rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - When my company gave me a free night in town, we decided to take a look at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. I talked with a few different people and it was highly recommended.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - After being out of riding for 10 years, my friend bought an old ATC and coerced me to go out and ride with him. I got the bug again.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - When I first began listening to speakers to replace my old Yamaha mini's for the back 2 channels in my 5.1 setup, I made a list of everything I wanted to hear.

Boston Acoustics, B&W, Mission... I went to a few different shops and listened to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I have these tires on a 1997 Ford Ranger 4x4. My previous tires were Firestone Wilderness A/T. The reason for the change was Firestone's recall.

First the bad - These tires are considerably louder on the highway than the Firestones. You...

Great DVD for the price.

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 11:13:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I finally decided to break down and buy a DVD player this past weekend.

You see, I jumped on the Laser Disc craze in the late 80's and bought a $600 player and started my LD collection buying movies at $50 - $80 a clip. So when laser discs...

A great getaway!

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 12:27:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I usually visit foxwoods about once per month. Sometimes even more.

I am not sure what I like about foxwoods most - it could be the many slot machines (some very loose), it could be the racebook (very impressive), maybe the tables ($5 if you...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I bought the 1996 Neon 4-Door High Line Expresso in January 1996. It was the floor model and I was 22. It was my first brand new car. I was so excited when I picked it up. It was a nice looking car, jet-black with sport seats and a spoiler.

This is it!

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 17:17:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This is a great little practice amp that gets loud enough to jam with the band!

The tone on this little guy is surprising to say the least. When I plugged it in and started playing at the store, I was blown away. For a 15watt amp driving an...

Great first digital camera

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 13:41:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This camera is great for taking general snapshots at events and get togethers.

It has many features and settings (low light, picture quality...) and a swivel lense to take those hard to get shots.

The color LCD is fantastic on the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I will start this review with this dishwashers good points -

This washer is very quiet compared to other dishwashers I have seen and used. It is also very stylish - not one of those big ugly units with knobs and dials.

Now for the...

Good 2nd or beginner's saw.

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 13:16:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This would make an excellent saw for someone just starting out tackling home DIY - or even as a spare saw for a general contractor.

I bought this saw sight unseen off the internet because of its low price.

Cutting through 2x4's...

A good homeowner drill

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 13:02:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This drill has served me well. I am a homeowner that tackles most of the DIY projects.

I have used many cordless drills, from a 6 volt right up to a 24 volt hammer drill and I will say that this one is my favorite for ordinary drilling and...

A decent car for the money

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - My wife bought this car 4 years ago (Jan 97) and we use this car as our "around town" car.

Mita DP-560 Laser Printer: Cheap laser printer

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 12:33:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This is probably the cheapest laser printer out there.

Yes - it is faster than jets... Yes - you do not see the pixels that make up letters.

If that is all you are concerned with - buy it. If not, I would say spend a few extra...

Inspriring. Awesome. Spectacular. Dave.

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 16:40:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I was 16 when this album came out and was your typical metal head. I was into Exodus, Anthrax, Death Angel, Sepultura, Metallica, but my passion was Megadeth.

Something about the band has always intrigued me. They were sort of outcasts...

Good first guitar or backup.

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 16:25:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - Let me preface this opinion by saying I am a bassist and that bought this guitar for laying down rhythm tracks.

This is a nice guitar. I don't think that Ibanez has ever really made a peice of crap, and this holds true here.

Good wet-road tire. Not for snow...

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 16:05:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - These were on my 94 Mustang GT. They did help out quite a bit in wet conditions, but not so great in the snow.

I was expecting a huge difference from my normal street tires (Gaterbacks) and it delivered.

I was all over the road when...

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 12:43:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - I bought this scanner to scan photos that I take so that I have a backup on CD.

This is one of the quickest scanners in its price range ($150-$200) that I tested.

I also like the fact that it is USB, which also helps speed up the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This car was my first car. I bought it used in 1992 for $3500 and fell in love with it.

I remember loading my friends into it and going out for a night on the town. I have so many memories in this car that it may bias my opinion.

Nice everyday family car.

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 11:55:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - First off, let me say this: I have read the other opinions about the weak engine in the SE. This is not a performance sedan, sports car, or even a sporty car.

This car is what it is - a nice car with tons of interior room, a huge trunk and...

Nice first SLR.

Fri, 2 Feb 2001 11:40:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kendslat - This camera is meant to be an introduction to SLR photography.
