It also seemed to hold its own against color bleaching and flame tests, giving it an estimated lifetime of about 60-70 years under normal conditions.

Cons: No documentation. Too small for a bumper, but probably just a little too big for some computer cases, depeding on the number of stickers already affixed to the case. Underperforms in the range of colors used, as some other sticker logos seem to have a multitude, but this may actually be a pro.

Other Thoughts: Like many other stickers, the manufacturer specifications were difficult to deterime, as there was no noticable markings on the chassis of the sticker, and no documentation. Also, the margin of error in all tests performed is unusually high, due to the difficulty in finding good control groups.
lol my personal favorites are the newegg logo sticker reviews

I have the Trump card.
This one beats out any and all other reviews:

Newegg.com - ATI X1950 XTX CrossFire 100-435-858 Uber edition VIVO HDCP Video Card - Retail

Quote:
Pros: It's the most expensive briefcase I've ever bought. But hey, I got 2 free 1900XTXs with it!

Cons: Um, I want a third one?

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Quote:
Pros: Thanks to all the computer tech jargon, but maybe give a first hand ownership review. Not speculation, okay? Runs faster than my P3 800mhz. Noticeable difference while running word 2.0

Cons: this is a great addition to my motherboard and my memory and my video card and my hard drive thingy

Other Thoughts: would very much like to use this computer chip to make work in my computer system to watch a game of the super bowl and root on to victory the team of my choice

I've met a person like this before! You guys are gonna love this one!

Quote:
E6600:

Pros: Haven't found any yet.

Cons: Multi-tasking is horrible. I can't even duplicate a CD without the buffer going up and down constantly. Takes 20 to copy a CD from disc to disc.

Other Thoughts: Old P4 2.8Ghz was better at multi-tasking and doing 5 things at once. this processor I'm lucky to do 2 things at once

Guy talking about the Zen Vision I just bought:

Quote:
Pros: Super media player, with all the bells and whistles I want in a hard-drive player. I have all my pics (3000), music (1200), and videos(20) on this thing and its only 1/3 full. Decided NOT to buy the bigger 60MB one, b/c it was too thick for me. I have big hands (big guy) and this player fits my hands well. It is much bigger than the iPod Nano, and MUCH heavier, but that does not bother me since it holds 8x as much. I am surprised that no one here mentioned the excellent feature of a ~2:1 screen size ratio which is fantastic for widescreen video playback. Syncs well with Windows MediaPlayer 11. Overall, I am very pleased.

Other Thoughts:
I have never owned an iPod and probably never will. I only have this Zen player and a 1MB MP3 player, so I cannot fairly compare to a hard drive iPod. I am an engineer and an audiophile, so I'm quite picky, and hate to be tied to iTunes, so this player works well for me.
And he said his tech level was "High"
