Constant jams, slow startup, bad printer!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - All-in-one printer machines are can be hit or miss, and the HP Photosmart C7280 is a MISS! I have owned and used several HP printers and this has been one of the worst.I initially purchased this printer last year because it was on sale at newegg...

It works well, but it still costs too much

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - I purchased this adapter in February 2009 for $65, and that was a special sale. Comparable USB wifi adapters could be had for $35 or less.The XBOX 360 was obviously designed for this adapter, and the adapter was obviously designed for the XBOX 360...

It's a document reader, and that's it

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - When I was in college I was a big fan of the Sony CLIE (2001-2003). The PDA broke and I decided to get a Palm TX last summer to replace it. I'm focusing on practical usability here. I'll address the features and how they work in real life 1...

Continental Connection - highly informal, inconsistent quality

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:58:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Continental Connection, operated by Colgan Air, is affiliated with Continental Airlines. I think it should not be. The quality and customer experience does not compare to the mainline carrier. Frequently I fly from Houston - Waco, TX and back...

Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor: Great motivator for working out

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:19:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - I've been using the F11 for 2 weeks now. I purchased it on the recommendation of several personal trainers at the gym I go to. My goal is to lose weight and keep muscle mass. I do both strength training and cardio. I'll structure my review...

Aiming for a 165+, go somewhere else

Tue, 8 Jun 2004 00:50:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Based on Austin, Texas local office: Before you take a preparation course, think of what you can do with that money. $1200 is a lot of money, you can spend $250-300 and purchase every LSAT administered up to the most recent test along with a...

Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5510 All-In-One Thermal Printer: Only worth it with a price drop

Wed, 26 May 2004 20:19:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - I don't like this machine but I'll tell you why our family has it. Pros: Works without a computer Most of these features work without the computer on, but for some reason you need to run the installation CD one time before a lot of the...

A waste of time and money

Mon, 5 Jan 2004 15:45:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - I have bought so far 5 different test prep books in search of the strategies that work best for me. REA's book and CD-ROM package are pretty useless. Let me explain why. The book is 400+ pages and comes with a CD-ROM. The only problem is, nearly...

Sun, 4 Jan 2004 02:28:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Barnes and Noble is sometimes cheaper than Amazon.com and I use it as a strong second choice. Shipping cost and speed is on par with Amazon. Orders are accurate and the books are delivered new, clean and in good packaging. The website is a little more...

10 tests, no more, no less

Sun, 4 Jan 2004 02:24:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - This book is basically 10 LSAT tests bound together in book form. There isn't much of an introduction or any kind of preface to the book. There are instructions and very general advice in taking the test (answer as many questions possible, don't dwell,...

Hilarious!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - A review by my sister(10): Matilda is a book for people who have a sence of humor, but most of all if you can understand scarcasim. I thought this for me was really good because I could picture myself in the book as being Matilda which was a great...

Not a whole lot better than a PBS program

Sat, 3 Jan 2004 00:15:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - This is an average quality IMAX documentary. The title, The Living Sea, tells you what the movie is going to be about. I watched the movie in the Houston Museum of Natural Science at their IMAX theatre. Most of the people at the movie were parents...

Good compact 35mm point and shoot - not magical though

Wed, 31 Dec 2003 01:54:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - I must have read 70 reviews on this camera from different photography websites recommending this camera. A friend of mine whose hobby is photography highly recommended this. I needed a camera for some time. I know digital camera's are on the market,...

Great value (after rebates)

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 03:23:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Lightweight, big screen, great price, good performance makes this the perfect laptop for a college student. Background: My brother and I were looking for a laptop for him to buy for his freshmen year in college (Fall 2003). We purchased this...

Average for a name-brand monitor

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 02:23:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Brief Background: I owned an IBM P50 Monitor since 1995, a Trinitron CRT, that served me well until June 2002 when it burned out. I needed a new monitor, so I went to Fry's to buy one. Flat panel (LCD's) were fairly affordable, about $300 for...

Okay "camera". Really just a webcam on steroids

Tue, 11 Nov 2003 05:44:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - This camera is a good deal at $100 or less. The best $150 camera is probably the Fuji Finepix 2650. In any case, the camera has a lot of limitations. The battery life for this is very short, regardless of using a rechargeable battery or not. It doe...

Perfect for a college student

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 21:36:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - For value conscious college students, this is the best PDA on the market, assuming you get it for less than $250. Going on that, here's why:

1) Display

This TFT Reflective front-lit 320x320 screen produces more than 65,000 colors...

Good for a quick buzz, but not much else

Sun, 19 Aug 2001 17:48:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - After its all said and done, Pokemon Pinball is just a pinball game. Great for quick bursts of entertainment, but not much else.

This game has only two things going for it:

1) Pokemon affiliation

2) The rumble pack

Gameplay:...

Good name, BAD game

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Introduction:

Disney has a knack for developing a loyal following, and it serves as a useful marketing tool. However, Mickey's Racing Adventure is nothing more than a brand backing a terrible game.

Thu, 4 Jan 2001 21:35:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - The original mouse that came with my computer no longer worked, so I bought a new one. Mind you, this was before optical mice were available.

Good points:

The mouse itself is simple to use and you probably will see it attached to...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Houston: Price and quality good, yet confusing

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 18:42:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Sprint has advertised their PCS service recently that I thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I think

Price:

I got the best deal in town. $50 for 3500 minutes and free wireless web for 6 months and free activation. I did pay for the...

Gets the job done

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 00:19:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - The HP 4050 is the best printer you can get for your money spent. My library has five and they work great. About 1000 pages get printed everyday a machine. Its supposed to have a duty cycle of 65,000 pages a month, but ours never reach that number. Let...

Good water, pain to get it

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 19:31:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Tap water isn't great, but bottle water is too expensive. The Brita water filter seemed promising because it struck me as a compromise. The problem is, comprimises really don't leave anyone happy.

Lets start with the pros:

1) The...

Not Yet

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 18:24:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author afhouston - Remember the saying, "There are no free things in life". It's not completely true, yet it means a lot. It means the only free things you can get are bad.

Take FreeDSL for example. I signed up in January 2000. Their service has come...
