rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author driead - My first cell phone was an old NEC that my wife and I got back in 1993. At the time it was the best thing out. It had an 8 hours of standby time and 30 minutes of talk time. It could double as a weapon with enough velocity. In 1997 when my wife was...

Good for the money.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author driead - I have had my Midland 75-705 FRS radios for nearly a year. These were my second pair of FRS radios. The first pair I bought for opening day of deer season. I quickly determined that I didn't like them. The next day I traded for the Midlands for a few...

Tough Tires

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 01:40:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Years ago when I was much younger and radial tires were becoming the rage. I worked in a small tire shop. In those days an aggressive open block tire could only be had in a bias ply tire. They were stiff, noisy, and prone to flat spot when cold. A lot...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Please let me qualify my opinion and myself as a Toshiba fan. I currently have the Toshiba 40X81 Theater Wide set, a SD1200 DVD player and a W603 Hi-Fi VCR. I also have years of experience as an Electronics buyer for a national distributor.

Great Picture

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author driead - As an electronics buyer, I have worked with most of the manufactures in the electronics industry. For the most part, there really are no bad companies. Some are more responsive to the customers needs then others but that is to be expected. Toshiba is...

AOpen PA 3000: Great Card

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 23:13:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author driead - I have had my new Aopen PA3000 Plus video card in for two weeks. After a significant amount of research, the NVidia based cards seemed like the answer. I am not a gamer, but I do want fast video performance for my future DVD. I removed a Trident 9850 4mb...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Great Picture

Toshiba has outdone themselves with their new TheaterWide sets. Awesome picture, great features, very good value. As an electronics buyer, I have had the pleasure of dealing with many different vendors over the past 6 years. Some are...

Too Good to be True?

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 21:09:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Is the APEX AD600A too good to be true? I had never heard of the APEX Digital Company until a few days ago. That is saying something since I am an electronics buyer for a major US distributor. I had planned to buy a DVD eventually but a recent purchase...

Too Big

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 02:13:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author driead - I was in the Army, Ft. Hood, Texas, when we phased out the M151A2 MUTT and the GAMAGOAT to be replaced by a single vehicle. The HUMVEE was received with mixed reviews. The CTIS system is very nice for off road, but the run flat wheels are always out of...

Tuff little machine!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Bought My 1988 Suzuki Samurai in the fall of 1990. After nearly 200,000 actual miles, it still is not using oil. I have four wheeled my little Samurai hard for 8 of the 10 years that I have owned it. Because of this, I had to rebuild the transmission at...

I love this car!!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author driead - I bought our 1996 Toyota Corolla in March of 1996. It now has 64,000 miles and feels as tight today as it did when it was new. We have had no major problems to date. I really do not expect any, as it is a Toyota. This is our first Toyota and we will most...

Another Update 99 Ram 1500 Problems

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 02:32:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author driead - Before I go any further, let me just say that I researched my options carefully before making my first new truck purchase. I chose the Dodge Quadcab over Toyota's Access cab because of the interior room, and styling. I have a growing family and the...
