rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - Update : 7/11/02

I sent this one back and got a new one. The new one now locks up when I plug in the USB port to transfer songs. I even tried it with 2 other computers and it did the same thing. I wonder if anyone has one of these things that...

buy.com: a great store!

Mon, 1 Jul 2002 18:13:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I've bought about 10 different items from buy.com. Every single item had the lowest price (from http://www.shopper.com). At first I was a little skeptical of their low prices, but now I'm a loyal customer. Add to this the new price war with Amazon.com...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I've purchased memory twice from Crucial.com. Each time they had the lowest price. They also shipped it out to me in record time.

A Good Buy

Sun, 16 Jun 2002 16:10:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - The Visor Edge, a good buy? Not many people would have said that a year ago when the price was $399.00! A lot has changed since then, and at $169 (with a free case from Handspring) it's now a good buy.

I started out with a Palm III, upgraded...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I got a new Mavica FD 200 for work about 2 weeks ago. Previously I had used several Kodaks and an Olympus. My job required an easy to use camera with and a way to easily transfer photos.

Sun, 5 May 2002 10:30:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I had a Baby Trend Expedition prior to buying the Baby Jogger II. The Baby Trend was a good stroller (at $99.00) but wasn't very good for taking my toddler running.

First off, if you're going to buy one I'd recommend http://www.agees.com, I...

Baby Trend Expedition: For the money...

Wed, 24 Apr 2002 20:34:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - We bought our Baby Trend Expedition before our son was born in 2000. It was the first I'd heard of the "jogging stroller". It was $99 at Babies R Us.

We've used it quite heavily since buying it. It has held up well. It's a a great alternative...

Not bad!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - Update:

I've been using the Sonicare for a few months now. I can honestly say my teeth are noticeably whiter. I can't believe what a difference this product makes. It's amazing. I'm as skeptical as anyone about consumer products, but this one is a...

So far so good

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - We had a 7 year old Hoover Vacuum that just wasn't cutting it anymore. We have a 1 year old toddler so we are naturally vacuuming on an almost daily basis. We got the Windtunnel as a Christmas present.

It was a snap to put together. Unpack it...

The Cadillac of spas

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 11:22:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - My wife and I tested about 5 different brands of spas. We did a "wet sitting" in the top 3. After the wet test the choice was rather simple : Hot Springs simply make the best spas around.

The spa was set up and leveled for us in the backyard...

100% satisfaction

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - We had a 5 year old Kenmore Dishwasher - it was more of a dishwarmer than a washer. The dishes were never clean. My wife got sick of it and off we went to buy a new one.

We did a lot of comparison shopping and ended up with the Maytag 9100. We...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I bought a Handspring Platinum to update my Palm III.

Overall I'm very happy with the Platinum. I think it offers a good balance of speed/performance vs. price.

I paid $299 thru Handspring for the Visor with a $50 mail in rebate...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I was issued a Motorla StarTac phone at work, so it was free.

I do like this phone, but there are just too many things that annoy me about it.

#1. The antenna : It's small, easily broken and gets in the way. How much of a difference...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - My wife had an old Sears treadmill that rattled when you got on it. She looked at several treadmills and it came down to the Nautilus and Precor. The Precor was the best hands down.

We bought one of the cheapest Precor Treadmills and it was...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - My wife recently leased a 2001 Mercury Sable. She traded in her 1996 Ford Probe. We have a 10 week old and the Probe was not practical.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I have ordered over 100 prints from Shutterfly.com and have been happy with every print. Shutterfly prints aren't the cheapest, but they have been nearly perfect. The prints are identical to real photo paper and look great.

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 02:49:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I've tried about every online photo service out there, and use Zing for sharing photos.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I've owned the Nomad II for 6 months now. It has completely transformed my music habits.

I was all set for installation until they called me the day before to cancel it. A month and a half later they finally called back...

Good camera for the money

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 19:27:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - I did a lot of research and it came down to the Olympus and the Kodak DC 4800. I opted for the Olympus for the Quicktime Movie mode, which the Kodak lacked.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GRPaul349 - UPDATE :

I've owned this minivan for almost a year. I can't imagine living without it now. Other than routine maintenance the vehicle has performed flawlessly. One more than one occasion I've taken all the seats out and filled it up to capacity...
