rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HomeBizWriter - Although cats tend to be naturally fastidious creatures, it's still a good idea to give them an occasional brushing.

Who says I need a New Fax?

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 20:44:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HomeBizWriter - There are, of course, no reviews for this fax machine, as it was already some years obsolete when Epinions went "live." It might be argued that it's a waste of time to review a piece of gear you might only find at a garage sale, or maybe at the Goodwill...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HomeBizWriter - It really feels like you've left the US already when the Air Canada flight attendants start their pre-flight routine in both English and French.... even when you're sitting on a plane in Austin, TX. Appropriate, it seemed, as we started on a...

Fri, 26 May 2000 19:23:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author HomeBizWriter - I find it somewhat of a challenge to review a product such as a coffeemaker. After all, it is just supposed to sit there on the kitchen counter and make our coffee every morning. EVERY morning. Reliably. Easily. And perhaps that's why the Proctor...
