Philips TiVo PTV 300 Digital Recorder: I liked it so much, I bought the company.

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 01:37:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - The following is a slightly updated review of my PTV100 review. The PT100 is essentially discontinued, having been replaced by the larger PT300 and Sony models. Other than storage capacity, the PT100 and PT300 models are identical.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - First, of all this review is for the Panasonic CT-32SF37, which is this year's model of the 32SF36.

I bought this model because it was a flat-screen 32" television that was within my budget (under $1000). I was curious about the Sony WEGA...

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 01:45:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - The HTB-503 is the successor to the HTB-502 and is an excellent mid-range starter system. I recently needed to replace my home stereo system and began shopping around the web for a starter system for a home theater. Here were my basic requirements:

Installation still a problem, although getting better

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - I had a hard time deciding what rating to give Bell Atlantic DSL. It was much harder to get set up than it should have been, but it was easier than I feared. And now that DSL is working it's great, but not as great as I was hoping. I'll present my DSL...

I agree ... its Tivo-licious

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 00:37:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - It was reading the TiVo reviews on this site that made me realize that I had to have one of these things. So I'll contribute my TiVo experiences back to epinions, including some tips on how and when to buy one.

A 4 inch gadget replaced my entire toolbox

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 01:30:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - I've had my Leatherman Wave for a month now and I'm not sure how I lived without it. Even though it's small enough to fit in my pocket (or clip on my belt) it has almost entirely replaced my toolbox.

Anytime that I need to quickly tighten a...

XDrive: Best of the bunch

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - I spend a lot of time on the road, and as a result I often need to share information between my home computers, my laptop computer, and my client's computers. So when web-based file storage utilities became popular, I was an early-adopter.

E*TRADE: Overloaded with features, but a solid broker

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 20:36:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - Those readers that have read my review of Datek know that Datek is my primary broker and why. But I use E*Trade quite a bit as well, as Datek & E*Trade have very complementary feature sets. Both are excellent choices for on-line brokers and aim at...

Datek: great features, great price

Fri, 22 Oct 1999 01:13:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - I have to admit that I originally signed up for Datek because it was the cheapest of the major online brokers. But I've stayed with it for the past two years because of the functionality it offers. Despite being exposed to several other online...

Explore Sonoma for the road less traveled

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - When exploring the country north of San Francisco, you have two basic choices: follow Route 12 and Route 101 through Sonoma or follow Route 29 through Napa. Although there are many fine wineries on the easterly path along Route 29, I much prefer the less...

Don't use it to run WinNT

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 11:25:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - I've had a OmniBook 4150 with 192 MB of memory for the past eight months and I must say that it's been an endless string of inconveniences. I suspect that the majority of these problems all revolve around my using WindowsNT, rather than Windows 95/98,...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Philadelphia: Clear and affordable - but lots of dropped calls

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - When I switched jobs recently I also switched cell phone usage patterns dramatically. Instead of around around 60 local minutes a month I found myself at around 900 minutes a month with lots of roaming. The kinds of usage patterns that will quickly drain...

OfficeJet does many things - but none of them well

Sun, 3 Oct 1999 16:40:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - The HP OfficeJet is a multifunction device that combines an inkjet printer, a scanner, a copier, and a fax machine. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't perform any of these functions particularly well.

When I received my OfficeJet 630 I was...

Blair Witch Project = Great student film

Sun, 19 Sep 1999 20:38:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author david_ogren - This movie's success has become its greatest obstacle.

Blair Witch Project is something very different than the traditional horror fare. Simply put, it's a well-told ghost story. A story that could be told around a campfire well. Therefore,...
