Fri, 27 Dec 2002 01:20:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - I recently upgraded from a Delorme Earthmate to a Garmin GPS V Deluxe. The Earthmate could only be used with a laptop and Delorme Street Atlas. As a result, it didn't get used except on long trips. The GPS V is more expensive, but well worth the cost...

Thu, 8 Aug 2002 00:16:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - I began researching a DVD recorder purchase late 2001. At the time I was strictly focused on the DVD-R and DVD-RW units, as the media and drives appeared to be less expensive. I was also led to believe that the DVD-R media would be more compatible with...

Portability:

The first thing you will notice is that it is small: less than 1" thick and...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - **Update 2001: I have replaced my Rainbow Runner with a OHCI Firewire card. DV is the way to go if you can afford a DV camera. I had some headaches with dropped frames with the rainbow runner. DV is much more reliable and fast to work with. When...

Samsung SyncMaster 955SL: Compact 19", good quality.

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 12:53:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - As a person making the leap into graphics, photo, and video editing, I wanted more screen real estate, but I had a problem: space. Most 19" monitors are so big they would not fit into the computer hutch that I use. However, the Samsung 955SL...

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 12:44:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - The Canon Elura MiniDV camera is a great way to get into DV right now (Nov '00). I have been using a Sony Hi8 Camcorder for the last two years and was pleased with its performance, but was ready to switch from analog to full digital editing and...

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 13:35:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - HPC notes came with my handheld Windows CE PC, and it is my favorite application. If you are someone who has to take a lot of notes for school or meetings at work, this utility is amazing!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - I like the Yamaha RX-V595A.

I am not going to compare it to some receiver costing $500-800. What I will do is say it brings back memories of good sound! About ten years ago I had what I would consider one of Technics' better receivers. I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - Back when DVD players were still 400-500 dollars (the cheap ones), I was looking hard at getting a home theater rig set up. However, I was hindered by the fact I didn't have lots of $$$ to spend. One day I found a virtually untouched Sony SDP-E800...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - I have owned a Microsoft Intellimouse for about 4 months now. Most of my experience has been fantastic. Installation was a breeze on my Windows 98 machine. I use the USB connector and it really was 'plug n play'. The side buttons are really useful as...

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 01:43:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - Calligrapher works great on my HP 620LX handheld PC. I had tried an earlier version with average results, but the version 5.3 release is just what I was looking for.

The Real Thing

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 22:57:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - The Matrox Millenium G400 excels where the G200 was lacking. Sure, I was happy with my G200 card, but it was just...okay.

The G400 cooks! The image is steady and crisp, and the 2D smokes!

For 3D, the G200 was slow in comparison...

I wanted to walk out, But...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - Magnolia has some great acting, a strange story, and a peculiar beginning and ending. I wanted to like it; I knew it was a thinking person's film, and during the first hour and a half, I was excited at the interwoven stories of different peoples' lives...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richlt - When I was in the military, the PST-II was invaluable. Now that I am a civilian, this tool hasn't lost any usefulness. It was so good I bought a replacement immediately when I lost it out in the woods. The serrated blade is very sharp and cuts through...
