rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - I had this television for just over a year when the picture failed. The sound was fine, the channels changed, but there was no picture. (After some research, I discovered that many people have had the same problem with Toshibas.) The...

Multiple manufacturer defects

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - I purchased these tires for a Honda Accord. The tires (that didn't fall apart) lasted for about 45,000 miles at which time they had to be replaced because of tread wear. However, prior to that, I had two tires that had to be completely replaced...

Great price, quality product

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - I researched laptops a long time before narrowing my options down to the Toshiba and Sony. I tested both at a local computer store and decided on the Sony because of the price, construction of the computer, and recommendations of friends. I'm very...

What a disappointment!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - I purchased this phone based on the reviews at Epinions... and unfortunately I was very disappointed! In the end, the basic qualities you need in a phone are clear reception and decent voice quality, and this phone has neither. The reception on the phone...

Horrible product... shame on Norton!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - Up until this point in my life, I have always been a big fan of Norton products, including SystemWorks and Anti-Virus. However, I recently purchased Norton Personal Firewall 2004... It was a disaster. I spent 4 hours installing and uninstalling...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - Aimee Bender. Remember the name... because this woman is destined to become one of America's best writers. I read "An Invisible Sign of My Own" on the recommendation of an author friend. Published in 1998, the plot of this novel is fairly simple in...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - Let me first say that this has been the singular most frustrating, ridiculous customer service experience I have ever had.

If it looks too good to be true...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - When I ran across a complete ink cartridge refill system at Costco for $17.00, I thought, how could I wrong with this? (Famous last words...)

Well, I found out how wrong I could go. To start with, I tried to refill a color cartridge for an HP...

Not for the faint of heart

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - In theory, Norton SystemWorks is a great idea. You get:

1) A program to protect your computer from viruses (Norton Anti-virus)

2) A program to make sure all of those old or unneeded files, Internet pages, and cookies get removed...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - Let me first say the my cell phone is an Audiovox CDM-4500 (a dual mode phone) and I most frequently use it within the Seattle/Bellevue area to make local calls, so I'm not commenting on the long range quality or long distance charges for Verizon, merely...

Good phone at a reasonable price

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - I did a lot of research before purchasing a phone, and based on that research the Audiovox 4500 came out on top for best deal. (I ruled out the flip phones first because I think they're difficult to hold for long conversations and are too delicate.)...

Nice bag with a couple flaws

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tark91 - This is my first golf bag and overall I like it. It has lots of pockets including a small mesh pocket on the side, which is great for tees, gloves and other small items. The bag itself is smaller than most, which makes it lighter than most other carry...
