Mamma Mio, This is one tasty meatball!

Tue, 3 Jan 2006 21:42:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I know I should not covet thy neighbors Toshiba, but what if it's my roommate's? Because for the past two weeks I have been doing more than covet his new Christmas Present. The G25-AV513 Toshiba Qosmio (coz-me-O)is one of the hottest notebook computers...

Alienware PC Systems: Bad Outsourced Customer Service

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 14:50:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Placed order in October with a December 1 estimated delivery date. No further communication. Dec 1st I call and they said order had been pushed to Jan 1st. No notification, nothing. After 10+ calls to their customer service with many non-english speaking...

Not a Stop "Sign", Definitely a Yield though....

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Let me say first before I rip this movie to shreds… I liked it, really I did. Look no movie about god and space aliens is going to be perfect, especially when it has to have a Shyamalanesque drawn out suspense and drama.

One good thing I can...

Samsung SPH-N200 Silver: Love this Phone! If only Sprint were designed this well.

Tue, 3 Sep 2002 15:27:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I have owned 9 previous models of cell phone from Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and Audiovox. This was my first Samsung. I was never too hot on Samsungs other consumer electronics products so I was a bit leery when the kid at best buy told me this was the...

Beyond the call of duty!

Mon, 2 Sep 2002 13:26:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I have had this little notebook computer now for about a year and now that it is time to give it up I thought it would be in order to extoll it's virtues!

I got it on e-bay for $300. For only the base unit and a/c adapter. No operating system,...

Compaq ARMADA 3500 CD-ROM EXPANSION (310250001) Docking Station: A must have for your Armada 3500

Mon, 2 Sep 2002 13:00:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - This is a must have add on for your Compaq Armada 3500 computer. The computer itself does not come with any optical drive. This drive is in a removable base which is what is being reviewed here.

The base itself with a 24x cd-rom drive was...

Better than I'd hoped!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 00:24:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Well after reading some of the bad experiences of my fellow epinion writers I went into this trip a bit weary. I had few options. I needed a non-stop round trip flight from Las Vegas to Boston with 5 days notice. America west was the only one offering it...

The low end of Stations

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:42:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Some will undoubtedly disagree with this epinion but I have to call it like I see it. Being a local now I have taken to frequenting the stations properties. All in all they do represent a value and the fact you can use a single slot card at all their...

Hey, it's free.....

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:11:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - So I can't have too many complaints right! Well I have Cingular wireless, formerly Pacific Bell, and my first phone with them was an Ericsson CF-788 phone which lasted me 2 years. By the end it was beat and missing a few pieces but still working. So it...

Good inexpensive webcam

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 22:47:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - A friend of mine on the other coast bought a set of these and sent me one so we could video conference and save on long distance bills.

My friend is not very technical with the computer but managed to install the Ez cam without a problem...

If King Tut ran Circus Circus

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - This is the 2nd review of my 5 hotel spree I went on during my last trip to Sin City. My goal was to find a place to stay for a 10 day group trip later this summer. The other hotels reviewed for this series were MGM Grand, Tropicana, Mirage and Aladdin...

MGM Grand: Grand! and Not so Grand........

Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:25:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - This trip I decided to spend a night at several different hotels so I could see which are best for a group trip later this year. I have visited about 10 other hotels in Las Vegas (see my other e-pinions on those) so this trip I would choose to visit 5...

It's a chain thing

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 01:42:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - There are several Stations properties located throughout Las Vegas and this one rates somewhere in the middle. The room was nice if average but the price was right $39 a night during the week $59 fri/sat.

Their Slot club is straightforward...

Smooth Transition

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I really thought it would take alot of getting used to switching from a standard mouse to the trackball. Two days into it and I am loving the Kensington Orbit. The design is very ergonomic and my wrist no longer hurts!

Setup was a breeze. I...

The holy grail of fat!

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 15:28:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Chili's has long been one of my favorite chain restaurants. And my favorite dish here for over a decade is the Chicken Crispers. These deep fried chicken fingers are unique. They are very moist for one. The batter is light and when dipped in their...

Cheezy's Angels!

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 14:53:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Right in the beginning of the film Lucy Lui's character takes off her motorcycle helmet and flips her hair for a full 30 seconds! I think of her hair as the starting flag waving on the rest of the cheesy goodness of this film.

The camp never...

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:42:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I was one of the lemmings who bought into the $400 rebate deal. In fact I bought into this one and the MSN scam. At least with MSN there was an out. Due to the wording of the MSN contract in California you could cancel without penalty and without having...

VDC-300 a Survivor story

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 17:51:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - November 24, 2003! Ok folks here it is 3 years later and guess what? I still have this camera and I still use it! It's beat to heck and I've had to tape the battery cover many times to keep them in but it still works and it still takes great pictures. I...

HP Pavilion N3110: N3402 Great Price, Awesome Machine!

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 17:33:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - With the speed that companies are pumping out new models it's no wonder epinions can't keep up! So for now I guess I'll stick this opinion under here as the specs are comparible.

The N3402 model has actually just gone obsolete itself. I think...

Linksys USB100TX USB/Ethernet Adapter: Easy and Speedy!

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 15:51:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I bought a new notebook computer and since I only had 2 pcmcia slots which will be filled with other cards I decided to get a USB Ethernet connection.

I bought the Linksys USB100TX because with the $10 rebate it was the least expensive. I love...

Average hotel, Great location

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 14:18:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - I stayed at the Hotel San Remo for a week in August 2000. The location and price are what attracted me to this property. The room I got was in the Gold tower and room was decent but nothing special. Typical Holiday Inn quality but showing their age...

Taurus Back on Track!!

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 05:34:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - In 1998 I looked at a new Taurus and was impressed by the comfort and the handling of the car but I could not get over the looks of the car. I ended up buying a Mustang at that time and was very happy with the car. Ford quality has definitely improved. I...

I am forced to change my Epinion!

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 04:41:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Well I tried. I gave them chance after chance. But now regretfully I have to withdraw my recommendation of Citizens Bank. They used to be so good but their disregard for their customers has increased along with their size and I can no longer tolerate the...

Too strong straight up? Read on!

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 04:21:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author castrostreet - Now I have always loved Chambord in moderation. However I have run into the same problem as many of you in deciding just what mixer or recipe would do this fragrant but tackily packaged liqueur justice.

I have found an equally tacky beverage...
