Sat, 3 Mar 2001 05:22:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - We received this as a wedding present from my father in-law 3 years ago. On the outside it's aesthetically pleasing, and has the usual clock functions.

Disney's Mickey Mouse Preschool: Great piece of learning software

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 21:15:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - We bought this at Wal-Mart for my son, who is three years old. I wanted to start him early, and especially needed a way to introduce him to the PC since all he knew to do with it was push the big button on the tower while Mommy and Daddy were working on...

Don't buy this scanner

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 20:31:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - This was our very first scanner. We were positively thrilled to have it, at first; and at that time we knew very little about computers.

First off, we paid two hundred and twenty dollars for this piece of junk. It was not worth that amount...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - I had never had the opportunity to be in an Olive Garden until we moved to Colorado Springs in October of last year. We relocated because of the military, and soon my husband got his incentive bonus. As a celebration of our 3000 dollar lump sum-catch up...

Absolutely ridiculous and horribly impossible to play with.

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 07:05:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - Someone bought this toy recently for a friend's daughter. We took it out of the box giggling at the absurdity of the "popping out of the cake" joke, and wondering HOW someone could buy this chauvinistic representation of femininity for a child.

Wonderful designs

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 03:57:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - I would recommend this magazine to experienced knitters with a large budget. Designs are gorgeous and always accompanied by incredible photos, but are made to be knit only in certain brands of yarn which are usually quite expensive.

I am not a...

Good for the price

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 16:18:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - This vacuum was given to me by my father-in-law after my hubby had a run-in with our old Dirt Devil. The very first thing I noticed about it was the ease of use. It moves well and supplies no resistance, so you don't feel like you're pushing around a...

SaveRainforest.net: Wonderful site

Sun, 25 Feb 2001 15:23:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - Th Rainforest Site is a site on which you can simply click a button and donate land for conservation. The way that this works is that advertisers have paid the price of the land in return for links and advertising. In reality what happens when you click...

Bargain functionality

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 17:47:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - First of all, despite the description above, it is not fax capable.

Good little chip

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 16:36:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - My husband and I purchased our first system in 1997. It was an Ultra with a 200 MMX chip and 32MB SDRAM. We paid 2200 for the whole system, which is outrageous now that I know how to build a system, but it was top of the line then. It ran great. Graphics...

Sturdy and convenient

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - This carseat was a gift from my daughter's great grandfather. It took alot of hassle to get though.

Extreme eye-candy

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - Macross is a Japanese animation movie series AKA Anime.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - Update: Spinway no longer provides this service.

Not a great piece of equipment

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 04:12:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - I purchased this particular bouncer because it was the lowest priced one K-mart had, which isn't saying much for a $35 baby apparatus.

First off, I have to give it credit for the durability of the cloth cover and the design of the toys; which is why...

Excellent starting point, and later reference

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 03:44:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evajung - The book is a treasure trove of information to the beginner, although I don't necessarily recommend following it as what it purports to be. The single issue I have with it is the title. It is suggestive of calling itself a work of "absolute...
