'Tis no ordinary mouse..

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 12:00:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - Mention the hockey puck apple mouse to any seasoned computer user and you'll most likely hear groans. No one can debate that as an efficient, ergonomic mouse, the Apple USB "hockey puck" mouse did not cut it. However, now there's a reason to...

Finer Life Pokemon: My kid brother would like it...

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 13:46:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - What is this you ask? Is it a game? No. Rather, it is a list of all 151 pokemon. This includes their moves, their abilities and their strengths and weaknesses. Included also is the equivalent Japanese counterpart.

So is it worth it?...

Adobe PressReady: Better print quality and more..

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 18:48:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - Adobe PressReady is among the slew of lesser known Adobe produts. It is no where near as famous or as widespread as Illustrator, Photoshop or Pagemaker. However, just because it is a "lesser" Adobe product does not mean it is not...

A different look..

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 00:51:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - Right off I'll say this: I liked Callista. Call me what you want - a romantic, a mushy sort of person, someone who feels sorry for Luke , I don't care. Maybe she reminded me of someone I know in real life, maybe she reminded me of one of my friends...

Amazing..

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 12:29:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - David Eddings is not human. No one human can possibly keep churning out an endless series of incredible books. First came the Belgariad series, then its sequel, The Mallorean. Fans wanted more - he gave more. Out came the Elenium and Tamuli. Now...

Out comes another masterpiece..

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 12:18:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - One of my favorite authors of fantasy is David Eddings. His writing style brings his characters to life. Magician's Gambit is no exception. It is the third book of The Belgariad. The first two were Pawn of Prophecy and Queen of Sorcery.

A Classic Tale of a Young Wizard Growing Up

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 17:03:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - A Wizard of Earthsea was probably the first "serious" fantasy book that I have ever read (followed promptly by Tolkien's Lord of the Ring). That was close to 9 years ago. Now, when I still periodicaly reread it, I can still feel the old...

Just a calculator? Or maybe more..

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 11:36:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - Think about this. Your math teacher is droning on about senseless math in front of one. It's all you can do to stay awake (and not particularly succeeding). What should you do? Well, you can use the calculator for one thing!

The Texas...

Does it work?

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 17:54:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - You bet! Retrospect makes the hassles and pains of backing up vanish. The program is easy to use and easy to manage, with readily available help if the user is stuck.

Retrospect is compatable with both Appletalk and TCP/IP (Windows)...

All for one..

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 17:24:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - And one for all! With that cry, I would like to introduce you to a wonderful book by the name of Five Hundred Years After. It is the second book of a three part series by Steven Brust (the first is the Phoenix Guards).

Those of you who have...

Kyle's Quest: Customizable RPG sytem for the palm! Wow...

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:10:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - When I first saw Kyle's Quest at palmgear, I was not impressed. The graphics were mediocre, while the game play looked to be average at best. However, once I found out that you could design custom levels for it, I was hooked. I found myself playing...

Escape Velocity Override: EV Override - A game worth your time?

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 12:19:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - The game is amazing! Combining elements of strategy, financial know-how, space shoot-em-ups and exploration, the game has it all.

In the beginning of the game, you start off as a lone pilot, with a pretty crappy semi-obsolete shuttle. As you...

CSpotRun: Limited, But Great For Its Purpose

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 23:42:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - When I first laid eyes upon CSpotRun, I thought to myself, "Free? Wow..." Ever since then, I have consistently used CSpotRun to read any docs that I need to read.

So, what does it do? Well, its a doc reader. What that means is...

SimCity: SimCity - Brings Back Memories

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 23:33:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - When I first saw that SimCity was available for the Palm, my first instinct was to go, "Phpppppt! No way!" Never did I imagine that a favorite game of yester-year would be available for the Palm.

SimCity is a accurate translation...

Palm V or Vx?

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 23:22:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - When I first looked into buying a Palm device, I was split between a V and a Vx. At first glance, they don't seem that much different. However, the real changes are inside the sleek aluminum casing.

The Vx has a standard 8MB of memory, while...

Amazing? You bet.

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 10:39:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - What can I say? That the book is a great read, a jewel among jewels? Robert Jordan has done it again and again. And in this first book to the Wheel of Times series, you can witness how it all started.

The first book of an incredible series,...

Useful? Only for some.

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 09:36:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Drenin - At first sight, the Apple iBook is a piece to behold. However, actually using the laptop is another matter. The iBook is somewhat underpowered, with only 32MB of default installed RAM. The maximum screen resolution is okay for most people, although it...
