Never ever again!

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:57:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I wanted to go on a cruise to relax and get away from work. I had never been on a cruise before and wasn't sure if I'd like it, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I booked a 4-day Carnival cruise leaving out of Long Beach, CA., and going to...

Why bother?

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I have no doubt that Windows Vista will be the next OS we all will be using... starting some time in 2008. The problem stems from the fact that so many manufacturers are sluggish to release updated drivers for their printers/scanners/sound...

Who's right, who's wrong?

Sun, 13 May 2007 03:56:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - Wow, this unit has about as many 5 star reviews as it does 1 star reviews. After buying a Garmin StreetPilot i2, then upgrading to the Garmin StreetPilot i5 (they were the cheapest name-brand GPS at the time) I couldn't turn down the opportunity to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - The CarMD device plugs into your 1996 and newer cars ODB II connector (all 1998 and newer cars have an OBD II connector). OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics. The unit has three lights: Green, meaning everything is okay. Yellow, meaning there...

You'll wonder how you ever lived without one!

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - Updated and revised 04-01-07 After owning and writing a review on the Garmin StreetPilot i2, I decided to give that model to my dad for Father's Day and upgrade to the Garmin StreetPilot i5. On a side note, my father now talks to his GPS...

Garmin StreetPilot i2 GPS Auto Navigator GPS Receiver: Used to be a great value!

Sat, 8 Apr 2006 02:25:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - If you want a really good GPS for a low price then this is your best choice. It's very small, runs around 4 hours on 2 AA batteries (so you don't have to run the wire from the cigarette lighter to the GPS with the included 12v adapter). It...

WOW! It really works!

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 06:46:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I couldn't find any reviews on this product and I had never heard of this company before, so when I purchased it, I was leary. This unit is similar in size, shape and function as an external USB or Firewire hard drive enclosure, except it connects via...

Never again

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I am writing this as I sit fuming, in my room at the Stratosphere. Why am I fuming? When I stayed here a few weeks ago for a convention, the hotel lost power for 2 hours. I sat in my room, in the dark, with no lights, from about 6pm-8pm until power was...

The best phone you can buy today!

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 13:15:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I absolutely LOVE this phone! I bought 4 of them! Let's go through what they did right! Built-in speaker phone in the handset. No pull-out antenna. Rubberized keys. Steel talk button (most used button of them all!) Volume control (I like my...

Not bad...

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 13:06:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I was happy with my purchase, however, several friends were not. I have rarely ever seen a USB flash drive go bad, but the three I have seen have all been Sandisk Cruzers and they were all less than 3 months old and very well cared for. Sandisk...

Can't beat the price

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 13:00:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - Found this on sale at Fry's Electronics for just $59.99. How could I say no? The drive came with no lanyard or disc and had limited documentation. I didn't expect to get the world for less than $60 for a 1GB flash drive. It's not the best, not the...

What's not to like?

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 12:54:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - 2GB of flash memory, a rubberized case that bounces when you drop it, water-proof and one of the fastest writing and reading flash drives I've ever used. And it cost me the same price as what I paid for a 1GB drive just a few short months ago, $129...

2005 Mini Cooper: My Mini broke my heart!

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 08:41:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - Updated and revised 08-30-07 I saw the Italian Job when it came out and the Mini was okay, but I had no desire to go out and buy one. Then, a few years later, I see one and I think, "Wow, that's a really unique car!" Being an nerdy...

uBid Online Auction: BE VERY CAREFUL SHOPPING HERE!

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 20:39:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - As with any auction site, you should know exactly what you are looking for (model number) and what it generally sells for to know if you are getting a deal. I ordered a refurbed Casio Z40 digital camera from them and it was a very smooth transaction...

RefurbDepot.com: Can't complain!

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 20:33:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I ordered a Panasonic razor from them for $50-$75 off the current retail price. It took about 9 days to get here, and didn't have any packing material, but it works just fine. I am very happy buying from them and I would do so...

So Awesome, I now have a Perma-Grin!

Fri, 2 Jul 2004 03:09:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - My stock stereo in my car died and I decided that rather than pay $250 for a new stock stereo, I'd spend $150 and get a Kenwood deck that played MP3's. Once I did, it seemed my sound quality was ruined. I lost most of my bass. So I swapped out my 6 1/2"...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - I recently purchased a Gigabyte 7n400 Pro2 board with the Gigabyte Radeon 9200 video card. Using an AMD 3200+ 400FSB and pairing it up with two sticks of 512mb DDR PC3200 RAM in Dual Channel mode, and setting up a Seagate 120GB SATA drive, this thing...

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 18:15:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - Before I purchased my new Canon Digital Rebel camera, I came here to find the lowest price and read the reviews of those low-price sellers. I found the camera and lens listed at $910. When I visited the web-site, I verified the price at $910 and the sh...

CuisinArt Resort

Mon, 22 Apr 2002 03:21:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carey934 - We visited Anguilla in April of 2002 and stayed at the CuisinArt Resort. The island is kind of tattered looking, however, they completely re-landscaped the entire property that the CuisinArt is located on and it is amazing.
