2002 MINI Cooper: At just over $10 a pound its a bargain!!!

Wed, 3 Apr 2002 21:25:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - As a fan of the original mini (note the lower case) I've been interested in this car for years. While the original mini hasn't been sold in the US since the 60's it has grown a cult following. This is evidenced by the fact that while only 10,000 were...

StartSampling.Com: Still waiting to start (sampling)

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 23:03:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - I have to say, that when I signed up for startsampling.com, I thought the idea was pretty cool. Target trial size samples to only the people who want them. You get what you want and the companys can do more direct marketing...a win win situation.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - My girlfriend and I recently decided that our bicycles were collecting too much dust. Why? because we didnt feel comfortable bicycling near where we lived. The solution? get a rack and bring the bicycles to a place with less traffic.

Leica O-Series: Wouldn't trade my leica F for anything

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 16:07:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - At risk of sounding old by saying "they just dont make things like they used to..." I have to say, Leica definately did things right with their old rangefinder cameras.

(note: as there is no place for me to put this review of my...

The best cell phone I've owned yet!

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 16:33:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - Let me start by saying this is my 3rd cell phone in 5 years...and it is by far the best. Now, I know what you're saying"of course it is, its the newest one!" but I think it goes beyond that. Let me tell you why.

I've always been...

Great Hardware... Lousy Software

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - First let me start off by saying that overall I think this was the perfect MP3 player for me; but it may not be the right one for you.

I'll start with the Pro's for this unit:

It's SMALL. This thing could fit INSIDE a pack of...

Motorola StarTAC ST7760 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: Small, but not perfect

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 21:42:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - When I originally signed up for cellular service, I received a big honkin' Nokia as a free phone with my GTE account. It was easy to use but HUGE. I wanted a mobile phone...not a portable one. I wanted something that would fit in my pocket without...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - I recently purchased an Aiwa XD-DW1 and while I think it was a very good choice for me, it might not be right for everyone. I thought I might share some of my thoughts on it:

I can now take DVD movies with me anywhere. I thought this...

The best point-and-shoot for the money

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 22:19:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - If you're looking for a point-and-shoot, and photo quality is more important to you than "bells and whistles". This is the camera for you.

If you read my review of the contax T2, you may have noticed that I think it's the best...

Neat toy...but not the highest quality parts

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:43:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - Don't get me wrong. I like my little GR-DV3. I even got it on an online auction for about (60%)of the list price. It takes good video and I'm happy with the quality of every tape I've taken with it. I just think JVC could have gone the extra mile and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - When my junior year of high school drew to a close and the college acceptances started to come in, one letter made my decision very easy. Once I received my acceptance to McGill, none of the others mattered.

I was absolutely thrilled for the...

Canon MultiPASS C530 Inkjet Multifunction Printer: A good multifunction unit...but maybe more than I needed

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 06:05:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - I probably should have done a little more research before I purchased the Canon Multipass C530. It has a great deal of functionality,(Stand alone fax for one)and while I'm sure they would be great for SOHO, I don't find myself using much of this units...

KDS Avitron AV7T: Updated: One of the best monitors for the price

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 17:33:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - When I decided to get a new PC, one of the most important items to me was the monitor. (I equate it to speakers on a stereo system). I wanted a trinitron tube ( I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford a diamondtron tube) and so, the search began.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 - With the gas prices on there rise here in the SF bay area, I decided it was time to get rid of my 19 mile per gallon sports car. It was time to move onto something a *little* more practical. The first thing I decided to do was write down what my...

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 16:32:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nplus1 -

Should you buy a T2? Well...let me tell you why I decided to. I've been taking pictures for about 15 years, but I grew tired of lugging my SLR all over the place. I wanted to take high quality photos; but found myself taking less and less...
