Versitile scanner

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 19:46:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - I've owned this scanner for over a year now and it has proved to be pratically flawless. I use it for photos, OCR, archeiving, and photocopying.

It isn't the highest density scanner available, but it is very easy to setup and use. My...

reliable

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - This is my 3rd Nokia cell phone. I also have had Ericcson, Motorola, Bosch, Uniden, and Fujitsu cell phones. I would need to see remark improvements in all but the Bosch to consider those phones again.

Battery life is always the big...

Good treatment, good perks

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - USAir has been pushing for a higher spot in the national airline arena and are rewarding its members for their loyalty.

I have been flying US Air for 8 years now. I also frequent UAL. Of the two FF programs, US Air treats me like a human...

Stranded in Tortola

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 21:24:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - We got stranded by LIAT on Tortola and had a great time. We were on our way to St. Marteen when Liat kicked us off the plane telling us we would reboard in 15 minutes, then in the airport, told us that it would be 8 hours!

Well, what do you...

Royal Olympic: Journey into the past

Mon, 27 Dec 1999 00:41:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - Using this cruise, we saw everything from the Pyramids to the Blue Mosque to the Parthenon. We took the Land of Antiquity cruise in Sept 97 and it was one of the most enjoyable vacations ever.

We did a 2 week cruise that began in Athens and...

a true first class

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - I have flown many airlines first class internationally, but British Air has by far the best product available.

Each seat is Very private with dividers. The seats recline into a 6'6" (2 meter) bed. When the seat is in the...

Only by lack of choice am I a 1K

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 23:57:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - I have done a LOT of international travel to both Europe and Asia. United has the best selection of flights while maintaining a single airline to ride upon.

I am a 1K member and haven't been overly wowed by United. Getting upgrades to Asia...

Decent machine, but make your company pay for it

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 01:14:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - My 600E is a fairly powerful machine, but has a few glitches. Mine is one of the earlier versions that was released before the P3, but I've got DVD, a decent amount of RAM, acceptable hard drive space, but bad power management detract from it.

AT&T Mobile Phone Service in New York: AT&T and NYC- bad match

Tue, 14 Dec 1999 00:42:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - I actually live in Philly and commute to NYC. I wish I didn't pick AT&T because the coverage is terrible in NYC. Often, my Nokia 6160 never rang, but I get a voice mail while I am sitting at my desk. The system is so overloaded that it even...

Mon, 13 Dec 1999 15:58:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - I can't see how anyone can take this seriously. You read the thing in half an hour and still wonder what is happening in the world. It makes a mockery of journalism. I have never paid for one of these myself. I wake up in the morning at hotels and...

Why pay for an Audi...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - When for 10 grand less you can get a VW Passat that is almost the same. My wife's car has better pick up than my old BMW 325i and almost comparable handling.

Interior:

Plenty of headroom for the front passengers and a comfortable ride...

ohhhh... How Good!

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 22:25:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - Nothing compares to a BMW! It is as they advertise... The ULTIMATE Driving machine. I had a 325, then they let me drive a 528 for a week during a warranty fix. I was sold!

It has everything you need. It isn't as expensive or costly to...

Go to Franz Josef!

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 21:24:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - The Glaciers! We took a helicopter dire from the town of Franz Josef to the middle of the glacier. We learned how to hike up the side of a cliff, how to navigate a cave/tunnel of ice, and how hot/cold it can be on the side of one of the world's largest...

Go hang with a Kiwi!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jkeating1a - Must sees North Island:

Auckland is a great small city. You need to see the National Museum and the Maori traditional ceremonies.

Also go to Rotorua. If you can, stay at the resort that is adjacent to the warms springs national park. We had a...
