Not your average Mexican Fender

Sat, 6 Nov 2004 00:44:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I first saw this very unusual guitar at my good friend's house. He's a pack-rat of sorts, actually he's more of a spender. Whatever catches his eye the right way, he'll immediately buy, ponder and then forget about. Needless to say, the perfect Chrome...

The Super Mac that's BIG on everything

Wed, 8 Sep 2004 21:27:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I've had two months to become familiar with my dad’s new PowerMac G5 dual-processor system before writing a qualified review, time which I feel is necessary when writing a review on a costly electronic device. Just for the record, this PowerMac is...

The Mac notebook that "thinks" it's expensive, but isn't

Sat, 22 Nov 2003 14:54:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - Why a Laser Printer? I had been a staunch supporter of Inkjet printers for years. Inkjets were cheap, printed in color, and got the job done, albeit at their own relatively stodgy pace. Besides, I always considered laser printers to be...

Another gold mine for Nintendo from their lovable pocket system

Mon, 23 Jun 2003 02:53:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I have been a Gameboy fan for over a decade. From the original clunky, beige box with the green screen, to the more svelte icy-blue Pocket variant, to the Gameboy Color, to the "no frills" Gameboy Advance and now, the Gameboy Advance SP!...

The Dell 1702FP, quite possibly perfect

Wed, 19 Feb 2003 21:26:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I have always wanted an LCD monitor since they first came out back in the late 90s, it was such a futuristic look. Being the student that I am (with the limited budget that comes with the profession), I kept making up excuses over why not to spend the...

WAP11

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - Do you need Wireless access?

I already had a hard-wired, CAT5e LAN running in my house before I got my WAP11. The main reason I purchased a WAP11 was because two household members bought laptops and they wanted to be able to access the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I first met the Alcatel Speed Touch Home (STH) when I ordered Bellsouth Fast Access ADSL service. I originally had a USB ADSL modem but my router demanded an ethernet modem so Bellsouth sold me the STH. Since Bellsouth had already configured the modem...

Linksys EtherFast Workgroup 16-Port Ethernet Switch (EZXS16W): EZXS16W: Enterprise like switching, home/SOHO cost!

Mon, 19 Aug 2002 18:21:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mykel8 - I originally purchased the EZ to provide dependable 10/100 switching to my LAN of 10 computers. I needed to replace my old 3Com 8 port hub because I had just added 2 more computers to my SOHO LAN and needed more ports. I went with Linksys because I...
