rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

This is the final review in my trilogy of Printer Reviews (HP LaserJet 3150i and the Lexmark Z12 being the other two). While the Lexmark was a temporary printer, I purchased the HP 952c as my main color printer of choice. For the...

I was given the Leatherman PST II as a gift a year ago. I have since repeated the “favor” by giving one of these to my brother (albeit a more souped-up version). This version has all the features I would want without extra bulk,...

HP LaserJet 3150i Printer: Is more merrier? When you get everything, will everything be good?

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 03:36:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

For the longest time I owned an HP 4m and loved it. For some strange reason, I decided I wanted an all-in-one Multi-function printer (printer, fax machine, photocopier and scanner). Actually I wanted the flexibility to do all of...

A Good Printer under $50? Mikey likes it, he likes it!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

Being a traveler, I ended up back in Iowa without my printers (both in storage elsewhere -- a HP LaserJet 3150i and HP DeskJet 952C). I needed to make some prints before I had a chance to pick up my printers, so I went out seeking...

Worthy of a John Stossel 20/20 Episode, not a 350-page book

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 04:10:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ general impression ]

My initial reaction after completing this book was, is that all? Don’t get me wrong, the basic concept of “savers” becoming the millionaires is well supported but it doesn’t provide any payoff in this book. Any of these...

Shave and a haircut…or maybe just some basic trimming

This is the last episode in my Trilogy of the shaving world. Previously I have reviewed the Norelco 5825XL and the Braun 5414 electric shavers. The other two items in my arsenal are the Norelco T-5500 and the Gillette Mach 3...

High Production Value, Low on the Substance

Don’t get mad at me, I’m just the messenger. I realize many people probably love Shaggy -- Orville Richard Burrell -- and this album. I’ve tried to be fair to help those people on the fence. Listen to some samples online before...

A slim profile shaver that provides a decent shave for the traveler

Sun, 18 Feb 2001 00:05:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

I recently decided to get a backup electric shaver because my Norelco 5825XL, which I love, is a little bulky. I also didn’t want to pack and unpack my travel bag, so I wanted something I could leave packed for trips. Although in...

Look no farther for that quality, razor-less Shave!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

My nickname is college for scruffy. I was known for not shaving as frequently as I should. I was going for the George Michael / Don Johnson “shadow” look. But employers don’t always like that, so I broke down two years ago and...

Soaring on the Internet with a good range of services and good rates

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 23:23:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - [ history ]

A common theme about my reviews is travel (I’ll be ranking the airlines soon). I’ve had about 10 mailing addresses (fewer living quarters) in the last 6 years. This has made me really appreciate having “virtual” services, which is...

I started this service after I received a notice for a free six-month trial (through E*Trade). I’ve been using the service for about 9 months now and have been very happy with it.

I was looking for a control device that was different than the standard mouse. The traditional mouse was putting a lot of stress on my wrist. I went to a local Computer Superstore and browsed down the input device aisle trying out all...

I actually inherited this vacuum cleaner from an ex-roommate. It is the best vacuum cleaner I've had and works very well for my many cleaning tasks!

Great pair of inexpensive headphones

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bczernik - ** UPDATE MAY 2007! ** I am still using these as my main computer headphones, which I use a lot. I run over the cord with my chair a lot, get them tangled, but they are still working very well. I also purchased a wireless set of Sennheiser's (different...

Solid Performance but nothing flashy

I've used this computer for about a year for work. It is the corporate standard and is decent in that role. I have no problems with the computer and have used it instead of the OmniBook 900 -- which I was originally given. I wanted the...
