rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - I purchased the Sony Vaio SR7K after performing a great deal of research, but still missed some important decision factors that I hope to share here.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - I hope that by writing this opinion I can spare you the terrible experience I have had with Telocity.

1) The painful installation rumors are true. They said it would take about 6 weeks to get my service; it took almost 12.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - I bought the Profile Zoom 4000 IX about a month ago before a trip to Europe. I previously owned a basic Fuji Endeavor APS camera, which I liked except for its very limited zoom ability. I like the Yashica much better for the following reasons:

Franklin REX PRO 5 Personal Organizer: Less is more...

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 15:30:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - I recently purchased the Rex Pro 5, and I think it's a great buy for several reasons:

1) It's tiny. I used to have a Palm, but I found it too bulky. This device weighs almost nothing.

2) It has all the functionality I need. When...

Big ship, intimate atmosphere

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - We sailed to Alaska on this ship in the summer of 1998, and it was a terrific experience for several reasons:

1) Even though this ship is one of the biggest on the Inside Passage route, it doesn't feel like it. Often throughout the day, we...

Try Amboise when in the Loire...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - Amboise is a great little town just outside of Tours in the Loire Valley (about a two and a half to three hour drive southwest of Paris). It has its own chateau in the city center and on certain nights of the week during the summer they put on a grand...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - We just bought this TV about a month ago, but our previous set was also a Toshiba that is about 9 years old (and still going strong; we just wanted a larger screen). Overall, we like the new set because:

1) It has a very good quality picture...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - I travel extensively for work, and I can tell you that I'm travelling a lot lighter than I used to thanks to this small but powerful enough Toshiba. Here are the reasons I like it:

Best Racquet in 20 Years...

Thu, 25 Nov 1999 02:07:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author malench2 - The Ti s6 is a great racquet. I first tested this racquet about a year ago while working in Vancouver. At the time, I recall it being extremely light weight but a bit hard to control, and the price was high. Upon returning to the U.S. this year, I...
