rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ziggy29 - My wife and I stayed at this hotel for three nights in January 2003. We chose it primarily because we wanted to be downtown, if possible, and because the rate we found -- $58.31 per night, to be exact -- was far, far better than anything not named...

So much potential...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ziggy29 - I'd been looking forward to this title for a long time. The Mac platform has needed an updated general aviation simulator for a long, long time. So I was one of the first to run, not walk, to place my order for Fly! II. While I don't consider the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ziggy29 - My wife and I had been shopping around for a frequent flyer program for a while, even though we only fly 2-3 times a year. When we finally defeated inertia and investigated, the Alaska plan stood out to us. It was a highly-rated airline, it is a major...

Wed, 6 Jun 2001 18:19:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ziggy29 - I've never understood the idea behind tipping. I mean, I do it, and I regularly tip around 20% for good service, but really, *why* do we even tip our server at a restaurant at all? How is this worker any different than any other service worker who...

Cingular Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: Strong value for "emergency use only" phone plan

Wed, 6 Jun 2001 17:09:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ziggy29 - If you rarely use the wireless phone but you don't want to go the prepaid route, the $19.99 Home 30 plan is one of the most competitive I've seen. I've seen other plans in the $20 price point, but the others (a) charge more than Cingular's 49 cents per...
