Great Printer - Great Price

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 10:14:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I finally decided to buy a new printer. Since I can print most things at work I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Ok....I'm frugal. I bought the Epson 860 because it only ended up costing me $54. No, this is not a refurbished model. It's brand...

Asus CUBX: Stable motherboard!

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 06:32:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I bought this motherboard for a new Pentium III 800 processor. It works like a champ. It was simple to install and I've never had a problem with it. It has all of the features that I could want including:

* 1 isa slot for old card

* 5...

No problems at all!!!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I bought a flip chip Pentium III 800 about a month ago. I used to have an AMD 400. I've used Intel, AMD and Cyrix chips in the past. I won't get anything but Intel anymore. I had so many little problems with the AMD it was driving me up a wall. The...

This one is So-So

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I've used so many of the free ISP's that it makes my head spin. Juno is good enough to be one that is still loaded on my computer. I've been using it for a few weeks now without problems. It definitely has it's drawbacks but overall is good.

Definitely a great knife

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 14:00:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I bought a set of these knives at Costco Warehouse Store mostly because of the unbelievably low price on what looked like a quality knife. Well....the knives are amazing. I've used many mediocre knives and some very good and expensive knives. I have...

uBid Online Auction: False Advertising and No Cancellation

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:40:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I've been using different online auction sites for about 5 years now. uBid is definitely not my choice of sites anymore! I refuse to use them at all. Although their prices are sometimes good if there is a large quantity of an item, their business...

AT&T WorldNet: Not worth the cost!

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 18:43:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - Ok.....AT&T isn't all bad but there are better alternatives out there.

The tech support has been proven to be nearly useless. The response time when I had a problem was at best average. Gateway was able to a solve the problem in 5...

Time to pay for an ISP again!!

Sat, 18 Dec 1999 11:47:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I did write a favorable review of ifreedom a month or so ago. Unfortunately, there appears to have been some changes since then. It used to be stable and now I get a connection drops about half of the time. Maybe ifreedom is just getting inindated...

Works like a champ

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 16:59:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I purchased an Iomega ZipCD because of the price. I found, at the time, that I could get the ZipCD for about $50 less than the equivilant competitor. I have not used the Iomega ZipCD every day but have made 20 or so CDs. Here are a few of my...

Get the plus or a Chipshot.com club

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 00:04:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I played 18 holes with this club. I thought it was nice but I never could get used to how shallow the club face is. They lowered the center of gravity by making the club shallow. Unfortunately, what it does is just make you hit under the ball if it is...

Better alternatives

Tue, 23 Nov 1999 10:13:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I tried the "free" AltaVista service because my subscription to my ISP was running out. There is no free lunch. I had a few major problems with this service:

1. Busy Signals

2. No POP3 Email

3. No News server

Great ball but expensive!!

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 23:52:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I played 27 holes with the Taylor Made InerGel Pro this weekend. It didn't take long for me to like this ball. I noticed a few differences from my regular ball:

1. Slightly Softer than my Pinnacle

2. More control - I could definitely...

Bigger is really better

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:28:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I purchased the Adams tightlies 5 wood because of the great adds; you can get the ball out of the rough, the pros are using it, etc. I believed all the hype. The standard line is that these clubs get the balls off the fairway and out of the rough...

Fun Flick

Sun, 21 Nov 1999 21:31:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - This is definitely not a movie that will ever win an academy award. Frankly, most academy award winning movies that I've seen have bored me. This one is fun! I saw this movie for a release and it was. There were a bunch of scenes that I even watched...

Shag me baby!

Sun, 21 Nov 1999 21:12:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - You definitely have to like stupid humor to like this movie. I like stupid humor so much I bought the DVD. The plot is ridiculous. The characters are insane. The movie is shagadelic if you want to just get away from real life.

Great TV - Great Price

Sat, 20 Nov 1999 22:48:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - The Toshiba 32 inch CZ32V51 is a mid price range TV. The picture is incredible; it's sharp and the color is bright. I bought the set at Best Buy and got a great price though I would never buy another from them again. The TV has the following...

Great Premise - So So Movie

Wed, 17 Nov 1999 09:01:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I borrowed the DVD from a friend and watched it last night. To start, the DVD format was not nearly as nice as some that I've seen.

The movie is about demons and lawyers (in this movie they are the same thing, not much of a stretch). Parts...

Don't use UPS for fragile items

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 21:01:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - Like most people my experience with UPS comes from items being shipped to me from mail order places. I've learned a few things about them:

1. Don't ever ship anything fragile

2. Don't expect anything to be on time with ground UPS

3. Don't...

Orlimar TriMetal Plus+ Woods: Truly a spectacular club

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 10:01:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - First, I did not purchase this club. Our local shop owner allowed me to take it out and play a round. I liked the original Orlimar Trimetal with one caviot, It was too hard too hit off the tee because the face was so shallow. They fixed this problem...

Works like the Orlimar Trimetal for less $

Tue, 16 Nov 1999 00:10:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I liked the Orlimar Trimetal but couldn't see paying $180 for a single club. The Chipshot.com Blast Triconcept woods look and feel like Orlimar's TriMetals. The shell is 17-4 stainless steel, and the clubface is maraging steel. The Blast Triconcept's...

Not worth it

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 23:39:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I bought a Taylor Made Ti Bubble II expecting great things from it. Unfortunately, this club is just another hanger queen. It sits in my bag doing nothing.

The club pro talked me into a 7.5 driver because of my swing speed. Unfortunately, I...

BORRINGGG

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 18:45:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I saw this movie some time ago. Fortunately, I haven't seen it since. This was one of those movies that I felt my legs go numb. I was squirming all though it. If you like to feel entertained, this is NOT the movie for you.

When I go to...

Not worth the money

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 18:15:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - My brother bought me a box of these balls for helping him around his house. I really appreciate the thought but these balls were a waste of his money.

Why is Titleist the number one ball in golf? It's because some people are willing to pay...

Hilarious if you are 30 something

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 10:21:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - I rented this movie on a whim and since then bought it. I had seen Happy Gilmore but never liked the grown up Drew Barrymore (liked The Firestarter though).

The plot is a little mushy for my taste. I like movies that don't make me think,...

Hilarious, Loose Yourself - Comedy

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 09:54:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author macheske - This movie is definitely one of my favorites. Adam Sandler is hilarious. If you are looking for a serious movie or maybe some golf tips, go somewhere else. Happy Gilmore is about as serious as the three stooges. If you are looking for a movie that...
