It has taken a lot of patience and aggravation. The lemon laws (they suck) where I live prevented me from taking the course of action that the other reviewers on this car took.** After doing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169319894660 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 08:06:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169319894660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_193098059396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - When I first watched "The Little Mermaid", I was single. Some friends and their girlfriends and I rented this movie on a lark and watched it on a cold Midwestern winter night when nothing else was going on. I remembered that I thought that this was a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~193098059396 Sun, 14 Aug 2005 18:33:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_193098059396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_191195025028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - Unfortunately, after a hiatus of a few years caused by moving away from a Northwest hub, I had to fly Northwest again. The legs were PDX-MSP-DTW with the return leg DTW-PDX. I figured with the major legacy airlines trying to stay afloat financially,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~191195025028 Wed, 27 Jul 2005 05:41:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_191195025028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190401384068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - My family and I decided to take a little one-day, one night jaunt to Chicago. I went on Priceline and ended up paying $100/night/room. For a "luxury" four-star hotel, the suggested price in the Magnificent Mile area was listed as $259. So I thought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190401384068 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 03:56:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190401384068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186694667908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - Well, I am surprised that I would be writing a review for something so mundane such as underwear but if you really think about it, underwear is something that touches you (for most people) everyday. To get the technical portion over: 1) The boxers... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186694667908 Wed, 22 Jun 2005 06:56:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186694667908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186437504644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - Update: After writing this review, we looked and looked through all of our various bags and found out that after staying at this hotel, we are missing 1) a PDA (my wife's) 2) a new Brookstone travel alarm clock 3) My wife's cell phone which someone had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186437504644 Sun, 19 Jun 2005 02:51:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186437504644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129108708996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - Recently, my family and I traveled to Hawaii. Because of recent additions to the family, a single hotel room was no longer an option. We now needed a couple of bedrooms and it would be nice to have a kitchen/kitchenette as well. On one leg of our... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129108708996 Sun, 8 Feb 2004 19:39:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129108708996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120238345860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - There are certain things that I have bought that I have been very happy with but have had limited use (ie., my 800 fill -20F sleeping bag). And then there are things that I have bought that I have used a lot and still am very satisfied. That would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120238345860 Sun, 30 Nov 2003 01:38:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120238345860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120008838788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - For $7 or $8 I never thought I would get something that so pleased me and would last for so long. I originally had the old Nalgene opaque plastic (HDPE- I think polyethylene) bottles. The result was that I would sometimes get some unpleasant... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120008838788 Thu, 27 Nov 2003 16:04:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120008838788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_119942712964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I admit it. I am a fan of Mountain Hardwear gear. I like Arcteryx, Marmot, Sierra Designs, and Patagonia. Each manufacturer has its strengths and weaknesses, but I like Mountain Hardwear for its hard core outdoor gear. I used to be a fan of the North... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~119942712964 Wed, 26 Nov 2003 22:43:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_119942712964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_119937011332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I used to live in the Midwest and sometimes the cold winter wind just sucks the life out of you. However, I didn't buy the SubZero SL jacket for this reason. The main reason was that I was going to be camping in altitude for a week (the highest camp at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~119937011332 Wed, 26 Nov 2003 21:46:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_119937011332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_119934652036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I keep buying more and more peripherals for my iPod. I have a 30GB iPod and Apple states that the battery should last 8 hours on a full charge. I am rather dubious about this claim. It may last 8 hours if you don't go through different menus and skip... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~119934652036 Wed, 26 Nov 2003 21:30:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_119934652036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_118151089796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - Update: I got a couple of letters from Apple regarding the settlement of the class-action lawsuit brought against Apple. It seems like the batteries in the iPods are junk, which I discovered, only lasting a few hours instead of the 12 that was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~118151089796 Mon, 10 Nov 2003 07:38:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_118151089796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_117374750340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I've never flown EVA before. In the past, when I have taken transpacific flights, I've taken Northwest (because I am held captive by their frequent flier program) or China Airline. I'm not terribly wealthy or work for company that requires me to tra... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~117374750340 Sun, 2 Nov 2003 19:50:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_117374750340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_117369769604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I guess I am a backpack junkie. Just ask my wife and she'll roll her eyes and point to the garage. I was looking for a medium-sized backpack that would serve multiple purposes. I wanted something more in line for traveling and going around town than a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~117369769604 Sun, 2 Nov 2003 18:38:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_117369769604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_117206519428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I saw this movie on a transpacific flight by accident. I was flipping around various movie channels when I came to "Bollywood/Hollywood". I have seen one or two Indian movies before and Indian music videos. Trying to deconstruct them, especially th... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~117206519428 Fri, 31 Oct 2003 17:21:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_117206519428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_116241436292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I bought my SyncMaster 570V TFT about 2 years ago. I got it at a pretty nice price at the time ($350). I know that you can get larger LCD monitors for that price now, but they are usually no-name brands. I was thrilled with it. I am not really a high-... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~116241436292 Wed, 22 Oct 2003 07:57:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_116241436292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115328519812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - I had a Fellowes cross-cut shredder that I bought at Office Max for about a year and a half. It worked pretty well for a while and then, it started to have problems. The shredded strips would get jammed up and eventually the motor burned out. So I bo... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~115328519812 Mon, 13 Oct 2003 06:26:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_115328519812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115327471236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xraydude888 - My wife bought me a 30GB iPod for my birthday a few weeks ago. It was a very thoughtful gift. I mainly use the iPod as a commuter tool. I have an cassette tape adapter and I use it as a jukebox to listen to my favorite music while I commute. Since I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~115327471236 Mon, 13 Oct 2003 05:21:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_115327471236?linkin_id=8003929
