Brown Palace: Not worth the money

Thu, 26 Jul 2001 16:08:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - My wife and I wanted to stay somewhere special for our wedding night, so we decided on the Brown Palace. We had both been there previously to dine in one of the restaurants, but we had never stayed there. Unfortunately, it really wasn't worth the...

Excellent saddle

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 12:18:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I bought a Liberator last year and I love it. With regular seats, I always had a problem with numbness even on short rides. With the Liberator, the problem is gone. I do mostly mountain biking, so it's less of a problem to begin with since you are...

Good low-end digital camera

Fri, 6 Jul 2001 11:40:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have the DC-210 Megapixel and it's a good basic digital camera. It is very easy to use. The controls are very straightforward and easy to access. To take pictures, you just adjust the zoom, point and click. You get a preview of the picture on the...

Great product

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 18:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have the 2000 model (same as the 1000 except a bigger hard drive) and it's fantastic. It records as you're watching, so if you get a phone call you can just pause the show to answer the phone. Then when you come back, you just pick up where you left...

Good for families, experts will be bored

Tue, 8 Feb 2000 01:02:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - Sunlight is a great place for families who are tired of the crowds at the big resorts. The mountain is located about 20 minutes south of Glenwood Springs about 3 hours west of Denver.

Sunlight is a pretty small mountain with only three lifts,...

Best burgers you'll ever have

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 01:14:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - The Weiner Circle is just a little hotdog/hamburger stand on Clark. It's not much on ambiance, there isn't a lot of seating, and there isn't much parking. But you don't got for the atmosphere, you go for the food, and the food is great.

The...

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 02:37:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - This is a great product. It makes doing your taxes so easy, then you can just file on-line. Last year I got my refund direct-deposited in two weeks.

Turbo Tax is very simple to use. It walks you through every step of the process. It...

Very disappointing

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 18:11:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - The Pepsi Center is a great example of what is wrong with all the new arenas and stadiums. They put in all these great amenities but they make the seats very uncomfortable.

First, the good points of the Can, the annoying nickname it has been...

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 17:48:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - Rocky Mountain National Park is located about an hour and a half northwest of Denver. If you want to see what Colorado is all about, this is the place.

RMNP is one of the largest national parks. There are many ways to drive through and take...

The forgotten resort

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 15:46:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - Copper Mountain is right off I-70 between Breckenridge and Vail, and perhaps it is because it is so close to these two megaresorts that it is often overlooked. But if you are spending some time at either Breck or Vail, you should definitely spend a day...

Great place to see a game

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 11:55:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I went to about 10 Rockies games last season, and Coors Field ranks up near the top of the best Major League stadiums.

The ballpark is one of the new retro-style stadiums. The seats all have a good view of the field. Even the Rockpile - the...

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:51:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have had this TV for almost a year and it has been great. The picture is very clear and the corners are extremely sharp. The colors are outstanding.

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 21:32:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - Every VB programmer should have this book. It is a fantastic reference for using API calls.

I actually have no complaints

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 01:10:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I've read a lot of the comments about problems people have had with digital cable. That hasn't been my experience at all.

When I moved, I had an appointment scheduled to get it installed. Unfortunately, US West screwed up and my phone wasn't...

Very disappointing

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 16:28:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have read the Alphabet series since the beginning and I have enjoyed it tremendously. So I had high expectations when O is for Outlaw finally came out, and unfortunately I was very disappointed.

The book centers around Kinsey Milhone's...

A must-have

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 15:36:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I started using Cleansweep when it was still made by Quarterdeck. It was great then and it's great now. Cleansweep will remove any trace of a program.

It works best with programs where it monitored the installation. When you install a...

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 01:27:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I've had the phone for a year and I've never had a problem with it. It's light, easy to use, and can switch over to analog service when it needs to.

The phone is very light and easily fits into a jacket pocket. The display is easy to read...

The 256 Deluxe service rocks

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 01:18:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I got the Megabit 256 Delux service installed in Feb. 99, and with the exception of a couple of minor glitches, it rocks.

US West was having a promotion when I got it installed, so I only had to pay the $110 set up fee. They gave me the modem...

Simply Incredible

Thu, 6 Jan 2000 18:50:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I saw one of the touring companies in Chicago and it was the best show I have ever seen. It's impossible to explain what this show is all about, but I'll try anyway.

The name is pretty self-explanatory. There are three guys covered in...

Airtouch: Reliable Service

Thu, 6 Jan 2000 16:04:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have had service with Airtouch for a year and I have no complaints. It is your standard cel phone service.

Great value for the money

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 16:30:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I have a '96 Protege and I have absolutely no complaints about it. It is a great value for the money.

A great entry- or mid-level bike

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 01:18:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I bought an Aquila in the spring of '99, and after a year of pounding on it I have no complaints. That was my first year of real mountain biking and I was a low intermediate by the end of the summer.

The bike is great for beginners and...

It's really gone downhill

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:10:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - I subscribed to PC Magazine for several years, but I finally let my subscription end this past fall. It's just not that useful anymore.

The basis of the magazine has always been the product reviews. You used to be able to count on it to...

Very good printer for the cost

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 19:37:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dbronstein - The Epson color ink jet printers have always been highly rated and the 740 shows why. The print quality is outstanding for an ink jet, especially for the price. Printing text is almost laser quality, at least to my eye.

The color printing is...
