Sat, 10 May 2003 21:46:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - We just bought the InStep Quick N Easy bike trailer from Toys R Us. The Sports Authority was having a sale on a higher model InStep bike trailer/stroller that I was interested in, but it was beyond my price point and exceeded my feature needs.

Mon, 11 Jun 2001 22:18:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - I actually own one. Read this review if you want to find out what it's like to use a Game Boy Advance, and not simply speculate about what it might be like.

I wandered into Toys R Us earlier today and browsed the video game isle just...

An Excellent Introduction to Fusebox

Fri, 18 May 2001 11:06:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Having recently become interested in the Fusebox Cold Fusion methodology, I was happy to discover that a very concise and friendly book exists in order to explain it.

Fusebox is not a technology in and of itself... but rather a methodology...

They Won't Run Without a HeatSink

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 14:20:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Just a few days ago I upgraded my Pentium II 450 to a Pentium III 600 by simply swapping out the CPUs. Before attempting the upgrade, I made sure that my motherboard could handle this processor. The Pentium III 600 is the fastest CPU that is compatible...

Just Give Me a Place To Sleep

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 13:31:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - I admit it. I'm a Disney Commando. When I visit Disney World, my goal is non-stop action and experience, not relaxation. I don't take that lame-o advice that you see on every single Disney website and every Disney newsgroup: "take a leisurely...

Soul Caliber Kicks Tekken's Butt

Tue, 31 Oct 2000 13:35:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Wow, I think Playstation owners live in a different universe or something. I spent 5 hours last night playing Tekken Tag Tournament on my friend's brand new Playstation 2, and I have a very different view of the game than most of you Playstation...

Oracle8i Release 3: Yeah, the "i" is hokey, but the product is great

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 03:08:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - The "i" apparently stands for "internet" because Oracle 8i contains many features that make it desirable to use within a large scale internet application environment. I'm not a database guy, so I don't know a lot of the details, but...

This thing has saved me hours of sleep!

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 01:33:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - That's right... sleep. You see, our basement used to leak. We've since gotten it fixed from the outside, but there was a time about 2 springs ago when it would leak with nearly every heavy rainfall. Half of our basement is fully finished and livable,...

Almost Famous is Fantastic and Extremely Likeable

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 01:40:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Almost Famous is a story about nothing much at all. The movie just flows, and you accept it as it flows. There's no real, definite goal or end point in the movie, but you know when you've reached the end. There is a tremendous sense of wrap-up and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Everyone has fond memories of the Atari 2600. It was the main staple electronic toy for kids growing up in the early 80s. Everyone has their unique stories as well as their similar experiences with the 2600.

Sat, 23 Sep 2000 00:04:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - I was about seven years old when my brother received a Microvision for his birthday. Man, I remember that thing like it was yesterday. I believe that the Microvision was the first cartridge-based handheld system. At the time, dedicated handhelds like...

Almost like applying green paint to your lawn

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 23:18:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - I'm not a big fertilizer user. If at all, I use it once a year in the spring. I don't know a lot about lawn care, but I *do* know that this stuff works wonders! It will make your lawn turn a deep shade of emerald green about two days after...

I Actually Got Food Poisoning

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 12:38:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Ugh. On July 23, 2000 my wife and I were traveling home from a weekend in Wildwood, NJ when we stopped at the Atlantic City service area along the Garden State Parkway. It was about 7:00 in the evening when we stopped to have a quick dinner and...

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 14:18:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - The Nomad II is my second MP3 player. The first being a 96MB eGo from MyAudio2Go.com. I've reviewed the eGo in another epinion, and even after owning it for many months, I still think it's one of the premiere MP3 players available.

Register.com: There are Much Cheaper Alternatives!

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 10:43:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - One or two years ago, Register.com was the king of domain registration. Everyone knows that Network Solutions was the real king, but they were much too complicated for the average user to figure out. I got my first couple of domains through Network...

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 15:12:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Gimme 14.4 Please!

When I first started learning about modems I was looking to upgrade my Hayes 2400 to something with a little more zip. Back then, the choices were a little more limited. 14.4 was the cap, and you really only had a...

Cookie-Cutter Submarine Movie with Some Excitement

Sun, 4 Jun 2000 01:05:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Having recently watched the full director's cut of Das Boot, it was hard not to compare that ultra-serious submarine classic to this "blockbuster" action movie. U-571 is not a movie for nitpickers like me... there are tons of small details...

Intel SE440BX-2: Watch Out -Early Versions Don't Support All P-III Processors

Wed, 31 May 2000 15:32:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - A lot of mass market system like Micron and Gateway use this board. It is a great board with a lot of support, but it does have a few quirks. Intel is not known for making a highly configurable board, so you might want to steer clear if you plan on...

Tue, 30 May 2000 21:57:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - My wife and I have a pair of mountain bikes that we like to take on local trips during the summer. During a trip last year, we were riding past a bike shop when I suddenly had the idea to purchase a new seat because my current seat was feeling very...

Tue, 30 May 2000 00:42:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - I picked up a pair of Nikon Egret II binoculars when visiting the Virgin Islands last year. I had previously researched binoculars as I've always wanted a pair. I happened to see the Egret IIs in the VI for a nice price, so I picked them up. I was...

Pineapple Is Better, But Coconut Is Pretty Good Too

Tue, 30 May 2000 00:22:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - Whenever I go to the Virgin Islands I make it a point to pick up 6 bottles of Cruzan flavored rum. My favorite, by far, is their Pineapple rum, but I also usually bring home a bottle or two of the Coconut flavor.

The Cruzan flavored rums are...

Cool Card with Great Features

Mon, 29 May 2000 22:30:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - American Express has always been a non-choice for me when it comes to credit cards because they have always been fee-based, and it's just plain stupid to pay for a credit card. I just don't understand why people carry regular Amex cards. Blue is...

Red Hat Linux: My First Time, I'm Glad I Chose Red Hat

Mon, 29 May 2000 21:50:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - If only for the breadth of support, Red Hat is a good choice for Linux newbies like me. I just spent the past two weeks learning Linux from scratch in order to set up my own web server and workstation. Yes, I imagine that Linux has come a long way in...

Armada Is Best As Multiplayer

Mon, 29 May 2000 21:26:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skadar - After buying Armada and playing it for a while, I couldn't see myself playing it very often. Frankly, I just didn't get it. The manual is horrible and I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing. I played it for about an hour or two and...
