Does The Job

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 17:34:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - Note: see Feb '08 update to this review, at bottom. I only drink on average one bottle of wine per week, one glass per day over four or five days (I preserve the rest of it using a VacuVin or the Private Preserve system) and also buy relatively...

Why Did They Discontinue These???

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 17:45:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - Even though Videologic no longer manufactures these speakers, they sound so good I feel obliged to write about them. I had never heard of Videologic until a couple of months ago when I was looking up reviews and forum messages for some ideas on...

Sony's Premier Coaster Maker

Thu, 13 Feb 2003 16:30:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - I have this on my pc at work. On the plus side, it is attractively packaged, as are all Sony products, and it is easy to physically install in the case. This product also comes with Nero burning software and this is a snap to install in Windows, also...

Digital Innovations Game Doctor Disc Adapter: A Useful Contraption

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 18:03:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - It looks like a big snail or blow dryer, but it's really a very useful product for repairing scratched cd's. It is also quite easy to use.

One of my biggest irritants is checking out audio/visual material from the public library and...

BMG Music Services Online Store: Not For Everyone, But I Like It

Sat, 23 Feb 2002 02:44:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - I've been a member since 1999. Originally I had the same hesitations about joining as some of the other reviewers: suspicions about poor service and getting stuck with a commitment to buy high-priced items after an initial, too-good-to-be-true offer. I...

They Keep Improving!

Fri, 15 Feb 2002 19:26:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - I wasn't even thinking about purchasing new speakers for my computer but I was intrigued after reading Computer Shopper's glowing review of the Monsoon MM-702 3-piece system (Feb 2002). While I couldn't find any other reviews of this particular model on...

NetFlix: Great For Movie Addicts

Mon, 28 Jan 2002 15:53:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - The prices on dvd players finally hit a low enough point last year (May 2001) for us to splurge and buy one (a Toshiba 2150 which has served us well, incidentally). To me, watching a dvd is much, much better than watching vhs. The picture and sound are...

I Like This Speaker

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 18:27:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - It is so nice having a dvd player. I am so glad the prices have been dropping, and that they finally dropped to the point where we felt we should get one. But that's another story.

Anyway, getting a new dvd player made me think about...

Excellent Receiver

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 18:05:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - I know that this model has been superceded by the TX-DS494 but those of you who might run across this on closeout or at a place like UBID might be interested. I have no experience with the newer model so I really can't compare the two. But I feel the...

What a Difference

Fri, 25 Jan 2002 15:11:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - Finally my "why do we need a subwoofer" wife caved in and we bought a subwoofer! We happened to take a weekend off and go north to Ventura (CA). On the way home we stopped at an outlet mall in Oxnard and I headed for the Harmon Kardon outlet store. Lo...

Good Things Do Indeed Come in Small Packages

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 14:01:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monkuboy - I really didn't intend to buy any digital camera at all. My wife and I take forever to use up a roll of film, so why spend a significant sum of money to get a digital camera when we hardly use the conventional type? Well, after seeing my sister's...
