Backcountry.com: Good store

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:38:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - Nice selection of good brands. Good amount of sale/clearance items. Free shipping with orders of $50 or more. Excellent customer support. I had to call about my order and found them very nice. But they don't get 5 stars because they were out of stock on...

Aloha Shirt Shop: Best Hawaiian Shirt Shop on the Net

Wed, 9 Jul 2008 20:04:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - I have shopped several times at alohashirtshop.com and recommend them highly. Their website is user friendly. They represent top brands. They have a good selection of stuff on sale, and the non-sale items are competitively priced. Just as was stated in...

Makes traditional savings accounts obsolete

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:15:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - I've had an ING Orange online savings accout for two years. (I do not have the new Electric Orange checking account.) I find the website very easy to use, and the few times that I have had to call customer service, I was treated well. Ok, there was one...

The best learning language software

Sat, 3 Mar 2007 23:39:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - I've been learning German for about 6 months and besides Pimsleur I have used Rosetta Stone, Rocket Languages, and have taken private instruction. Obviously, private instruction is best. But this review is about software, and Pimsleur is best. But...

Practically Worthless

Sat, 3 Mar 2007 22:38:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - I can't for the life of me understand why Rosetta Stone has garnered such good reviews (here and elsewhere) and seems to have such an outstanding reputation. I find it practically worthless, and it's expensive to boot. I'm sure that my experience with...

Expected the worst, was pleasantly surprised

Mon, 15 May 2006 14:36:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - Even though I've lived in NYC as an adult for over 20 years, I never got around to visiting AC until recently. It was better than I expected. It's $31 roundtrip on an Academy Bus, and the casinos give you around 20 bucks when you get there. The casinos...

Cheap, clean place to crash

Mon, 15 May 2006 14:25:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - If you're being comped at a major hotel, or feel like treating yourself to one of them, no need to stay here. But if you don't need luxury or lots of amenities, but just need a cheap, clean place to crash, this place suited me just fine. You can walk to...

Get a Glimpse of the High End

Mon, 31 May 2004 16:08:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - For only forty bucks, you can get a glimpse of high end sound. The most common misconception about good sound is the bass. Good bass isn't the bloated, boom-boom-boom you hear coming out of a car stereo. Good bass reproduction is tight & tuneful, and...

A solid buy at $100

Tue, 6 Jan 2004 19:34:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - I purchased this item about a month ago at J&R Music World for a hundred bucks. It is a factory refurbished unit. It looks brand new except for a very minor wear spot on a speaker cabinet that you have to go out of your way to notice. I have never...

Doesn't live up to their reputation

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 17:41:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author darkstar7 - The reviews here are a couple of years old so, as a recent Kaplan LSAT prep course taker, I thought I'd add my $0.02. As I read the negative reviews I found myself nodding my head in agreement.

Kaplan has reduced the class time: the teacher...
