Fri, 22 Dec 2006 00:07:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - This review is for the BMW 2007 335i coupe. I placed an order for this vehicle the first month it became available in the US. I had been following it's impending introduction on the internet for months and rread every review I could find. All the...

All in one gadget

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 00:49:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - There is an inherent trade-off in all PDA/Cell phone hybrid devices. People generally want their cell phones small for portability. However, if you use a PDA, you don't want it too small because the LCD screen won't be large enough to display enough...

Big, bright, and bulky

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 21:52:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Every time I buy a cell phone or MP3 player, they get smaller and smaller. Every time I buy a TV or computer monitor, they get bigger and bigger. My latest monitor is the 24" Dell Ultrasharp LCD monitor. My 19" was fine, but I got reimbursed from my...

Great mid-range projector TV

Mon, 27 Feb 2006 13:15:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Based on research I've done over the internet, it seemed you could get a very good front projector TV for about $1500 or so. I was in the market for a front projector TV for a home theater in my basement. I was initially going to spend less than $2000...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I've owned 4 Dell PC's over the past 12 years, but I bought my current computer system from Cyberpower on the recommendation of a friend who had glowing things to say about the company. I did my own research on the web and saw that although the pricing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I have ordered products from Crutchfield on numerous ocassions. These have included items ranging from small cable adapters costing $20 to a DLP front projection TV costing $5000. Without exception, I have been extremely pleased with the speed of...

Good but not perfect

Wed, 15 Dec 2004 23:14:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - The Magellan Roadmate 500 is identical to the more expensive Roadmate 700 except that the map data on the 500 is stored on a CF card rather than a built in hard drive. The unit I purchased is the 500 "plus" which ships with a 256K CF card and a suction...

Feature Packed PDA

Tue, 7 Sep 2004 22:06:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I received the Tungsten T3 as a free promotional gift for opening up an Ameritrade account. I did not plan on using it much and thought about giving it to a relative as a gift. But I took it out of the box and started using it, and now it's my primary...

Design over substance

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 00:40:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I finally had to junk my 8 year old Honda Accord last month, not because it broke down, but because I got into a fender bender requiring $3000 worth of repairs. It served me well over 120,000 miles, never had a major mechanical problem, and even after th...

Great build-up, lackluster climax

Fri, 20 Sep 2002 20:03:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I've probably read 15-20 books by Asimov, and I liked all of them without exception, including this one. I've not read all of his work, not even all of his major works, but so far his best novel(actually a short novel, or very long short story) is...

Great PDA

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 23:56:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - My very first PDA was the Palm 3 organizer. I bought it 4 years ago. It had a very hard to read monochrome display, 2MB of memory, and connected to my PC via a serial port. A virtual dinosaur in this age of rapidly evolving PDA's. But, it is well...

Motorola V60c: Feature packed, convenient size

Sun, 11 Aug 2002 14:51:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Cell phones are called upon to do more and more things these days. In addition to serving the basic functions of a cell phone, they are also mini web browsers, play games, function as bare boned PDA's, voice recorders, etc. It is amazing how all these...

Nice Odyssey alternative

Fri, 5 Jul 2002 13:03:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - There were two models I considered when I decided to purchase a minivan, the Honda Odyssey and the Mazda MPV. The reason was that at the time of this writing, those two models were the only ones that allowed the 3rd row of seats to be completely stowed,...

You get what you pay for

Wed, 5 Dec 2001 01:54:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - There are DVD players out there selling for under one hundred dollars. The question is, are the more expensive ones over priced, or are 80 dollar players nothing but junk? The answer probably lies in between.

The Samsung M301 is my second...

Motorola Timeport 270c Phone: Finally an easy hands free feature.

Wed, 5 Dec 2001 01:16:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - This is my fourth cell phone in the last two years. However, one was because my wife lost a phone, and this last purchase was because we decided to give my mother in law a phone to use in emergencies.

The Timeport 270c is about the same size...

Delightful pointlessness

Wed, 5 Dec 2001 00:37:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - It's ironic that I saw this show recently not one day after a discussion with my friend who said, "The problem with theatre is that a lot of stuff out there involves performances for the sake of performing...without a point." This statement sums up the...

Small and compact

Sun, 4 Nov 2001 12:14:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I actually came to own the Rio 500 because it came bundled with an HP CD-RW drive I recently purchased. The whole package cost me about 200 bucks. The CD-RW drive is not the fastest on the market, but I bought it because it came bundled with the Rio...

Truly unique

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 22:46:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Memento is more of a curiosity than a movie. And as with all curiosities, it can only be told once and retain its value. As a storytelling technique, this tale could never be duplicated again, or even approximated in any form in any other movie because...

DVD Empire Online Store: A great web-based vendor

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 13:17:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - When I order product online, what I look for is reliability and service. I want to feel secure that when I provide a company with my credit card number and order a product, I want that product delivered to my home in a reasonable amount of time, and I...

Sometimes funny, mostly stupid

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 11:51:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - When you see trailers for movies like this in theatres, there's a strange magnetism which somehow makes you want to see the film, even though you know, with almost cosmic certainty, that it can never be really THAT good. Zoolander is fits into a...

Under recognized masterpiece

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 20:13:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Some great films are under-appreciated but The Shawshank Redemption is not one of them, because just about anyone who has seen it gives it universal praise. Most people I know have not seen this film, and yet it's probably one of the best movies I've...

Motorola V120c: Size does matter

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 22:53:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - Losing a $250 cell phone is a painful experience, but that's exactly what happened to me (or more specifically my wife)a few weeks ago. To add insult to injury, we had to buy a new phone at full retail price since we were not initiating a new contract...

Cool gadget

Fri, 13 Jul 2001 21:21:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I have a very bad habit of spending more than I initially intended when I buy electronic gadgetry...the true sign of a junkie. I went to a chain electronics store to buy a digital camcorder to replace my massive analog Hi8 camcorder. I considered this...

Good idea, bad delivery

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 02:57:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - I happen to be a Spielberg fan. Let's face it, his directorial list of movies is the most impressive around...Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, the list goes on and on. His latest endeavor, AI, doesn't...

What's there not to like

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 23:35:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slimtae - My wife and I have been to Hawaii, Bermuda and Aruba...all within the span of 2 or 3 years, before our son was born. I am not a "beach person", I kinda hate the sand, and I can't stand having slimey suntan lotion all over my body. Hell, I can't even...
