Amazon.com: Awesome- I will continue to use them!

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 15:06:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I ordered the camera online during the holiday season and got their free shipping deal which said I should get my order in 7-10 business days, and 4 days later it was sitting on my doorstep. Then about a week later the camera started having problems...

We love it!

Wed, 4 Jun 2003 14:59:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - My wife and I got this camera to replace our aging point and shoot 1.3 MP digital camera with no zoom. With a baby on the way, it was the perfect excuse. With much planning and mulling over features, price, and convenience we decided on the HP 850-...

Samsung SPH-A460: Maybe next time. . .

Wed, 28 Aug 2002 12:55:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I have had my Samsung phone for about 3 months now. It has performed well for me, but it is frustrating...let me tell you why.

I switched to sprint service to get that clear as a bell connection, but occasionally the phone will give me some...

Microsoft Windows XP Professional (E85-00086) For PC: I think you can wait for this.

Wed, 26 Dec 2001 14:19:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I am going to start right in on the Cons for this one.

I got XP professional mainly for its networking features. I had my two computer networked fine, but I was having trouble with my Maxtor external 1394 hard drive. After installing XP on...

Everyone needs one. . .don't they?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I started playing the piano a few years back on an old player piano. The piano still lives at my parents house and I was getting a bit rusty on my piano skills (what little I have). So starts my quest for a keyboard. . .

I wanted something...

Better than my Palm. . .

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 18:26:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I was an avid Palm user for the past couple of years, but my yearnings for something more powerful led me to the PocketPC realm.

I had been considering the iPaq, but given its price, the way that compaq has not had a stellar performance...

Wait a little while. . .

Thu, 28 Jun 2001 04:17:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I was really psyched that I was finally getting a DVD player AND an MP3 player all-in-one for under $150. Like most products in an info-mercial though, I was disappointed with its performance.

The good things:

1. It plays DVDs, and has a...

3rd time is a charm!

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 12:17:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I bought this game with some trepidation, as DF 2 was very disappointing. When I got it home I was pleased to see that the game layout was more like the first Delta Force (which I still feel is the best) and the graphic quality had returned as well. I...

Good Place to Visit

Sat, 25 Nov 2000 12:01:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I just recently got back from a Colorado vacation, and I think Boulder was the city that surprised me the most. I went there expecting to see hippies and freaks, and did not know what else to expect. It turns out that normal people live there too. In...

56k = Wylie Coyote

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 13:16:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - This service is the best thing to hit computers since the 2400 baud modem.

I know like 500 people already have their opinions on this, but I feel compelled to add to the list of believers. Coming from a 56k-only area, I was extatic to learn...

Zeus: Master of Olympus for Windows: Wait until its cheaper.

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 13:04:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I got Zeus about a week ago and have played it quite frequently (obviously) over the past week. Although it is fun, it is not something that you need in your collection if you already own Civilization 2 or Sim City 2000. This game is a perfect hybrid...

Glad I saw a matinee.

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 12:38:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I am not saying that this movie was bad, but it just wasn't what I expected. It is similar to the 6th sense in many respects, such as dark lighting, the main character's flat affect, an unresolved central plot, and even an unexpected ending.

TEAC 4x12: Better than the HP I tried. . .

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 18:46:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I bought the USB version of this external CD-RW drive so I could take it on the road with me, and it has lived up to its expectations.

Although a 4-speed recorder is not fast by todays standards, I can still burn a full-length CD in just over...

A nice little upgrade for me

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 11:19:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I had been stuck on an analog service and phone for so long, that this phone came as a welcome relief to the costly, unreliable service I had before.

This phone has everything that I need. It has about 30 or so different rings, a 3-line...

No luck in HP-ville

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 12:51:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I just got a new laptop (650 PIII, 128 MB RAM) and decided I needed some mobile CD-burning capabilities, so I went looking for a USB, external drive that would suit my needs.

I normally don't buy name brands because I am a bargain shopper, and...

I want to suck. . .

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 23:08:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - Ok, I'm sorry for the semi-rude title, but I couldn't resist.

I just got this game a week ago and have been playing it non-stop. Let me hit on the good points first.

1. Graphics are good and VERY configurable. The only thing I...

I'm just a scratch recquetballer, but. . .

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 16:50:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - Honestly, when I went looking for a racquet, price was first in mind, followed by design. It was between a Spalding and the Head one that I finally decided to pick up.

I have been playing with it for about 2-3 months and one thing that I have...

Pain in the (dog) neck

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 12:50:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I got this system (or one similar) about 2 years back, and I was pretty excited about having an invisible fence. But alas, my excitement was premature, and the 'fence' fell way short of my expectations.

First off, no matter what the box or...

Holy iMac Batman...

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:46:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - My old scanner just stopped working one day, so I had to go find a scanner to complete my system. I wanted a USB, 32 bit, 600X600 optical machine that maybe had some one-touch capability too.

I found one that fit the bill, and I got it on...

DV1500: Points to ponder

Thu, 13 Jul 2000 13:01:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I don't own one of these, but I have been looking at several models and here are some things to think about (both for and against).

First of all, the price. Seriously, for $1500 you can get an HP laptop with 64 MB RAM, 475 K6-2 processor and...

Rainforest Cafe: Not worth the trouble

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 13:13:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I just recently ate at the rainforest cafe in Nashville TN. We had been trying to get in for weeks, every since it opened. We finally got a reservation and were seated at 9:30 pm.

1) The greeters/hostesses were horrible. There were a group...

Do this- its worth it.

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 12:54:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I knew very little about networking before I got this setup. I just knew I couldn't pass up this great deal when I saw it.

The bundle comes with everything you need. a 5 port hub, 2-25 ft Cat5 cables, 2 network cards, and token ring...

Better than the first

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 12:28:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I was skeptical that all the delays and hype for this game would prove to be worth all the fuss. But curiosity got the better of me and made me go out and buy it anyway.

The gameplay is almost identical to that of diablo I, with a few minor...

Sager NP8550: It works for me. . .so far.

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 10:08:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - I had been looking for a laptop for about 6 months, comparing features and cost, and finally settled on this machine. It has all the guts and glory of more expensive laptops, but runs a fraction of the price.

I got mine for $2700 and it has...

Avoid the Tour Guides

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 09:34:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ljrunner - Recently i went to Gettysburg to see the sites with a group of military personnel from my job. I personally thought that the battlefields and monuments were very well kept, and the scenery and grounds were unmatched as far as historical battlefields go...
