the Fly!

Wed, 7 Nov 2001 12:26:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - My little round Sony has been nicknamed "the Fly" by my co-workers because it looks like a fly head with the speakers as eyes.

I must say I've been pretty happy with my radio. The sound quality is very good for its size, it doesn't take up...

More brushing, less running....

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 00:05:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I have an adopted beagle, Daisy, who -=hates=- to be brushed with normal dog brushes. I don't know why this is, but she would take one look at the brush and high-tail it out of there, not even to be tempted back with treats or goodies.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I recently graduated from Iowa State University, in Ames, IA, with a B.S. in Management Information Systems. I chose ISU because I originally wanted to be an engineer, and their engineering program is fantastic, and the tuition was very inexpensive...

Poor phone service

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 00:25:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I choose to go with Ameritech phone service when I moved to Madison in May. I called up one of their representatives, and was told about their rates, services, packages, etc. She told me to try one of their complete packages deals for one month, at no...

Memorex CD-ROM drives: I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and I will find a drive that works!

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 22:50:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I've owned several Memorex CD-ROM drives, and have had bad luck with all of them. At first I attributed it to poor care on my part, but after having an Acer drive for almost a year, I realized it wasn't me.

My 16X drive made terrible noises, I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I just recent purchased this phone after the demise of my Vtech hunk-o-junk (I wrote an epinion on it -- check it out). I chose the Panasonic because my mother has a similar model (she doesn't have the answering machine), and she just raves about how...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - My Vtech VT9111 had its last conversation earlier this week. It's actually a blessing because now I have an excuse to buy a new phone.... I'd had my Vtech VT9111 for about a year and a half. I bought it because it was cheap, and I hadn't heard anything...

Try loading the 952C drivers!

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 11:46:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - This will be a brief opinion, since there's so many others. This HP 932C uses the same print engine as the 952C, 970cse, P1000, etc. That is why the photo quality is the same. A couple friends and I were wondering why the huge speed differences in the...

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 03:31:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - My poor Microsoft Intellimouse finally bit the big one. After years of faithful service, the scroll no longer works, and the cord is frayed in several areas. While it served me well, I was planning on its demise. I knew that my next mouse would...

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 13:33:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I have lived in central Iowa my whole life, and there is no other place in Iowa to get a REAL bagel. Most other bagel shops and grocery stores serve bagel-shaped, flavored bread. Brueggers has that lovely chewy texture with a nice crust. When I visit...

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 03:22:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - If you have any devices that use SmartMedia Cards, you really should invest in a SanDisk USB SmartMedia Card reader. Both my digital camera and my MP3 player use SmartMedia, and my card reader saves batteries and time. My camera plugs in through the...

I'll be using it until black goes out of style!

Mon, 22 Jan 2001 12:46:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I really had to think hard on what to write in this, usually I only pay attention to the shortcomings of my luggage (something like, "the stupid strap broke off my stupid luggage again", only usually more colorful).

I picked up this piece of...

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 13:44:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I recently purchased an AMD Duron 700 and Biostar motherboard to upgrade my brother's computer. I decided on the Duron because it was inexpensive, it wasn't finicky with RAM (I could use the cheap PC100, unlike with my Athlon), and the processor's...

it's starting to grown on me...

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 13:01:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I purchased this product to complement my digital camera and my new scanner; my HP Deskjet 820CSE, no matter how fond I am of it, just isn't cutting it with photos.

I will admit, I am disappointed. The printer is very attractive, and a little...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - This camera (the Olympus D-460Z) has caused me all sorts of headaches... I love to use it so much that I've been compelled to buy all sorts of accessories that I can't afford. I purchased it because it felt good to me; compact, attractive, nice...

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 12:20:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I've had a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 5p for three or four years. It was a great scanner, fast, good quality, nice software (even though the "one-touch scanning" button never did work). Unfortunately, HP doesn't publish updated drivers for a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author munchkin - I received this keyboard as a gift from my younger brother to help me out with my late night papers and programs. I must say I am impressed. The cd-rom controls (play, pause, track ahead, etc.) also work with WinAmp, which has made me lazier than...
