Decent Car at a good price

Sun, 29 Aug 2004 12:00:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - For less than $10,000, the 2002 Ford Focus is a steal. It is a great little car for not a lot of money. It is however, a little car for less than $10,000 - if you are looking for a car with good gas mileage to drive around town with, you can't beat...

You can't go wrong...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The Epson 640U is a great scanner for almost any home user. It produces great scans pretty quickly, and is nicer looking than most of the other boxy-tan scanners on the market.

The specs are pretty standard on this machine - you can scan 8...

Great home machine

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Remember the days of the big bulky scanners that took over your whole desk? Well this scanner is hoping to make those days distant memories.

One of the biggest selling points of this scanner is it's size - it's only around an inch and a half...

For home, a great choice

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Canon is known for it's quality imaging products, and this scanner does not disappoint. The home user will find a lot to like about this little machine!

One of the nicest and most unique features of Canon's scanners is the size - this...

Thu, 18 Jan 2001 23:21:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Epson printers have always excelled at printing photos, and the 980 is no exception to this. At $250, it is an excellent and affordable machine that will give you images you might even want to frame!

To start with, I recommend this printer to...

The Printer with it all!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - If you are a serious printer, you probably were always a little unhappy with what inkjets offered compared to their laser relatives. The speed was always a little behind, their was no infrared capabilities, two-sided printing was a dream. Well, no...

Shutterfly Online Store: User friendly, good quality

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 01:39:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - After trying out eMemories and being less than thrilled, I almost gave up on online photo developers. But shutterfly had a free prints offer that I decided to try out and am glad I did.

Shutterfly has a pretty simple and easy to navigate...

All the bells and whistles...

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 01:46:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Sometimes, when you go to buy a printer you find models that have almost everything you need, but for some reason they all seem to be lacking in one feature, be it the connection, paper handling options, memory, whatever. With the 2250TN, HP has tried...

Hewlett Packard 2250 Inkjet Printer: Speed, Postscript and more!

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 01:28:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The HP 2250 is part of HP's 2200 business-oriented printer line. This line of printers differs in many ways from their better-known Deskjet line, but still offers the same great print quality that HP is known for.

The 2250 is almost identical...

Hewlett Packard 2200 Xi InkJet Printer: Killer speed...nice quality

Sun, 5 Nov 2000 21:10:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The 2200 series is HP's replacement for their under-selling 2000 line of business-oriented printers. I can't explain why these printers never sold as well as their home machines - they offer the same quality at a cost and speed that would make any...

Ememories.com: Not Worth the Effort

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 23:49:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - I was originally intrigued by the idea of ememories and the other online photo places. Free processing and having to pay for only the pictures I wanted sounded like a great deal, plus they would store all my photos for me forever! In theory, this...

Nice for tourists...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The Union Oyster House is famous for being the oldest restaurant in the United States. Which is good, because it certainly wouldn't be famous for it's food!

The Union Oyster House suffers from the same problem most of the famous restaurants...

A fine romance...

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 22:22:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The Library Grill is one of my favorite restaurants for a fancy romantic dinner out. While Boston has plenty of elegant restaurants, their elegance is sometimes intimidating and you get more caught up in the experience of dining and don't get to savor...

There are better choices...

Mon, 31 Jul 2000 17:50:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - This printer from HP is essentially another reincarnation in their average 600 series, this one being essentially the same as the 610 model, the only difference is where you can buy each model, as one is for traditional retail stores like Best Buy and...

A Local Secret...

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 00:42:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Sol Azteca in Brookline is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, and this sister establishment in Newton does it's elder sibling proud. Tucked away down a small alley in Newton Centre, Cafe Sol Azteca offers an almost identical menu to it's Brookline...

Beware the hidden costs...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - For most people, the Okidata printers are less expensive alternatives to HP's dominant laser jets. And while they are less expensive to purchase, you may end up paying more for an Okidata in the long run if you don't do some research before you buy.

Alps MD-5000P Printer: Interesting little machine...

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 18:02:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Alps printers have always fascinated me, mostly because they differ so greatly from all the other printers on the market today. Where leaders like HP and Epson continue to use wet ink as their medium, Alps has taken a different path with a thermal...

WhatsHotNow: Worst Service Now!

Wed, 31 May 2000 23:21:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - So when I heard about What's Hot Now, I thought cool - keep up with the fads, get some points, get some free stuff, no problem. Well, to start with, What's Hot Now should really be called What's Commercial Now. By the time something gets here, it is...

Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Inkjet Printer: Excellent for Photos

Wed, 31 May 2000 23:11:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - I must admit, I have never been a big fan of Epson printers - I always thought the HP's did a better job for the money. But after seeing this machine in action, I may have to change my opinion!

The 1270 is Epson's latest photo printer, which...

HP DeskJet 340 Portable Printer: Your Last Choice...

Wed, 24 May 2000 17:15:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - This is hands-down HP's worst printer, mostly because they have done little to improve print quality or reliability on it in the past 5 years. The market for portable printers is not that great, and HP still sells a lot of these to big companies and mac...

Mid-Priced Beauty!

Wed, 17 May 2000 23:46:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - The HP DeskJet 830/832 is a recently discontinued model in their home inkjet line, and while it didn't offer any innovations in print quality, it certainly was a great printer for the money. The replacement model 840/842 offers almost no change, other...

Best in Brookline

Mon, 1 May 2000 23:05:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - Sol Azteca is my favorite Mexican restaurant not in Cambridge, and is definitely one of my top 3 for the whole Boston area. It provides everything I look for in a Mexican place - good atmosphere, good food, and reasonable prices.

Good, but there are better choices

Mon, 1 May 2000 21:30:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xymox_1 - I love HP products, and was disapppointed with this one when it came out. HP sometimes has trouble competing on the low-end, and when scanners got so cheap and everyone started buying them for $100, HP didn't know what to do. So, in their rush to get a...
