EN7410: A Good Deal

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 21:12:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - After many years of service, my Gateway VX900 19in CRT bit the dust. I was sad to this this huge monster die, but at the same time, lugging it around when I had to move my computer and having it suck up tons of room on my desk was annoying. Since LCDs...

Great 6 1/2 speaker to pick up used

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 22:35:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - These speakers are pretty awesome. They retailed around $150 new, placing them on the upper mid end of the market. Of course they don't make them anymore (the dx series anyway), but you can find them on eBay for $50 or so used. If you're a real audio...

The Ubiquitous Honda Civic

Fri, 25 Jul 2003 04:00:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - It seems as though everyone has one of these cars. Besides myself, one of my sister's has a '99 EX sedan and the other a '01 EX sedan. Off the top of my head I can think of at least half a dozen friends who have them as well. They have the reputation for...

A Good, Not Great, Econobox

Thu, 5 Jun 2003 15:44:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - In December 2002 my '92 Pontiac Bonneville's transmission died. The Pontiac had 163k on it and had many more minor problems with it, enough that I decided to scrap it and get another car. My mother used to work for a Nissan dealership, and it was there I...

My Bonneville's Repair Manual

Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:39:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - Let me make this short and sweet.

I bought this manual about 6 months ago in preparation for doing work on my 1992 Pontiac Bonneville. Since then, I have fully replaced the front and rear brakes, and worked on the throttle body and front...

That Old Camry

Fri, 5 Apr 2002 12:18:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - My sister owned this car for about a year. We bought it off a friend for $1500. Sadly she spun it into a guardrail and bent the frame totalling it. Exterior The car is a light gray tan. The paint has held up well for the most part. There is no...

Easy Home Networking

Sat, 2 Mar 2002 02:26:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - So, you just got DSL or cable, have a couple PCs in the household and want to share Internet access? This box makes it a cinch.

Originally, before I purchased this router, I had a home network (consisting of a Win2k box, a Win98 box, and a DEC...

Archived Autos & Motorsports Reviews: A Chrysler Laser is NOT a Plymouth Laser.

Mon, 1 Jan 2001 20:42:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - A Chrysler Laser is NOT a Plymouth Laser. In 1984 Chrysler attempted to build a sporty hatchback off their K-Car chassis. Two models, the Dodge Daytona & Chrysler Laser, were made. The Chrysler was supposed to be the "luxury" vehicle while the Dodge...

Not Just For Rednecks

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 17:38:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - Have ever wondered why there is a TV network like TNN? Why anyone would watch campy fake wrestling and the dancing to country music? Well, there's a simple answer. The show that comes on at 5:00 PM. That Certain Orange Charger with the Confederate flag...

Car-like Handling Is Good, Reliability is Not

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 00:19:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - Two years ago my family decided that it was time to get rid of our ailing 1990 Caravan. The odometer read 150K+ and the tranny had been replaced 3 times. We stopped by the Dodge dealership, and my dad decided that a forest green LE was the one for us...

What's The Point?

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 15:46:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - Ahhhh. Windows Millenium Edition. The latest iteration of consumer's Windows. I have just one question:

Why?

Let's review the history of Windows for a moment.

Windows 3.1 - Back in the days of DOS and the Command...

The Best Sub Under $300

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 20:56:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - My car, like most cars out on the road today, had a rather horrible stock sound system. So I decided to upgrade. Now many kids today, when they get subwoofers for their cars, don't care how it sounds, as long as it's loud. They want "thump"...

The Courier Business Modem: The Best 56K Out There

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 01:16:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - This is a review for the USR Courier External 56K. I couldn't find the category for it, so I'll put it in with the regular old USR 56Ks.

The Courier is a beefed-up Sportster modem. It has every feature you could ever ask of a modem. A list of...

Philips 107S: Good Low-End Monitor

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 00:55:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - This is the monitor I use on my home PC, which I built a year ago. When I went out shopping for a monitor, I didn't have a lot of cash to blow. Also I needed something fast. I ended up going to my local BJs Wholesale Club and checking out the monitors...

1993 Honda Civic: The Civic EX: Cheap Sportiness

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 17:23:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - First I'd like to say, no, I don't own this car. A friend of mine does. She had put nearly 93K on the car, when driving on the highway one day, she was rear-ended by a Ford F-150. The truck put a huge dent in the trunk, and bent the frame slightly...

Not Your Average American Sedan

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 00:40:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - I got this car at the age of 17 (with 108k on the odometer) and it lasted me until I was 20 (and 163k). Which is impressive if you think about it.

Exterior

Good-looking Pontiac sporty styling. I always liked the looks best of the...

Good Head Unit

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 22:46:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - I bought this head unit used off eBay. It's a few years old, but back in the day it was top-of-the-line, retailing for around $600. It doesn't have a lot of fancy bells and whistles like some of the newer unit, but what it does it does well. Features...

The Entry-Level Lexus Isn't So Entry-Level At All

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 22:17:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - This year, my parents decided it was time to buy a new car. My mom drives a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan LE, and my dad drove a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville SE. While the Bonneville was a great car (and still is - I drive it now), with 110k on the odometer, and...

My first vehicle

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 01:06:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - I'm sort of embarrassed to say it, but my first vehicle was a Dodge Caravan. Now you're probably wondering why a sixteen year old kid is driving around in a minivan, a soccer-mom-mobile for cryin' out loud. Well you see my grandparents had this 93 Dodge...

High quality speakers!

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 16:31:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author csprague - I own a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville SE. When I first got the car it had the stock Delco 4-speaker system. I had a portable CD player with a car kit. Well it played CDs, it just sounded horrible. No highs or lows to speak of. I spend $220 and bought a...
