Average Unit - Many Short Comings - Why Pay $600

Tue, 5 Sep 2006 01:08:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - The unit works out of the box and is easy to use as stated, however there are many shortcomings one needs to be aware of. Rather than re-hash everything that is on the website and easily obtainable, I will focus on an honest and candid review after...

Save Your Money

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 00:18:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - Well I got this phone because my Kyocera 6035 went for a swim in the John. Anyway, to make a long story short, luckily I took out the insurance. Unfortunately, the insurance company could only give me the Sch I600 as they had no more Kyoceras (which by...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - So far I have used DSL by Covad, RoadRunner by Time Warner and now I have Optimum Online. All I can say is incredible.

Last car seat you will need

Tue, 19 Mar 2002 00:18:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - To update this review, we have had the car seat going on four to five years. We now have two. My sons are nearly 8 and 6 and they are still using them. We could probably take the 8 year old out of this seat but I like the feeling of safety I get from...

Best Coffee Ever

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 02:31:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - To update this review, I noticed the earlier review and wanted to offer that I use only the cheap Folgers coffee. My guests always compliment how the coffee tastes. As a rule of thumb, I use one rounded teaspoon per cup of water and it works incredible...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I recently went absolutely nuts researching to find a good audio receiver. I kept scouring web sites, tested equipment in stores, read audio and home theater magazines and talked with people. I considered spending more money but then thought about my...

Sat, 24 Mar 2001 02:05:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I signed up for this because I wanted to be pro-active and monitor my credit files with each of the three bureaus. So, I ordered the merged three bureau report.

Apex is getting better

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 02:10:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - It seems that Apex has finally come around and added all the newest features to their DVD player. I bought the 703 series a month and a half ago and was reasonably happy with it. However, once I heard the 800 was out, I returned the 703 to get the 800...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I am on my second son in two years. With my first son, when we returned from the hospital we had no idea what kind of diapers to buy. Not knowing any better, while my wife was recovering (family tradition says she can't do anything for a full month...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - Some of the reviews posted below are in the wrong place. This product includes not only the plaque remover but also the oral irrigator. This is the second generation of an incredible product.

Not Much Difference From 97

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 21:29:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I upgraded form office 97 to 2000 to stay on the same level as my desktop at work. I use the office professional suite for 8 to 12 hours a day for routine memos, letters, spreadsheets. I also use it to create stand-alone VBA spreadsheet applications...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I got Windows ME for free when I bought my computer. It came pre-loaded with 98SE and they threw in the ME package for free and for me to do the upgrade myself. When I got the computer home, I used it in its factory form with 98 SE and everything...

Good Computer, Lousy Tech Support

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 23:18:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - I actually love this computer. I have had it for a year and the computer is rock solid and stable. A complete difference from my year and a half old Compaq that kept crashing due to conflicts and bugs.

I use it for video editing and have...

Forget the Rebate

Tue, 13 Mar 2001 00:12:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author curtinfamily - Well, frustrating is the operative word. Read the other opinions.
