rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - Wasn’t very long ago that B&D was a home workshop, power tool maker of some pretty nice and affordable tools – and that was about it. So they branched out into kitchen appliances and they still have some pretty neat stuff.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - A couple weeks ago AOL had a pop-up ad on the opening screen showing the Largan Chameleon digital camera. I was interested because of the extremely small size and the easy payment plan they offered.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - Just when things seem to be coming around and getting easier, somebody changes a gadget, gizmo, technique, - or something...and then everything has to be re-figured out by us regular folks who hate change, anyway. Then, once in awhile, somebody somewhere...

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 14:02:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - These days there are too few things unleashed on the American public that make you feel good. Feeling good about something, in my opinion, is important, so I have to say something when I run across one. The PT Cruiser is just such an animal. The closer I...

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 14:38:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - So, you’ve landed at LAX (Los Angeles International), you got some wheels to get you around and through the maze of freeways, traffic, and smog.

I have to say...

If you've ever wondered what it's really like...

Tue, 18 Jul 2000 20:31:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - This is only my 2nd film review – and I give all the credit to Lambira. She’s written a marvelous review of an ’oldie’ that got me fired up to maybe get some folks to enjoy a really symbolic, entertaining yarn of “race-tracking”. That term is valid today...

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 11:17:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - Being somewhat of a hard-head all my life, and believing that I was worldly, knowledgeable, and quite experienced, I rejected out of hand the concept of “CRUISING” at every opportunity until I reached the ‘age of reason’, decided that all those people...

Efficiency Personified!

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 19:35:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - Okay, so this is a guy thing.

Some guys like electric razors, some don’t. Maybe those that don’t have a ‘macho’ thing about a ‘blade’, a firm gut, and a bath towel...I don’t know...the TV commercials look good. Can’t say that I ever looked that good...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - So, if this turns out to be an ‘advice’ ramble and I catch a lot of flack on this one ... oh well ... but I do feel pretty good about a major move I made in “AUTOLAND” recently and will detail briefly here for you to get any benefit from that you...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - RUM! Okay, so, to many that word triggers spontaneous memories of parties, ‘punch’-style drinks, hangovers, remarks like: “...I got sooo sick on that stuff!”, and usually accompanied by a pained look of distaste. This is all justified by stories of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davea888 - In the beginning there was Palm Springs and only Palm Springs...when the wind blew, you couldn’t find it. It was a desert escape for a fast weekend for the west coast folks who wanted to warm up and dry out. Gene Autry kind of started the place rolling...
