Great Machine

Tue, 27 Jul 2004 10:45:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - As a PC user for many years I have been partial to the once superior windows machine. However, with the introduction of the new powerbook line I have been swayed back to Apple. Graphics: The Apple display is one of the best that I've seen. Pictures...

Great piece of electronics

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - This is definitely the best MP3 player I have ever owned. Besides looking like it comes from the future (with the flat-paneled interface on the front), it is probably has the best indexing and user interface I can imagine. Battery: I have brought...

Dish Network DishPVR 501 System: Get it if you want an upgrade from the 301, but don't expect a TIVO

Tue, 6 May 2003 02:26:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - I recently purchased this as a upgrade for my parents' Dish Network 301 receiver. I am an avid user of TIVO and thought that this would be the best way to get them involved using a tivo with satellite tv. The other option would be purchasing a tivo and...

A place where locals bring their grandparents

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - I was lucky enough to travel to Las Vegas for the New Year 2003 and we chose to stay at Sam's Town. The reason I chose this hotel was because of the price, $32 a night. There were only 2 problems.

1) Everyone at Sam's town was 60

Great phone, but kinda pricey!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - I purchased my A500 at Costco with a trade-in of my old phone. In total, this phone only cost me $60 but that is because I traded in my old phone at the time that I bought this one. I would recommend buying your phone at a warehouse such as this just...

Aristos Hotel Cancun: For the extremely budget conscious spring breaker

Wed, 19 Jun 2002 00:40:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - During my first trip to Cancun, I was a victim of the Aristos. Since I knew nothing about the area, we thought it would be a good idea to stay there since it was so close to the tourist area.

We were WAY OFF!!!

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dakinemon - I have owned this safe for probably 9 years. I bought it when I was a child to keep things like valuable baseball cards, a checkbook, and other things that aren't worth all that much, but probably $500 or less. Recently I have back to my house from...
