Mon, 28 May 2001 22:39:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - Ask anyone familiar with cell phones, and they'd have to admit that the samsung 8500 is one of the sleekest phones on the market right now. Available in silver or black, this phone screams style with a light-to-carry body and a flip screen. But beauty is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - or at least your PDA screen.

The Casio EM500 was released much at the same time as the Compaq Ipaq 3600 and the HP Jornadas. Casio decided to target the em500 at a younger generation, and billed it as a multimedia device. Overshadowed by the...

The one to buy!

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 06:24:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - I bought this printer after finally deciding to upgrade from a very cheap and poor quality HP. Like most shoppers, I did the comparison thing, looking at CNet, ZDnet and a range of other hardware review sites. Every site I went to included strong praise...

Ulead Systems SmartSaver Pro: Smart Tools for Smart Designers

Sat, 12 Aug 2000 03:04:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - This is one of those "can't live without" tools for Graphic and Web Designers alike. While much of Ulead's software (cool 3d, Photo Impact) seem to target the novice designer, SmartSaver is as valuable to experts as it is to the beginner.

Called the best, and with good reason...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - My first CDRW was an external parallel port HP 2x/2x/4x bought when CDRWS were just becoming popular in the consumer marketplace. While easy to setup, performance was less than stellar (took over an hour to burn one 650mb cdr) and I sold it within a...

Fax4Free: And you thought nothing worthwhile was free...

Sun, 30 Jul 2000 19:24:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - A friend who was using this service recommended it to me when we were talking about faxing. At the time, I was paying about $14 a month to use jfax.com (owner of fax4free) for premium features. I was only infrequently using the fax services - and mostly...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - Let me first say that this is a winmodem, which means that you won't be using it in linux, beOS or any other OS out there. I point this out first because if you're looking for an external USB modem this is the only reason you may not like the viking...

ONSALE: Problems abound...

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 03:04:48 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - When I first tried onsale it was long before they merged with egghead. I wanted to buy a new desktop - but was wary about buying one from a person to person auction such as ebay. I thought I would have a better chance of getting a good deal and a good...

Great set of Headphones at a great price!

Wed, 10 May 2000 18:44:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - When I was shopping for a new set of headphones, I didn't want to spend more than $100 on them. I also wanted something comfortable (I wore them frequently and the last set I had literally left my ears hurting after a few hours of wear) and of course,...

MS actually makes something good!

Sun, 7 May 2000 15:15:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - After receiving this as a gift, I was forced with deciding whether to keep using my old (and very nice) ergonomic split keyboard or trying out this one. After leaving it on my shelf for a week, I finally gave in, plugged it in and installed the...

Good quality - a few complaints

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - I bought this monitor after owning a lowend 15" viewsonic for a little over a year. This time I wanted something that would be excellent for graphics and for web surfing. I also had a new DVDrom and wanted the full experience of seeing movies on a...

Coolest new mouse innovation

Sun, 7 May 2000 14:39:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - I finally broke down and bought one of these after friends telling me how incredible it was. The IntelliMouse is the low profile brother of the explorer. The smaller size is easier to fit in your hand, and is nicer for long-term use.

Sat, 6 May 2000 18:51:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - I bought this laptop as replacement/upgrade for an old IBM p166 thinkpad. I was looking for a laptop that was around $1300, had a TFT screen, at least 64mb of ram and had a sizable hard drive.

Sat, 6 May 2000 17:24:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author timbuktu - After shopping around for a portable mp3 player for about 4 months, I finally decided on this one. I purchased it in January 2000 from value america for $199 after rebate.
