Yeah...plasma!

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 14:44:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - First off, this is the commercial version of Pioneer's Elite PRO-1000HD 50 inch plasma display. It costs a couple of thousand less than a PRO-1000, but one must add an optional PDA-5002 video board (about $450) to get video inputs. The plasma display...

Panasonic DVD-PV40 Portable DVD Player without Screen: Half of a mobile big screen experience

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 18:24:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - The player alone is quite nice--stylish, ultra-thin, ultra-light, remote controlled. It is, in fact, the exact same unit as the DVD-LV60 without the screen. It has most if not all of the features of full-sized home units, including a full-function...

Olympus Eye-Trek FMD-150W: Olympus FMD-250W

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 14:47:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - This is definitely the coolest piece of electronic gadgetry out there right now. I'm sure the shine of "high-techness" is coloring my opinion right now, but anyone willing to shell out $700 for what is basically a gizmo appreciates that shine.

It could save you too

Tue, 21 Aug 2001 16:15:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - This is my second Giro...the first one is in pieces on display in my office.

My back wheel locked up at about 40 mph going down a steep hill. The bike went down with me on it. My head snapped back against the pavement. I felt like my ear...

Long distance runner

Fri, 18 May 2001 04:38:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - Having crested 40, the old saddle on my mountain bike (a very good Trek) wasn't treating my rump and back quite as kindly as in years past. I have been using a Schwinn HRC-235i recumbent exercise bike for the last several years (you can look up my...

Traveller's Friend

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 15:40:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - As a frequent traveller, I find myself constantly in need of basic tools. Whether it's to tighten up a screw on my laptop computer, trim a wire, cut paper, measure something, or open a bottle of wine, I was always hunting around for a tool.

Screwpull Lever: Elegance and excellence

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 18:57:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - I love a product which has inherent quality or design excellence. The Screwpull lever model is such a product. It does exactly what it was designed to do with an elegance that blows away every competitor.

Best coffee! (with a few caveats)

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 18:21:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - If you're looking for the perfect cup of coffee in your own home, this is definitely the coffee maker for you. The beans are ground moments before brewing, the brewing process has been very well thought out, and the resulting coffee rivals that...

The Mercedes Benz of Breadmakers

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 22:16:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - I have always loved the idea of a bread machine, but the reality of the tube-shaped loaf produced by most machines on the market did not appeal. This machine makes a traditional rectangular loaf of very high quality.

It has two mixing...

Great bike

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 21:31:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author showbiz5 - It was high time I committed to a regular aerobic workout program, but the problem was, I didn't particularly like to exercise. I didn't like jogging outdoors (too hard on the shins), I didn't like treadmills (bounce too much to read), and stairmasters...
