Palm Trees in Florida?

Sat, 3 Sep 2005 01:08:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - Imagine that, palm trees in Florida. Who would have thought? Since Disney is famous for it's attention to detail and theming, a palm tree setting really wasn't what I initially had in mind for a vacation. Why not stay at French Quarter with it's...

Boy am I down low

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 16:22:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - I recently traded in a full size conversion van for a 2001 Nissan Sentra. When I first got in the Sentra for a test drive I felt very low to the ground. The salesperson said I was used to the big van and that most everything would seem low. However,...

Sir, did you read your agreement?

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - First USA has the distinction of being the only credit card in my 20 years of using cards that has charged me a late fee. I admit that my payment, due to whatever reason, did arrive 1 day late, but it cost me a $29 fee.

My wife and I have...

It works the best, but...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - The first time I used Scotts Turfbuilder I was disappointed in the results. I tried to time the application so the lawn would be at it's peak color for a special occasion at our house. Based on the generic lawn fertilizers I had used in the past I...

Holiday Inn Hotel and Resorts Chain: Children's Paradise

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 15:42:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - Competition is a wonderful thing. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Family Suites in Orlando Florida and the fact that they need to earn your loyalty was evident.

We all know that there are thousands of rooms in the Orlando area. What this...

Pinecone Research: Having trouble signing up?

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 14:41:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - It sounds as if Acorn (Pinecone) research is no longer accepting new survey takers. That's too bad since my experience with them has been very good. I do, however, see how they somewhat need to limit their membership based on the number of studies...

Better measure your garage door

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:58:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - First comment, this van is big. No doubt about it. When we went to look for an Econoline conversion van we were warned that some older style garages aren't big enough for this van. Since our house is only a couple of years old we didn't feel we'd...

HP Pavilion 6646C: Nice bundle but has nagging problems

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 23:54:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - I bought this package at our local Sams Club for around $1100. At first glance this appears to be a great package for the money. The CD-RW is included, it has an AMD K6-2 500 Mhz processor and included in the package is a 17" monitor.

Like new after 9 years

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 23:28:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - I originally had a hard time justifying spending $700 on a lawn mower when the cheap ones are $150. Now, 9 years later, I can see why this mower demands the price.

The mower runs flawlessly and each spring has started immediately. Once I...

This SUV is no toy

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 18:06:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - With so many of the SUVs looking like toys this vehicle is a true performer. Built on the Montero truck chassis, the Montero Sport comes with skid plates, aggressive tires and an automatic transmission mode switch to help handle even difficult...

Shows potential of DVD format

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 17:37:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - If you need something to show off the quality of satellite television or a DVD player this is it! This set shows remarkable clarity and definition.

We purchased ours a couple of months ago and have been very pleased the entire time...

Aging player still shines

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 17:17:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dtauer - To complement a new 60" Mitsubishi TV, this player was purchased about 1 1/2 years ago but is still available. At the time, the list price was $599 but frequently went on sale for $399. High cost by today's standards but reasonable in April '99...
