rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I have gotten back into astronomy after a 20 year hiatus. Back in the day, there were a select few scope manufacturers, and they were fairly pricey. Fast forward two decades, and there are more makers than ever, each offering slightly different versions...

Good camera, just not great

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I bought the Olympus C-50 Zoom about six months ago after much online research. I decided on this camera based on several factors, two of which was the overall good reviews here on Epinions, and the Olympus name. I'll spare everybody the...

Fantom Twister Upright Vacuum: Don't make the same mistake I did.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - Boy, how I wish I'd read these reviews before I purchased the Fantom FM760 from HSN. Several of the reviews describe the problems I've had in the 5 weeks I've owned this piece of junk. I saw several presentations of this vacuum on HSN one...

Torture, plain and simple.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - This mini-review is intended to save someone from making the same mistake I made. I agree with the other reviewers of this film, that the first one was decent. This sequel, however seems to have been written with a crayon. It sounds and plays like the...

Got my money's worth

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I purchased this notebook after a fair amount of research and assessment of what I actually needed. This computer will be used mainly for surfing the Net, a few games, and several normal applications(such as databases, spreadsheets, etc.). I'm not plan...

added the lat attachment

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I recently ordered the lat attachment for my Bowflex XT. (I wrote my review of the Bowflex XT in December '01, so I won't rehash everything here, just to say it was very positive. The title is 'former iron pumper', and you can read that review if you...

buy something else

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - First of all, the telescope I own is the 800x60 model, not the 700x60. However, it is still basically the same thing.

I have been into astronomy for over 30 years, and thought I'd introduce it to my 10 yr old son. So, one night as I'm...

you don't need anything better

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I've recently returned to the sport I love after a long hiatus. I couldn't believe the progress that hockey equipment manufacturers have made since I last played in the early to mid 80s. The 652 model I have(1999 model like the ones depicted) are without...

former iron pumper

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I'll get right to the point...it is an awesome machine. I lifted weights for over 16 years, but my shoulders just couldn't take it anymore. After several cortisone shots, I was persuaded by my doctor to do something besides weightlifting to stay in...

one of a million

Fri, 14 Dec 2001 22:43:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rocco13 - I bought my 98 Dodge Quad Cab last February, after driving several Chevys over the previous 8 years. I liked my Chevys, but I just wanted a change. I'd always liked the looks of the redesigned Dodge, but had never driven one. What a thrill it was to...
