Thu, 1 Jun 2000 23:50:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - And there really is no way to be "short and descriptive" about this movie.

320 reviews and counting, the vast majority of which seem to love this movie. Is it because the movie itself was so good, or the demographics of this group...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - If you have kids, you saw the trailer for this one months in advance...the perilous egg journey over hill and dale, though streams, over canyons, across the sea...

That was only the beginning!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - The Veggie Tales series is a GREAT way to entertain your kids, teach them some valuable lessons, and have some fun yourself.

This video in particular speaks about being thankful for what you have...Madame Blueberry is unsatisfied with all that...

Maybe Something Different

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - We spent hours poring over child safety catalogs, looking through stores, and reading articles about how to child proof our fireplace hearth, as well as many other parts of our house.

This type of fireplace guard was one of the things we...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - Having been a Kubrick fan since seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey way back in the early '70's (my parents were cool that way), I knew that I would have to see his last film...and all the controversy surrounding Eyes Wide Shut cemented the decision.

Fun and..."Inexpensive"

Sun, 13 Feb 2000 23:46:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - I've flown on quite a few airlines, and most seem pretty much the same: staid customer service, generic food, antiseptic airplanes. Honestly, until you have a problem such as lost luggage or missed connections, few airlines have done anything to set...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - I have been using the DCR TRV10 for about six months now, and have found it to be superior in features, usability, and flexibility.

#3 is Great for Me!

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 00:32:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - I recently purchased my company's third Econoline van in 5 years. The new 2000 model improves on what has been a reliable workhorse for my firm, as well as providing LOTS of space to advertise...our E-250s are nearly 23 feet long!

Our first...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - One of the tough things about having young children is not being able to listen to good music whenever the feeling moves you. Sure, you can hide out in the family room with your ear pressed against the speaker (not very comfortable), or you could use a...

Hewlett Packard ScanJet 6350C Flatbed Scanner: Quality and Ease

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 03:37:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - HP represents quality...usually. This machine is no exception, but I was basically "forced" to buy it, by virtue of my 6250's inability to work with Win 98 SE. (See my review on the 6250 for all of the gory details)

Installation on...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - The saga begins in August of 98...I might have been one of the first people in the States to own one of these things (always have to have the newest and best!)

The appeal of USB was my biggest reason for buying this scanner (I actually bought...

Great Product But...

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 02:17:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mkaar - I was stunned when Palm Computing chose me to be a beta tester for the yet-to-be released Palm VII back in February of 99...I had forgotten that, when I registered my original Palm Pilot a couple of years ago that I had okayed inclusion in the beta...
