rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - This is my second iPod. My first was a 2nd Generation, 20 GB iPod - the top-of-the-line in those early days. I had it for about 4 years, and finally put it up on eBay to pay for a new, iPod Video. The old iPod was no longer compatible with most of the...

An elegant, beautiful, functional case

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - Let me state from the outset that I'm someone who normally hunts for bargains and loves a good deal. (Indeed, when my Sony Clie SJ-33 died, I did a lot of reasearch on potential replacements, and finally picked up a factory refurbished PalmOne Tungsten C...

Wish I could recommend this mouse, but...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - I'd been using the two-button scroll mouse from my Wacom Graphire graphics tablet for several years. It was adequate, but I decided to get a "real," dedicated mouse because the little Teflon pads on the bottom began to get rough, and because I got tired...

A visual and narrative "wow"!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - When Fry's Electronics dropped the price of the Game Boy Advance to $69 US on sale, I finally caved in last fall and bought one. My gaming background (to be honest about my biases!) is in 8-bit and 16-bit console gaming, and in the Amiga computer. So for...

A wonderful hard drive!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - This was a replacement purchase for me. My first external drive was a SimpleTech 160 GB model, with which I was not happy. You can read about that experience in this review:...

You get what you pay for...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - I purchased this drive because I needed more storage for iMovie video projects on my iMac. I shopped around for drives online and found that the SimpleTech drive was being offered with a total of US $30 in rebates from Buy.com, bringing the total cost to...

A gem of a digicam: pro features in a point-n-shoot body!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - I will first invite you to read my review of the Olympus C-5050Z at...

It begs the question: what do you really need?

Mon, 9 Jun 2003 12:35:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - Let me say out of the gate that any number of C-5050Z owners will discount this review and say, "Oh, this guy is nuts," or "he doesn't know what he is talking about." Additionally, people tend to develop feelings of strong loyalty about camera brands...

Perhaps the ideal upgrade for an old, monochrome Palm PDA?

Mon, 28 Apr 2003 17:31:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - Let me say from the outset that I really do love my new SJ-33, probably even more than my "pros" and "cons" might suggest. It's not perfect (what is?) but it is a terrific PDA.

I had an old Palm Vx with "mad digitizer disease" -- I had to...

Worth every penny

Tue, 11 Jun 2002 23:44:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rebbi - I did a lot of shopping around for computer speakers for my new, flat-panel iMac. I had never heard of the Sonigistix Monsoon line until I read Bob LeVitus' rave recommendation in "The Little iTunes Book." It turned out that CompUSA carries them, but...
