Procida: a quiet retreat from the busy Amalfi coast

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 16:49:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - The Amalfi coast is a gorgeous, if somewhat expensive, part of Italy -- the only real drawback (besides the fact that you have to go through oppressive Napoli to get there) is that it can get a bit crowded. While much of the tourist traffic is from...

I'm glad my other camera got stolen, so I could buy this one

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 18:26:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - I bought the Samsung Evoca 140S as a mid-vacation replacement for another -- the Konica Z-up 120VP -- which is presumably floating somewhere around the Barcelona black market right about now. They're welcome to the Konica -- I like the Evoca mu-u-u-uch...

Two major flaws mar an otherwise good camera

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 15:45:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - Buying this camera is actually how I discovered epinions in the first place -- I knew generally what I wanted, but it'd been a long time since I'd bought a camera, so I was hunting around on the web to see if I could find comparisons between different...

"Restaurant" is the wrong word to use

Mon, 22 May 2000 22:53:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - A certain type of restaurant hardly deserves to be categorized under the same word as the pasta joint down the street. A handful of places in America -- The Inn at Little Washington, Restaurant Daniel, Charlie Trotter's -- have made the transition from...

Hewlett Packard HP DeskJet 950c Ink-jet Printer: Mac users beware!

Fri, 19 May 2000 13:17:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - I've been using an HP ScanJet with my macintosh quite happily for a year or so; but recently made a nasty discovery when I upgraded to a G3. HP is dropping support for all G3 or OS 10 users -- so if you were thinking of picking up an HP product for your...

E*TRADE: Clutter and irrelevancies

Wed, 17 May 2000 02:20:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - Fair warning: since this is basically a direct comparison between E*Trade and Datek Online, I posted it under Datek as well. So if this sounds eerily familiar, you might want to just skip on to the next one.

I've had a Datek account for...

No clutter, no junk.

Wed, 17 May 2000 02:17:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - I've had a Datek account for a few years now -- was initially attracted to it by the fact that it had the lowest per-trade rates. A while back, I got lured into switching to E*Trade (it was those frequent-flyer miles, that's what did it) -- within a...

It dinnae work, cap'n!

Wed, 17 May 2000 01:39:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - Well, maybe it'll make a good paperweight. Sure do wish I'd saved that receipt.

The box says it's a USB, macintosh-compatible drive. Turns out that, as far as I can tell, it's actually some sort of bizarre hybrid of USB and SCSI, which...

Not a bad machine, but it has some quirks

Wed, 17 May 2000 00:55:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author danielbeck - Yes, it's incredibly small, it's extremely light, and it looks downright snazzy -- you'll turn heads at the airport and be the envy of everyone on the plane who has to hunch way over to get the screen open on their bulky, oh-so-five-minutes-ago Vaio when...
