So why would I want a cheap 1 GB flash drive MP3 player? Precisely because I own a 30 gig video Ipod.

When I left my beloved 1983 Ford Ranger in a parking lot, I forgot to detach the faceplate on my Blaupunkt stereo. And the consequence for that mistake was about $400 worth of damage done by a thief who broke a window and crowbarred the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~280143826564 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:17:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_280143826564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_221348466308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - I never thought of myself as a cruise person. To me, there's little if any adventure in it. But my wife and I have completely different ideas about what a vacation is supposed to be. She's happy with laying on a beach and room service, and I like to see... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221348466308 Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:34:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221348466308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220591591044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - I'm a certifiable music snob who owns hundreds upon hundreds of CDs. But I'm frugal with my cash, so I waited a long time before buying my first MP3 player. I researched and ultimately decided on a 20 GB Zen Touch. Besides cost --- the Zen is a good 75... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~220591591044 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 21:21:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_220591591044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216661986948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - For nearly 20 years, I had a blue battery-operated Sony analog radio alarm clock at the side of my bed.

So that's why a buddy bought me a pair of ear muff headphones as a gift several years ago. I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214586592900 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 14:53:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214586592900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214157135492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - Let if first be said that I am a dedicated customer of XM Radio. I signed up the first year the product became available and I've been gleefully satisfied with the amazing variety the service offers.

So I considered the following options. 1. Ignore the nest and maybe it would go away. The path of least resistance is the easiest. But I have to walk past this nest every... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195862302340 Sun, 11 Sep 2005 12:32:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195862302340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_189107048068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - When my wife and I bought an old house, we remodeled the kitchen. And before I could even envision the new kitchen layout, my wife said "And here is where our new double door stainless steel refrigerator will go." I did not want to buy a new fridge.

If you don't have them now, you'll get them later, no matter how clean your house is. And because I live in a 75-year-old house, bugs have had plenty of time to find their way inside.

I'd rent an economy car --- the cheapest one available --- and take it on a road trip of at least 400 miles. It would be my version of crossing the Great West in a covered wagon. I didn't care what type of car I got.

I'm too young to ask for the keys to a luxury behemoth --- I don't want to waste gas, even if it&#146s on the company dime. And I don't want an econobox that'll... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~156553154180 Thu, 30 Sep 2004 18:06:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_156553154180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_151270952580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jccoun - When it comes to buying used cars, I am ruthless.
