Sun, 7 Dec 2008 13:22:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I have ordered 2 items through optics planet. There customer service, price, shipping, speed, everything are excellent. I purchased and item I ultimately decided to return (I found one similar in a box in my house not because of quality or price),...

Makes a cross-country drive easy!

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:18:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - 1) This review is for the 260 not the 260W. I don't know why epinions doesn't have the 260 on here, but the minor difference in screen size won't affect this review. 2) This product makes traveling so easy. You can not only get to where you want to...

Excellent Camera for Excellent Price

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:14:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I had a Sony digital I purchased in 2004 that I have somehow not been able to get rid of since it was performing so well. It was the one digital item I hadn't upgraded every few years, but I got a good price on a top-rated Canon camera and jumped on it...

Revolutionized my handheld life

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 04:32:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - Decided to upgrade my Sprint flip phone to something more powerful/capable. Opted out of the Blackberry world and decided to go with the Mogul. I love the integration with Windows Vista and how I can do so much with my phone all at the same time...

Excellent addition to satellite radio experience

Mon, 7 Apr 2008 04:19:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - This device has significantly improved my life as a Sirius customer. The Sirius service itself has always been excellent and my wife upgraded me from a Sportster to the Stiletto for Christmas. Got the car docking station as well. The ability to...

Total Desktop Replacement Power

Wed, 20 Dec 2006 01:13:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'll run down my thought process on how I got to this one and then I'll describe why I went with it (the specs). I was looking for a new laptop to bring with me to Afghanistan (I'm in the Army). I had purchased a Compaq last year when I went to Iraq...

Kept the good parts and improved the rest

Sun, 27 Mar 2005 15:34:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'm happy to say I have one of the only 2005s in the state and probably the country and the first to review it on this site. I'll give a brief history of the Xterra, explain my 2003 (a mini-review) and then review the 2005. Xterra debuted in 2000 as...

High quality product

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 02:08:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'll be brief here as I don't have much to say, but I want to get my 2 cents in here. This is a very high quality monitor. I've had mine for 3 years with zero problems. I has survived moves from Illinois to Ohio and then Ohio to Washington State. The...

My digital buddy

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 02:03:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I am a Palm user. Can't and don't want to live without one. I've had 3 prior to the T3 and this was my next because it was top of the line when I got it. I wouldn't have bought it myself based on price, but my uncle got me an iPod I didn't really...

Belkin USB 2.0 7PT ECONOMY HUB (f5u237) USB Hub: A good 80% solution

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:44:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - This product has an excellent physical design. It sits well and looks good wherever you put it. I love the slots in the back for permanent things and then the 2 top slots for devices you plug in occasionally. Very well designed. The only problem I...

My only mouse

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:35:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'll get to the point. If you have not gotten a stationary mouse, the kind you don't have to move around the table top, you need to get one now. This one is the best out there. I am always into looking for ways to be more productive and I love...

Excellent wireless solution

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:26:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - If you want the specs, go to D-Link. I'll give my rationale for buying and experiences. I'll keep this short and sweet. I got a new house, had a laptop and a desktop and needed to get a wireless network going. I went to the store (BestBuy) and found...

Lexmark X6170 Thermal inkjet Printer: Almost totally versatile

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:01:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - If you want the specs for this product, check out the Lexmark web site. I'll give you my rationale for buying and my findings on my use in the last 6 months. First, I got it because I wanted to conserve desk space and wanted new peripherals at the...

Powerful basic card, even for gamers

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 15:19:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I consider myself something of a gamer, but not truly as I only play 3-4 games and they are all military games of one kind or another. But, I do appreciate good graphics and performance in those that I play. I have a super fast computer with tons of...

Great for even the hardcore

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 15:07:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'll preface this review by saying I reviewed the Attack (one step down from this stick) a second ago and so if you want to compare them, I have owned both and have a good base of reference. I'll talk here specifically what I like about this stick...

Great starter stick

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 14:50:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I got this joystick one afternoon at Best Buy. I decided I wanted to try some flight sim games on my computer. I didn't know if I'd like them, so I didn't want to buy an expensive stick or game for that matter. This one was there for 20 bucks. It looked...

I love it but couldn't use it!

Wed, 13 Mar 2002 15:56:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I am not going to get into the whole typing out all the technical specs of the product. My previous reviews do that and I feel now that it is such repetition and information you can get from the manufacturer's or retailer's Web sites that it's just...

Perfect fit for me

Fri, 9 Nov 2001 02:57:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - As I see it, you go with nVidia or ATI as far as GPUs. GPU is Graphics Processing Unit. Just like AMD and Intel make CPUs (central processing unit), there are 2 GPU makers. Within that there are different classes of GPU just like there are different...

My choice & here's why

Thu, 8 Nov 2001 18:11:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I wanted to build my own PC. So I started with the motherboard (MoBo). I started my search based on chipset. There were 2 chipsets I was considering, one from Via and one from AMD. The Via chipset did not support DDR SDRAM and in comparison tests, it...

Zone Alarm: Get in the Zone!

Thu, 8 Nov 2001 17:19:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I'll make this review short and sweet:

This product is a must for anyone on a network (an internet connection that is always on, not a dial-up) due to security reasons. You cannot protect against everything and everyone, but this product...

What an idea!

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 14:10:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - Whoever thought of this idea is my idol. What a great service.

For auctions, it can't be beat. Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo! have great services too where you can send your auction payment immediately through them. They got that idea ONLY after...

Intel PC Camera Pack: Great PC camera

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 13:56:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - This PC camera is an excellent buy overall.

I had no trouble setting it up although I am a very adept electronics user and don't have trouble with much. I'd guess people I know with rudamentary computer/electronics knowledge could set it up...

AT&T 9301 Cordless Phone: Not my bag - better buys exist

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 13:32:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I got this phone because it had all the features I wanted originally: Headphone back, cordless, and 900 mHz. I know AT&T is a reputable company and the phone was moderately priced. Good on paper = good in action = NO!

First off, the phone is...

Maybe my best value buy ever

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 13:20:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - I had an AT&T cordless (which I am reviewing after this if you want to check it out) because it was a good phone on paper. It had all the features I wanted at the time. Mostly all I needed was cordless to be honest, but I wanted to be able to wear a...

The way the Internet is meant to be experienced

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 23:50:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zap3v - How can anyone make a comment comparing a 33.6 modem to ATT@Home cable Internet access? I don't know how, but I saw it in a review on this site.

I am not going to tell you about the service, but of my experience.

I have had...
