It's Actually Amusing

Tue, 6 Feb 2007 15:46:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I'm not sure how much I can actually write about TMX Elmo. I can't say I wanted it. When I heard that Fisher Price was going to release a a new "Tickle Me Elmo", I thought about all of the people who in 1996 spent as much as $1000 to buy one of those...

This Phone Works Well For Me

Tue, 6 Feb 2007 15:15:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Prior to this phone, my wife and I each had the Sony Ericsson z500a. We got those on a "buy one, get one free" deal, even though at the time I wanted a much more functional Motorola phone. I used the z500a for a year and a half. My wife's phone developed...

Typical Infomercial Product

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 12:28:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - My wife and I used to have a pull out couch bed that was not very comfortable. Late one night, she saw a commercial for the Restform air mattresses and thought they sounded good. The next time the commercial came on, she taped it so I could see it. We...

Combat Notebook

Mon, 7 Nov 2005 23:36:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - A friend and former co-worker of mine owned this notebook. He bought it for himself when he graduated from the University of Phoenix as a reward. While I worked the swing shift with him on our former job, he would bring it in from time to time. During a...

Compaq iPAQ H3765 Pocket PC: Useful and Reliable

Thu, 28 Apr 2005 14:23:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - My entry into the PDA world involved a Cassiopia Pv-400 Plus that my wife gave me when I was debating whether to continue to spend $40 a year on Franklin Planner refills or not. I found the handheld to be very useful but limited. A few months later, the...

1995 Ford Windstar: Torn between reliability and performance

Mon, 16 Feb 2004 16:26:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - As I write this review, my '95 Ford Windstar is at the Ford dealer waiting for a remanufactured engine to show up. This is about a $4500 job. The 3.8 liter V6 engine that Ford used for this model year is known for blowing head gaskets. I've known many...

Reliability Risk

Mon, 16 Feb 2004 15:33:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - My wife and I bought our house, and owned two sub compact cars. It's very hard to own a house without a larger vehicle. It seemed that any trip to the wholesale club almost required one of us to sit on the curb with half the stuff while the other ran the...

Neat Toy SUV

Mon, 16 Feb 2004 14:07:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I've looked at several reviews of the 2001 Kia Sportage, and I find opinions of it all over the place. I think it depends on what you're looking for. My wife and I have ended up with four cars and no car payments. Her parents gave us two. I've got a...

Palm Zire Handheld: Zire can only do a few things, but it does them well.

Thu, 2 Jan 2003 12:30:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Modified 5 Jan 03- I stand by most of what I said originally, but I've since done some more playing with my Zire, and I've broken down a few walls of ignorance since I first wrote this.

Though I have been a computer geek for a long time, I've...

Rush is right!

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 17:01:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - You either love Rush Limbaugh, or you hate him.

For those of us who love him, every month we are able to get his unique insight into current events through his publication, the Limbaugh Letter.

Though I don't currently subscribe,...

This one can't be edited for TV

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 15:01:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I was probably the last person on Earth to watch the movie "Pulp Fiction". I had heard for years how great it was. Everyone I came across told me that I had to watch it.

Around '99, I finally broke down and borrowed the copy that a friend...

We've all been there...

Mon, 21 Jan 2002 17:11:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - When I was 18, and joined the Navy, moving was simple. I'd get a set of orders, everything I owned fit in my car, and I was on the road.

Nine years later, shortly after getting married, my wife and I decided that we could afford to sell my...

Great magazine for the average guy.

Wed, 14 Nov 2001 12:53:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - When I picked up my first copy of Men's Health (Feb 1999), I was a mostly clueless 24 year old with no idea why women wouldn't talk to me. I had seen it on news stands, but I always figured it was for body builders. I found that is not the case.

Great for a corporate move.

Thu, 8 Nov 2001 12:37:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Several years ago, I separated from the Navy and decided to stay in San Diego. I actually planned to spend the rest of my life there. At the time though, the job market was tight for ex- Navy technicians, and I was offered a job in New Jersey that I...

Got the job done

Mon, 5 Nov 2001 14:37:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - In the spring of 2000, I took the home ownership plunge by purchasing a condo. I had lived in a small, one bedroom apartment, so I didn't have that many things. Actually, aside from my waterbed, my computer setup consisted of more furniture than the rest...

2001 Dodge Stratus- A Renter's Impression

Sat, 29 Sep 2001 13:21:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Not too long ago, my wife got word that her grandmother had passed away, and we had to make a trip to Kentucky for the funeral. Since both our cars are over 100,000 miles and the price of two tickets over $1000 , we decided to rent a car and drive down...

Blizzard topped itself. The best is now better.

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 20:04:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - While I have never been much of a gamer, I found in Diablo a way to spend some free time that I really enjoyed. When my wife picked up an interest in it, that made the game even better as we went after the Unholy Butthole in a UPX network multiplayer...

Equate won't fight your battle, but it can help you.

Fri, 25 May 2001 11:27:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I've tried several smoking cessation products over the last few years, and I've only found one that is 100% effective: you. I got myself into smoking, and I have to get myself out of it. No product, drug, hypnosis, or vacation will magically do it for...

Great in foul weather.

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 19:42:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I'll start by saying that the truck I'm rating is my fiancé's truck, and most of my experience with it involved a Christmas road trip through two disaster areas. We are getting rid of it, but that has more to do with the high payment and insurance and...

Restores my faith in the four cylinder

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 11:45:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - When my girlfriend (now fiance) began staying at my place, and later moved in, we ran into problems with my condo association. They don't allow the parking of pickup trucks at any time by residents, and guests can only park them during the day. She has a...

It's like I was there.

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 12:39:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - As a MS Flight Sim addict, I picked up this game hoping to find the one element missing from the other Flight Sims. The ability to shoot down other planes. Since I only have about twelve hours in Pipers and Cessnas, and am not a combat pilot, I have to...

This Game Is How Old? And still just as good?

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 12:08:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Since I am not much of a gamer, and find a lot of games uninteresting, I am very picky about what games I become addicted to. Diablo is one of them. I believe this game came out around 1996 or 97, at a time when a lot of games had a long way to go with...

Avoid this one.

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 18:50:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - At the time, I was forced by my lack of patience and a lack of availability into buying this modem. I had just compulsively upgraded to an AMD 800 MHz chip, and the motherboard with the chipset I wanted did not have any ISA slots at all. When my 56k...

Glad to have it "on board".

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 01:39:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - I intend this review mostly for those who buy their parts and build their own computers, as this upgrade was a long and painful learning experience for me. If you don't have much PC hardware knowledge, I would recommend buying it pre built.

You might want to look at other ISPs

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 23:04:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author emuelle1 - Hi. I've been reading some other opinions on Prodigy, and I thought I'd post my two cents. I've read that some other epinions users have had good experiences with it. I can't say mine was that great.

After being on a cable modem for two years,...
