rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wvoz1970 - So my old HP ze4805 laptop was singing its swan song... OK, more like a banshee cry. It kept shutting down and when I was lucky enough to catch the blue-screen error message before it turned off, the message was not good. Seems my CPU was overheating...

Wed, 6 Apr 2005 17:40:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wvoz1970 - If you haven't noticed... I'm a Holiday Inn regular. Take a look at most of my hotel reviews and you'll see that I choose HI hotels most of the time. The main reason being that their hotels, in general, are a clean and comfortable place to stay - at a...

Mon, 31 May 2004 00:11:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wvoz1970 - Holiday Inn Express advertises themselves using the phrase "Stay Smart". While I have stayed at many HI Express hotels, this one would probably not go to the top of my travel list for staying "smart". I recently had to attend a business meeting in...
