Comments on: Jornik Penstylus Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/05/18/jornik_penstylus_review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:01:46 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: MikeRiegel http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/05/18/jornik_penstylus_review/comment-page-1/#comment-15116 MikeRiegel Thu, 19 Jun 2003 11:43:44 +0000 #comment-15116 I am running an Audiovox RF adapter (I tried the iRock, but I think it was damaged early on and my success with it was nil). It runs in-line with the antenna cable and is powered by the car's 12v system. Installation is a tad tricky (probably less rough that just getting to the back of the stereo in cars nowadays...) and a switch is installed - this thing will blast out all radio stations, so turning it of to listen to talk radio is essential. For the physical install, I simply purchased a clip phone mount from Radio Shack and double-side taped it to the dash, ran the wire to just above the mount...takes about 4 seconds to get it up and running...

This is one of the first time I see a site review such trivial objects. An Altoid case that fits a Ipod. And really, it's ok to do that once in a while just to liven up the atmosphere abit, but you need to label it as a "joke" so people don't confuse that you actually meant to review it. I'am suprised how much stuff you can write about that box. Call this critisim, or just my opinion, but that's the way I see it. No no no, this is too funny.

The guys must be living in a farm to know that people would actually buy a case decorated with the American flag, which resembles a coffin. This is my opinion about the case.

I'd only flame you if you were the one that brought that hideous case into the world. :D I was just curious how you felt about it, that's all. :) I don’t think you’re wishy-washy.

You are completely correct, it is a box, simple as that - like it or hate it. When I first laid eyes on it, I had a reaction similar to what I think you having...but I have to say that the goofy thing kinda grew on me after some use. It is basic, simple, and it looks to able to defelct a .22 bullet. Some folks want that, others do not. Did I hate the case? No. Did I love the case? No. I will not herald or condemn a product simply because I had no strong emotions...if you choose to think me wishy-washy, then you are very welcome (might be the nicest thing said about me in quite some time...LOL). I hope my reply was a little helpful... No, I did not make the case.

To me, it does not even remotely resemble something that would be an ipod case...or a case for anything else for that matter. It's basically a box with some cutouts for memory. It's not your fault, you didn't make the case... or did you? :D It just doesn't look like something anyone should actually buy. Umm, so is your review negative or positive?
