EchoStar DishPlayer 7100 Satellite System: Forget Replay/TiVo, Dishplayer kicks them both...

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 04:00:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - I had a Replay on loan for a while and it completely changed my viewing habits. I found that I couldn't really watch live TV anymore. When I had to give it back I started going into withdrawals.

At the same time I was building a house in an...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - I've owned a Palm device for years. I got a Palm Pilot Personal way back when and it has been my constant companion. Lately though, it had started looking a little worn (it has been through hell) and I couldn't run Java on it, something I wanted to do,...

SONICblue ReplayTV 2001 Digital Recorder: Brilliant, but flawed.

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 02:37:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - The concept here is absolutely brilliant. Once you get a ReplayTV box you change your whole approach to TV. Got a chance at a hot date that overlaps the season premier of your favorite show? Not to worry, it will be recorded when you get home. Annoyed...

Don't settle for less, this is the best.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - Hooya! This is one tool I can unconditionally recommend. Unless you have carpal tunnel problems, in that case it will probably rip your arms out!

Power is there to spare. I've managed to bog it down but that was drilling a two inch hole, with...

1/4 (184mm) Circular Saw With Electric Brake: Solid saw but not incredibly accurate

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 01:39:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - This saw could be a little too powerful (is that possible?)! I've been building a house and I toasted my old B&D so I picked this as it's replacement.

First of all, it is built like a brick house. I don't expect problems with it. The body...

Can't live without this tool

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 01:27:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - Let's face it, the sound of a reciprocating saw is the sound of a screwup being fixed. That's all I ever seem to to use it for anyway (not that I have that many, maybe I just fix more than average). I want to get it over with as quickly as possible and...

Very solid and reliable

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - I got this saw to build a house. I doubt that I could have done better for the money. I've used it for framing, trim, and a little bit of joinery and it has performed very well in all categories.

There are a few really important things about...

3Dfx Voodoo3 3000: The best 3D you can get, but not without warts

Thu, 28 Oct 1999 23:08:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - You can't argue with a couple of things. 3Dfx has the best game support and they really know how to go fast. The Voodoo3 3000 scores big in both categories. Especially that fast thing...

The graphics are just awesome. For 2D you get a rock...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - I first signed up for Road Runner service before it was formally introduced to Austin. The access speed was pretty amazing. After people started signing up it slowed to a crawl because they didn't have a large enough pipe to the rest of the internet...

Sprint: Sprint beats SWBell hands down!

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 10:00:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattski - When I first moved to Austin I got cellular service with the phone company (who else?). SouthWestern Bell's service was terrible and their customer service was worse. Luckily I had provided my own phone so I didn't have a contract. I switched to Sprint...
