rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - After a significant amount of hassle getting my ZVue in time for the holiday season, it finally arrived. While the initial delay might have been due to the holiday/release rush, the phone support (on two separate calls to their cross-country office) was...

Mon, 22 Dec 2003 12:04:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - In September of 2003, my old DishPlayer 7200 died, and I replaced it with the very impressive DishPVR 721 branded by JVC. I bought the DishPVR 721 at Sears. It seems that this was the only place I could find it. Retailers simply aren't carrying Dish...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - I wasn't looking to buy a new camera, but I was sucked in by the unique storage format of this new Mavica from Sony, and now I actually own one.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - The occasional movie is my escape from daily drudgery, and the scifi flick is my best chance at escaping to another world. Stargate promised that and I was sucked in. Too bad.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - I was wandering around Homeplace with my wife looking for a new set of pans to replace the old ones we had which had been burned, scoured, scraped, and overwise separated from their non-stick surface.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - I'd say, if you get the Hop Devil from a tap, you're in luck. I actually live pretty close to Victory (likely closer than most, I'd be willing to bet), and I have to agree, the beer is pretty darn good. But EVERY time I get bottles to take home, the...

2000 Suzuki Vitara Two Door: Nice toy

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author owenw - I traded in my beat up, over-serviced mini-truck for a mini-SUV. When looking for a car, I had a few criteria. I wanted something more safe than my previous vehicles, so I included airbags in my shoppinf list. Because I tend to drive in the mountains...
