Thu, 23 May 2002 07:21:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kisai - I bought one of these for my sister last Christmas, thinking it was going to be better than using AA batteries.

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 00:18:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kisai - I have used Paint Shop Pro since version 3.0 (16bit) back on Windows 3.1, and I have stuck with it ever since. Back then it was more of a Microsoft paint replacement rather than full-fledged graphics editing software.

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 02:56:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kisai - I've used ICQ since it first came out. Back then it was a simple clean interface. Since AOL got their hands on it, it's become bigger, bulkier and buggier.
