Stunning Display, Great Value

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:48:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - For a long time, I have been waiting for this class of display to come down from the stratosphere to affordability. LCD's supporting the 1600x1200 I got used to from the CRT era of 1990's have been largely unavailable or overpriced. Finally, Gateway has...

Excellent SD/Memory Stick Reader, 4GB Capable!

Fri, 15 Sep 2006 22:42:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I bought this USB drive + Card Reader with my fingers crossed, knowing that the recent introduction of 4GB SD cards (and Memory Stick Pro Duo's, though I don't have one of those to test, owing to them costing twice as much as SD) has rendered many card...

Impressive camera, improves on a great line...

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 02:17:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I've been a DSC-T1 owner for about 2.5 years now I guess, and I've had a chance to run the DSC-W50 through its paces and see how they stack up. The DSC-T1 broke new ground with its deck-of-cards form factor, and, I must say, despite my aging Nikon...

Far Cry Predator - A Far Cry from the PC?

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 23:55:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - OK, so far this is one of my favorite Xbox 360 games for the sole reason that it is a good FPS game without excessive complexity as is the case with the new Tom Clancy title, and more combat than I've experienced in Perfect Dark Zero. There are still...

Most Wanted - That Says It!

Wed, 4 Jan 2006 23:29:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I managed to snag an Xbox 360 2 days after the fat man made his rounds - hooray for rural Walmarts.. this was the first game I picked up, knowing my kids are true racing nuts. Now I've played a few PC racing games including earlier NFS titles, every...

Great little funmobile....

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:34:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I'm sure a good many folks are looking to pick up a used Spyder, especially since Toyota is phasing the current model out in 2005. I bought my 2002 model used in 2004 with 38000 miles on it. She's now over 95000 owing to a 150 mile/day commute over the...

Competent and Affordable Jukebox

Sat, 14 May 2005 14:25:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I bought this unit to update from my e.Digital 15GB unit. The e.Digital unit had a couple of defects that showed up after using it in a variety of conditions. The e.Digital had a poor battery connection that would reset the unit if certain navigation...

All You Want In One Little Machine

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 01:22:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I've been an Ipaq user almost from Day One when the first StrongARM processor machines rolled out. The advantages then were much faster performance with the 206MHz StrongARM than other offerings. Along the way I upgraded to a newer model, basically identi...

Excellent Wireless Router for a Bargain!

Mon, 11 Aug 2003 23:34:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I've been a Linksys broadband router user for some time now, first with a 4-port hardwired unit, the...

Forget MS, buy the No Name

Wed, 18 Dec 2002 01:49:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - Before I waste your time telling you what is wrong with Microsoft's Wireless Optical Mouse Blue, let me tell you what to buy, available at your local BJ's Warehouse or other online outlet: this no-name made in China mouse set (it's actually TWO mice in...

e.Digital Treo 15 MP3 Player: Car, Office, anywhere MP3

Wed, 4 Dec 2002 01:39:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - Flash-based MP3 players have their problems: short memory, short battery life, and high cost. Despite great reductions in Flash prices, most MP3 players with rechargeable batteries and 128MB or more of memory hover in the $200-$300 range, despite 256MB...

Super Video Editing Value

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 19:38:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - Having jumped onto the Firewire-connected video bandwagon, I was in the market for good editing software. If memory serves, I actually got this software free after rebate from CompUSA. Wow, what a bargain! Having been a user of the ATI All-In-Wonder...

Taming a Fit of Rage

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 05:16:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - Finally the tenants were gone... we arrived to clean up our rental property for sale to find a code violation taped to the door. Not only had the tenants skipped out on the rent, they also hadn't trimmed the hedge in a year. We knew this and had...

Why You Need a Power Miter

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 03:26:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - I'll take a little different slant than most reviewers, though I agree with pretty much everything said. The accuracy I believe to be considerably better than 1/16th inch as state by one. The tool does lack extensions, but the 36-225 model can solve that...

Must Have wet saw for DIY stone tile

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 01:42:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - This is definitely a product for the home user, as its plastic construction isn't likely to hold up to pro standards. That said, it offers key advantages over "pro" wet saws. The "cut quality" of the table saw styling is superior to radial-arm style...

A good DVD Value

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 01:53:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - This is a competent DVD player. This model was a promotional freebie packaged with Circuit City's widescreen TV's. (see my RCA P61310 HDTV review).

I connected the player with Component Video output to the RCA widescreen HDTV -- the output is...

A great TV, great value

Wed, 18 Jul 2001 02:34:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author silflayhraka - Sharpness will amaze in HDTV mode, but the same sharpness (as is the case with any HDTV I'd presume) that is wonderful at 1440x1080 (RCA stated resolution in the 1080i 1920x1080 mode) is such a great indicator of how horrid the signal quality of your old...
