Tue, 12 Sep 2000 19:54:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - I have owned a Uniden EXP 7900 telephone for several months, and it has provided me with a fairly good lifetime, as far as portable telephones go. It doesn't have all bells and whistles that other phones have, but its price reflects that.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - I first took a sip of Rick's Spiked Lemonade last weekend, and I instantly became quite a fan. Brewed at the RSL Spiked Beverage Company in Auburndale, Florida, this drink has quite an attitude. In fact, most things from Florida have this kind of...

Tue, 30 May 2000 07:52:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - Houston has been my home for quite some time, and every day, it seems as if I loathe the city even more. The attractive points of Houston pale in comparison to the horrors. I can think of many reasons not to come to Houston, but I can honestly say...

Mon, 29 May 2000 21:11:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - As always, Stephen King brings to the public a horrifying adventure of surreality and suspense. He writes Firestarter with such style and ability that I never wanted to put the book down -- not even to get something to drink.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - I first used an older version of the Logitech TrackMan about a year ago and thought I really didn't like it too much. Moving the trackball around was rather tedious at first, and I didn't like the way it was shaped. But, through increased use of it, I...

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 07:05:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author saveth - I must applaud Nintendo for being able to keep the Mario Brothers saga continuing for so long. I believe I first played the original Mario Brothers game sometime around 1988 or 1989, and now Super Mario 64 has been out for a fairly lengthy amount of...
