The "anti-reflective coating" has peeled off of my polycarbonate lenses after only a year and a half -- usually my glasses last at least two years... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402733371012 Sat, 8 Sep 2007 18:13:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402733371012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_229345365636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - Just replaced a somewhat lower-end Hoover vac that was 7 years old. The old vac slung its belt, I decided it was time for a better vac because it wasn't very effective at getting cat hair out of my carpets. I bought the best vac that my local Wal-Mart... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~229345365636 Tue, 2 May 2006 20:31:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_229345365636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214965849732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - After fighting clogging print heads on my Epson C84 for the past two years, I finally gave up, and bought this HP. Print quality: Fine for text. Okay for graphics. Average for photos. Despite the fact that it calls itself a "photo printer", it isn't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214965849732 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 14:23:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214965849732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214282899076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - Upsides: It's cheap, handles and accelerates like a Ninja sportbike that's spent a few too many weeks at all-you-can-eat pizza buffets (which is basically what it is -- an overweight Ninja), and is lots of fun. Once you get it above 5,000 RPM it howls... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214282899076 Fri, 16 Dec 2005 18:20:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214282899076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183356984964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - I have an odd head. The back of my head is round, but I have a prominent forehead. The traditional "Shoei" round helmet presses on my forehead and makes it hurt. But the traditional elongated "Arai" helmet was either too narrow for my head, or too long... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183356984964 Mon, 16 May 2005 05:33:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183356984964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182331739780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - The KLR650 has been called "the swiss army knife of motorcycles". I.e., it'll do everything, but not very well (I mean, have you ever used the corkscrew on one of those cheesy little swiss army knife thingys, compared to a real corkscrew?). This however... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182331739780 Fri, 6 May 2005 03:27:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182331739780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182329970308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - This was my first motorcycle, many years ago. It was the most pathetic excuse for a motorcycle that I ever owned. The top speed -- an awesome 50mph -- barely qualified it to putt-putt around on surface streets. Off-road, the suspension slammed to its... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182329970308 Fri, 6 May 2005 02:59:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182329970308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181979090564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - Like most Kelty gear, this bag is a compromise between cost and quality. You can get better specs on down bags from high-end outfits like Marmot -- tighter fill, less weight, lower temperature range, etc. But you won't be paying $150 for the privilege --... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181979090564 Tue, 3 May 2005 13:06:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181979090564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163832303236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - I've had hoop-type backpacking tents (e.g. Clip Flashlight), full sized double wall dome tents, etc., but this is now the tent I take out every time I go solo backpacking *OR* car-camping. For one person it is roomy enough for both me and my backpack,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163832303236 Thu, 2 Dec 2004 16:06:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163832303236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163254472324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - You don't pay much for the Symax, and you don't get much. This is a *noisy* helmet. And on the highway, any gusts of wind or turbulence cause the face shield to flex enough to break the seal between the face shield and helmet, causing both additional... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163254472324 Sun, 28 Nov 2004 15:49:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163254472324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_125577105028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - First the good part: You can print high resolution on regular ink jet paper and get very sharp maps and other such graphical documents (very good for printing presentations with, too). The Windows 2000 driver, at least, can take a large page in a PDF... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~125577105028 Sun, 11 Jan 2004 03:36:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_125577105028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_123026837124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - It's small. It's light. It folds to tiny proportions. It weighs only ounces. It boils 1 1/2 cups of water in a little over a minute (I believe I measured 1 minute 10 seconds, vs. 55 seconds for a MSR Whisperlite white gas stove, so it's pretty good for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~123026837124 Thu, 25 Dec 2003 15:15:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_123026837124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_123009863300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - This printer works great under both Linux and Windows. It is as fast as advertised, will swallow a whole ream of paper, is inexpensive, and prints well. It doesn't even take long to warm up, you send your document to the printer, and only a few seconds... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~123009863300 Thu, 25 Dec 2003 04:58:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_123009863300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_123009076868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - I needed an inexpensive second printer that would print color pictures and work with Linux. That restricts me to Epson and HP ink jet printers. I looked at the ink cartridges, and the ink cartridges for the C40UX were cheap and available for less than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~123009076868 Thu, 25 Dec 2003 04:43:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_123009076868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_100720217732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - The S-10 is going away at the end of this year, and some people are eagerly awaiting its more car-like successor vehicle, meaning that there are very good rebate and financing incentives on the S-10 as of the time of this review. I bought my S-10 knowing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~100720217732 Fri, 23 May 2003 13:26:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_100720217732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_90446663300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - I've now had my 2001 Forester S+ with automatic transmission for 40,000 miles. The four-wheel anti-lock disk brakes have saved my bacon several times, the 165 horsepower of the 2.5L boxer engine is more than adequate for merging with freeway traffic, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~90446663300 Wed, 19 Feb 2003 00:42:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_90446663300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_90440830596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - I have the white version of this dishwasher, which I purchased at Lowes. It is the least expensive dishwasher I found that had the high-temp wash and high-temp rinse features. Electrolux (the maker of Frigidaire) discovered a way to cut costs that also... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~90440830596 Tue, 18 Feb 2003 23:40:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_90440830596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_82372628100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author e_l_green - This is a reasonable-quality entry level backpack for long trips (4 days or more) in cool weather. Unlike most packs in this size range, the roomy side pockets are just the right size for a 48cc Nalgene bottle or 2liter Dromedary bag (I use one of each,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~82372628100 Sat, 30 Nov 2002 16:58:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_82372628100?linkin_id=8003929
