Wed, 21 Dec 2005 17:19:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - I received the Creative Nomad Zen Xtra MP3 player as a gift from a friend who purchased an iPod. It is a couple years old but is in terrific shape. I had been wanting to purchase an MP3 player for a really long time. After using this for a few...

Tue, 11 Nov 2003 12:23:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - After an unfortunate incident involving my 2-year-old son and my Motorola T720, I had to claim a loss on my cell phone through the insurance company. A couple days and a lost claim later, I find out that they can't give me another T720, but they can offer...

2000 Ford Explorer 4WD: Ford Explorer: our family bus

Mon, 3 Jun 2002 17:00:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - We bought our first Explorer, a 1991, we were admittedly naive in the SUV-buying field. It was our first SUV purchase, and we were young enough to go for the best "deal" (read: cheapest) SUV for sale. Unfortunately, the dealership we dealt with was not...

Suspended Octopus in Food Denial Mode

Wed, 29 May 2002 17:12:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - One of the surprising things about toddlers is the strength and speed they suddenly possess when doing something you don't want them to do. A good example is my daughter's lightning-fast movements in the high chair when food approaches her mouth... she...

Wed, 29 May 2002 16:56:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - OK, I switched again. As a previous Motorola wireless phone user (see my review on the StarTac 7868) I have come to depend on the reliability and quality of Motorola wireless. I bought the V120 for my wife, adding a second line to a Verizon wireless...

Some things are better unheard... but better to hear everything

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 16:32:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - Here's a scenario you may be familiar with: You've just gotten the baby to bed, not sleeping but not crying, and you're just settling down yourself. Just drifting off to sleep, you hear a grunt and a blast of flatulence. It wasn't you. It wasn't your...

Keep little monsters in their place!

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 15:49:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - An active ten-month-old like my daughter could, if she were capable of intelligent speech and writing yet, write many epinions about her experiences. She tests things out well, especially the durability factor. She would be a virtual expert on her toys...

More than just a piano... it's a puppy too!

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 15:05:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - Did you ever see the commercial for this thing where this couple is sitting having coffee and the baby is kicking this toy in his crib and a rock-n-roll piano song is playing? Well, the toy doesn't sound anything like it.

Thu, 25 Oct 2001 11:38:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - As a frequent business traveler, I (and every other person who frequents Northwest Airlines from a less-than-huge Midwest city) have been to the Memphis International Airport many times for a connection on a flight to another city. I have always wanted...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - The Sparkling Symphony Piano is a small, lightweight toy that makes music and lights up... just the combination of features that is sure to delight babies of any age. My daughter has had this toy since she was about two months old. She absolutely loves...

How My Digital "Mistress" finally replaced my Paper "Wife"

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 15:04:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - As a several-year veteran of traditional paper planners, I have been very hesitant to get a PDA because I was never sure if I would use it. Sure, it's a great toy at first, I reasoned, but would I really use it in the long run? At my company, legions...

This should come with SuperGlue because it's always with you!

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 17:14:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - The EvenFlo On My Way Position Right Car Seat is an extremely durable carseat. It comes with a "base" that you strap into the car and therefore eliminate the need to secure the actual seat every time you put it in the car.

When installed, the...

Smelly diapers, be gone!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - After my wife and I told our best friends that we were expecting, one of the first products that our friend recommended was the Diaper Genie. "It's a lifesaver", she said.

The design is quite simple. The unit resembles a "tower" which is...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - My wife and I have been subscribers of AT&T Broadband's Digital Cable since spring 1998. I have little to complain about when it comes to the actual service. I like it. One drawback is that you cannot browse or "flip" through channels quickly. There...

StarTac is perfect for me!

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 14:44:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - After a terrible experience with a Samsung SCH-411 phone, I switched to a StarTac because of its popularity and reputation. Guess what... every raving review I heard about this phone is entirely true.

The StarTac is a small phone, very...

Samsucks

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 14:32:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - I now own a Motorola StarTac 7868. I used to own a Samsung 411. Let me tell you why I switched.

I first purchased the Samsung 411 in December 1999. There was a special promotion through my employer with Verizon where we would get a discount...

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 13:36:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - Traveling a lot on business, I have worked up an immunity for inconveniences when away from home while working up an appreciation for those places who treat you like you are at home. Unfortunately, this Quality Inn is not one of the latter types of...

Sticking with Saturns

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 13:15:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - I knew what I was getting into when I traded my '93 SL1 for a 2001 SL2. I feel that Saturns are the one of the best made cars manufuctured today.

Ameritech DSL isn't so bad

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 12:31:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drew99_mi - I have seen reviews from other epinions members stating their bad luck with Ameritech ADSL. I guess my experience started out right because I chose the self-install option and the hardware at my house did not need to be upgraded. If a technician did...
