A good choice for a budget MP3 player

Tue, 19 Nov 2002 17:21:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - The RIO ONE is an updated version of the "Diamond RIO" MP3 player, which was one of the first portable MP3 players available in the US. Since then MP3 players have taken off, and are available in a wide variety of styles and feature/price ranges.

This entry-level learning remote is an excellent value

Mon, 18 Nov 2002 18:56:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - The home theater setup in my apartment pretty simple. TV, Receiver, VCR, and DVD player. So a grand total of 4 remotes. I suppose I could deal with having 4 remotes on the coffee table, but I hate clutter.

There are 2 types of universal...

LiteOn CD-R drives are good values

Mon, 18 Nov 2002 14:48:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - This will be a short review because there really it's all that much you can say about a CD Burner. I have had a 16101B CD Writer in my computer for almost a year now. I burn about 25 cd's a week and usually buy the cheapest brand of blank cd's unless...

If you want a big monitor this is an excellent choice.

Thu, 14 Nov 2002 14:00:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - Ok I admit it.... Flat-panel LCD monitors are so much cooler and sexier than traditional CRTs. But they also cost about four times as much for the same amount of screen space, and they have another significant disadvantage that most people don't realize...

One Rocking System - You Will Not Be Disappointed

Mon, 11 Nov 2002 17:39:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - IMPORTANT:

--

No matter what system you ultimately buy, make sure you buy it from an AUTHORIZED dealer or your warranty might be worthless. And just because a merchant says they are authorized on their website does not automatically not...

This "dream system" is a dissapointment

Fri, 1 Nov 2002 13:37:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - Up until buying the "DVD Dream System" DAV-C900, I was a big fan of Sony products. For just a little more money, you got more features, and better quality/reliability, or so I thought.

If you're new to home theater, or just want to set up a...

The ZX3 is a great little car

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 17:05:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I purchased my first-ever brand new car from Kip Killmon's Tyson's Ford in Vienna, VA in October 2001. The experience at the dealership was straightforward and pleasant. I got a dark green ZX3 with the power & premium package, manual transmission, ABS,...

Ug this thing is terrible

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 15:23:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - This is not a review of a specific model per se, but rather a conglomeration of many Cavaliers that I have driven over the past several years. One was a base model sedan with no cruise control that I was forced to take on a long trip. Another was a...

You can do better.

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 14:57:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I had a Red 2000 Taurus SES as a loaner car for almost 2 weeks. I put almost 1000 miles on it in a combination of city driving and long trips.

Overall I was mostly disappointed with Ford's family sedan, but it did have some good points I...

MyPoints.com: I love MyPoints!

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 16:43:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I have been with MyPoints for a long time. Some of you might not remember but there used to be a service called Bonus Mail, and then they merged with MyPoints. To date, I have earned about 20,000 points, and most of those have gone towards restaurant...

my 2nd favorite Star Trek Movie

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 22:53:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I like this movie more each time I see it. When it came out in 1991 I was 13, and I can remember going with my friend to see it at least 4 or 5 times (although he will deny it). At that age I was too young to appreciate many of the lines in the movie...

pretty good phone but lacking in some areas

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 17:22:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I didn't buy my R-280LX, it was given to me by AT&T because I work part-time at Best Buy trying to get people to part with their money and sign on with AT&T for their wireless service needs.

Generally speaking, I like the phone, but it...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Philadelphia: good plan, good coverage, bad cust. service

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 16:36:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I started with SPRINT PCS when I moved here in May of 2000. I chose the night & weekend minute option, as well as a one-year “advantage agreement” (a.k.a. contract). So for 29.99 I get 180 anytime minutes, and 380 night and weekend minute. At the...

Good choice, can't go wrong!

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:35:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I stated my CompuBank account because they had a promotion with Cybergold to give new account holders $50. They also give you 1200 Clickmiles, and I used them to get a $20 gift certificate to Olive Garden. The sign-up process was fairly easy, and I got...

Not very competitive, but you could do far worse

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:33:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I admit... a started my Citi F/I account because they gave me $100, plus I was away at college at the time, and had been mailing my deposits and checking my balances over the phone that whole time anyway, so I figured a Net Bank made a lot of sense. I...

lots of car for your hard-earned $$

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 17:58:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I'm 22 years old, and I know that Grand Marquis are typically "grandpa-mobiles" (ever my Grandfather calls my car that), but for me it made a lot of sense. I wanted a car with a quiet ride, a lot of features, good power, rear-wheel drive, and...

Amica is Great... if you get approved

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 17:38:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - I'm a 22 year old male who has been insured with Amica since I was 16. First on my parents policy, and then on my own since I graduated college. Their rates are very competitive. From time to time I have called Geico and Progressive (you know, the...

Not really all that bad.....

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 14:46:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benminer - This was my first car. I bought it for $400 from the guy down the street in early 96. I kept it until May 1999 when it sold it to a friend for about the same amount of money. It had 108,000 miles when I bought it.

Good points:
