Creative Technology Inspire¿ P7800 7.1 Speakers: A LOUD, more than adequate sound system.

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 10:22:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - Sound output is above average for price of system (I got a rebate which made it very attractive). The 7.1 System with a Creative Sound Card made for 7.1 (as I have) is quite the match. BE AWARE THAT THE CREATIVE AUDIGY 2 ZS SOUND CARD WHICH IS MADE FOR A...

"One Magic Christmas" updates "It's a Wonderful Life"

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 10:02:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - This movie will one day be "discovered" and promoted as a classic for Christmas. I spent years trying to find it in video stores but it seems Disney has not re-released it for some unknown reason. I was overjoyed to find it available on Amazon and being...

Solis Crema SL-90 Espresso Machine: Solis SL90 a Good Choice for Espresso Beginners

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 09:35:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - After purchasing a good quality coffee grinder, you'll need a good espresso machine that will teach you - rather than frighten you - when making your first espressos. The SL90 fits the bill and makes excellent Americanos and fairly decent espresso if...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I had stated, in my review of M
agicJack,
that I would review this phone system because it was my first purchase for use with the MagicJack device. I also said I would make it short and sweet, since I don't believe a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - If you've recently needed to purchase a phone, you can get lost in trying to figure out what you really need. I needed to purchase a phone because I just recently purchased a m

magicJack Online Service: High marks for device. Customer Service needs huge improvement

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:33:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - MAGICJACK REVIEW I don't write reviews that get too heavily on the technical side of a product mainly because I'm not all that savvy on tech. Does it work and if it does, is it worth the cost? I stumbled across MagicJack while surfing the net. How...

Cuisinart Supreme Grind DBM-8 Electric Burr Grinder: NOT FOR ESPRESSO BUT WORTH $50

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 21:15:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - DRIP ONLY Don't believe that ANY grinder in this price range will be the ultimate grinder for all your grinding needs. I read with amusement as some reviewers (not necessarily here) slammed this grinder for not grinding well enough to use with...

KitchenAid Pro Line KPCG100 Grinder: FOR UNDER $200 A VERY GOOD BURR GRINDER

Sat, 17 Feb 2007 20:52:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - DECISIONS, DECISIONS After visiting a friend who bought one of these and allowed me to expose its insides and then use it, I broke down and decided to purchase one for myself. I needed a second grinder for flavored espresso and my Kona. My...

IT WORKS... IF YOU WORK AT IT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - UPDATE It was pointed out to me that this may be perceived as reviewing the program and not the book. Understand that the book IS the program. Other than some stories of some past champions in the beginning of the book and some motivational...

Southwest Airlines: BEHIND SOUTHWEST. THOSE YOU TRUST.

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 11:53:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I guess I'm one of the lucky few to have an old childhood friend working as a mechanic for Southwest in Las Vegas. Having grown up in Boulder City, Nevada, I fly to Las Vegas about twice each year on Southwest. In the summer, I will spend a month or more...

Cuisinart DCC-2000 12-Cup Coffee Maker: BEST DRIP COFFEE MAKER I'VE OWNED (ESPECIALLY TASTE)

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 16:01:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I've owned this coffee maker for over 9 months now and it truly makes the best brew I've had from a drip coffee maker. Coffee never tastes burnt - even after reheating twice. I prefer espresso but, due to my work schedule, I can only enjoy that on my...

LOTS OF BELLS AND WHISTLES. BATTERY OPTIONS DISAPPOINTING

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:20:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - THE "DEAL" It may be noticed that the price I paid was far below retail offerings. This due to the fact that I purchased an "Open Box" unit from Circuit City. Everything was still in their original bags, labels/tags were still attached, all...

BFG Technologies GeForce 6800 GS OC, (256 MB) AGP Video Card: DEFINITELY RIGHT FOR MOST GAMERS

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 14:13:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - Unless you are an unemployed 18 y/o, without a girlfriend, this Video Card will be more than adequate for those of us with better things to do, but still want a fantastic gaming experience at a minimal cost. For those of you who may get to know me as...

Newegg.com: NEWEGG... NOBODY COMPARES TO THEM! THEY ROCK!

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:50:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I am fairly new to Newegg, when compared to some who have used them since their inception in 2000 (I think). Though I am 48, I am still learning about computers. I can use them well enough, but am not really comfortable attempting modifications, or...

Avermedia TVBox 9 (mtvboxex9) TV Input: FOR ANALOG USE ONLY

Fri, 9 Feb 2007 21:33:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I was personally disappointed that after investing money in a high resolution Wide Screen LCD monitor w/digital input capabilities that TVBox 9 must be used only in Analog. IF YOU HAVE ONLY DIGITAL INPUT TO YOUR MONITOR THIS ITEM WILL NOT WORK (No...

Creative Technology Sound Blaster® Audigy® 2 ZS Platinum: CONFLICTS/CRASHES A REAL POSSIBILITY

Fri, 9 Feb 2007 20:35:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - I don't think I could possibly expand more on Gr8ful's description or review, except to point out some serious conflict flaws with this card. The card is a gem when it works properly, which is seldom for most on the first attempt. I had only one...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattd241 - The Mini Mazzer has become the favorite and most sought after grinder by home espresso users.
