Beware of its pretty face

Sun, 10 Mar 2002 16:31:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - After redesigning the whole kitchen and buying stainless steel appliances, our good old Black & Decker toaster oven, which still worked flawlessly, just didn’t fit in at all with its white and chrome finish. It bothered us a bit, but we decided to live...

Viking VGRT Gas 30", 36", 42", 48" and 60" Wide Rangetops : Don’t settle for anything less than this professional rangetop

Sun, 10 Mar 2002 10:15:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - When my boyfriend and I decided to buy our first house, one thing was obvious: the kitchen was going to be the central attraction, and we were willing to invest in it to make it as perfect as my cooking is ;-)

Long before moving in, we started...

Action Names: The 7-days list view makes my day!

Sun, 20 May 2001 10:56:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - In the old days, when I used a paper agenda, I always used different colors to easily spot different events in my week. When I received my color Palm last year, I was quite deceived to see how little the color has been integrated in the PalmOS. In the...

Why adults love it, and how to get one at a decent price

Fri, 20 Apr 2001 21:50:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - If you plan on reading this Epinion up until the end, please be prepared to spend your money on a Xootr: I know the feeling, I’ve been through the same experience a few weeks ago after reading reviews here… I now have a Cruz and a Street and guess what?...

Picture this in astonishing colors

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - == From Olympus to Kodak ==

I enjoyed using an Olympus d450z for about a year (read my detailed epinion on this product to know more), but I eventually wanted a camera that would:

- Give easier access to manual functions, because...

A robot to keep in the family for years to come

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 09:53:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - Have you ever heard the word for “food processor” in French? It is a “robot culinaire” (a culinary robot, to translate it roughly). When I were young, my parents never bought a “robot culinaire”, so this object was, for a long time,...

Too pricey for what it delivers... but I love mine!

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 19:27:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - First things first: I was lucky enough to receive the IIIc nearly a year ago as a gift from a friend who himself won it in a contest... Now that you hate me, keep on reading the review to know everything about it ;-)

An inventive keyboard that types well... in English

Sat, 17 Feb 2001 10:49:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - The recognition of handwriting on the Palm is useful and works great, but remains slower than entering data with a good old keyboard. There are several models of keyboards for Palm on the market, but what distinguishes the Stowaway from Think Outside...

Sennheiser HD 455 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones: Let's hear about durability

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 11:05:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - This review refers to the HD 450 model. As those headphones were discontinued years ago, this review won't stress on the sound quality of the HD 450 (you're more likely to be interested to read that about current models, aren't you?) but on the...

Almost all I ask a case to be

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 22:58:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - When receiving my new Palm IIIc, few cases were available to fit it. And those rare ones that could presented irritants I wasn't willing to live with, whether it was:

* velcro to stick behind the Palm (no way, I won't spoil the surface)

* a...

SmartMedia Cards: Because you have better things to do than downloading photos

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 09:55:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - I'm a happy Olympus D-450z user, but the slow photo downloading process has been killing me since the very beginning. The painfully long download time (approx. half an hour for each 8mb Smartmedia card -- I currently own 2) is due to Olympus' choice to...

Zing Cards: Click and zing: an intelligent way to share photos

Sun, 5 Mar 2000 21:26:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - I own a digital camera, and I've been looking for an easy way to share photos on the Net for a few months. I've tried a lot of those photo album sharing sites, and have been dissatisfied with most of them, either because:

- They imposed...

Its flatness made me "wow", but the focus is so-so

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 09:35:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - It's been years I've been hoping for a compromise between my desktop monitor's size and price (currently an ADi MicroScan 5gt, 17", about which you can read my epinion too) and a laptop's active matrix. I've always found the flatness of the laptop's...

Perfect to carry around (but too big for my daily use)

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 19:20:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - Was it hype? Was it a real need? Even though I already own a Logitech Mouseman+ of which I'm very satisfied of (as you already know if you read my review), I decided to order this Intellimouse Explorer a few days ago. I didn't expect to use it on my main...

A great value/quality choice, but beware if it breaks!

It has been years I've been wanting a digital camera to add some images to my Website. But let's face it: until recently, the top dollars one had to invest...

Fits like a glove but needs a more durable roller

Thu, 7 Oct 1999 00:42:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - For me, a mouse is a very important device. It's the link between me and what goes on on the screen. It's my hand inside the screen. And I spend so much time looking at that screen that I want my hand to be comfortable inside it.

This Logitech...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: 505f: ultraportable at a bargain price

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 08:22:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - I bought one of these 505f superslim at a bargain price here in Canada in the summer of 1999. Of course, the specs (32mb upgradable only to 96, 4 gig hd, Pentium 233 MMX) may seem a little low compared to new models, but if you already have a desktop and...

Nice trinitron for the bucks

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 08:13:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - I purchased my ADI MicroScan 5GT in January 1999. At that time, it was one of the lowest priced trinitrons on the market. But in no way have I felt I had cheap material in hands!

My usage divides between office work and gaming, so I'm in...

Suspension of disbelief

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 08:11:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - Forget about virtual reality and hyper-glitz accessories: to feel you're inside a story, you only need a great game that leads to a "suspension of disbelief", that makes you believe in what's going on when you stare at the screen. And Baldur's...

Iomega Zip family: When a good idea is built in bad technology

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 08:05:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author transgenik - A few years ago, I got my first Zip drive (a SCSI model for Macintosh) At that time, 100mb was way enough to backup my system, so that's what it was meant for: backuping important data.

All was going well until the day someone arrived with...
