rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I recently purchased a set of Altec XT1's to use with my Macbook while traveling. Altec has a newer version, the XT2, but I was able to get a significant discount on the older model which made the decision easy. Anyway, I want to start by saying that I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I purchased this monitor to replace an older model Eizo Flexscan L465. To be honest, I was very reluctant to replace that monitor. After all, text and photos on the L465 appeared to be as good as it gets as far as quality. However, for a long...

Sun, 9 Nov 2003 07:13:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I am a bit embarresed to admit this but I spent months researching to find the perfect small HDTV set. The picture on this model stood out from the start as the clearest, sharpest, and most pristine that I had ever seen. I made countless trips to...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I booked a flight on Singapore airlines from New York to Bangkok after reading all the glowing reviews here on Epinions. The cost was a few hundred more then some other airlines for the same dates of travel, but I reasoned the extra cost would buy me a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I purchased the 9000ES approximately 5 months ago when it first came out. My old unit was the venerable Sony

S7000, which was such a solid product, that it may eventually go down as a classic. The S7000 was not a very pretty piece of equipment,...

Better then expected! Nice plot!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs -

This film was surprising to me on a number of levels. I rarely watch German films but thought I would give this one a try because it stars Franka Potente, who was also featured in Run Lola Run. That film really turned my head to the fresh and...

A pleasant surprise

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I would like to start by mentioning that I do not own a Hyundai Accent. However, I did recently rent one for

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I purchased my first Sonicare quite a long time ago. It

lasted several years, providing faithful service on a day to day basis before finally dying out. As a testament to how much I like this model, I purchased another as a replacement. One of the...

One fatal flaw

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 07:37:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I purchased this camera because it seemed to offer the best value of anything on the market. It was going on Ubid for

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 12:35:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I had read some of the poor reviews for this film prior to watching it so I knew what to expect. This film has a really good (though far from original) plot involving two astronauts whose bodies are taken over while on a space mission. The Aliens...

Fleecing of America - Bose

Mon, 12 Feb 2001 17:50:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hmcs - I have to hand it to the Bose Corporation. Even Bill Clinton would be in awe of this companies ability to deceive the public and charge $499 for a product which should only sell for $79. It really irks me that Bose can get away with this. The fact is,...
