Something of a list, if you consider 5,134
responses a list.... What I like
about Amazon is the product comments,
usually supplied by techies when it's a
computer related item.  It's something
like Consumer's Report for free.  If a
reasonably large number of people have
purchased an item, you usually get a
pretty good profile of it's worth in the
comments.
