DVD? VHS? Can't Decide? Then GoVideo!!

Thu, 16 Jan 2003 00:08:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Go Video 4250

** Edited January 19, 2003: After a discussion about my new DVD/VCR player with my very techno-savy brother-in-law, it was brought to my attention that I must have read my manual wrong. When I got home I quickly realized that...

QVC = Quite a Verbose Commercial

Mon, 30 Apr 2001 01:37:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - QVC used to be my commercial relief. Whenever a commercial came on I would immediately change channels and watch QVC for the two/three minute period. My youngest sister used to say that I was trading short commercials for a long one. Maybe she was...

Centipede - Stomping on My Memories

Tue, 3 Apr 2001 16:46:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - For me, in the early 80's arcade games were the height of all visits to the mall, pizza joints and movie theaters. I remember well literally being pulled away from games as movies were starting or dinners were growing cold and the stares from the kids...

Color Me in Love with HP Deskjet 680c

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 03:34:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Four years ago, I bought my first color printer, the Hewlett Packard Deskjet 680c. This was a big step for me since I had used a dot matrix for home use for so long. Although I knew I wanted an HP, the purchase decision for the actual model was...

Archived Web Services Reviews: EZSweeps.com - Are You A Winner?

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 22:30:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - As with so many sites, I don't remember how I found EZsweeps.com, but am glad that I did. Since I sign up for most every interesting looking contest site that I come across (probably in the thousands by now), there is no way for me to keep track...

Sony KV-27S40: Sony Trinitron KV-27S40 - Not Your Average Boob Tube

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 16:31:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - As mentioned in a previous review on VCRs, I have always been devoted to products by Zenith. For the first time in almost two decades I decided to get out of my 'rut' and try something new. Sony is a name that is recognizable even to my limited knowledge...

JVC VP650U = Just Vunderful Cee?

Thu, 21 Sep 2000 21:01:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - In the past I've always tried to purchase VCRs of the same brand as my television, thinking that was the way to have them run more smoothly. I had owned Zeniths before, but a couple years ago was told that they were being 'phased out'. <This turns out...

Citibank - Plastic Peace

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 02:55:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - My wallet has been home to a piece of plastic bearing the Citibank name since 1991. While I don't think this constitutes any sort of record, it does give me some sense of security knowing that I have a long standing relationship with a company of this...

Grand Am, Am I

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 19:53:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - I have been crazy about the body styling of this vehicle ever since I first saw its twin 'sister' car, the Oldsmobile Calais in the mid 1980's. My sister bought a Calais (ordered to her specifications) and it was such a cool looking car that I...

For That Man in Your House That Won't Put the Lid Down

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 01:59:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Maybe I should qualify my title - "Forget Teaching The Cat To Use The Toilet, If You Have A Teachable Man, This May Be The Product For You!" For the last five years my two cats have shared their home with me and have demanded two litter...

State Farm - More Than Auto Insurance

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 20:51:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - As with most kids, I followed my parents lead when I first started driving and needed automobile insurance. State Farm was their insurance company and so it became mine also.

Auto Insurance

Even though their agent was on the...

Houston's In The Big EZ

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 20:54:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - When it comes to dining out, living in New Orleans has surely spoiled me. There is a saying there: While most people eat to live, New Orleanians live to eat. This statement may be exaggerating a bit, but it's not completely off the mark...

Eureka Corded Stick Brooms: Eureka- A Deadbeat Dustbuster

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:56:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - During my search for a good vacuum cleaner, I decided to purchase something to last me in the interim. I'd heard about various stickbrooms and thought the Eureka name was a good one. Using our host, Epinions.com, I read enough rave reviews to lay my bets...

ICQ: One ICQ Con (Literally) Beware!

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 20:36:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Several months ago I downloaded and installed the instant chat client ICQ, version 2000a. There are quite a few new features in this version, one of which makes you vulnerable to all ICQ users. Aptly called Web Aware, this features allows your...

See You In Your Nightmares

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 14:35:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Stephen King has been the creator of some of the best sci-fi reads I've ever encountered. While most people know him from his works that eventually make it to the big screen, such as The Stand and Carrie, I believe some of his best writings are...

The Y2K Outlook Is Good

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 19:47:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Although I still use other email clients, calendars and PIMs at home, I have been using MS programs exclusively at work for over a year. The first six months was something of an 8 hour-a-day battle. Why battle? Because I didn't want to change. I was...

The Dirt Devil And I Are Doing It

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 21:37:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - I admit to being something of an impulse buyer when it comes to some items. But regarding most ordinary, even necessary things, I manage to do quite well with the on-its-last-legs-but-still-working ones. For instance, my alarm clock is almost 20 years...

SWF and Clueless @ The Sims

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 23:11:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Six weeks ago, I had never heard of the Sims. Sure, I saw a number of reviews on it, but skipped them since I did not think I could adequately rate something I knew nothing about. <In other words, I didn't even know it was a game.> Then I stumbled...

Fri, 26 May 2000 17:20:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Schwans entered my life about six months ago while I was visiting a friend. At one point there was a knock at the door and Bob the Schwans Man was there offering his goodies. He showed us the Schwan Book and offered a free ½ gallon of ice...

What's a Wachovia?

Mon, 22 May 2000 21:21:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Over a year ago I made a significant move. Amongst all the other changes, switching banks was not the least of my worries. Since I had a history with my bank spanning some 15 years for various accounts, loans and credit, I hated the thought of starting...

Hotmail: Who's Hot for Hotmail??

Wed, 17 May 2000 22:25:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - I have had a Hotmail account for longer than I can remember. Do I use it? Sometimes. Do I like it? Yes and no. There are several reasons why I have both good and bad things to say about this web-based email site.

The Good

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - How do you spell naive? Let me show you the way...

Hopeful Expectations

In early October 1999, I signed up at ValuePay's site. I had been using the AllAdvantage viewbar since July and was doing pretty good considering I...

I didn't want to like Internet Explorer

Thu, 11 May 2000 21:16:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Eons ago, my internet life started with Netscape and I was convinced it was the better of the two browsers. I've been using Internet Explorer at work for a year now and at home for the last two months.

A Bulb Goes Off

Testnow.com: TestNow is Testing My Patience

Wed, 3 May 2000 20:40:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - Always on the lookout for new surveys, I joined TestNow five months ago. I had been with Greenfield Online for over four months and had given my views on many subjects (but hadn't seen a dime for my efforts at that point). After spending some time...

MyCorkboard: MyCorkboard - Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 03:31:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WendyT - After reading a review by Happy2000usa about MyCorkboard, I decided that this was another superfluous program that I had to try. (You really ought to see my system tray.)

When I first downloaded it, I spent some time fooling with the...
