Economical and reliable printing

Wed, 22 Feb 2006 18:41:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - We purchased this printer at Costco for our home office, and have been very pleased. The one mistake I made was not buying the 1300n, as network printing has proved to be much easier and setup and maintain than a shared printer through one of our...

Cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Wed, 22 Feb 2006 18:27:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - We found ourselves needing a color printer for our small business. Like many others, I poked around the possibilities, with HP at the top of my list based on experiences with their black and white printers. I found this printer for what seemed a very...

Civilized Comfort in the Heart of Africa

Mon, 13 Feb 2006 15:50:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I have been to Kigali three times on business, and each time I have had the pleasure of staying in the Kigali Intercontinental. Those who have traveled in East Africa know that it can be a pretty rough experience, especially if you are traveling on...

One of the Best in a Weak Field

Mon, 6 Feb 2006 20:11:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I recently completed a trip on Kenya Airways from Bangkok, through Nairobi and Kigali, Rwanda, and ending in London. All the flights were in business class, so I can't comment on how economy class is. Compared to the large flag carriers (BA,...

Paradise

Mon, 19 Dec 2005 16:01:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - My wife and I went to Tahiti in October of 2003. Our first week was spent on the Pacific Princess cruising the usual suspects, Bora Bora, Huahine, etc. (reviewed elsewhere). The places that took our breath away, though, were the atolls. Atolls are...

A beautiful country, struggling to improve its lot

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 22:09:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I was in Rwanda in October on business, but I had the opportunity to spend some time sightseeing, including one of the highlights of Africa, the mountain gorillas of the Volcanoes National Park. Rwanda is a beautiful country, the most densely...

Silver Cross Mini - Navy Umbrella Stroller: Nice compromise

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 21:28:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I purchased this stroller for my toddler, after spending some time looking for a balance among ease of use, ruggedness, and handling. The larger/heavier strollers from the usual suspects are quite nice (we used to have a Bugaboo Frog that cornered like...

Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover: Absolutely Amazing!

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 03:44:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - A recent article in Consumer Reports rated this one the best, saying that all you had to do was spray it on, wait, and rinse. Amazingly, the stuff really works. We had lots of mildew along the bottom of our shower curtain, and I gave it a good spray...

Bargain High Performance

Thu, 8 Jul 2004 05:06:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - These tires came with my 2000 BMW 528iT when I purchased it last year (235/45 R17s). So far I have been very impressed with them. Dry grip is excellent, and the tires work well with the sport suspension of the BMW. The car also feels quite confident in...

Simply the Best, and Most Expensive

Thu, 8 Jul 2004 05:00:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - My wife and I ate at the French Laundry after months of attempting to secure a reservation and two more months of waiting for our appointed day. Securing a reservation is not for the faint-hearted, unless you're a VIP, in with the staff, or staying at a...

2003 Dodge Sprinter Wagon: The best full-size van

Tue, 29 Jun 2004 21:24:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I have had my Jasper Blue Dodge Sprinter for a while now and haven't had a single problem with it. It drives almost like a car, with responsive rack and pinion steering and an independent front suspension. It feels quite agile, and makes my old Dodge...

The most amazing steak

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 20:59:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - For some reason I never made it to Peter Luger when I actually lived in New York. Maybe it was my meat-averse girlfriend, maybe it was the tendency we all have to take for granted the things that are nearby and familiar. After moving to the West...

Only Carnivores Need Apply

Tue, 24 Feb 2004 20:35:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I have been to the Morton's in Los Angeles and San Francisco a few times now, and have on every occasion left pleased and satisfied (if considerably poorer). Although it's a chain, the quality in my experience has been consistently high. All of the...

An Excellent way to see the Society Islands

Thu, 30 Oct 2003 23:37:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - My wife and I took a 7 day cruise in French Polynesia aboard the Pacific Princess in October 2003. It should be noted that this Pacific Princess is a new ship to the Princess fleet, as of 2002, replacing the old Pacific Princess also known as the "love b...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I bought my 2000 528i wagon at the BMW dealer auction in LA after carefully considering the competit...

An acceptable office resource, but I'd buy a V40xi or 2210

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 05:22:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I bought this machine for our home business so that we could save a little space and have all the functions we needed. Sad to say, the first attempts at installation were a complete nightmare. The driver caused Windows XP to crash at random points, and...

Excellent Choice for the Enthusiast

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 16:16:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I had previously used Kumho 712s, but somehow got the idea that I could do a bit better, so I did some exploring. I ran across the Pirelli P6000s very reasonably prices ($72 or so each) and decided to give them a try, since many of my friends swear by...

A Walk in the Park

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 16:09:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - Tiantan Park is one of those places worth seeing because of their historical importance, rather than their current attractions. The park is mostly that, a park, with a few buildings and a dias in the middle used by the Emperor each year to pray for a...

Back in the Day

Wed, 1 Jan 2003 15:59:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I have been to the Forbidden City three times, in 1989, 1997 and 2001. Each time I was astounded at the scale and grandeur of the place. It is absolutely huge, to the point that calling it a City is not exactly an exaggeration. Each time, however, I...

A bargain for the enthusiast

Wed, 17 Apr 2002 17:51:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I have had my Kumho 712s for about 18 months now, and have been pleased with my purchase. They replace the original Pilot XGT V4s that came with my Volvo S70 T5, and have been in all respects an improvement. When I purchased them I immediately noticed...

Cheap and quick, but not pleasant

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 22:15:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I flew from San Francisco to Beijing, then on to Shanghai and back to San Francisco in January 2002. After the reviews I saw of Air China I was fearing the worst, but figured it would be about like what I got on Asiana a year ago (you can see my review...

On Safari, choose your means carefully

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 19:47:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - The Masai Mara is one of the most famous wildlife areas in the world, and deservedly so. It is the northern edge of Tanzania's Serengeti, and site of the annual migration of over a million animals in a never-ending quest for food and water. All the...

Mara Safari Club: Relive the adventures of Hemingway, without all the shooting

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 19:12:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - My wife and I spent four days at the Mara Safari Club, and absolutely loved it. I have been to Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa before, but she had never been and entered Africa with a bit of trepidation. A week later, she's a complete convert...

A top-notch airline

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 17:03:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I flew Emirates in economy class from Nairobi to Dubai, and then to Hong Kong via Bankok, in each case on one of their Boeing 777 aircraft. I had heard that Emirates was rated the #1 airline for 2000, and so I expected a lot.

On the whole,...

Get Away from almost all of It

Wed, 31 Oct 2001 17:56:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jedison - I visited the Seychelles for a week in October 2001. I visited as much out of curiosity as anything else, and I love getting off the beaten track and seeing unusual places.

As advertised, the Seychelles is a nice setting, with a small-town...
