Funny name, good mouse.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - After using this mouse for two weeks, I would recommend it to almost anyone. The mini trackball is an interesting feature, as it allows both vertical and horizontal scrolling (as well as diagonal). This trackball also acts as a button, while it's not a...

The name says it all

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - When comparing this to other Operating Systems I've used (OS 8.x OS 9.x, the windows 9x series, NT, win 2k), I can see a huge difference. After using the windows 9x series, along with NT and some win 2k, and trying out OS 8.x and OS 9.x. I was curious...

TiBook: the jewel of laptops

Tue, 3 Dec 2002 22:29:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - The Titanium Powerbook aka. the TiBook. This little 5 pound wonder can now do it all. With the recent processor speed upgrades, the addition of the DVD burner, and the up to $500 price drop, it's going to be hard not to want one now. With the first ever...

iBook the best consumer laptop

Tue, 3 Dec 2002 21:29:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - First a little background on who I am. I've personally used windows from version 3.1 to windows 2000. I have also used different versions of Mac OS. While I use windows 2000 at work I prefer Mac OS X. My first computer was an Apple ][. When Apple started...

Playstation 2 Network Adaptor SCPH-10281: $39.99 bargin

Thu, 14 Nov 2002 11:43:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - While it's not an absolute necessity, the PS 2 Network adaptor is a good add on to your PS 2. The included CD walks you through the installation. I had it up and running (with Madden 2003) in less than 5 minutes. It gives you the flexibility of using...

Apple Airport (M7600LL/E) Network Adapter: Simple to use

Wed, 27 Feb 2002 20:29:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - The Airport® card, Apple's 802.11b wireless ethernet card. It replaces the Cat 5 ethernet cable with a wireless link to an 802.11b network. What can I say, it works. Was easy to install and the software is on any new Mac® that you can buy. One thing...

Flying high

Fri, 22 Feb 2002 17:15:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - Let's see, where do I start? I bought an AirPort® Base Station for my parents (my mom has an iBook® and my dad just got a new G4®). Opening the box I saw the little "flying saucer", known as the Base Station. It's a generation 2 AirPort®. Initially...

Works great

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 16:10:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - While it's a little heavier than the XTR part, I feel the cost saving more than makes up for it. This derailleur is solid and has not mis-shifted once on me, even shifting under a load (shifting while climbing). Ok I'll admit it doesn't have the XTR's...

I ride one

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 15:54:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - I bought a Trek Y1, but had it built to spec by the local dealer. While this may cost more it's worth the money. I had it built with Mavic X 517 wheels and Shimano XT hubs. I feel these are quite a nice set of wheels. My bike also has an all Shimano...

Apple Power Macintosh G4 Base: Wonderful machine

Wed, 2 Jan 2002 15:12:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - When I got my new Powermac G4 home, I noticed that someone at Apple® spent some time packaging it, a sign of quality. It took only minutes to set up, only 4 wires (power, keyboard, ADC®, and printer). That makes it east to set up, another plus.

Now this is an Operating System

Wed, 2 Jan 2002 14:24:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rick_k - It was a choice between this and Windows xp. This won hands down. Version 10.1 runs great, so well that I bought a Mac just for the Operating System. If that doesn't say something, nothing will. the only thing I can fault, is lack of 3rd party software...
