Terrible !

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 16:15:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Our almost 2 year old daughter just got this kitchen from us. I have almost nothing good to say about it, except that she does play with it sometimes.. so it does serve a purpose.

However, this thing has made me angry ever since I had to put...

Want to get going with DVD, try this!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I have just bought this player about 2 weeks ago and explored all it's features, but let me explain first why I bought this:

I like going to the movies, but since the birth of our daughter there is little opportunity to go out for a few hours...

A brand that never disappoints with yet another great drive

Wed, 2 May 2001 00:19:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Plextor is a maker of high quality CD solutions. Their products range from low-end IDE burners to high-end SCSI CD towers. IDE drives were not always in Plextor's domain, but since it's such a lucrative market I suppose they want a slice of that pie too...

Reliable all-arounder, great text printer.

Tue, 27 Mar 2001 23:33:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I bought this printer after my Epson 660C failed due to clogged print heads for which a repair for $100 would've been necessary.

HP's cartridges are very different than Epsons; they have the print head in the cartridge so if it clogs, no big deal,...

Well worth the price... awesome piece of equipment.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - From a technical viewpoint, it is clear. There's a small camera in there that takes pictures and compares them, then sends detected movement signals to the PC. Fine. But how did they pack that kind of technology that is really advanced compared to the...

Cheap & Good.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Dial-up internet access, the big nightmare. After moving to a place that has a terrible technological infrastructure (spells "no broadband connections") we are stuck with modem dialup.

My wife had this ancient 28.8 ISA modem, which just...

Feature-Packed High-Quality TV

Sat, 28 Oct 2000 16:02:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I'm not a big TV fan; I just like renting a movie every now and then. When our 20" mono TV died just recently, I wasn't so sure what I really want. Bigger screen, stereo and better inputs would be good, I thought.

I looked at Panasonics, JVC...

Very, very good sound for peanuts!

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 13:32:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I bought the Sony MDR-V300 because of it's low price ($39) and it's good ratings on epinions and elsewhere. I needed a replacement for my Sennheiser HD450 pair which, after 8 years of great service, is just falling apart. I am trying to review them...

Royal daVinci Organizer: I got it for $30, and that's a good deal.

DSS is worth it !

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 18:22:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I went through about 5 telephones in 3 months, looking for a cordless phone that provides good clarity, range, privacy and features.

I've stopped looking and kept the SS966, because it offers a reasonable mix of the things I wanted and did not find...

Good arcade style game with some annoyances

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 17:10:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Overview:

"Bang! Gunship Elite" is a cheesy title, but it is accurate in that it's mostly a lot of "Bang!" that makes the game. The story is cheap and simple, you are part of an elite force, and basically have to rescue the...

Zoom/FaxModem 56K Dualmode External: Excellent!

Wed, 17 May 2000 22:53:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - This review is about the Zoom 2949L, which is an important fact because there also is a Zoom 2949 without the L, and I believe it's not as good as the 2949L. The main difference is the chipset inside the modem, the L uses a Lucent chipset, the other...

Oh no, how could they ?!

Mon, 15 May 2000 15:01:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I am not going into great lengths about Scientology here, because that has little to do with the movie itself.

I went to watch this movie because I read the book which is really, really excellent. Because the story was so well crafted and put...

Excellent price/feature ratio

Sat, 6 May 2000 23:05:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I bought this phone for $100 at Circuit City, in 04/2000, and I'm glad I did.

I wanted a cordless phone with an answering machine, but I did not want to spend $150+ for it. I first went with 900 MHz analog telephones like the AT&T i also...

Quite good for the price

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 13:38:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I got the 9350 for $70 at a local store. I did not want to shell out $100+ for a digital 900 MHz (which in the end I did), and I thought that the AT&Twould probably have good technology in it. I liked the fact that it has 2 mailboxes, a decent...

All Advantage: Uuuuh doggie !

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Now this is great.

I signed up for alladvantage even before the viewbar software came out. It's now part of my daily web browsing, and i'll explain why:

eBay: Can be great, but often things are overpriced.

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 00:34:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I do like ebay. It is addictive; everybody says it and it is true that you enter something just to see what comes up and what kind of stuff people have to sell.

I make a game out of it and think to myself "wouldn't it be funny if someone sold...

Pegasus Mail: Bells and whistles where you need them

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 14:36:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Pegasus Mail ("PM") is my primary e-mail software. I've used Outlook, Netscape Mail, Eudora, and some others I don't remember, but none had the perfect feature set, and I thought nobody would ever come up with it, until PM came along.

Stay Connected! (PC): If you hate your ISP, switch to another!

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 13:35:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - There are plenty ISPs out there that offer unlimited service, because that's what the users call for. Nobody wants to count the kilobytes downloaded or the minutes online to avoid additional charges.

ISPs only have a limited amount of modems, and...

Excite At Home: @home is a great value for me

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 21:57:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I use the Internet a total of 3 hours a day when I work during the week and 10+ hours a day on weekends/holidays. Before @home, I had to get a second phone line and the dialup account, costing me a whopping $60 total per month for 56k access.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - We borrowed the Exersaucer from friends who advised us to try this.

You can use it for a few minutes of baby entertainment without mommy or daddy, or even better, use it together with little precious and imitate the animal sounds that the buttons...

They got that one right.

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 18:17:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I type a lot, and I am more or less a touch typist (sometimes I peek for the symbols), and I am a keyboard fanatic. The quality of a keyboard is extremely important to me, because it is my most used tool. It has to have the right responsiveness, the keys...

What is your favorite color ?

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 15:51:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - I love Monty Python, and this was the movie that got me addicted. I watched this with a couple of friends because we wanted silly entertainment, and we got so much more.

The plot is fairly simple, it's a search for the holy grail but a few knights...

Resources goodbye, but look Ma: no reboots!

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 15:24:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Seriously,

"Big Windows - This is Big!" could be a slogan derived from K-Mart and used for Windows 2000 Pro (W2K).

I'll make it quick and painful: don't run it with 64MB RAM, don't run it on a CPU slower than 300 MHz, and have a gig...

Slackware Linux: Well balanced for intermediate and expert

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 14:26:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hansmuff - Slackware 7 could be described as plain, sturdy and fast.

The installation is text-based, easy to understand, and quick.I did a full install of almost all packages and ended up with 990 MB of installed software. This is much less than for...
