Excellent Expansion to a Great Game

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:29:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - Its an expansion-I have been an avid gamer for a number of years. I must say that since I started playing WoW I have played that more than anything else. Since this review covers that expansion, I'm going to just quickly note that...

Honda Sexy Family Car? Maybe

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:57:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - Are you looking for a car that will let you live out your youth, but now that you have youths of you own don't think you can any more. Well read this review and you might change your mind. My Camry after 8 years and 150K miles of...

Smart is right...value and quality.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange -

I got this through Verizon for $100 (after rebates). For this price, this is great product. Of course you have to ask yourself if this unit is going to suit your needs. I was looking at a phone that would provide good telephone services...

Move over SUVs, wagons are coming back

Tue, 11 Dec 2001 09:57:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - While SUVs have become increasingly more popular on the road these days, don't be sucked in just yet.

(short) SUV RANT

OK, I know that some people genuinely need the cargo or the off-road capability of these things, but really...

0% is good, BUT....

Mon, 10 Dec 2001 15:49:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - 0% TEMPTATION

Are you just starting to look for a new sedan? Are you tempted by all the 0% financing for a new car?

Well think before you jump. It is true that right now you can find outstanding deals on new cars, but I want you...

Iomega Zip USB Drive: USB Zip Drive and 3 disks for less than $85?!?

Fri, 28 Sep 2001 09:13:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - You bet, and before this review is over I will tell you how.

HISTORY and PURCHASE RATIONALE

I decided to get this zip drive mostly as a result of having lost my cable modem connection. So downloading anything was now a real drag...

Works well but not for all kinds of meat

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:42:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I have somewhat mixed feelings about this product. First I have to say that I really enjoyed the convenience of being able to drop in some meat and vegatables and letting it do the cooking for you. And for certain dishes, I think the slow cooker works...

"Knock-out" the fat : review and recipes

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 09:22:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I got this as a Christmas gift from my parents. And I have to say, upon opening the present I was not terribly happy. I had seen enough infomericals about the product, but these types of ads have always made me doubt the product. In recent years, I...

Camelback Schmamelback

Sun, 28 Jan 2001 22:45:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - Are you still using water bottles on the trails? Why? Once you try a hydropack, I would be surprised if you go back to waterbottles.

"Whats wrong with waterbottles?" you ask? Well a couple of things. First of all I have scarcely been...

2001 Schwinn Rocket88 rockets to the top of its class

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 19:11:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - My review is for the 2001 bike, rather than the 2000. I won this bike from Schwinn in a tube naming contest, which permits me to review the bike without considering cost. This can be a good thing, but most of you need to consider the price. I will try...

OK it works but is it painful

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 02:17:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I agree with many of the posts on this product. Having used one on my rhodesian ridgeback, it curtailed her typical pull on the leash. That is not to say that my dog stopped pulling entirely. If there was something she was interested in, she would...

Dog Chewing Out of Control? Read this

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 14:39:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - When we first got our puppy, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, we found that she loved to chew on practically everything. Pillows, Furniture, and of course shoes. While we were able to control much of this behavior by keeping a close eye, you probably know that...

Getting a New Puppy? Get this book

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 17:54:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - The Monks of New Skete are in fact monks that have been highly involved in training dogs. While this may sound odd to you, I would suggest putting aside religious preconceptions and look at their book the Art of Raising a Puppy. This book will start...

Zed X has a lot going on.

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 10:40:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I saw this bike last year for only $600 (1999 model) and I couldn't believe how good it was. I was especially intrigued due to the fact that I really didn't know that K2 was a big manufacturer of bikes. They did an excellent job with this one. While...

GT Rebound: Overpriced and Underspec'ed

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 18:50:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - If you want a smooth, technical minded bike at an budget price, then this bike unfortunately is not what you are looking for. I think that this would make an excellent entry level bike if it was priced for about a hundred dollars less than what I have...

Mountain Biking in Kettle Morraine

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 16:00:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - This state park is a godsend for those seeking a place to mountain bike in the midwest. Sure there really aren't any mountains around to speak of, but how many of you actually want to ride up and down a mountain? (well maybe some of you, but this place...

This bike only costs $500?

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 00:02:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - It is puzzling how much you can get on a bike for a little over $500 these days. It wasn't long ago that you would have to spend over a $1000 for an off-road worthy rig. Having only rode this bike once, I have limited experience with it. But I can say...

If you are on the cutting edge, but still old fashioned....

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 16:40:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - If you are on the "cutting edge" of technology, but still old fashioned enough to get the latest and greatest information digitally, then PC Magazine may be for you. This comment is meant to be condescending, as I think many of you guys are...

Nice Scroller, but the Trackball doesn't roll well

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 02:20:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - The most important part of the trackball is how it feels to you. For me the Microsoft trackball felt terrible. It wasn't at all responsive and the rolling action wasn't smooth at all. I had decided to move the trackball from the mouse because of the...

Sram Grip Shift Plasma: Stay with Shimanos

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 02:04:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - Ok, I realize that shifters are mostly a matter of preference, but I think there are a couple of structural reasons not to get a grip shifter. First of all, accidental shifts. There is nothing worse that climbing up a steep and technical hill, and then...

Aiwa HT-D390 Home Theater: Great entry level way into the Digitial World

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 01:27:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - So you are tempted by Digital Dolby? Well if you enjoy high fidelity sound with good picture quality, then you should be. So will this little Aiwa system be the answer to your technolust? Well maybe... Hate to be wishy washy but let me break it down...

eMachine P3 600/DVD/20GB for $700?!?!

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 00:52:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - PROS

Why settle for a budget processor like a Celeron or a K6-2 when you can get a Pentium III for a little more than $700. This machine has a lot to offer for buyers in this price range. The first and most obvious is the processor, which is...

Gary Fisher Big Sur: How Biblical is the Genesis Geometry

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 01:43:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I got to hand it to Gary Fisher. One of the key highlights of this bike is his patented Genenis geometry.

Genenis Geometry and the Ride -

The basics of the geometry are a longer top tube, shorter and stiffer chainstays and a...

Specialized Hardrock: Excellent Entry Level Bike

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 00:59:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - If you are thinking about getting started in off-road biking, this bike makes for an excellent choice. I have seen this bike as cheap as $375 at REI. My girlfriend bougth this bike last year for a little over $400. I wouldn't spend any more than...

Off-Road Biking in and around Madison, Wisconsin

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 18:33:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rtange - I grew up in California, living in Los Angeles until I graduated college. I then lived in New York City for a couple of years. When I got accepted to graduate school at UW-Madison, believe me I went there kicking and screaming. I thought that I would...
