An Extension of my Ego

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 01:39:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe -
First,
I'm going to assume that you know a bit about computers; I'm not going to give you a primer on what "Centrino" is all about, what "Active matrix" screens are, or the relative merits of the various operating systems...

Great unit, not as portable as you might think.

Mon, 16 May 2005 13:55:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - Considering it comes with the equivalent of both a full house and car kit along with the receiver, and even three interchangeable colored skins (black, chrome and metallic blue), this is the most affordable plug-and-play Sirius kit available.This unit...

The Consumptive Individual's Review of Gil's All Fright Diner

Mon, 16 May 2005 13:44:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - This Book is by A. Lee Martinez, of whom I know nothing. I had never heard of this person, never read anything else by her/him. I could have made he/she up, like some of my best friends and worst enemies, but I have evidence to the contrary in the...

Surprisingly competent gaming mag!

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 23:17:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I know what you're thinking. Well, maybe I don't. You might be thinking about olives. I never would've guessed you were thinking about olives. Congratulations on your originality of thought! But, if I do know what you're thinking,...

Tetris Attack, Pokemon style.

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 21:13:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - Ah, good 'ol Tetris attack. In Japan it had a different name. But in America, it was decided that the consumer would be more likely to purchase a puzzle title if it somehow included the name Tetris in it. Unfortunate, because while Tetris attack had some...

Clatterin' Chaotic Psychotic Garden!

Fri, 28 Dec 2001 01:39:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - First, the bad. And the long-winded. And, quite possibly, the incessantly boring:

I'm one of those weird people who have a constant musical sound-track running through their mind. Marching beats, snatches of popular song, classical...

Goodbye, sweet Baldwin.

Sun, 8 Jul 2001 12:32:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - There is considerable lead-up to the bread-and-butter review. You may wish to skip to "The Review" if you are in a hurry.

The Baby

I am now a father. Since June 8th, 2001. It is a wonderful thing, to be sure, and I delight in my daughter...

Spare your servers. Buy a SNAP!

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 10:00:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I was, at first, quite skeptical of the advisability of storing any important data on a SNAP server. The unit didn't have a traditional operating system like Novell or Windows on it. It had only one network card, making bandwidth a possible issue, even...

Palm m100 Personal Organizer: M100- Palm Lite

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 10:37:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I have been an avid Palm user for three years now. The PalmIII replaced a monstrous, and mostly ineffective, three-ring binder's place in my life, and I am grateful for that.

And, as time went by, I upgraded my unit twice....both times due to...

Pretty good, but stuck in between...

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 11:00:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I never liked the LaserJet 5p or 6p, which are the 2100's closest ancestors. It was hard to fix paper jams in the darn things, and the unit itself, with no display other than a few blinking LEDs, seemed less advanced than the older, slower 4p, which had...

Yet another printer that will never die....

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 10:17:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - Let me start by saying that the picture EPinions has of this printer is misleading. The pic matches the 4050 and 4050N, but not the 4050T or 4050TN. The 4050TN has an extra paper bin which is not show above.

I must also begin by stating that my...

Sega Nomad: Have Sega, will travel.

Sat, 21 Oct 2000 12:57:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - When the Nomad was originally released, I thought it was an over-priced and, frankly, uncalled for addition to Sega's line-up.

Sticker price alone kept most gamers from seriously considering this unit unless they were well-heeled or had access...

Colecovision: The Connecticut Leather Company and me.

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 03:10:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - In 1982 Coleco, the Connecticut Leather Company, released my favorite classic game console of all time, the Colecovision.

I was ten years old, and my family had owned an Atari 2600 for two years. While I still enjoyed the 2600's big blocky graphics,...

The Sport Utility Vehicle of laptops!

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 23:06:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - Not so long ago, I bought my first laptop. It was a second-hand TwinHead laptop, and I had purchased it because I had finally tired of toting the dozen or so ZipDisks and my glacially slow, printer-port driven Zip drive all over town.

I proceeded to...

Atari Lynx: A footnote ten years ahead of its time.

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 01:50:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - A quick scan of the spec sheet on the Lynx and you should come away thinking that this unit could easily have been released a few years ago and kicked some butt.

Scaling, rotation, 16 bit processor, vertical OR horizontal play, color screen....and...

Nintendo Super NES: Buy it now that its cheap, for the games you might've missed

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 01:07:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - Before the 32bit revolution in gaming, the Genesis and SNES were the only two games in town. I owned a Genesis and, as I was a teenager at the time, I couldn't justify buying a second game system when there were only a handful of games I wanted on it. So...

Sega Saturn: Not my favorite platform, but easily my favorite games.

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 00:38:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - The last game I purchased for my Sega Saturn was the wondrous RPG, Panzer Dragoon Saga Azel. While I own a Playstation and enjoy playing its games, the majority of my favorites are still on my dusty little Saturn.

Games like Dark Savior, Panzer...

A pianist's portable.

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 23:32:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I'm sorry for the lengthy intro, and if you wish to skip it, be my guest. The true review is announced in bold type below. Before my review, I must explain that I do not own an FP9. I own a 1955 Baldwin Accrosonic (very Bauhaus-esque) and...

The Golf killer....

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 22:39:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - I have, admittedly, been a Ford driver since I was 18 ten years ago. At first I drove crappy Escorts and Tempos because that was all I could afford. But then I had a Mystique followed by a 99' Cougar--the little sporty one.

While I enjoyed driving...

Novell Netware: Still the one....

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 21:52:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - While Novell has, time and time again, proven that it is incapable of marketing it's way out of a wet paper bag with a pocket knife, it has also proven time and time again that it is capable of engineering the best Networking software money can buy.

The Verio diaries...

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 13:04:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - This is the final update to this review. It is now complete and finalized. My life is now blissfully Verio free, and I hope never to deal with them again. Updates are throughout the peice, so if you were following this story at all, you will probably...
