A good buy

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - When I looked for a laptop to replace my aging Compaq Contura 400, I evaluated several models by taking a visit to a local COMPUSA (no I would not buy from there). I look at several models, and fell in love with the SONY VAIO FX series.

Cold

Wed, 26 Dec 2001 21:47:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - It seems as if every time I went to a Bears game during law school, it was cold, even during summer. During winter, forget just bringing a coat, bring a heater, too. This place is unbelievably cold since it is right next to Lake Michigan.

Yet,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - Although I still love the Dolphins, I have to attend either Baltimore or Washington games, because I now live in the DC area. I have had several visits to FEDEX Field.

The Field is very easy to find given its proximity to the Capital Beltway...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - Having grown up in Miami, my family had Dolphins tickets for more than a decade. We enjoyed our experience at the Orange Bowl, but hated when they moved to what was then Joe Robbie Stadium.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - I have attended several football games, college and pro, at Giants Stadium. I never really liked the place, possibly because every instance I attended it was very cold. Moreover, the rowdy fans make it difficult to enjoy the game with out someone...

Nice place

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - I attended the opening game in this stadium, an exhibition, in order to watch one of my college friends on the Baltimore Ravens, QB Bill Ward. He did not play, but that did not sour me from enjoying that and several other games in this stadium.

Vegas + Rio Hotel

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - I expected Las Vegas to be a town full of casinos on every block. It turned out that the big casinos are narrowly confined to two areas, the Strip and Downtown. However, the best gambling is found outside of town. Here is my advice.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - Dick's novel takes place in 1962, in Alternate America conquered and split up by the forces of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. One of the few drawbacks of the book is that the events leading up to occupation are little, if ever discussed. When they are,...

eMap

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - When I decided to go on a regional trip in my car, I knew one had to bring a map. However, a map is only so good if you know where you are. So I took a look at GPS. I looked at the Magellan and Lowrance units, before settling on eMap. For the price, it...

JVC

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - After deciding to upgrade from my 8 year old GE, I narrowed down my options to JVC, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba. I wanted a Panasonic, since it got very high marks from Consumer Reports, but it just did not have the features I wanted. The JVC 780 did not...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - Unlike many cable systems, my cable system, Comcast, has decided to keep FX. FX is one of my favorite channels. It is one of the few channels that will broadcast sports at a late hour on the East Coast, i.e., West Coast baseball. Also, I enjoy watching...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hoyafb - When I want to put together a basic surround sound system, I did not want unnecessary items, but I also wanted what every one else wanted. Many systems at this price did not come with Dolby Digital or DTS. I evaluated many systems before settling on this...
