Salzburg and surrounding area

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 09:54:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - We arrived via train from Venice, Italy, and took a cab to Old Town and the Hotel Goldener Hirsch. Salzburg manages to feel small in the Old Town and staying at Goldener puts you right in the middle of it all as it is located on the main pedestrian mall,...

Cousteau Resort - uniquely friendly and serene

Wed, 18 Aug 2004 15:24:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - The Cousteau Resort exceeded all of our expectations, on all counts. We booked a two-bedroom (slightly misleading) Ocean front Bure and this translated to Bure 11. Calling this a large one bedroom with adjacent space for additional beds would be more...

Avila Beach Hotel: a splendid place to stay in funky and arid Curacao

Mon, 21 Jun 2004 12:22:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - Editorial note: the picture shown at the top of the page is not the Avila. I don't know what it is, perhaps an artist's rendition? But it is far too tall, has far too few trees and the Avila is not anywhere packed as tightly. This needs to be updated or...

great value and engineering

Wed, 27 Mar 2002 14:01:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - It is important to draw a distinction between the commercial and the industrial versions of this unit. The image associated with this review is the shiny chrome version - the commercial one. It is marked up 2-3 thousand over the industrial version which...

Full tilt feature set

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 12:04:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - Here's what I love about the CyberShot DSC-P1...

* it is easy to use, takes good pictures, offers flexibility due to the still/mpg options, and supports a degree of underwater/damp tolerance. This translates to a fine package, overall, for a...

Good value for smaller yards

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 11:50:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - I used this site, as well as a couple of other sites, to gather some perspective before purchasing an electric mower.

Initially, I was seeking a cordless electric. Oddly, they are virtually disappearing from the marketplace. In retrospect I am...

B&W Nautilus HTM1 Bookshelf Speaker: HTM1 defines the notion of center channel

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 11:44:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - There is no reason to repeat what the previous reviewer has stated in terms of pragmatic detail, so I won't!

The HTM1 establishes a new baseline insofar as defining how important is the use of a properly sized center channel. Far too many...

How to view DVDs....

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 11:46:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - Prior to the 1999 Christmas season I became aware of the potential for viewing DVDs on a screen of the 16:9 aspect. Since all of the main movies were of this aspect, which means the way they were shot, I investigated how a view them at home and not lose...

Progressive Scan well done

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:45:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patrickthickey - I purchased this player after determining the quality of a progressive scan player to be sufficient to warrant the upgrade. There are more than a few such non-interlaced units, but not all of them are a balanced unit.

The analogy I use is that...
