Delicious rice, every time.

Wed, 4 Feb 2004 10:53:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I've been trying to eat better lately, and I've found that rice is a very filling and nutritious food for how many calories it has. And it's so versatile! I started with a few pounds of white Basmati rice, which I loved, and would cook in a small sauce...

For me, the perfect digital camera

Sat, 26 Oct 2002 11:41:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I've tried out many different digital cameras over the last three or four years, from Kodak to Olympus to Canon to odd ones like HP. I've tried cameras that cost anything from $150 to $1000. So, when it came time for me to give up my never-used 35mm...

Jaguar on my iBook

Mon, 26 Aug 2002 13:32:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - This review is for OS X 10.2, or "Jaguar". There isn't a product category for it yet.

I have been running Jaguar on my iBook/500Mhz/384Mb/10Gb for a few weeks now, and I have been very pleasantly surprised by the new features in it. Unlike...

You won't wear them.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I needed some kind of eye protection when I was first learning to play racquetball, so I picked these up at K-Mart. Man, that was a mistake. These are terrible goggles: They fog up right away, bad enough that you can't see well enough to play. The...

Not for the halfhearted chef...

Sat, 27 Apr 2002 10:48:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - When we found ourselves making stir-fry almost every night for dinner, we decided the array of frying pans just weren't enough. Since they were so small, we had to use several just to cook all the ingredients. The edges of frying pans are very low,...

Apple Airport (M7600LL/C) Network Adapter: The indispensable laptop addition for college students.

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 18:45:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - These days, many college campuses are putting in wireless internet access. Campus wireless access will soon be as ubiquitous as ethernet access. While I would say Apple's Airport Base Station is really just an expensive luxury item, the Airport card is...

I hate M&T with a passion.

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 18:13:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - Here's my story:

I was with M&T for a little over a year, during which I had direct deposit set up. During a three-month period, M&T LOST MY PAYCHECK TWICE! As in, my employer sent them the direct deposit check, and M&T lost it. Or sent it...

CFCU has some of the best customer service around.

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 17:59:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I switched over to CFCU after a series of awful experiences with M&T Bank and Bank of America. I was amazed at the quality of customer service, and I've never seen anyone offer interest on checking accounts before! It's not a trifling amount, either.....

Great addition to your Mac.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I bought a 5GB iPod back in November of 2001. I wanted something that would hold a lot of music, and have a long enough battery life that I wouldn't have to run to a power outlet as often as I have to with my laptop. The iPod fit the bill.

Shoebuy.com: Fast service, free shipping!

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 15:11:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - I ordered a pair of Birkenstock sandals from Shoebuy last week. The order was processed quickly and shipped quickly. A question about credit cards was answered very quickly over email. Though I'm not sure their prices are the absolute lowest on the...

Eye-Catching Little Wonder

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 15:05:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - When these new iBooks first came out, I knew I had to have one. I'd been interested in the professional Titanium laptop from Apple, but it just seemed to flimsy for my needs. But the iBook is perfect for me, or for almost any other student. It fits...

My new favorite car!

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 14:45:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author happyconsumer - When I was young, I swore the last car I'd ever be seen in was one of those ugly boxy Volvos. A friend of mine in high school had to drive her mom's, and I absolutely hated it. Well, many years later, I actually own one. Such is life. :-)
