Sock it to the (vodka) man!

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:20:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok, lets get something straight here....there is certainly something to be said for the component and taste breakdown of a wine, but NEUTRAL spirits, ie. Vodka, just aren't that complex. To be sure, there are definite differences between...

iTunes Online Service: Where's the Zeppelin?

Mon, 22 Dec 2003 22:42:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Bluntly, I do like the ITunes service fronted by Apple. It's a feel good, legal way of purchasing music downloads that are clean and crystal clear...you will find that the quality is that of a new CD you might find at the store. The Interface is...

Network Solutions.com: Avoid NSI: A personal Crusade

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 19:09:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - 1st things 1st: A single "HIDDEN" unhelpful rating on these negative NSI epinions tends to show up directly after posting. Here's a hint to the hidden rater...no one's buying it

I joined epinions quite some time ago and my focus...

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (N09-00048) For PC: Are you XPerienced?

Wed, 5 Jun 2002 16:43:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Have YOU donated to the Microsoft cause in the last couple of years? If not then here's your big chance!

The single most often asked question when it comes to Windows OS's is "Do I REALLY need to upgrade?". Well, it's pretty simple actually...

A hindquarter fits...

Mon, 27 May 2002 23:51:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - ...in my freezer! Yup, it does, and it's all due to the magic that IS the Foodsaver product.

I made one of the very worst mistakes a guy can make when planning a trip to Costco. Having ended an appointment late, I was not able to have lunch...

Jasc Software Paint Shop Pro 7: Adobe WHAT?

Mon, 27 May 2002 19:38:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Yes that's right, fact is most of us don't need the 600 dollar Leviathan that Adobe puts out in the form of Photoshop. Fact is there's more than enough utility in even the weakest photo editors available out there, even the "free" or LE (limited edition)...

Cheating Kodak

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 22:07:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok, right off the bat I'll be brutally honest. I needed a new printer because my old HP 700 series was getting a little long in the tooth. Not that the old 700 wasn't doing the job, it was, but it was dated and I had an extra 150 bucks and...well...ok...

Got drivers??

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 23:07:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - ...well give them to ME! One of the most horrid things to address when contemplating an upgrade to an OS...oh, who are we kidding here...when ramping up for the newest greatest MS Win product....was the driver issue. Would the old drivers work? Would you...

Control of what?

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 17:02:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - ....eggs? Larvae?....big deal! The eggs and Larvae are NOT what were biting me and my 6 cats. To be fair to the product it's not easily seen whether or not the desired effect is attained. In the instance of eggs and larvae one SHOULD attempt to remove...

Flea DEATH!

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 15:43:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Got fleas? Of course you do...if you let your cats venture into the great outdoors. Our household is one which contains 6 cats, all of which would dearly love to wander about in our fenced yard, but to date only one has proven worthy of my trust that he...

Datek:6 month experiment

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 14:22:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - I originally came to know of datek because of the very popular "streamer" free quote system they offered, even to those who did not hold accounts. My wife wanted to begin investing herself, so we opened an account with Datek and began the 6...

No lessons learned from Intel?

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 02:01:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok...so I get my new Athlon 750 and IMMEDIATELY get a box up and running. Thinking that I am king of the gaming and rendering world, I am simply astounded that I, VP of tiny Bayshops Inc. on the central coast of CA. , get to try out this latest iteration...

Treehouse Animal Foundation: My heart is not TOTALLY frozen!

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 18:56:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok, I've written several epinions , some blistering, of products I don't particularly like. To be sure, I have an opinion that's black or white on just about everything....BUT, I did want to take a moment, since I seem to be getting a fairly nice...

MoooOOOOO...can I get some hay please?

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 22:59:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok....let me start out by saying that I LOVE Southwest airlines. Probably by my title for this review, you surmise that I think SWA's planes are cattle cars. Well....you'd be right about that. The seats are jam packed in a lacking 737 airframe, and on...

Always remember that there is nothing free in this world

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 15:54:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - I've always said that before you are allowed to walk off that stage with a high school degree, you ought to have to say to a table of "judges" made up of your teachers that you sincerely believe and TRULY understand that there is absolutely...

(sniff) I sure miss 'em

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 07:51:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - I'm going to write a series of reviews of some bands you're not likely to have heard about before unless you happened to live in the midwest, particularly around the Chicago area. I'll start the series off with a review of this fine band, Goober and the...

How to get a man to do housework

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 16:36:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ok let me say this. I LIKE housework. Yep, it's heresy to say such things , but it's also the truth. I have MY way of doing things and I'm kind of picky about that. In any case, the house gets clean and it gets done in just under two hours. BUT....many...

AOL.COMplete waste of time

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 06:58:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ah, my big chance to weigh in on AOL. Been waiting for this for quite some time, national exposure and all! Too bad I have to write more than 100 words because I could sum up this service in two words, but then again I don't think the censor would allow...

Bay area gem of an ISP

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 05:54:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Well, I'm used to having 20 or more choices for a local ISP, but having escaped from Chicago last year to the place I hope to live out my years, the Monterey Bay area, I was a bit disappointed to find that I had but three choices for local service. For...

Intel's dirty little secret

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 19:30:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Yep, there's a skeleton in the Intel closet and it's the Celeron line. Dubbed "seconds" by those who despise the success of the Intel juggernaut, the little Celeron, disrespected by almost-techs everywhere, is a speed freak's dream.

Microsoft Windows 95: Crime and punishment

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 05:03:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Your crime? Wanting to enter the world of computing and the internet. Your punishment? Windows 95! Is it really that bad? Nahhh, but be aware that you'll unwillingly learn more about system/OS architecture than you'd probably planned to if you're using...

A bad idea made worse

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 01:11:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Yes, just what we need, a poorly performing ripoff of a mediocre machine. What E-machines was thinking when it created this sheep in wolf's clothing is simply beyond me. Well, that's not actually true, the company saw Apple dollar signs but forgot that...

Micro Electronics PowerSpec 7320: Underrated "superstore" computer

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:50:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Ahhh, the Powerspec line. This line is sold by Microcenter stores and is their proprietary line of fairly cheap but powerful machines. I've always liked this line for several reasons, not the least of which is their price, but one of the things people...

Had to fire the maid,the Littermaid, that is

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:20:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - Let me start off by saying that ours is a multiple cat household. 5 to be exact. To be fair to the low end model of the LitterMaid, I would suggest that it is for a household with perhaps 2 cats...no more. I have personally thrown away in disgust two low...

A king in the land of mediocrity

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 05:40:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheDOZ - King of beers? Maybe so...at least of the ones you're inclined to buy cheaply , possibly for the big game on Sunday. Make no mistake, with the bounty of microbrewed beers ( and no, I don't mean anything by plank road or any other conglomerate owned MB),...
