Mon, 15 Oct 2001 20:24:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Finally, a good quality 17" monitor at a reasonable price. I've been waiting to upgrade our little 14", but not that we have the DVD-Rom, it was impossible not to upgrade. After reading several reviews, I decided on the Samsung, with it's crisp clear...

Casio TA-140: Affordability & Quality Rolled Into One!

Wed, 3 Oct 2001 19:01:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - This is a good quality answering machine/caller ID unit rolled into one. Best of all, you can't beat the price of $42.95 for all the features that come with it.

First of all, I liked the small, clean look of the machine. It was super easy to...

A Quirky, Outrageous, Modern "Pride & Prejudice"

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 02:00:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - This movie was a real surprise, I absolutely loved it. I have not read the book, and after seeing the movie, I'm keen on reading it now.

Rene Zellweger is wonderful as Bridget Jones, a single, slightly overweight 32 year old who desperately...

Super fast office printer

Tue, 10 Apr 2001 17:51:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - After several years of our trusty old HP LaserJet 5P, we decided it was time to buy a faster printer for our office. We're a busy office with 5 people sharing the networked printer, so speed is very important to us. The old HP was very reliable, but...

Excellent Movie, I Finally Have Some Understanding of Splatters

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 02:45:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Ed Harris has really outdone himself in this amazing film on the famous abstract expressionist, Jackson Pollock. Apparently, Harris got the idea to make this movie because he had been told several times that he resembles the famous artist. After having...

I can breathe again!

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 20:58:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Well, with allergy season just around the corner, I decided it was time to look into one of these air purifiers. Not only am I allergic to pollen, but I’m also sensitive to dust and somewhat allergic to our beloved cat. It was more money than I wanted...

Even a rice-dummy like me can use this!

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 20:08:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Wow, my husband and I are completely impressed by this little rice cooker, it makes perfect rice every single time. We love rice, but have always had trouble making it until we bought the NRC. The rice used to be either a sticky watery mess or so...

Great Inexpensive Skin Cleanser!

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 03:27:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Biore Foaming Liquid Cleanser is an excellent product at the right price. Believe me, I've tried some pretty expensive stuff and this is the product for me.

It comes in a clear liquid gel that you rub to lather, then spread on face. Rinse with...

Usually excellent, but the Brethren was a letdown

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 01:48:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I've been a big fan of John Grisham's books since the Firm way back, even before Tom Cruise starred in the movie. His books are usually quite clever and suspenseful, making them hard to put down. He has a knack for taking the most interesting aspects of...

Super Special Color Edition

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 16:37:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Wow, Pac-Man is still one of the best "simple" games ever. I've just purchased the Special Color Edition for Gameboy Color and it sure brings back the 80's and hours of arcade fun.

You have a choice of the full-screen original classic mode or...

Neat Looking Movie, But Waaay Too Much Jim Carrey

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 03:09:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I absolutely loved the book and the tv cartoon Grinch, so I've been looking forward to this movie for quite awhile. Well, I'm sorry to say I was quite disappointed. The movie wasn't terrible, but it certainly did not live up to my expectation.

Great Tasting Water, Reasonable Price!

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 02:43:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I've tried under-sink water filers, bottled water, and Brita. The Brita wins hands down because along with great tasting water, the price is very reasonable. At $29.95, the Ultramax holds 1.25 gallons of water and fits easily into the fridge. Filters are...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5: Print Preview Feature Is Worth The Download Time

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 19:51:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Okay, so IE 5.5 is not exactly the end-all and be-all of web browsers, but the print preview feature makes it worthwhile to upgrade. Being a long time user of Netscape, I've only recently changed to IE because I noticed performance problems with my old...

Comes In Handy, But Use Caution

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 21:06:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - This credit card is temptingly easy to get and while it feels like a good thing at the time of purchase, you can live to regret it.

Last year, I was approved for $3000 to purchase a new computer. It was one of those six months no interest...

Be Careful With Your Credit Card & Their "Free Trial" Offers

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 15:51:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Bally's may offer new equipment and facilities, but they use very underhanded methods for signing up new members. We had a horrible experience with Bally's and I am now wary of all gyms, not just Bally's.

First, my friend and I were invited...

Fabulous Phone!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 20:02:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I don't usually get excited about something as simple as a telephone, but this Samsung SCH-6100 is fabulous! It's actually my brother's phone and after using it for 3 weeks, I'm ready to go out and buy my own. It is very small and light, only 4 inches...

Dream Dishwasher Come True!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 16:28:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I am so impressed with our new Kenmore UltraWash that I just have to tell the world. First, let me explain that we've suffered with an old, decrepit GE dishwasher for years. It has never worked properly, even when it was new, and my biggest complaint is...

It's Cheaper, But Very Faulty and Definitely Not Worth It!

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 03:26:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Over the last 5 years, I've used U-Haul three times. It seems that the more money I pay them, the worse they get. To be honest, I've used U-Haul three times because they were the cheapest. Let's just say you get what you pay for. The first time I rented...

Crisp & Clear Pictures, Small Size, Excellent Camera!

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 14:56:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - What a great little camera, I’m totally amazed by the quality and compact size of this camera. We’ve owned an SLR with fancy lenses for years, but recently, we haven’t been using it very much. It’s heavy and clunky to lug around and when we go hiking in...

Better Than My Old Dollhouse!

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 13:34:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - This fun and addictive game really takes me back to childhood, playing with my dollhouse and imagining all types of people, families, and situations. Well, Sims allows me to do this again as an adult in amazing detail. The Sims allows you to create,...

Dragon Naturally Speaking: Naturally Speaking 5.0 Preferred Edition is much better!

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 20:06:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - You can't exactly throw away your keyboard yet, but voice recognition has come a long way, especially with Dragon Naturally Speaking 5.0, Preferred Edition. I tested an early voice recognition software 2 years ago and found it to be too inaccurate and...

A few new bells & whistles

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 15:40:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - Worth the upgrade if you’re interested in the latest bells and whistles.

I was very interested in the new features that would help me analyze and save money such as the cash flow viewer and the asset allocation tool. The jury is still out on...

Great for Sharing Documents!

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 18:50:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - The PDF format has pretty much become the standard for sharing formatted documents created by various applications. Ever send or receive an attachment that couldn’t be open because the computer opening the file does not have the program? Well, Adobe...

Monster.com: A Million Job Ads!

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 17:21:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - I’ve tried several different job search sites and Monster.com is clearly the most extensive one out there. It’s also probably the most well-known since they do a lot of advertising on the internet, television, and magazines. In this instance, popularity...

Best Vacuum I've Ever Used!

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 19:31:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infocat - After a year of suffering from cat fur everywhere, we finally decided it was time to invest in a new vacuum cleaner, one that works. At first, we wanted one of those "bagless" vacuums, but after being told that the filtration is not as good in...
