A winner on almost all counts...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - + No contract, no monthly fees. This is a prepaid phone, and so there is no monthly bill and no 1- or 2- year contract that you are locked into. This is great since you know how much you are spending (and no taxes or hidden charges), and it gives you...

Secure for baby; Comfy for parent

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 18:38:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I'm very happy with our Trailblazer backpack. The baby seems very secure in it, and the wearer has a very comfortable fit. Our longest trip so far was a 6-mile, 4-hour hike with our 22-pound baby, and the backpack did great.

Positives:

suction matters; undecided on bagless

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 16:00:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I decided to buy the Hoover Windtunnel after doing some web research and finding it being highly rated by Consumer Reports and other independent reviews. But, there are many "WindTunnel" models. I opted for the bagless version, thinking that this is...

not good so far in the rear-facing position

Sat, 27 Jan 2001 20:07:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - We bought this car seat as our third car seat. The most alluring aspect was that it would fit the baby from 5 lbs. to 80 lbs. The new California law requires kids to be in a car seat or booster up to 80 lbs.

But so far, we're not that happy...

the best modern seafood restaurant around...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - Aqua is about the food, in particular, the seafood. I've

always heard a lot of hype about the setting with the $150,000 annual flower budget, etc. and that's impressive. But the food is fancy and simple and delicious. We had the 5-course tasting...

Quicken Deluxe 2000: Clunky Quicken

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 21:07:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I bought a package that included Quicken 2000 Deluxe with TurboTax US and state for $50. I was/am very happy with the TurboTax. I cannot say that I'm as happy with Quicken.

My main complaint is that it is has a very bad user interface...

Useful for working on the computer...

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 21:53:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - For $20, the snugli has been a worthwhile investment for us. I put the baby in facing me and then my arms are free to do things without fear of having the baby squirm out. I use the Snugli often when I'm working on the computer. I'm able to reach...

frequently used in first 6 weeks

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 21:26:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - Our baby is under 2 months old, and so far the Fold N Go is the most used item. We ordered it because, thinking frugally, we figured we could use the bassinet when the baby is young, and then use the playpen when the baby was a few months old. So far,...

Great actors, so-so directing

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 17:07:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I read Graham Greene's book over 10 years ago, and I was looking forward to the release of this movie with the big name stars: Neil Jordan, Ralph Fiennes, Julianne Moore. The actors did not disappoint.

Fiennes was his usual riveting self...

Evenflo Trendsetter Travel System: trendsetter is to stroller as SUV is to car

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 15:48:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - Being first-time parents, we were a little surprised at all the fancy baby stuff that is out there. But we figured this 4-in-1 concept was worthwhile, and the Trendsetter sure had a lot of features, so we registered for the Evenflo Trendsetter and...

clooney plays the same character in all his roles :(

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 22:20:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - Prior to this movie I had an extremely low opinion of George Clooney's acting. Somehow, this movie got excellent reviews, and I was excited to see it. Unfortunately, I should have trusted my prior beliefs, since this movie was one big bore. Clooney...

I'm a repeat buyer of this shoe

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:03:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - About 3 years ago, I finally found a great running shoe for me the Nike Air Max Triax. I run only 2-3 times a week for a total of about 8-12 miles/week. Even with that level of use, I'd have shoes fall apart on me and have a lot of problems with...

95 Outback

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 20:52:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - The 1995 Legacy Outback was really a Legacy with a different option package. When the dealer told me that the 96 Outback would be different, but $4K more, I opted for the 95 version. The 95 has the regular suspension, riding lower than the subsequent...

Lexmark Color JetPrinter Z51 InkJet: Lexmark Z51 - Great deal

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 20:27:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I came across the Lexmark Z51 color inkjet printer while searching CNET and ComputerShopper to find reviews of inkjet printers. The Z51 was highly rated as a photo printer. At a cost of $150 with a $25 rebate, it is a great deal.

I looked at...

coolpix 700, great deal

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 19:31:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author garyo - I've had the Coolpix 700 for about 3 months now. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Most importantly, it is a great deal to get a 2-million pixel CCD that allows photographs of up to 1600x1200 pixels for the price.

Of course optical zoom would have...
