Panasonic PT-AE700U Multimedia Projector: Best Bang for your Buck

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 14:44:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I first became interested in getting a home theater projector about 5 years ago. At the outset, it seemed like a great alternative to those larger-than-life rear projection TV's - you know, the one's with the huge grey or black cabinet that take up the...

The Center of Perfection

Wed, 2 Jun 2004 10:57:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - We stayed at the Westin Ka'anapali for our Honeymoon in May of 2004. I titled my review rather appropriately I believe. This hotel is gorgeous. My new wife, who had never stayed in anything nicer than a Holiday Inn or Marriott Courtyard before, now...

Serviceable, Low Cost Performer

Sat, 1 May 2004 02:30:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I recently purchased this microwave from my local Best Buy when it appeared on sale for $199. My reasons were few. First and foremost, our kitchen has rather limited counter space so an over the range model had clear advantages. Secondly, Whirlpool...

Wait 'Til Next Year

Tue, 12 Aug 2003 14:45:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I do not personally own this unit - I am reviewing a friends recorder which he picked up in July, 2003. Recording This box appears to function perfectly as a recorder - at least if the frame of reference is the functionality of a good 'ol...

RCA DWD490RE DIRECTV with UltimateTV: Was Better than Tivo, Not So Today

Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:09:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - OK - at least the Tivo I have seen. I recently purchased my first home (yeah!!!) and the previous owner already had DirecTV. I was pretty fed up with digital cable - both the cost and the quality - which I found to be lacking. So, I knew I was heading...

Until digital VCR's make it ....

Wed, 23 Jan 2002 12:37:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I became interested in purchasing a new VCR about a month ago when my old Magnavox died on me. At first, I was just going to get a new VHS VCR in the $90 to $100 range - but I started thinking about the future a bit too. Tivo is out, as well as some...

Best value balanced speaker

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 16:02:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - About a year ago, I decided to upgrade my system to full Dolby digital surround sound. This was largely due to purchase of a DVD player - I wanted to hear my surround channel in all its' perceived glory. My first (and still in use) pair of...

Free Gas!

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 14:17:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I first became interested in a Shell card back in the summer of 2000 when gasoline hit those lofty highs. 5% back on gas sounded like a good deal to me! So - I applied for the card and got in in early October.

I use my card for only 1 thing...

A miniseries masterpiece

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 13:10:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - When HBO first ran commercials and previews for From the Earth to the Moon in late 1997 (Christmas) I knew I would be watching that spring when it began. I must confess, I am a NASA junkie - I go to the website often and I love to read/see just about...

Build a Train in Minutes!

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 14:36:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - When I was a kid - one of my favorite pastimes was to play with my model train. My first set was a Tyco HO scale railway pack - and it was expanded on greatly. I recall having a layout capable of running 3 trains at once on separate, but connected...

As good as anyone else

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 16:19:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I first got my Platinum First USA Visa 4 years ago right after graduating from college. I had about $1000 in seemingly revolving credit card debt (I would pay something just over the minimum every month) at the time and the balance transfer they offered...

Exotic look

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 15:02:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - My car is a 1997 Camaro Z28. Finding replacement tires last winter proved to be a challenge. The Camaro came std. from the factory with Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires in the size 245-50ZR16. I wanted to replace the Goodyear's with a similar tire - one...

Lego Robots!

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 12:22:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - Oh my Lord - the things your Lego's can do now! This is the most awesome toy in existence. It is almost infinitely extensible. This kit contains everything you will need to start learning how to do robotics right away. It really lets the imagination fly!...

The Need for Speed

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 12:06:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - What a great game! OK - I have not written to many game reviews, even though if you knew me, you would know that between PC and Playstation games, I have probably over 80 different choices for how to occupy my time. But - this game requires that I give...

Jedi have fun too

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 17:02:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I bought this game because the original Phantom Menace game stunk. It's plain and simple. I liked the supercharged animation sequence that is the game's intro - and I couldn't resist picking it up. Just because you have force moves - I had to have...

Putting all others on Ice

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 15:29:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - Some of my friends are really into the skateboarding games - most notably Tony Hawk. Personally, I dislike those games, and I don't know why. I guess I prefer winter sports. So - when I went looking for a great snowboarding/skiing sim, high on my list...

The Definitive Yes Album

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 18:29:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I first became a Yes-head when I got to college in 1990. As a "kid of the 80's" I grew up listening to the Police, Madonna (sorry), and the like - pretty much what was popular at the time. I had always known about Yes - or at least the 80's...

It's not the food

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 18:25:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - Like the title says, it's not the food that keeps this place in business. As some might say, "it's the atmosphere." More to the point, its the tightly clad girls walking around. But let me throw in all my points before I dish them too...

ePilot: EPilot Stinks!

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 15:22:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I signed up for the EPilot service about 4 months ago. I was initially a member in some of the banner ad services like AllAdvantage.com. But when I found EPilot - I decided I had found something useful.

The search engine actually gives you...

Great Learning Guitar

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 21:45:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - One day at age 27 (then) I was talking with a friend about "things we wanted to do but never did." One of mine was to learn to play guitar. I have always loved the instrument - in all genres from rock and roll to classical. So, I decided...

The Only Camera I will Ever Own

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 21:27:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - Believe it or not, I never owned a camera until a year ago. OK, I'm a guy and not married and us single guys don't take a lot of pictures. In fact, I bought the camera for a friend's wedding - and I have been in love with it ever since! I hated the...

Best Speaker for the Money

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 20:58:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I admit I am biased towards Paradigm speakers. I first heard them 8 years ago, and I bought a pair of Phantoms at that time. Back then, Phantom's came as a large bookshelf speaker with a 2 way system. The tweeter was the same as now (I believe), but...

Digital Camera Quality at Analog Price

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 10:17:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I never owned a camera of any type until APS came on the scene. I thought about going straight to digital - but the FD 300 makes any APS camera better and when announced, Kodak made the choice clear to me. I love this product - it has made getting...

Big sound with a low $

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 01:13:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I first got into hi-end home audio back in 1993, and the two companies I preferred right from the start were Denon and Yamaha. I was in the market for a Dolby Digital amp ever since I purchased my DVD player two years ago. The prohibitive issue for the...

May the Force be With You ...

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 15:16:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - I thought Lego was just for kids - but then they came out with Star Wars Lego - and EVERYTHING changed. I picked the A-Wing up to round out my collection - plain and simple. I was not overly impressed with the look of it. To me, it just doesn't look...
