Big and beautiful

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 15:17:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - Being able to store an entire DVD/CD collection is cool, but it's pretty clear that the user interface is not yet mature. Many features work only in particular situations, which may not always be obvious. (e.g. it's far from obvious how to select a disk...

Quality + Value = Sony

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 15:13:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I don't know of another player that offers so much value. The S-Video connection is great. I have this unit connected to a Sony Trinitron set, and the picture quality is quite nice. The remote control has a logical layout, and is extremely easy to...

Portable Perfection

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 17:40:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I've been doing research on portable dvds for like 7 months -- monitoring their progress -- seeing if the novelty pricing would go down --- reading all of the overheating messages on earlier units etc.

Finally I just broke down and purchased...

JVC Excellence

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 17:02:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I bought this DVD player recently and had done my research. I read all of the reviews on amazon, but I have a friend who works in electronics and claims that it is really good and one of their best sellers. When I first hooked it up, it worked great. The...

You Get What You Pay For

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 17:48:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I bought the RCA model for one reason - it was the cheapest model available at the time. I thought that I was getting a good deal; I could watch DVD movies without scraping too deep into my bank account...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I've had my ReplayTV 3020 for a week now and thought i would express my views on it.

Pioneering Great DVD Technology

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 14:13:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - Let me just say that although this is the best DVD player I've seen so far, I've only owned 2. And that included this one. :) But that doesn't mean it's great. My first DVD player was a cheap Sanyo that was on as a WalMart special. Although it seemed to...

Simtastic

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 18:49:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - This game is very entertaining! I have been using a computer since the early 90's, but never bought a computer game before. I was never interested in games. That is, until I read about the Sims on Amazon.com and then started reading some of the reviews...

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 18:42:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - The first time I saw this player, I knew I had to get one! I hate dragging CDs back and forth from home to work, this seemed the perfect solution for me. And for the most part, it sure is. The sound quality, storage capacity, ease of ripping and adding...

Palm IIIxe Not For Me

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 18:27:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - When I first got my Palm III two years ago I loved it right away - it was so easy to use, and the handwriting recognition took just a day getting used to. Since, it's been a source of much joy and almost as much grief. I'll explain why:

When I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - Edward Norton stars along with Ben Stiller and Jenna Elfman in "Keeping the Faith," a comedy which also marks Norton's directorial debut. This is a funny, sometimes hilarious film, that succeeds in maintaining the humor even while dealing in a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - The Gateway Performance 1000 Deluxe is a tremendous machine.

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 00:32:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I signed up to host with C I Host a few months ago. It was a little slow going, but eventually things were setup and I uploaded my site. For a while things seemed to be going well, and the next thing I knew, my site no longer worked and I could not...

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 00:23:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - I have been with 1-Host for over a year now, and I have never encountered a problem. Before switching I jumped from host to host in search of an honest company. Many places make outrageous claims that they can't hope to keep, such as unlimited storage...

Too Much Money?

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 00:05:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - This system strikes by as far too pricey, even though the price has fallen dramatically in the past few months. Still, for what you are getting when you purchase this system, you should not be shelling out this much cash. This is Dell's top of the line...

Dell Dimension L433: Great bargain buy

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 22:11:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - Just a small notch above the L400, this machine bumps you to the next century in processor Mhz. I've heard people say that they haven't noticed the difference between a Celeron and a Pentium III, and I'm going to tell you the truth about this. If you...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bobchezule - Here is Dell's attempt at the budget PC. I used this machine at work for two months and I must say I wasn't thrilled. I believe that this PC only appeals to a small market of people. True, it is dirt cheap at less than $900, but as they say, you get...
