a love (?) story

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 00:55:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I will start off this review of my 1996 Toyota Camry by saying I didn't want to like the car. It was acquired due to circumstances out of my control (I smashed my Jetta!) and this beige whale came into my possession with much angst and overall...

excellent

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:34:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I mostly review cars, so books are a stretch. But aside from reading parts manuals, I occasionally pick up a book. And if its good, I can even read for more than five minutes! This book kept my eyes peeled for hours. In all honesty and as succinctly as I...

no longer competitive

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 17:41:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - After a two-week rental period with this vehicle, I got to know the in and outs fairly well in many driving conditions, and overall it was disappointing. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: - hard seats, but comfortable for long treks - noisy, overworked motor -...

The perfect digital companion

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 12:34:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This camera has been my digital companion for over a year now, and it has performed perfectly in almost every situation I've put it through, and that's been a lot to ask! I've held the camera in my hand while downhill mountain biking, let it hang off the...

Logitech Driving Force Pro: PS2 Racing has evolved

Sun, 12 Dec 2004 17:20:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - With the Playstation 2 offering such amazing graphics realism in racing games, is it really fair for a true enthusiast to play with a hand-held dual shock gamepad? True enough this wheel is expensive, but there is no better way to truly appreciate a...

Logitech MX500 Optical Mouse (930763): A graphic designer's best friend

Mon, 29 Nov 2004 15:48:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - My profession is very computer intensive, and the Apple Pro mouse that came with my Macintosh is the poorest excuse for a mouse since the 'puck' that came with the old iMac. So when looking for a new mouse I wanted something that had great contours and...

Avermedia TVBox 9 (mtvboxex9) TV Input: Look elsewhere!

Mon, 18 Oct 2004 20:29:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I'm a college student and figured I'd save some cash and space by just hooking up all my electronics to my 17" BenQ LCD monitor instead of buying a Television that would take up room and cost more money. It seems like a pretty good idea - connect a DVD...

awesome MP3 player!

Sun, 22 Aug 2004 18:13:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This ORC300 player is an amazing little machine. Upgrading from a personal CD player to this MP3 player is a world of difference - in size, usability, practicality - everything is better for a small jump in cost. The thing that made me first look at the...

A surprise in more ways than one

Sat, 21 Feb 2004 22:25:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - Recently I had the opportunity to drive a basically brand new 2003 Chrysler 300M (with 28,000 kms on it) on a 4-hour trip North to see family and friends. The car was rented, and the weather was poor - I wanted a large car that I felt secure in, and that...

holy blown bodykits, batman!

Fri, 6 Feb 2004 17:24:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This game is definitely made for the Need For Speed series - it has noticeable characteristics NFS fans will recognize right away. Elastic-like driving feel (too much or too little and you're done), detailed backgrounds, and amazing car graphics are...

Mountain Goat in a Sheeps clothing

Mon, 2 Feb 2004 16:08:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This is an excellent bike to start off your mountain biking career with. It has a cheap initial purchase price, great standard and upgradable features, and a quality name brand to back it up. Iron Horse entered the field of competitive mountain bikes...

excellent piece of work

Mon, 2 Feb 2004 15:42:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I'm going to start out by apologizing for the lack of professionalism in this review. While I can't name to you all the songs, every lyric and what I interpret that it represents, I can tell you that I have listened to it many times, and have been a fan...

efficient, affordable organization

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:01:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This little Palm came into my possession when I figured out leaving 15 crumpled sheets of paper on my desk, never the one I need, was not the way to go about living. It attracted my attention because of the color screen, the stylish 'tungsten' silver...

Sometimes it's good to be different

Sat, 30 Nov 2002 18:32:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - First of all, the person who buys a Kia is going for something a little different. It is a fact that domestic cars (as a whole) outsell imports. But when a buyer does go to an import, their attention is immediately grabbed up by the venerable Honda...

Hewlett Packard DeskJet 920c Inkjet Printer: An aging, yet capable printer

Fri, 22 Nov 2002 02:54:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - Compared to some of the new printers this tank may seem like a dinosaur. But one good thing about dinosaurs - they got the job done and they were tough! Kind of like this printer. I have accidentally dropped it onto a tile floor from 5 feet in the air,...

Apple Flat Panel iMac 700MHz G4 / 15-in. TFT / 40GB / 128MB / CD-RW: The new, more mature iMac G4

Sun, 24 Mar 2002 19:01:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - Although this is the cheapest computer manufactured by Macintosh (except for the old iMacs), it may still seem expensive to people who are used to $700 PC's, but it is much more than a regular computer. It is the newest iteration of the iMac tradition...

A good action movie, a poor war movie

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 01:24:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - After seeing this movie, I think it is a good action movie, but a poor re-creation of what actually happened. It is not like the previews might imply; a "Saving Private Ryan" type movie. By the way, I still think Saving Private Ryan is the best war movie...

A nice phone for the price

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 00:18:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - The phone I have is not exactly the same as the one in the picture...mine has the call display. But e-pinions doesn't have that model to write a review for. But my phone and this phone share everything except the caller ID display on the handset (which...

Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console: Still the best

Sat, 29 Sep 2001 16:36:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - The Playstation 2 came out a year ago and impressed the world with stunning graphics and lightning fast framerates, and continues to do so today, but with many more great games offered. Microsoft is ambling to get their overpriced X-Box on the market...

My cat loves it!

Sat, 29 Sep 2001 15:49:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I can't really say how it tastes, as I've never had the urge to try it myself, but I do know my 2-year-old cat loves the stuff. Sometimes I use it as a treat from regular dry food, and it is definitely easier for the cat to eat (and cleaner). There is...

Excellent stereo!

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 21:37:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - A few months back I was looking for a new CD deck, as my vehicle only had a cheap tape deck. I am more than happy that I bought this stereo. After carefully surveying the competition for weeks, I finally decided on the Kenwood KDC-416S, and not because...

Neon R/T= affordable muscle

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 21:24:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - The newly introduced Dodge Neon R/T is possibly one of the best buys in a compact sedan today. This market is becoming very hot with import pocket rockets all trying to beef up horsepower and lure in younger sports car buyers. But there is one name that...

Don't put it on your calendar

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 21:02:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - I don't think this movie is really worth paying very much to see. However, on a tiny screen with weak sound it would eliminate some of the best aspects of the movie - visual appeal and sound.

Tim had quite a job making a world of monkeys...

PS2's crowning title

Sat, 21 Jul 2001 00:37:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This game is truly amazing to play. As a car enthusiast, I was totally hyping the game before it came out, and for the most part, the game has not let me down in any aspect. A few quirks, but otherwise completely stunning.

Excellent quality through and through

Mon, 21 May 2001 02:13:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aknutson - This is my first scanner, so I am no pro to the business, but I can tell you that what I see on the screen after a scan truly impressed me from a scanner of this price. For those that don't have a USB port on older machines (like me), or for those that...
