Digital Delivered: DigitalDelivered.com is dishonest... Buyer Beware!

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 23:58:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - Note: Make SURE to read my Updates at the bottom to see just HOW crooked this company is! 2/14/07 update: If you think Epinions ratings for them are accurate (after reading my review, you probably won't), then check out their score at...

2003 KIA Sorento: Yes, there really is something to the negative Kia hype, unfortunately.

Tue, 11 Feb 2003 01:04:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - This review was extremely positive originally, but I have been forced to update my review. This goes to show you that you cannot judge a vehicle after owning it only briefly. Problems tend to reveal themselves over time, not in the first week. So...

I traveled 3000 miles on my ZX-11!

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 02:15:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I owned a '94 ZX-11 from 1995 to 2000, and having one of these is a one of a kind experience. I've grown up riding motorcycles, starting with a little 50cc Honda when I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember I would ride from my mom to my dad, and dad would...

Microsoft Visual FoxPro Professional Edition 6.01 (340-00793) for PC: Visual FoxPro -- Microsoft's Little Secret

Fri, 26 Jul 2002 17:34:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I spent about 9 years in some version of FoxPro, including this version, so please forgive me if I sound a bit fanatical. It's a great product that has gotten better over the years. A development product like Visual FoxPro is highly technical and for...

YouCanSave.com: This site should be named www.screwyou.com

Tue, 16 Jul 2002 16:40:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I ordered from site this after I saw the Flat Hose offered on television. It sounded like a great deal--I could get the same thing for less. Plus, I'd called the guys selling it on television and they were out of stock and backed up for 5 weeks. The...

Progressive Group - Auto: Progressive Auto Insurance: Totally Unprofessional

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 21:29:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I've got a motorcycle that's fairly expensive to insure. I've insured it through Progressive for years, dropping the insurance during the winter months because I don't ride it then, and restarting coverage during the summer months. I've always used...

Pizza Hut: I got your customer service right here, Pizza Hut!

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 19:26:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I've eaten at Pizza Hut lots of times over the years, and it seems to me that it's getting worse and worse. The food hasn't changed a whole lot--perhaps it's a bit greasier, but that's about it. Most of the problems I've seen are not the food (even...

The Unsung Villains Steal the Show

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 03:19:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I just got through watching The Rock for about the 5th or 6th time. The Rock has an all-star cast, composed of Nicolas Cage, Shawn Connery, Ed Harris, David Morris, Michael Biehn, and William Forsythe, and several lesser-known actors, such as Claire...

Comics Buyer's Guide Magazine: CBG: 56 Pages of Newsprint, and getting Thinner by the Day!

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 14:41:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I've been reading Comic Buyer's Guide, or CBG, since around 1990 when a friend turned me on to them. It was the heyday of comics back then. Speculation drove comic sales, which frequently sold into the millions of copies for a single comic book. A...

FoxPro Advisor Magazine: FoxPro Advisor: A Good Resource for Database Developers

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 11:30:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - When I first got on Epinions, I'd written a review of FoxPro Advisor, but honestly, I was new and it wasn't very detailed. I had no idea what the expectations were of the Epinions community. I have now deleted that review. Thank you for reading this...

The Sopranos: A Soap for Psychos

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 04:16:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I just finished watching the DVD set, which consists of 13 episodes and some extra material (total of 4 DVDs). I got an excellent deal on the set: $57 shipped from Digital Eyes (I preordered and used a 25% off coupon). Best price on the set is...

A Unique Comic Book Genre Movie

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 14:56:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - Unbreakable is a difficult movie to review without revealing the plot, and trust me, if you've not seen it you don't want it revealed. The plot being a surprise is the key to enjoying this movie. I won't reveal it in this review, so if you...

Adams Mark: Adams Mark: Not Worth the Money

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 01:11:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - Until this year, I stayed at the Adams Mark hotel in Columbus for an annual convention. I get a special rate of $85/night. I am not sure of the regular rate, but it's considerably higher.

I feel fairly negative about the Adams Mark, but...

Motel 6: Not bad, but I've seen cheaper and better

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 19:54:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I recently attended a convention in Columbus, and stayed at the Motel 6 on I-71. I had checked with several big hotels, most notably the new Hilton at Easton Town Center ($85/night, even with the discounted convention rate) and the Marriot ($90/night),...

Iglou Internet Services: Iglou: The best ISP!

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 04:11:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I first got on the Internet full-time in 1992. I've moved around a bit, and because of this I've had various Internet service providers. I first investigated Iglou for my boss around 1993 when they were only in Louisville (hence, the name...

Dell Dimension 4100 Series: The Best PC I've Ever Owned!

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 22:39:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I am a database developer, and have owned probably a dozen different PCs since 1990, and have sold PCs and helped others with decisions about which PC to buy. I can recommend the Dell 4100 without reservation.

I am upgrading from a 6-month...

Sun, 29 Oct 2000 04:04:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I purchased this PC a little over a year ago and recently replaced it with a Compaq Presario 7478 533 mhz (see that review at http://www.epinions.com/cmd-review-1798-8C08137-39DD4F3C-prod1), and now...

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 21:45:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I installed this CD receiver into my '94 Camaro last week, and I am *highly* impressed. This receiver replaced the Z919 model that can play MP3 files (check out my review at

GEICO Direct: A good deal--with a dash of caution

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 23:05:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I'm one of those "reformed" bad drivers. All through college I danced on the edge of losing my license. In my youth, they got me for racing, reckless driving, speeding, going the wrong way on a one-way street, and probably a lot more. I wasn't as...

Pikeville College: The Good, the Bad, and the obligatory Ugly

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 02:03:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - It's been 8 years since I graduated Pikeville College. I spent 5 years there, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's an open enrollment institution, which means just about anyone can get in, as long as you pay. It's an expensive school... back in the late...

Panasonic KX-P6500 Laser Printer: Panasonic KX-P6500: A space-saving laser printer for a tight budget

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 20:25:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I bought this printer a couple of years ago. It was the display model, and I didn't get any documentation or drivers, and had to look them up on the Internet. I paid $250. What a deal!

This printer has some limitations. It's only 6 pages...

eBay: Ebay: A Bittersweet Experience

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 04:42:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I've using both a seller and buyer on eBay for several years, and over time I've seen both good and bad there.

eBay is really, really good for finding stuff that you can't find anywhere else. This is probably its greatest strength. You can...

Early Antonio Banderas movie is one of his best!

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 03:15:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - I didn't even know who Antonio Banderas was when this movie came out. I didn't really expect much, but was just hoping for a decent action movie. It's not high art, but I got more than I expected.

The woman Banderas loved was murdered by a...

X-Men: The Best Comic Movie Yet

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 02:24:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - Talk about anticipation! After seeing the mess Marvel has made with previous movie attempts, I was a little nervous about X-Men. Still, being a comic book fan I was anxious to see the finished result. Wow! What a treat. I enjoyed Blade, but X-Men...

An Excellent Digital Camera at a Bargain Price

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 01:16:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bkiser - Since you've probably got other reviews available telling you about the camera, I'm instead going to tell you some pointers that you might not find elsewhere. I just bought my first digital camera from Wal-Mart a month ago. I thought $100 was a...
