The worst bank I've ever dumped

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 19:46:35 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - If you take notice of their slogan, "Oklahomans banking Oklahoma," you might be inclined to believe that the employees of this bank are just normal people, like you and me, interested in helping other normal people with their banking...

Durable enough for 6th-graders, yet performs very well

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 23:40:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - My Intro to Engineering class did a project involving GPS; my professor later ported that project to the middle- and high school level as a way of getting younger kids interested in engineering. After going through his course, I was offered a position...

Violating certain laws of physics? Quite possibly.

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 15:43:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - One of the downsides of spending over a thousand hours working with pro audio gear is that you get spoiled, and very picky about what you will use in your own system. As a college student who's a movie and gaming enthusiast, I needed a home-theater...

Great TV for a dorm room

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:12:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - Heading off to college, I knew I would need a TV to keep me entertained--heaven knows the professors wouldn't! Being a movie buff, as well as an amateur producer/director (not a successful one, but I enjoy in nonetheless), I wanted something with a good...

A good TV, but with minor quirks

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 11:38:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - We started looking for a new TV a few years ago after our old RCA was struck by lightning. When a local store had a big sale on 32" TV's, we looked at several models they offered, including one Sony and this Hitachi. We ultimately decided in favor...

Good enough for training; a licensed pilot should know!

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 18:29:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 -

As a licensed pilot, I am very picky about what flight simulators I'll use--after the real thing, nothing is quite good enough. Flight Sim 2000 Pro is about the best I've found.

First of all, before I get into the particulars of the...

Outstanding! Super-sharp, and great color.

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:46:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - OK, first of all, despite what Epinions was insisting at the time I wrote this review, Princeton is not getting $4500 for the monitor. $450 is *much* closer...I think I paid $503, plus $30 for shipping, and that was in January 2000. Anyhow, on with the...

Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator: SDR is good, but DDR is better

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:12:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - For the full story of why I decided to build a computer around the geForce chipset, read my review of the Guillemot Prophet DDR. As to why I bought this card, well, impatience is the culprit.

I was intent on building a computer with a geForce...

Hercules 3D Prophet: This thing is HOT!

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 14:57:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - As a college student, I am required to play computer games for a certain number of hours every day (23). I had been playing them on my laptop, and doing so successfully (see my review on the Dell Inspiron 7000), but I felt I was missing something. I...

Outstanding value in a camera

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 14:53:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - I started looking for a camera last November (it is late June as I am writing this); my dad promised me a camera for my birthday, and I needed to decide what I wanted. I have previously used an older-model Pentax IQZoom 90WR date, and loved it--it took...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Cincinnati and Dayton: A great plan, a great price

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 13:52:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - I never thought I'd buy a cell phone, at least not any time soon. I didn't see myself needing the ability to be in touch constantly; in fact, I often prefer to be out of touch. But when I started looking at my long-distance bill (I'm a college student)...

Great phone, great features--and great size!

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 13:44:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - A few months ago, when I started looking into buying a cell phone, I realized just how small the little buggers had become. Dave Barry recently wrote a tongue-in-cheek column referring to a cell phone the size of "a single grain of rice;"...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Oklahoma City: A great plan, a great price

OU--You could do worse

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 12:07:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - Where to begin? There are a million things every prospective college student wants to know (or should want to know) about a school he is considering. The obvious ones include quality of education, housing, food, and social life; other reviewers...

Great little truck

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 17:14:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dave70968 - First of all, let me qualify this by saying that the B2300 is not a heavy-hauler. The 2.3L engine lacks the power to haul large loads, and the owner's manual specifically states that the towing capacity is light or zero, depending upon the...
