Great DVD player (with decoder) for the price

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 18:32:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Well, I updated my Toshiba SD3109 to this guy and I'm very happy.

I have owned several DVD players, both Toshiba and not Toshiba, and if you need a Dolby Digital decoder in your player, this is the player that I recommend the highest.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb -

If you are looking for a stylish, feature-laden mp3 player, you are looking at one of the top line items on the market now (Aug 18, 2000).

I decided to look for mp3 players after receiving my third epinions bonus check. I have about a...

The best small digi-cam

Thu, 1 Jun 2000 19:55:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - I was in the market for a Digital Camera in March (2000), and I looked at alot of different cameras. I had about $1k to blow, so I was looking only at 3 megapixel and above. I saw the Sony cameras, but those are far too big. So, I bought the Powershot...

If you aint got no job...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - And if you's one broke-down mutha (I hope you like the G-rated material), Salt & Pepper is the place for you. By far the best thing about this place is the cost of the food. Everything is terribly cheap. A burger is a buck sixty-five. Yes, $1.65...

Great sushi just steps from Wrigley

Mon, 15 May 2000 16:16:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Matsuya is my personal favorite for sushi in the Wrigleyville area. It is located on the block south of Wrigley on Clark, on the east side of the street.

Matsuya has some of the best quality sushi around this area. They give a generous...

Best sports bar in Wrigleyville

Mon, 15 May 2000 14:48:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Well, I have had many an interesting night at Justins, but I don't think I want to address those right now. Waste of space, and I'm sure none of you want to hear about them.

Justins is a great local bar in Wrigleyville, and IMHO the best...

Thai Ballgame

Mon, 15 May 2000 14:23:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Banana Leaf Kitchen, located at Grace and Southport, is IMHO the highest quality Thai restaurant in the Wrigleyville area. On a street (Southport) with several options for Thai food (including Hi Ricky and Once upon a Thai) and a multitude of options...

A sweet machine, even if it is from IBM

Mon, 13 Dec 1999 23:53:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Wow, this machine is sweet. Yeah, I really didn't expect it, because of the whole stigma of IBM in the late 1980s. It seemed that the machines that IBM put out were slower and more expensive than all of the compatibles. But in the past couple of...

Stereo Review's Sound & Vision: Fun to read - too bad I can't afford anything in here

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 15:01:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - I always loved to read Stereo Review, because it always had reviews of the coolest new Audio components. The reviews were always well written, but not in an "over-you-head" type of way. The reviewers always seemed to be on a cooler level than...

Creepy stuff, this movie

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 12:31:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - The Bone collector was a good movie, with some creepy things. Thankfully, it wasn't 'jump-out-at-you' creepy, just suspenseful and well done creepiness.

Denzel does a pretty good job, but I guess he doesn't really have to move that much...

Epinions is the best thing out there.

The best ESPN commercials

Thu, 4 Nov 1999 13:55:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - What follows are quotes from some of the best ESPN commercials of all time. If you have no other reason to watch ESPN, watch it for these:

"Yeah, isn't that the all sports channel, like in Spanish or something?"

"Why don't...

About UPS, chanster is wrong / All day long, he hits tha bong.

Wed, 3 Nov 1999 12:33:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Listen here, chanster:

Just because you have one negative experience with UPS does not mean that "they are never on time," or that "their customer zvervice is terrible." All it means is that you had an isolated...

Yahoo! Mail: Yahoo / For youuu!

Wed, 3 Nov 1999 01:00:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Yahoo mail is the smoothest free online email site that I have yet to come across. The interface is very nice. Yahoo! mail of course supports all types of file transfers, including attachments both attached to your mail, or embedded in the message...

Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: New SCH-3500! Better than Nokia's 5thousands or 6thousands.

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 20:33:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - First I want to talk about the not-yet-released Samsung SCH-2500, which looks to be great, utilizing a tri-mode for greater coverage. This could be a great leap for Samsung in the personal telecommunication market. But my phone is the SCH-3500, and I...

I've loved my mom's Protege / I wanted to drive it every day

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 20:13:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - In the past 4 years, the one car that I have consistently driven is the 1996 Mazda Protege. My mother bought this car after I totalled her 1993 Mazda 323. Oops. Sorry mom.

The Protege is smaller than the 626, and is the smallest non-sports...

This guy is insane! / But he's very humane

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 19:54:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - A couple of months ago, I was calmly changing the channels, looking for something after another great episode (although rerun) of South Park. All of a sudden, on the 'Animal Planet' channel, I see a single man jump out of a canoe in the middle of the...

Don't get this mag / It's really a drag

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 17:44:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Sport magazine is not a very good magazine for general sports, but it actually has quality NBA coverage.

In general, Sport magazine pretty much sucks. They will occasionally come out with lists of best players in the NFL or MLB or whatvever,...

This game is great / No violence, no hate

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 17:31:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Basically, Pokemon Red is a role playing game with a new twist, you dont use yourself to fight , you fight using trained beasts called Pokemon. Pokemon is also one of the few gameboy games that uses the link cable to not only challenge other player but...

If you use Metacrawler / You’ll never have to call her

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 15:56:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Metacrawler (put out my go2net) is the best search engine out there. It is (obviously) a meta-search. This means that it uses several different search engines, and puts their results together. Some of the more popular engines that it uses are Excite,...

Panama City is fun / As long as there is sun

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 13:56:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - Women, women, women. Many sexy females were in Panama City both times I was there. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have quite the game to compete with all of the 6'8" football players. But hey, I made do.

PCB is a great college...

Have fun in South Padre / Just don't tell your Madre

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 13:38:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stefanb - South Padre Island was my final spring break during my college life. I drove down from Chicago, Illinois, and loved the drive. Two of my best friends were in the car, and we listened to country music the _whole way down_. I really liked country...
