Computer Geeks Discount Outlet Online Store: God, What a Bunch of Geeks....

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 12:55:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I couldn't believe it. I check out the site by accident - y'know, plugging in addresses like http://www.doesthissiteexist.com/ to see if they're real - and loved it from the moment I laid eyes on it.

This was early in 2000, I believe. It...

Jobsonline: Flat-out: JobsOnline SUCKS

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 22:53:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I never use such candid, straight-out titles for anything.... but this time there is no other way to convey my disgust with a product or service. Never have I encountered any service who uses such unethical business practices...

Pete and I Went Sledding This Winter!

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 01:08:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I couldn't believe it. It was December of 2000, snowing in Pennsylvania, and cold as heck. That's all absolutely normal.... but me drinking something with raspberry and enjoying it? Now that's something abnormal. I was with my...

S.O.S. - Sovereign Out of Service

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 20:10:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - Thank goodness for places like Epinions, where you can not only rave or flame a service, but you may also gripe about the way things have gone over time with that service.

Sovereign Bank was probably one of my top three favorites ever,...

DomainDiscover: Simple Registration, but Simple Options, Too

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 16:00:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

I registered my name, Parasane.com, for $17.00 per year through DomainDiscover's alias, BuyDomains. While I would love to give this company a perfect rating, they are still an up-and-coming business, and it shows.

123greetings.com: One Hundred Twenty-Three Greetings?

Fri, 19 May 2000 15:20:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

Hey, I have to say that 123 Greetings (http://www.123greetings.com) is one of the best electronic greeting card sites on the entire WorldWide Web. Of course, if it were listed, I would suggest RATS2U (http://www.rats2u.com), but since it is...

Firetalk: Burn It And Be Done

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 04:45:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I'm sorry to be the thorn in everyone's side here today, but this needs to be addressed. I'll make it short, though bitter:

FireTalk....

Perhaps I was just turned off when I used it, but here are the problems I ran into when using...

Off the Beaten Path: Enjoy the REAL New Jersey

Mon, 27 Mar 2000 04:03:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I've been reading articles online, in magazines, and more saying how great the New Jersey and Pennsylvania State Parks are, and I have yet to find anything that beats the vacations I take to nowhere.

Nowhere the maps know about, anyway.

Lackawanna State Park - Should More People Know About This?

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 05:51:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

If you are at all familiar with northeastern Pennsylvania and Interstate 81, you may have passed by the exit for Lackawanna State Park. Have you ever stopped to see it, though?

I was surprised to find how many people have never even...

Only a vacation? Bah! I live here

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 05:07:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

Did you ever notice that throughout the history of the modern media, cracks have been made against New Jersey? Think of Ghostbusters, for example (not the movie, but the cartoon - I know.... I'm out there), where there was a line that said,...

Xitami: Easier to Use Than A Dirty Sponge

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 17:37:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - Well, the title itself says it, because Xitami is quite possibly the easiest free webserver on the market. To run its basic functions, you need only point, click, unzip, install, and execute. Those five steps will integrate you with the entire world on a...

AOL Instant Messenger: New Release: AIM Beta v 3.5

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 19:53:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - America Online (or AOHell, as I call it - see my review on that), has just released their newest beta test program (AIM95 Beta v 3.5) as of 1 March, 2000. This release is not an extravagant one, nor can I claim that it has a host of exciting features. I...

Tripod: Try 'Pods

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:10:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - Who knew that when I signed up for Tripod's "Pod" service several years ago that it would become a professional-style web host? When I started my account, Tripod already had 3 megabytes of disk space per user, which was three times as much as...

AdsOff!: If Only TV Were This Easy!

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 03:14:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - Ever log onto a website - personal or other - to explore the contents, only to be pestered by advertisements and popups for 20 minutes? Have you ever been trapped in the endless cycle of popup windows that jump to the forefront when you try to back out...

iName E-mail: iAm Not Too Amused

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 01:38:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - Sure, iName (powered by MAIL.COM) has the right idea, offering dozens of choice domain names to their clients, but there is still something lacking. iName offers free web-based e-mail domain names such as DOCTOR.COM, LAWYER.COM, RESCUETEAM.COM, and...

RealPlayer: RealProgress In New Version

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 16:04:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - With many domains now integrating the technology of streaming media into their sites, the RealPlayer has become more than an option - it's becoming a necessity. From movie previews to international radio stations to military recruitment information; the...

Hasta la Vista, Free Internet

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 15:18:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

Sure, I've used it. Up until recently, it was my sole form of internet access from college. The concept of corporate-sponsored internet access is a novel one - allowing poor people like me to be able to access web-based e-mail, research,...

Go!Zilla: Tokyo's Not In Trouble, But Low Speeds Are

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 03:31:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad - I was just coming out of a bad relationship with an old friend of mine. You may know this friend, named GetRight. Sure, things seemed to be going really well at first, but after a while I began to realize that I was being cheated on! I knew I had...

Dialpad: Reach Out and Virtually Touch Someone

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 03:37:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

The internet has not only brought us entertainment, education, information, and salutations.... it is now bringing us Domestic Long Distance Calls that are far cheaper than those 10-10 numbers.

DialPad.com is one of a...

CallWave has just been released, folks, and I suggest that you strongly consider downloading it as soon as you finish reading this review. A close friend of mine and I have been testing all kinds of software applications similar to this,...

Irish Bliss

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author The_triad -

Harp Ale is a little-known beer brewed in Dublin, Ireland, and shipped to the United States via a Connecticut hub. It is relatively expensive, as I well know ($32.50 per case at last purchase - Pennsylvania), but my taste buds offer to...
