Latest and greatest from HP/Compaq

Sun, 29 Dec 2002 12:42:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I took the plunge into the Pocket PC world with the 5450 as more of an experiment. I've spent the last 10 years as a diehard Palm user. Though my usage is light -- virtually limited to looking up appointments and addresses -- I can't leave home without...

Finally - a device that surpasses the hype

Thu, 12 Dec 2002 09:33:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I've had my Sidekick for about 3 months and love it. Originally I thought it would serve only as a backup to my RIM Blackberry email pager. Surprisingly it exceeds the functionality of Blackberry in several areas. Here are my summarized pros and cons:...

My new hip buddy

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 10:18:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Truth be told the A500 is actually a backup phone for my primary service. I have found myself using the A500 more and more lately for 2 reasons. The first is that Sprint PCS' network in Connecticut where I live is pretty good and coverage is solid (yeah,...

palmOne Tungsten T Handheld: Compact, stylish and functional

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 08:29:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - The Tungsten replaces an aging Handspring as my PDA of choice. I wanted to get a new Palm based PDA for compatablity and an upgraded clearer screen.

The first thing I did was take out my old B&W Handspring and compare screens to the Tungsten...

Peachtree 2000: Former upgrade path for Peachtree users

Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:58:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - This product was supposed to offer increased functionality for those who outgrew Peachtree. The problem from the start was that Peachtree didn't design this program (it is a program they purchased called MICA). The second problem is that shortly after...

Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 Player: Great device (after a little experimenting)

Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:41:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - At first I was baffled by how this thing worked. Then I started to think of it as just another hard drive on my system -- and I've been happily loading up MP3s ever since.

You connect the Archos to your PC via a USB cord. It will support USB 2...

Nextel i85s: Best Nextel Available

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 08:56:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Moving from the i1000 plus I found that the i85 was a pleasant change.

The i1000 plus requires that you constantly change "modes" when you want to get into Direct Connect. With the i85 you enter the Direct Connect ID of the person you are...

Good billing software for smaller company

Tue, 28 Aug 2001 08:43:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - As a computer consultant, I've used Timeslips for about 4 years to bill clients. The reason I continue to use this software is that the bills it can create are so detailed that I don't have problems collecting from clients.

Let me explain -...

Nextel i1000: Sturdy Nextel Phone

Fri, 18 May 2001 11:23:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - For years I snickered at anybody who used Nextel. They'd long been dismissed as a wireless company that only caters to larger businesses. Recently I found the Nextel i1000plus for $19 at Buy_dot_com and couldn't resist giving both the phone and the...

Intuit QuickBooks 2000: One of two packages you should consider

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 09:58:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - QuickBooks is one of the two low cost accounting systems you should be looking at. (The other is Peachtree). I base my opinion not on the great functionality but on the fact that these two systems are the market leaders in the low end.

Because...

Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics: A Competitors View

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 22:06:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I am a reseller of MAS90 accounting software which is a competitor to Great Plains -- so naturally what follows is biased and you should take the comments as a starting point for your own research.

When we are competing against different...

Sage MAS 90: Great Off-The-Shelf Package

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 08:34:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I am a consultant for MAS90 accounting software, so my opinion should be biased toward this product. However I will give you the brief good/bad points with as little gushing and fluff as possible.

MAS90 is used by over 60,000 users across the...

Nice color screen

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 01:54:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Many times I think our opinions of cellular phones are based not only on how good the phone is but how good the cellular carrier is at providing solid coverage.

I am using Verizon in CT with this phone. I recently signed with them after not...

Jury is still out!

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 09:14:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - After having my 2000 Expedition for about three weeks I'd have to say the jury is still out on whether I love it or just like it.

Update 2-17-2001: Have had Expedition for almost a year. Like the ride and reliability. Hate that it has blind...

Sturdy!

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 08:56:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I've got two of these for my twins and I love them!

The best features:

a) They are very sturdy. You will be able to carry/transport them without the legs or other parts falling off (not true with some flimsy bouncing seats I've...

SNET - DSL Service

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 09:04:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Well, it has been about three weeks since SNET came out to my house in Glastonbury CT and turned on DSL service. Here are my opinions on the whole procedure:

A Snap. The only downside was the two techs who came...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Hartford: Great Value - improving coverage

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 07:50:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I had Sprint PCS service about 2 years ago but dropped it because coverage was so spotty. Recently I took advantage of their $75/1000 minute plan because it was the least expensive around.

I find the coverage in Connecticut is improving...

Daily outages, slowness - avoid this service!

Fri, 19 May 2000 11:50:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Email outage, slow web browsing response (latency), authentication failures (doesn't recognize your password when logging on). Those are the things that I've grown to really hate about Mindspring.

I was a Netcom user and have since (by...

The rocking sells this

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 23:00:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - When our twins came home from the hospital, their first "crib" was actually this bassinet. We had one of the in this model and the other in an old fashioned rigid bassinet.

The Graco Bassinet is far superior because:

a) It...

Priceline Flight Reservations: WebHouse Club - Groceries

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 23:08:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I placed two orders with WebHouse Club for Groceries. I am in the CT area and use the Stop & Shop supermarket. Their checkout is simple (one of my BIGGEST concerns about this service). You don't even need to tell the cashier you are using...

Kolcraft Double Stroller: Remember - Storage Space Is Always Needed!

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 09:37:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - I have the entry level tandem stroller by Kolcraft. The kids sit one in front of the other. I love this stroller except for one thing. The underseat storage is horrible. Don't take my word for it though, when you go to look at the store, bring a few...

Evenflo On My Way Deluxe Rear Facing Infant Car Seat: Easy In / Out - End of Story!

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 09:29:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - There is one reason why I like this car seat -- and recommend it.

It takes 1 second to get your child into the car -- and 1 second to take them out. No fumbling in the dark with seatbelts to buckle around the seat. There is a base that stays...

Stamps.com: Bye-Bye Pitney Bowes!

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 19:18:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - As someone who has used the extremely expensive (rental / supplies) home postage machine from Pitney Bowes, I was a little skeptical when I received a free trial CD ROM from Stamps.com.

I thought -- how can they do that when Pitney Bowes...

Enjoyed my time there

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 19:48:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - You know, they say your college years are the best years of your life. Well, for the first year at Bryant I thought those people who said that must have been nuts! I just remember being homesick and not at all used to living on my own.

Well,...

myTalk: You get what you pay for!

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 12:26:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mas90guru - Mytalk.com claims to be a unified messaging solution. But it doesn't unify anything unless it is sent directly to an email address at MYTALK.COM. If you are hoping to have a service that can gather up email from different POP email boxes, then I think...
