You see, just days before I got this thing I had an iPhone 2G, 8GB unlocked & jailbroken and I didn't think much of it. For one, I could not live with the touch-screen virtual... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~478079848068 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:26:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_478079848068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_441954569860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - A slightly unusual name for a motherboard maybe, they usually come up with some name like the Master3-FXXI2K+ Super Ultra Vista Gaming Edition, but no they called it "Geem" in l33tspeek. In the past I have owned one MSI motherboard before.

I got several tips with it and it came in a nice little box which was broken when it arrived. I'm not exactly sure why I decided to buy a gas fired soldering iron but was probably... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~426790653572 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 11:22:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_426790653572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403711626884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - The first time I saw one of these must have been in a department store in Croydon. They were everywhere but plenty of paranoid staff around who would probably freak if you looked at one for too long. For quite a while now I have used Voiptalk's SIP... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403711626884 Thu, 20 Sep 2007 19:13:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403711626884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_311146614404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - Not the fastest, but definitely the best. Of course I won't count expensive special-purpose processors or any of that. Usually when some company releases a new line of processors they go out of their way to create immense hype, then when they finally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~311146614404 Thu, 25 Jan 2007 22:08:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_311146614404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_310189788804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - This thing was trouble from the minute I got it. The main problem with it seemed to be its tendency to not start up after pushing the power on button. This problem would come and go, for no apparent reason even after checking all the wires over and over... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~310189788804 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 18:18:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_310189788804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_308474908292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - This is the ordinary "Plain Jane" version of what was at the time of writing the world's biggest mass produced commercially available 3.5 inch hard drive. Which doesn't really mean much as a 1TB drive should be on the market soon enough. Unfortunately... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~308474908292 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 21:14:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_308474908292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297007615620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - This lens was released along with a few other lenses for the Four Thirds system by Sigma. I never cared what the other two were so you will have to look it up yourself. I somehow managed to find one of these on ebay - it was the only one and I won the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297007615620 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:38:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297007615620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_295756467844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - A little bit of history These are the first, the original and possibly the best Microdrives ever made. However they are a second-generation product. It was 1998, an exciting time in technology before the dot-com bust. Most people still used... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~295756467844 Fri, 22 Dec 2006 22:32:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_295756467844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_274924408452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - I decided to get a new mouse, because the crappy optical one I had been using wasn't so great. I bought this thing in Korea for the massive rip-off price of 95,000 Won. Usually I check these things out on ebay and a bunch of other places but this must... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~274924408452 Sun, 5 Nov 2006 23:26:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_274924408452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_273264184964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - Even though the epson printer is apparently cheaper to run because it has individual ink cartridges I would never get that beast because its so damn ugly. I was very near buying a Canon Selphy but decided against it, as they are extremely expensive to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~273264184964 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 22:41:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_273264184964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_256964857476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - The good *Nice light compact design *Built in SIP phone *Decent keyboard *Responsiveness *USB Mass storage support! *Support for 3G/54mbit wifi *Nice sized screen *Big [1500mA] battery *No touchscreen! - I never liked touch... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~256964857476 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 15:45:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_256964857476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_256946376324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - I had seen ads for this movie on the TV so I kind of knew what it was about, so when I was watching the start of it I was just waiting for things on the lovely blissful cruise ship to go horribly wrong.

People seem to get the wrong end of the stick as soon as they see 1710. The printer I am using is indeed a ML-1610 After years of awful experiences with inkjet printers I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~231893012100 Thu, 18 May 2006 22:03:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_231893012100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190551527044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - First impressions This phone comes in an ordinary box with a picture of a bunch of people in a car printed on it.

I think these were released around the same time as the Nokia 6310i. One thing I liked about it there is no big ear plug... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192655363716 Wed, 10 Aug 2005 09:41:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192655363716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182630059652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - I should have got a dvd burner a long time ago, but i was too stingy to splash out on one in the shops so I had a look on ebay and found a guy selling 3 of these. of course only 1 other person bid on it so i got it for 18 including shipping to ireland... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182630059652 Tue, 31 May 2005 15:22:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182630059652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180648644228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - I'm not sure that I'm even reviewing the right product, but I presume it is.

The extra megapixel is nice too. I really wanted the manual shutter, etc. This camera was also quite cheap, 6 megapixels, manual shutter I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179496717956 Wed, 20 Apr 2005 15:05:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179496717956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178794303108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - Okay so I pushed the little rubber on button on this thing, which isnt mine by the way. It makes a loud buzzing sound, as if there was an angry bee caught in my hair. The sound makes me cringe. I must say I dont like its appearance, its too chunky klumsy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178794303108 Sun, 3 Apr 2005 13:39:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178794303108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177059106436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author towel401 - I got this to replace my mini iPod which broke when I dropped it onto a tile floor. I have recently got a 6 megapixel camera but I only have 134 megs worth of SD cards and I didnt really feel like having to buy any more of those cards.

I must say it was a rip off. So you get this little yellow box with a stethoscope on it, and a CD in it. Installing it requires a reboot, and product activation.
