Mon, 23 Jul 2001 00:44:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author davequick - This device works, but it's slow, consumes somewhat expensive watch type batteries and the drivers do NOT work with Windows NT 2000 or WindowsXP.

I just want you to realize that just because it looks like a floppy disk - it isn't something...

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 06:36:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davequick - To tell the truth, I didn't go out looking for this phone - it came as part of the 2001 Mercedes C-240 that my wife and I bought.

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 03:46:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davequick - I should start out with a quick explanation of what this machine replaced. It replaces an HP Photosmart inkjet printer, an HP Laserjet IIIp+PS, a scanjet (original, B&W SCSI scanner), and a Canon Bubblejet 540 fax machine. Needless to say it consumes...

The yellow paint cleaning clay from Griot's is:

Good - but crowded and noisy

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 01:32:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davequick - The Metropolitan Grill has the best steak in town.

Their bar is over-busy and impossible to get a seat at during any normal dinner hour while waiting on your table. The actual bar is beautiful, just wish there was more capacity or less...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author davequick - My wife and I have been here maybe three times in the past four years. We have been able to consistently get some good rates through an on-line site.
