Verizon Mobile Phone Service in Pittsburgh: Sign the shortest contract that you can

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:22:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I switched to Verizon from ATT because at the time Verizon had better coverage and they didn't make me pay for roaming in my home area as ATT routinely did. Plus, I got a small flip phone from Verizon (Samsung SCH A530) with a color screen which I could...

great pictures, but hard to get a grip on

Fri, 13 Aug 2004 11:47:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I bought this camera because I was advised to do so by my cousin. I subsequently took it to FL on vacation and I was very impressed by the clarity and sharpness of the LCD screen. It was much better than that of the Casio Exilim, which was my camera...

Not the best on the market and a bit overpriced

Fri, 9 Jul 2004 12:24:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I bought this camera to use on a trip, before my real camera a Pentax Optio S4i arrived. The controls are pretty intuative to figure out and they are all compactly packed as functions into 5 buttons. The camera itself is relatively small, fitting into...

Motorola V60: Pass this one up

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 02:35:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I bought the v60i version of this phone because I was curious as to how it compares to my old Nokia 8260. Both phones were serviced by AT&T. I've had it for less than a week before I realized that my Nokia was better. I made my decision based on the...

a bang for the buck

Sat, 19 Aug 2000 16:27:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I originally bought this calculator for my 8th grade algebra class and I've been using it since then both in school and out. It's a very durable calculator, (I've dropped it countless times and it never broke once.) The screen cover also helps because...

it met and exceeded my exoectations

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 11:40:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I love this book because all of the characters, including minor ones like Orlick, are at least 2-D and the major ones like Pip and Miss Havisham and even Joe are 3-D and it's impossible to put them all in separate boxes in your mind while you're reading...

No snoring - this is real

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 11:25:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - This is a touching story of a teenage girl who "got into trouble". The good thing about this book is that it is not merely statistics from a medical book which tell you what will happen to you if you do heroin vs. pot or crack - it has a human...

Not worth the time - skim through

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 11:12:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I read this book as part of my 11th grade European Lit. English class and I didn't like it much. First, purely semantically, I did not understand what it was doing in that course anyway alongside Dickens and Shakespeare for I could hardly call it...

A must see for all

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 13:05:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - As a person whose great-grandparents were murdered in Babi Yar (Kiev) and whose grandfather fought for the Red Army from day one to Berlin this film has all the more meaning to me. On one hand, it was very hard for me to watch because it was very...

AOL Instant Messenger: The new version is better

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:41:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - Possibly is only good thing from AOL, certainly the only thing that I use from my AOL account, is AIM. One of the differences between an independently running AIM and the messaging service that comes with AOL software is that in the former you can send...

Hotmail: Really Hot free email

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:31:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I've heard complaints about Hotmail's tendency to allow spam mail to be delivered to its clients, but I've never found one unwanted piece of email in my personal inbox. In fact, I've had worse problems in term of junk mail with AOL which I pay $20/month...

good for very little

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:19:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - This phone came for free with a plan that I bought from AT&T. Overall, it's been a rather disappointing experience because the problems that occur in regular phones are magnified with this particular one. The ringing options are either too soft to...

MediaRing Talk'99: Ring! Ring! Your call cannot go through

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 14:19:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I tried using Media Ring 99 in order to keep in touch with my friends from Europe, but now that I've had all these problems with it I think that it's cheaper for me to just call them using a regular phone and the international rates that my phone company...

Freedrive.com: Fun on a free drive (but not much more)

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 13:41:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I signed up back when you could only store 25MB on Freedrive and back then it worked once you were connected but it was hard to get connected because the server was busy most of the time. Now, the server isn't busy anymore but instead you often lose...

Virtually worthless

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 17:52:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - When I was 12 or 13 I subscribed to this magazine, now I can't imagine being caught dead with it. It's the most shallow and hypocritical magazine ever published, that I'm aware of. On one side, they claim to talk about "serious" topics such...

ok if you're easily pleased

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 15:19:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I got this car as a hand me down when I started driving recently. As a '93 DX model don't expect any of the modern "marvels" such as air bags, automatic anything - just the bare necessities. Because its engine is not powerful at all it has...

The best book I read in high school

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 16:43:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - Fitzgerald does a phenomenal job in making Jay Gatsby a round character. On the one side, Gatsby can be seen struggling for the love of the beautiful and rich Daisy Buchannan - a love that was never meant to be because Gatsby was too good for Daisy, but...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: A good buy

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:01:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - Originally I bought this laptop because I had to work on vacation and it was light to carry around and had other appealing characteristics, such as; a 15' active matrix display, long stand-by time (about 3 hours), and decent speed (433 Mhz I bought this...

Never forget

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:12:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - This book is very hard for me to review, but after reading some of the negative reviews on this site I feel as though I need to set the record straight and point out some of the book's brilliance.

Yes, this book is biographical in some sense, but...

An affair with the imagination

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 12:46:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I must admit that this movie is not heavy on plot, in fact the plot is rather predictable. Nor is it entirely realistic, but then most movies aren't and that's what makes this movie intriguing. Personally, I saw it because Pierce Brosnan's in it and I...

AOL Internet Mail: You've got a headache!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 00:15:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - AOL internet mail is no better than AOL itself in terms of disconnecting at the most opportune moments. The problem with AOLIM (IM = Internet Mail) is very basic - it's amazing how AOL can screw up in places where one would think there's very little...

Take your pick - it's virtually all there

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:58:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I got this phone as a present and I don't pay for it, so really I can't complain - but....

There are a few things which need improvement on this phone. Most of the rings are not only annoying, but they also, and more importantly, can't be heard...

A good investment

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 23:01:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I bought this CD player to replace my old one which was the simplest of the simple. I was looking for anti-shock that actually affects the playback of the CD - the earlier ones (5, 10 seconds did not do much in my opinion.) This one has 40 second...

Mostly a waste of time unless you're bored

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 12:35:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I read this book on a plane after a very exhausting week and I have to admit that it was a very relaxing experience in terms of reading merely to take up time. Overall, the book's twists and turns were quite predictable except for the part where you...

Full Speed Ahead (Most of the time.)

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 20:36:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MissSanity - I saw this movie because I was a die-hard Tom Cruise fan and I wanted to see all his movies, so back then I was a very biased source of information about this movie. Now, I'm rather indifferent to most Hollywood actors and after hearing some of my...
