Big, a little quirky, but A STEAL for the money!!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I was very happy with my Sony RMV-L900 for a couple of years. I eventually found it lacking in a couple of areas. Namely, I had certain functions on certain components that were rarely used. These functions were either not programmed at all, or I could...

Now where did I put that Accord...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I was so lucky to receive the flashy, exciting, beige Malibu as my rental car from Enterprise, the pick-you-up-when-we-get-around-to-it company (read my review). What a trip I was in for.

From the outside, I guess this thing isn't too bad...

Never ever ever again

Mon, 2 Jul 2001 15:37:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - Today I had my first, and last, experience with Enterprise. This is the first time I've ever used a rental car before. Someone backed into my car, causing a small amount of damage that needed fixing. I thought Enterprise would be convenient because...

Finally bought one

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I'd been researching these for a long time and finally decided to jump in. I loved the concept from the beginning. In a word, a TiVo (okay, okay, a digital network recorder with TiVo service, herein TiVo) lets you watch what you want, when you want...

Good all-around receiver

Mon, 18 Jun 2001 11:26:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - After I graduated from college and had a real paycheck, I decided it was time to upgrade from my aging 2 channel receiver. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, but I do love good-sounding equipment and pretty much anything electronic.

I was...

Finally! One remote!

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 15:15:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - You know how it goes. Start out with a TV and VCR. Your VCR remote is "universal" and will control your TV, but not the sleep timer or the picture-in-picture. So you wind up getting your TV remote back out, but that's okay, because it's only...

Well made unit

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - My wife and I had been wanting to get a saltwater tank sometime in the future, but we weren't prepared for the startup cost involved. When we returned from our honeymoon, lo and behold, a 30 gallon tank had magically appeared in our apartment. My new...

Price drop == done deal

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 14:24:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I purchased my StarTac to replace my aging Qualcomm 2700. I had used the phone for about a year, cancelled the service for a year, then reactivated it when I didn't have the money (or need, so I thought) to buy a new phone. The company I consult for...

DVD: Take the plunge

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 14:41:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I received this prize as a result of winning an online auction. I was supposed to receive the base model Sony, but after reading the reviews here and elsewhere, I'm happy I got this one instead.

This is Toshiba's base model, but the features...

Appalling song in commercial

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - After receiving some negative feedback about this review, I shall add an apology that this is offtopic and goes against eopinions.com's movie review guidelines. I am a writer of reviews that are usually very highly recommended. However, I was very...

Palm IIIe Personal Organizer: Good for the low- to medium-powered user

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 14:14:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I got my Palm IIIe shortly after I graduated from college. I had been using a paper planner for a couple years, and it was beginning to become unmanageable. I also am a computer scientist, so this was the last step I needed to become a true geek.

2000 Accord EX Coupe 5 speed

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 09:14:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - I bought my first Honda -- a 1993 Accord LX Sedan 5 speed -- while I was in college. At the time, I was looking for something reliable with good mileage. Other things important to me were decent pickup (which this car had), and enough room since I'm a...

Chock-full of features

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 15:41:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bstauffer - This review is for the B27A44Z, which is very close to the A34Z, but isn't listed here. We picked up this TV to replace our old 19" that was about 15 years old.

The thing that attracted me to this was the price. There's a grocery...
