Good Program -- But Not Excellent

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 23:38:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - I upgraded from Easy CD Creator 3 a while ago, and I must confess that I am much more impressed with the new version that I was with that simple program. Creator 3 came with my 4x Sony CD-RW, and it got a basic workout copying data CD's and creating...

Lake Chelan - A Great Place to Relax

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 06:43:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - I've been going to Lake Chelan for as long as I can remember. My family first bought a time share there in the early 80's, and I can remember building snowmen in the winter and trying to learn to water ski in summer. While there aren't a ton of cultural...

Supremely Tactile, as well as Versatile

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 05:18:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - I actually didn't expect as much enjoyment from this mouse when it first arrived with my new Dell desktop. Personally, I think it's funny that I can get such a distinct kick from something as simple as a mouse, but this mouse surprised me enough that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - This is simply a personal story of what happened to me when I tried to install Redhat 6.1 on a computer with a 27GB HD already full of 10GB of Windows 98. As you read, you'll understand why Partition Magic 5.0 is one of the best utilities on the market,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - These are just my impressions of this Preview release. I personally have been waiting for this ‘official’ release of Netscape 6, mostly because I wanted to see how well the new Gecko engine performed against IE. I used to be a rapid Communicator fan...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - I recently got a hold of a basic Handspring, and started comparing to my Palm III that I have been using for roughly a year. I took into account the fact that the Handspring was a newer model than my Palm III, but the experience itself was just amazing...

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 16:26:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - As a lover of all this science-fiction, this book fit extremely well into my collection. Kim Stanley Robinson did a fantastic job researching for this book. The most striking aspect, in my opinion, is that staggering amount of detail that is added. I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - After applying to a dizzying number of colleges in search of the one that would perfectly "suit me," I ended up coming to this small, 1,800 person liberal arts college in Maine. Being from Washington, this was about as far away in the...

Let The Good Times Roll

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 22:21:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DuffMan - After the frats and sororities were kicked out in 1984, things got worse for a time. In fact, according to some old alumni, we're in the Dark Ages even as we speak. Personally, however, I think that the social scene here on campus is great, and I'll...
