Yahoo! Music Unlimited Online Service: If you love Netflix, you'll love Yahoo Music --- even with the bugs

Sat, 15 Oct 2005 12:25:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - Yahoo Music Unlimited is to music what Netflix is to movies, and has brought this 40-something back into the music marketplace. When you're in your 20's, you're tied into the music buzz --- new artists, new songs, clubs, tips from friends. But as I grew...

Wait For The Next Generation

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 09:19:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I'd been waiting for a reasonably priced color laser multi-function printer and jumped at the MF8170C when it first came out. However, this first generation is not the smoothest and refined Canon product I've owned. Given its size (big), weight (very...

Eureka Smart 4870DT Bagged Upright Vacuum: Best I've Ever Owned - Pet Hair be Gone

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 16:33:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I've always bought cheap vacuums, you know, the $69 Hoover deal, thinking there wasn't that much different. But they didn't pick up pet hair very well, so I looked for something more powerful and Consumer Reports recommended the Eureka Boss SmartVac. At...

Do I still love it after 15K miles?

Wed, 9 Apr 2003 22:11:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - Thw WRX seduced me to end my love affair with Toyotas after 20 years. I live in the mountains, needed AWD, and wanted to simplify from having BOTH a regular 4 seat daily driver AND a 2 seat fun machine. The answer was a WRX.

uBid Online Auction: Loved 'em for years, hate 'em now

Mon, 26 Nov 2001 09:30:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I was an enthusiastic uBid shopper for years, bagging binfuls of bargains - mostly refurbed computers and electronics at rock bottom prices. Items shipped quickly. I loved uBid and turned lots of friends on to it.

About a year ago (after CMGI...

Think twice before buying

Sat, 17 Nov 2001 09:10:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I tried to incorporate as many energy efficient features as possible into a new house I built - including energy efficient appliances. I learned about Equator's line of clothes processors, and - even though I had plenty of space - I loved their modern...

Great until you have a problem!

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 08:53:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I like a lot of things about NextCard ... when nothing goes wrong. Online review of charges and account management has worked well for me.

But for two months now I've been caught in NextCard hell disputing almost $4,000 in fraudulent charges...

DocuPrint N17 Printer: Sturdy, reliable, well priced

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 15:11:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - When you're ready to move up to a REAL laser printer for your home or small office, the Zerox N17 is a great choice. I played around with a couple of $300 personal lasers, but they didn't handle anything but the most basic tasks very well. When I found...

Not Fast but Fabulous

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 14:16:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - This is my 3rd bread machine (1st was a Regal - no longer available - that I loved and went to the other party in a separation, the 2nd was an Oster, a dud that lasted 2 days before being returned). The Panasonic uses 2 tricks that turn out the BEST...

Whole grain brickmaker - beware!

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 10:04:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - This is my 2nd bread maker, the first being a Regalware 6745s (which went to the 'other party' in a separation), so I'm not a breadmaker novice. The 6745 was great, but it doesn't seem to be made any longer --- so I tried the Oster.

Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev: Designers dream, developers frustration

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 15:39:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I'm still looking for the 'perfect' high end, data-base driven site authoring tool. UltraDev comes close, but only has the most basic database interactions for a beginning site. Thank heavens UltraDev makes it easier than any other WSYWIG authoring tool...

Good for small biz, friendly

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 18:40:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - Most of the 'net banks' are for individuals only, so the choices for a sole proprietor small business online account are far fewer. I moved to USAccess Bank because I was fed up with the hefty fees charged and no interest paid by by 'local' Bank of...

TWAIN prob, fab pics

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 18:06:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - The DC 280 gets gorgeous, right on color and is easy to use. I'm VERY happy with it --- my second digital camera. There's lots of flexibility, and the on-screen menu is very user friendly - no trying to figure out lots of cryptic mini symbols obscurely...

Clumpy disappointment

Fri, 30 Jun 2000 09:35:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rgdave - I live in the country, with about 4/3 of an acre to mow. I've owned a couple of Snappers - lots of power, but problems with the propelling mechanism and the engines are touchy. So I did a lot on online research, and decided on the Deere JS63 as the best...
