Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge: Perfect for your neighborhood or office lan!

Thu, 30 Jan 2003 20:57:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - I'll say right up front that I'm not a huge Linksys fan. I run a wireless network for our street and I've had problems with their gear in the past (e.g. see my Linksys BEFW11S4 review).

BUT, Linksys have a...

Can't live without this!

Fri, 15 Mar 2002 02:35:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - This is one of those products you'll either think "Why would I ever need that?" or "I need that SO badly!". I definitely fall into the latter category! If, like me, you admire a tool perfectly designed and suited for a specific task then you'll find it...

Lucent ORiNOCO Client Gold (700058852) Network Adapter: Leaves other wireless adapters in the dust

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 20:40:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - I've owned two of these and a couple of its competitors and can confidently confirm what I've read at many sites: the range and convenience of the Orinoco wireless clients is unmatched. Now two of my neighbours have one each and I've got another on...

Forget the rest - buy this box

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 19:27:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - I used to own this wonderful product and traded it for a Linksys. Silliest thing I've done in a while!

What I like most about this product:

+ built-in 4 port hub lets you hook up as many computers as you're likely to have in...

Linksys (BEFW11S4) 802.11b Wireless Access Point: OK for home, but not home office

Fri, 18 Jan 2002 19:09:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - I love and hate this little blue box.

I love it because: its fairly priced, its feature rich, its easy to buy (and sell), it basically does what you expect and you can plug in 3rd-party antennas to extend its range.

Tried em all, didn't keep this

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 20:10:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - You know how when you have a baby, especially the first, and it triggers irrational impulses? Well, such an impulse hit us with the Milano stroller. Forget that we already had a stroller. Forget that our baby was now past the "lying horizontal in the...

Aced geek test, failed spouse test

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - Is this a recommend or not? It depends...

I'm the geek in the household and I LOVED this phone. E.g.

+ its bitmapped multi-line display does cool things like using large font numbers until the phone number was too long and then...

SunMark Ultrasonic Humidifier: VERY quiet, great for the price

Sat, 27 May 2000 11:12:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - When our newborn started getting hoarse due to the central heating we went in search of a cool air humidifier. The Vicks unit was quickly purchased - and just as quickly returned because it was SO noisy and based on the refill rate actually dispersed...

Not a car, but not an SUV either - thankfully!

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 01:18:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - We were about to have a baby and decided that getting in and out of the 2 door '91 Honda Civic just wasn't going to cut it long term. So off we went...

We knew we didn't want an SUV - too big, too much fuel, too hard to park - but we did like...

Microsoft MS Wheel Mouse 1.0 (062-00140) Mouse: Great, but not perfect

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 20:25:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - The bad news first: I found the mouse too heavy to keep using it. It has two AAA batteries in it and it gave me a sore hand after continued use. So... its back to the cord for me. This is unfortunate because the idea and subsequent experience of no cord...

Super light, well made, but quirky

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 02:57:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mikemee - Flexibility and weight were our biggest criteria when we went looking for a stroller and chose this one. We live somewhere where we walk to shops rather than driving and have a few steps up to the front door so we knew we'd be using it a lot and lifting...
