Great computer, but doesn't really live up to the hype

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - I’ve been a PC user for my personal computer for 16 years and I’ve worked with Macs professionally on and off for 9 years. I was never a Windows fanboy or a Mac fanboy, I’ve always just wanted a machine that will do it’s...

Nice product, but I'm sure there is a better one

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Several months ago, a friend came over to our house and commented on our “old school” stereo. It was a 5-CD changer with dual tape deck and a nice set of speakers that served me quite well through many dorm parties (hence the beer stains)...

Protect your Zune from bumps, scratches, and swinging doors!

Thu, 1 Feb 2007 20:52:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - The Zune has a bit of a rougher look to it than other MP3 players to begin with, but it doesn’t do well when smacked into the edge of a door. I had originally gotten an arm band from Speck for when I go to the gym, works fine for that. However it looks...

Get your iPod to your car stereo cheaply

Fri, 5 Jan 2007 14:28:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - My wife and I commute together on a 30-45 minute ride back and forth. CD’s are such a pain, and we can’t mix between our different styles of music. This was the perfect solution. We picked this one because several of her friends also had a radio...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - My wife and I upgraded to LG VX8300’s (review available), which are Bluetooth compatible. My wife had wanted the trendy Bluetooth headsets for a while, so we got one for her. After less than a week, she hated it so much she gave it to me. It’s a nice...

Logitech Wireless Mouse, a sweet luxury

Tue, 26 Dec 2006 15:33:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Style The LX-7 comes in several colors, I personally have grey and my co-worker has a nice shiny blue. It looks quite modern, and after having it for almost a year, it barely even looks worn even though I use it 7 days a week, all day long. The...

LG VX8300 V Cast Music Phone: Excellent Phone, mediocre MP3 player

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 23:43:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - LG VX 8300 My wife and I have been Verizon Wireless customers for years now, and the LG VX8300 was rated the best in the reviews at the time that we got our new phones. We both chose to get the LG VX8300 because there was simply nothing better. Even...

The best portable audio I've ever used (UPDATED!!)

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 22:33:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - My wife has owned an iPod video for about 6 months, but I wanted the Zune and I held out because I was weary from past experiences about the reliability of Apple products. I was also concerned about the multiple class-action lawsuits against them for...

Mini-pocket tool kit

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 21:40:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - I've been carrying a pocket knife from various manufacturers since I was 15. I decided that I was going to give pocket knives as a gift to my groomsmen. I went to the counter at a local sporting goods store and was nearly berated for toting a meager...

Ultra-portable Hard Drive

Wed, 2 Aug 2006 18:09:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - To start off with, I have a different usage for this than most would. I needed to quickly transfer excessively large files and run them. I work on 3-D microscopy with files exceeding 1GB. I needed to be able to move my data quickly from the microsope...

Why don't more people have these?

Thu, 1 Jul 2004 18:53:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - I spent a long amount of time looking for the right MP3 player. I specifically wanted something to accompany me during a work out. I compared this to the dominating iPod, dell's version, nike, and other assorted brands. I didn't go for the iPod simply...

The FM Pen: Cameras in Phones, Why not a radio in a Pen?

Thu, 12 Feb 2004 18:01:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Isn’t Sharper Image amusing? If you’re not familiar with the store, it’s full of all sorts of weird and unique things. They have plenty of high-end stereos that lay flat on a wall. There are also plenty of grooming utensils and of course the robotic...

Thirsty?

Sat, 11 Oct 2003 01:37:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Especially when living in an apartment building, you never know how the pipes are. We picked up this particular Brita because of its size. I had an older one, but it seemed like I had to fill it up after nearly every glass of water. So this one was a...

Nice camera, but be WARNED

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - My fiancée and I are taking dancing lessons so that at our wedding, we don’t look like complete fools on the dance floor. I realized that there was no way that I was going to remember these dances in a year, so I started looking into web cams. I use...

Thumb sized Mini Hard Drive

Fri, 3 Oct 2003 12:27:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Let me first give you an idea for what I need this for. I work in a research lab. I take a lot of pictures under a microscope and scan in a lot of data. I work on several different computers depending on what equipment I need to use. The initial pictu...

Best Skiing.... Anywhere

Thu, 25 Sep 2003 11:25:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - I am going to start off by admitting my bias. In the late 80's, the real estate market in Colorado crashed. Something happened with what you could and could not write off on a condo, and people were abandoning ship. So my father was able to pick up a c...

Cleaning up after me.

Fri, 19 Sep 2003 23:15:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - So, I had absolutely no say in the purchase of this dish washer. It was part of the package in my new apartment. It's a small dishwasher compared to other’s I’ve seen. I’m not going to even try to figure out the cubic feet. But it has to b...

Arguably the best beer on Long Island

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 12:33:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - Once a week I make out an email to a few people for our weekly trip to John Harvard’s. Not being one for dive bars or clubs, John Harvard’s is my favorite place to grab a drink. It is located on Rt. 347, 1 mile east of Nichols Road. It is easy to spot...

It makes great bread, and easily

Tue, 9 Sep 2003 10:24:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - My fiancée loves bread. Of all the foods to love, she loves bread… ok. I saw a deal on Amazon and got this little guy for only 40 bucks. Figured I couldn’t go wrong, and I didn’t. So you can use it right out of the box, assuming that y...

The sound of a ratchet is a beautiful thing.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - The first thing you must love about Craftsman hand tools is the fact that they are guaranteed for life. My father had a folding ruler for about 30 years. The paint wore off; he walked into a Sears and got a replacement with no questions asked and no len...

HoTMaiL: How much better do you get than FREE?

Tue, 12 Aug 2003 18:10:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - IT'S FREE! The best quality of any product. You have to provide your own internet access. Hotmail is NOT AN ISP. It is strictly an email address. So what to you get for your $0? You get your address. You will likely have to add random digits to t...

Thu, 7 Aug 2003 13:14:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dandino - So you understand where this review is coming from. I first had MCI World com, I'm still having nightmares from it.
