For The Money, It Ain't Bad

Mon, 11 Jun 2001 01:11:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - What do you want for the money you spend? You could spend $10,000 and probably get a really nice camera. That's not my usage.

I prefer a camera I can take out on the town with me and if it breaks, drops, gets stolen, etc., I don't really...

Mon, 11 Jun 2001 00:34:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - Sure, if you have schedules out the butt to fill out, and you don't enjoy doing taxes, this might not be your product. But if you have a few moments to work on your finances, then you may have some time to work on your taxes.

Get Your Bills Under Control

Mon, 11 Jun 2001 00:20:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - Every year I buy Microsoft Money and Quicken, and every year I like the bill management features that MSMoney has, and Quicken lacks. See my other review of Quicken for a side-by-side comparison.

I'm a personal finance geek, among other...

Not-So-Great Product, Great Service

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:38:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - This is a nice little compact product, but it sure crashes my Handspring a lot.

This is a review for the modem hardware product that the Omnisky people provide, not for the service they provide. For the service they provide, please see my...

Great Service, Not-So-Great Product

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:33:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - Omnisky has a great service center, and awesome people answering the lines, but their service isn't so good. I honestly don't think it's related to their product as much as the technology itself.

Their hardware product and software isn't too...

Jasc Software Paint Shop Pro 7: Great price, great product!

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 02:22:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - This product is quite easy to use, yet I still have to give it a moderate usability rating. I know how to use this and have used it for years (3.0 I think), but until you get to know the product, you'll not get to know the features.

Ahhh, Fresh Bread!

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 02:13:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - Three weeks ago my old bread maker burnt out. I had another brand. Immediately I was on a hunt for the next bread maker, so of course I came to Epinions! :)

After some research I almost decided on another brand bread maker. But the reviewer...

A great little scanner!!

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 01:49:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - I wanted a scanner, and alas I found it. I bought it about 2 years ago, and after three moves, it's still in very good shape!

Although this scanner could probably not rival others that cost 10-15 times it's cost, it's a great little scanner...

I'm a geek, and well, I like geek stuff! My main reason for buying this laptop was for its features and the ability to swap in and out hardware, and the big...

1996 Ford Explorer 4 Door: This Is The Anti-Lemon

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 17:34:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - This truck has been no problem at all. I don't wanna say something that will make it start to break, but hey, it's not been a problem at all!

I've done the serpentine belt, breaks, thermostat, air filter, spark plugs, tires, and battery...

Motorola Timeport P935: Toys kick butt!

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 12:36:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - Before I begin, I must state that I am a big fat geek. I love toys, and gadgets. Although there are many gadgets out there, I find that I actually most of them, or give them away faster than the 10th toaster wedding gift.

I have had a two...

Verizon Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: About what you'd expect.

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 12:11:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author knitterb - My main choice for choosing Verizon was the fact that they had analog cellular capabilities. When my friends and I are in Tahoe, and they've all lost their cells, I still get one. Okay, it's an analog one, and it eats up my battery, but being in the...
