Cardo is still doing what it has always done best; affordable quality

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:44:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Intro.: I became a semi-enthused fan of Cardo when I had their Scala headset (which I reviewed): That headset seems almost ancient now, but I was impressed with the light weight and sound quality. Fast-forward a few years. I did...

Palm Centro Dominates the Desired Features Scale

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:27:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - I realize there are many reviews on the Palm Centro, so I’m going to try to get into some real specifics; the end result should be that if you read this review and combine it with nad_master’s review...

Pen Drive Ridata Mini Spin 512MB USB2.0 USB Flash Drive (MEY03X0285001): Another small memory machine

Sun, 9 Oct 2005 22:23:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - First, in the title of this product for Epinions, you will see they are calling the drive a pen drive. However, Epinions also gives this MP#:MEY03X0285001. That part number is NOT a pen drive, but just a normal "spin" drive/flash drive. A picture can...

The little cereal that sat in the back of the class with its head drooped.

Mon, 4 Apr 2005 08:05:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - I bought this Atkins Crunchy Almond Crisp Cereal at a price I coudn't refuse. As a general rule, I buy anything that offers additional protein over an otherwise-equal, competitive product, so although I do not believe in any long-term, low-carb. diet, I...

Muscle Milk Chocolate Milk; Rich, powerful, packed, but too sweet

Thu, 31 Mar 2005 03:27:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - I had been reading some promising information on Muscle Milk (from www.freetrainers.com, a site that I frequent and respect) and I thought I would give it a try. I can't really do too much to separate my review from the others on Muscle Milk, but I'll...

Myoplex Lite Peanut Caramel Crisp Tastes like an Ill Reptile

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 00:48:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - With EAS trying to broaden their reigns on the supplement industry, it seems they've let some key concepts pass by the QA people. Namely--it doesn't matter what the nutritional value is of a bar that people cannot eat. No matter how great the bar is...

The best protein bar I've ever tasted (Peanut Butter Choc. Flavor, it is an MRP)

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 21:18:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Taste When I rounded the sales counter at the nutrition store I work at, coming out from behind it, excited, shopping, knowing I would pay about 1/6th of the full price of any of a very large assortment of protein bars, my eyes fell on the...

Not a fireside delight, but better than burnt marshmallows

Mon, 21 Mar 2005 23:15:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Taste The first thing I do when I open a protein bar is sniff it. When I picked this bar up, and saw the "S'mores" reference, I thought about the last time I was visiting one of my sisters and her children. My daughter and I watched...

This is One Way to get protein, but not the best

Sat, 12 Mar 2005 04:01:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Taste Let's get right into the bad stuff; taste. There is nothing to compare this bar to regarding taste; those that have tasted it would recognize it again, I presume. It is alot like a Snicker's Bar (see note at bottom) with the sugar...

Scala 500 headset, is it there? Can you hear me now?

Tue, 8 Mar 2005 13:34:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - I researched for about 700 centuries before I bought this headset (give or take) and I want to give a fairly detailed review of it since I really haven’t seen any (especially for the ones with the 2.5 mm adapter). Function The scala...

Tasty shake, 20 grams of protein, expensive; hard formula

Tue, 8 Mar 2005 01:36:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Intro. and Background I'm 32 and in a state of arrested development. Emotionally, anyway, when I look at the "kids," around me at school, I forget that I'm almost twice their age now...but I am. It sinks in when I hear them talking about slide...

Sanyo MM-7400 Cellular Phone: If I could marry a phone, my 7400 would be wearing a ring.

Sun, 20 Feb 2005 18:10:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - My Experience with Cell Phones From May of 2004 up until a few weeks ago, I worked at the Shack. I sold Sprint and Verizon phones, averaging about 1 sale per day (small store). Still, that's a lot of phones. One gets to know them intimately...

Blockbuster Entertainment Online Store: Blockbuster Online is new, but it goes above and beyond in the DVD rental business.

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 04:24:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Years ago, I had tried NetFlix and been disappointed. I was receiving the wrong titles, scratched DVDs, and I was victimized by slow shipping and clumsy envelopes. I've heard that NetFlix has become much better, but since I'm known for holding...

Blood, sweat, tears, and NitroTech

Mon, 20 Jan 2003 22:20:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Mom, I want to be SuperMan. Can I have NitroTech? Sure, little Billy, but it won't help you because you don't lift weights. The purpose of this supplement as claimed by the company: -- Increases Protein Synthesis and Nitrogen Retention -- In...

Fitting sliced cheese into the ATM slot

Thu, 26 Dec 2002 23:15:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Fitting sliced cheese into an ATM slot without bending the cheese would be easier than it was to assemble this pile of plastic.

Epson Stylus C80 Inkjet Printer: Another printer that's good for "some people"

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 16:20:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - The specs

The manual states that it prints up to 20ppm black and up to 12ppm color. I haven't seen those speeds yet, nor do I need them.

If the air was blue, it's clear now

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 01:04:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Ok that's all well and good, but DOES IT CLEAN THE AIR?

Those of you that know me are aware that I'm pretty much a bottom-line guy. I once read that the greatest philosophy a salesman can have is to, "Sell the sizzle, not the steak."...

Palm Zire Handheld: Ring in the New Zire

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 21:11:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Ring in the New Zire; this is pretty appropriate. I mean, isn't one of you resolutions almost always to "get more organized," "stop procrastinating," or "Beam my business card to other palm users?" Ok, maybe not the latter, but this unit is the cheap...

NetFlix: Beautiful Concept--Shoddy Execution

Sun, 24 Feb 2002 14:18:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Quick shipment (initially) and outstanding customer service but wrong titles, damaged DVDs, and lack of control over order in which movies received make me cancel subscription...

I've Been Skydiving Twice, But I'll Never Be A Climber

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 10:15:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Introduction

I've never climbed a mountain (Ok, I did climb a really tall rock in New Jersey with a friend many years ago) but I hear it's fun. I've jumped out of a plane, twice, from 12,500 feet up above the dirt, though, and paid lots of...

For Whom the Drill Tolls

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Introduction

With Father's Day just around the corner, I had my eyes open. Traditionally, fathers didn't ask up front for anything that they'd like to receive on this day--that was reserved for Christmas and birthdays. But I'm here to...

Main Event: Kodak EZ200 vs. Sony Mavica FD-75

Mon, 4 Jun 2001 20:45:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author prapresident - Introduction

I'm not qualified to rate photography products, really, other than being the proud new owner of a Kodak EZ200. I don't know much at all about digital imaging, other than how to make images web-ready and what seems pleasing to my...
