Monsters, Inc. - another Pixar homerun

Wed, 7 Nov 2001 03:16:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - Pixar can always be counted on to do the right thing when it comes to children's movies, and they don't disappoint with this outing.

They bring to life the netherworld of Monstropolis, the home of all the monsters that jump from your closet...

Good for teens, watch checker for adults

Mon, 21 May 2001 18:35:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - Dreamworks did a great job with the graphics - the characters are very realistic, the shading and physics are all very good. Even the heroine looked great, especially the many gratuitous cleavage shots we were blessed (?) with.

The movie...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: Slots of fun!

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 11:49:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - The Handspring line of PDA's jumped on the market over a year ago. As a charter bandwagoner, I have a lot of hindsight now, as I look back on my past usage of the Visor Deluxe and the associated Springboard Modules.

The Visor comes in five...

Very functional 10-key

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 16:05:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - The Casio DL-250L sitting on my desk has been in the same spot for over seven years. I have replaced the 10-key machines on my part-time employees desks twice in that time.

The machine has large keys, with a conveniently large, well placed...

Our first minivan - now I'm hooked.

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 03:17:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - We traded in our Mercury on the Honda Odyssey, and wish I had done it much much sooner. The van has more power (15 horses) than my Grand Marquis, more room, and better gas mileage (17-25).

The van itself comes in three models:

YAY! No ugly controller

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 13:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - We bought a Honda Odyssey, and ended up with a cassette deck that had built in CD-changer controls, but no changer. Honda gets $350+ for their players, starting with a single CD player attachment.

That wasn't the route I wanted to go, but I...

No problems for me in Las Vegas

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 17:54:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - We hooked up the cable modem from COX in Las Vegas in June, and haven't slowed down since. We have problem zero from the get go, and I've talked friends into signing up as well, also with no problems.

The original cost (special) was $69.00...

Wow, I waited too long

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 04:48:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I picked up this drill, and can't put it down. The last cordless drill I bought was a 9.6 volt B&D, about 10 years ago. It was top of the line at the time, and so underpowered, with such a short battery life, that I couldn't see any reason to buy a...

Stamps.com: Good deal, getting expensive

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 18:26:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I got an offer for free postage to try, so I did. I've used postage meters before, and while they're nifty, they are WAY to expensive for the benefit. I don't need the postage locked up - I trust the people in my office - and while it's nice to be able...

The Holy Grail of cells

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:50:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I bought this when it was time to start looking for a replacement for my 6100 (check out that review). I probably would not have purchased it, as the price was $199.00, but AT&T and Nokia offered rebates and credits that lowered my cost to $34.00...

Good phone, few quirks

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:20:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I bought the 6160 (AT&T) when it first came out, because it was smaller and sleeker than the flip phone.

It has a very acceptable memory - 100 names and numbers - and it is easy to navigate the phone book. You can enter the first letter of...

Toy Story 2 is #1

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 02:44:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - We had to get this, and I am watching it now. Our son, the little dictator, is 2, and his favorite words are Woody and Buzz. He loves TS1, and all the characters. So we picked up TS2 for his birthday, and can only hope it doesn't wear out.

Concept Kitchen writeRIGHT: Big need for your Visor

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 02:15:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I purchased these after a "friend" (how DARE he touch my Visor screen w/ his grungy dirty fingers!!) poked and prodded his way through a test of my new toy. I had also been using my Visor for about a month, and had noticed it starting to get...

All Advantage: All Advantage, NoAdvantage, and AdvantageGrams

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 01:28:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I was a quick signer with AllAdvantage, mostly because I heard Clark Howard say they were ok. I have also earned several checks from the service. However, I seem to have the most skeptical, cold hearted friends in the world, as none would take my...

Marriott: Lynnwood Washington

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 02:30:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - We've stayed at the Lynnwood Marriott 3 or 4 times, and it is always way above average. The rooms are cavernous, with full size refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, and fireplaces. We're talking kitchens, living rooms, desks w/ two (TWO!!) phone lines and...

Good little printer for the $$

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 12:23:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I have run 10,000+ prints through my 870, and it's been very reliable. I use mine mostly for DOS-based text printing. It's quick - approx. 8ppm, and the looks are adequate. It is also economical, as the drum and toner are separate parts, so you don't...

Sable, Lynx, or Jynx?

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 11:43:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - Our '93 Sable GS Wagon was a steal when we bought it - five years old and $2,000 under LOW book. We were ecstatic. This thing is loaded. Full power, digital dash, extra radio controls near the gauges for the driver, third seat, everything but leather...

Like the car...but why pay more for crown vic?

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 11:06:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobhob - I really like my Grand Marquis, even though I am a touch out of the demographic for this car (27 Male at purchase). I was looking at the time for a Crown Vic, and couldn't find any. The Mercury dealer had a lot of these, so I bought one. I would highly...
