AVOID THESE GUITARS!!!

Sat, 18 Jun 2005 17:14:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I bought one of these horribly crafted excuses for junk yesterday and am returning it TODAY! I turned the tuning nut just a little to tune it and the string went shooting across the room and the white nut that held it to the body of the guitar did the...

Avoid This Game Like the Plague!

Sun, 31 Oct 2004 17:04:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - Do a search on "Neverwinter Nights" and "crash" and see how many hits you get. Guess what, it's over 55,000!!! One of the most active threads on all the discussion forums for this game is always regarding crashes. This game seems to work only with...

For avid birders who aren't rich Republicans

Fri, 30 Jul 2004 20:38:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I was amazed at the quality of this scope! I have been birding for 25 years without a scope and had no idea what I was missing. At first, I was partial to buying a Kowa scope, but then the folks at Eagle Optics (a great place to buy birding optics, by...

The single WORST video purchase I've ever made!

Sat, 26 Jun 2004 23:17:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - This product should never have gone to the public without working out its many, many, many kinks. For one thing, it seldom records an entire show. If one sets it up to record more than one show, it will usually record the second show over the first,...

Best for the money

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 17:45:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - This is an incredible binocular. My expectations were low as I bought this on Ebay for $40. I couldn't have been more surprised! This outperforms binoculars costing twice or three times their retail price. In low light conditions particularly these...

Beware of this waste of time and money

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 01:02:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - After only 5 months (and about a dozen "sessions") of use, this is cluttering my apartment as a useless piece of junk. In no time, this mandolin needed a bridge adjustment (several of the notes didn't play at all anymore). I was told this was...

Great little workhorse of a camera

Sat, 7 Feb 2004 15:12:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I have been using a 500si since 1997 and it has performed wonderfully. I have shot print and slide film in almost every available ISO and have never been dissatisfied with the camera. My photographic abilities, yes, the camera, no. I often get asked...

Probably the best choice in 4.0 point and shoot digicams.

Mon, 6 Jan 2003 00:30:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I have used a Minolta SLR 35mm camera for years, so I guess I was pre-disposed to the brand name, but I entered the digicam world with reservations. I am a techie by disposition and trade and I have no fear of the digital world, but I was convinced that...

Good binoculars for indoor use only.

Tue, 19 Feb 2002 21:35:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - From the moment I bought these binoculars, I knew I'd made a mistake. I couldn't focus enough on a bird that was only a few hundred feet away with the binoculars on to tell what kind it was. With my naked eye, however, I could tell it was a crow...

Not Casio's best effort.

Sat, 2 Feb 2002 14:43:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - This is a feature rich watch, but there are better ones out there.

Time: Mine has proved to be accurate to within 30 seconds per month (when measured against the "atomic" clock). That's 15 seconds worse than Casio claims.

Experienced birder wasn't expecting much...and was wrong!

Sun, 23 Dec 2001 01:25:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I have been an avid birder for almost 25 years and have owned about 5 binoculars. I've had my Diafun 8x30's for a year now and can honestly report that these are by far the best optics I've ever had.

Zeiss doesn't tout them as birder...

RCA VR540 VHS VCR: Totally misses the mark

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 22:37:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - The commercial advance feature works only about 30% of the time. I had to eventually disable the feature as it started ejecting all tapes after taping a show, making taping more than one show impossible.

This is the noisiest VCR I've ever...

Totally Useless After Only 20 Months!

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 22:12:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - After only 20 months of use, this coffeemaker sprung a leak in the water pump and is totally useless! That wasn't to be the only disappointment.

Don't get me wrong, it makes great coffee; but so do many coffee makers costing 10% of this one!...

Best Car I Ever Owned

Sat, 10 Feb 2001 03:29:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wyrd_guy - I have for the last 10 years driven used Volvos. When the time came to buy a new car, I decided to check out Chevy's because I drive a Corsica as a company car and love it.

I am glad I did. We picked the Malibu because it was the...
