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - After seven hernias getting this sucker into the house, I hooked it up and was ready to go. I used a Sony DVD player, but without component plugs ( I only have S-video cables right now). The picture was impressive, but not really what I was looking for...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - I LOVE THIS PHONE. This sturdy phone is the best cell I have owned. I have used Sony, Qualcomm and Audiovox.

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 14:22:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maddieslyo - The canon S-10 is a small, stylish little camera with big quality pictures. At 2.1 megapixel your getting some real quality in your pictures from a camera thats almost as small as an elph. You can put it in your pocket. It uses a whole range of compact...
