NetFlix: A quantum leap forward for the video rental industry!

Sat, 18 Jun 2005 02:52:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - This is a magnificent service! Delivery speed is very quick. No more trips to the video store, no endless searching for titles, no late fees! We devour movies like no other so we're on the 7 at a time plan and we're never without movies to watch...

Mean Machine!

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 20:23:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I can't help but notice that the more negative comments seem to come from people who had a bad experience with the sales technique and this seems to translate to dissatisfaction with the machine itself. I agree with all the negative comments about the...

Magnificent Insulating Layer

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 18:44:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - There's a lot of fleece garments out there but this one's a tad different than most. They use a material they call Polartec Thermal Pro Monkey Phur.. It's a very plush fleece material with a very high weight to loft ratio. It doesn't provide much wind...

Isn't Technology Wonderful!

Sat, 15 Jan 2005 13:03:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - A waterproof softshell? Yep. And so much more. Mountain Hardwear uses a stretchy laminate that is both wind and waterproof, lined on the inside with a very comfy soft material which provides a plush feel and a surprising amount of warmth. All seams...

Versatile and Comfortable

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 20:05:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - When you get into this category of bags (winter use) I've been a long time proponent of down. However last year I had an experience in which my down bag got wet and I was fully two days away from any kind of heater. Sometimes the worst experiences...

A Bit Disappointing

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 18:07:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I want to open by saying I'm a huge Mountain Hardwear fan. I've got more Mountain Hardwear gear than the local dealer and I love all of it. I think my problem with this glove is born of high expectations. Although there is no claim on the packaging...

Cool lid

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 17:40:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I'm a sucker for hats. Always looking for something different and this one is certainly different. I get more comments when I'm wearing this hat than any other. So it's hip and cool and all that but the icing on the cake is it's functional as well...

Love this Hat

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 17:33:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I've been kicking around in the cold and snow for more years that I care to mention. I've had and still have a LOT of hats. Which one do I reach for when I'm headed out for some cold weather action? The Dome Perignon most every time. It's light,...

Dependable for the Long Haul

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 17:20:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I purchased this pack 10 years ago. I do a lot of backwoods trips and even an occasional extreme expedition and above all I needed dependability in a pack. The salesman at a local outdoor shop convinced me to give the Terraplane a try. Much has...

Should'a Done This a Long Time Ago

Thu, 10 Jun 2004 19:36:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - As a major Mac fan going back many years I can't explain why I avoided the iPod for so long. I've tried several brands but finally I saw the light and went out and purchased the iPod. After over 20 years of nothing but positive experience with Apple...

Smooth and Satisfying with No Bitter Aftertaste..

Tue, 9 Mar 2004 03:31:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - Plenty has been said already about the stats and features of this camera so I'll skip straight to the nitty gritty... Most of my images end up online so resolution has never really been a problem and my old Agfa Ephoto 1280 has filled the bill very...

Page Computer: Cheap, quick shipment, no problems.

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 18:54:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - Excellent. I've made two purchases from Page over the past two months, in both cases I did a price comparison search and Page came up with the lowest price. The item was easily located, ordering was super simple, shipment was very quick and I'm a happy...

Very High on the Cool Factor Scale

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 18:45:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I purchased the Archos AV320 about two months ago because of the many tools, one compact machine factor and for the fact that Archos is Macintosh friendly. I finally received the AVCam 300 attachment a couple of weeks ago. My overall impression of...

A Painful Peek at the Truth (for Those Courageous Enough to Open Their Eyes)

Tue, 11 Nov 2003 14:14:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I've not read Ms Coulter's previous books but having lived through the "McCarthy era", witnessing first hand many of the events covered, I was curious. I've been tremendously frustrated by the revisionist tactics used to twist the truth to fit certain po...

Sleep Comfort Indeed

Fri, 7 Nov 2003 18:56:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I can sleep on a pile of rocks and wake refreshed so this purchase was for the benefit of my spouse who's been having back problems lately that she felt were largely due to the waterbed we've been sleeping on for 20+ years. We chose the Select Comfort be...

Powerwagon Indeed!

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 02:44:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - A diehard Chevy fan I honestly don't know why I forked out the big bucks for this truck but I think it was a combination of looks and Cummins reputation for indestructible engines. Now that it's done and I've gotten 60,000 miles under my belt it's safe t...

Adequate, at Least...

Sun, 2 Nov 2003 00:22:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I originally purchased these for studio monitoring purposes for which they turned out to be well suited. Very good sound reproduction and comfortable for long hours of use. Very light and airy feeling with a large cup and very comfortable ear pads. No...

Gasp..

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 18:47:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - Coming, as it does, near the end of one of one of the most musically drab years I can remember, “Thirteenth Step” comes as such a powerful blast of fresh air that I’m afraid my opinion might be somewhat skewed by the sheer novelty of it. I haven’t had s...

Spirited and Interesting yet Vaguely Disappointing

Thu, 28 Aug 2003 16:58:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - Much has been said already so I'll keep this as brief as possible and point out that this is the vie...

Affordable Powerhouse

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 21:29:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - For years I've been playing though Amp/cabinet stacks thinking it was the only way to get the big sound I like. Lately, I've gotten sick of packing all that stuff around and I began looking for something in a smaller package that could still deliver and...

A Dark, Heavy (and Pleasant) Surprise!

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 18:47:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - On first listen, I was just a bit put off by this one. I'm not a big fan of the gutteral scream singing method being employed by Limp Bizkit, Korn et al, but upon further listening I've been hooked. Dysfunction is actually closer to Alice in Chains or...

60,000 and Going Strong

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 03:53:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I've been riding cycles for 30+ years. Everything from various rice grinders to a Triumph Bonneville, and various Harleys. I've put over 60,000 on this particular machine without an ounce of trouble.

The FLSTC is a drivers machine. The...

So so

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 03:13:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I've been with US West for about 4 years now. In general the service is acceptable. I get a fairly fast connection, even though I live on the edge of the civilized world, no other server has been able to hook me up at faster than 28800 (I check out the...

Fine Example of American Lager

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 02:46:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - Commercial American beers often take a beating from beer conniseurs, and rightly so in many cases. But one must remember that America has developed a very limited and specific style (now rapidly expanding again), which is the American lager. Nowhere in...

Best CD for '99!

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 02:23:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ibacon - I'm a long time Soundgarden fan and, as such, was eagerly awaiting this CD. I expected good work but this goes far beyond my expectations. The focus is definitely on the vocals and Cornell delivers in spades. Powerful, emotive, beautifully expressive...
