Fri, 6 Jul 2001 16:19:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - The Atkins 'diet' most people think of is not meant to be followed forever, it is a corrective diet. Atkins recommends a maintenance diet which strives to find a balance where you do eat fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and even whole grains! The...

Visor Prism comes close but does not cross the finish line

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 22:30:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - The HandSpring Visor Prism is the most feature filled Palm OS device to date. As such you would expect it to gain my highest marks. However, I feel this device falls just short of the finish line and will need to ripen just a bit more before it lives...

Handspring Visor: Probably the best choice in its class

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 14:24:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - The Visor is the simplest of handspring's line of PDAs. While it may be the simplest it is by no means simple, it can hold its own against any of the Palm OS PDAs. This device rates a strong buy recommendation from myself and the people I have installed...

Palm m100 Personal Organizer: Palm m100: The next best thing to the Palm Vx

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 18:14:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Palm has released it's answer to the visor handheld PDA. The Palm m100 is sleek, light, and inexpensive. It fills the same niche that the visor has targeted. The niche I am referring to is the 'not so technically oriented as to pay over $300...

Interpretation of Italian life gets lost in the translation

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 10:12:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Nobody loves Italy more than I do, but everyone seems to like this book more than I did. While I enjoyed the imagery and historical references I found the book difficult to read with no real story. It read like a 'what I did last summer in 50,000 words...

Anakin: Anakin: There are too many good Palm games to play this one

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 14:09:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - I can not recommend this game unless perhaps you are the curious type and just want to see a game that has none of the elements of a well-written program. I like to rate games on playability, graphics, animation, and interest level. I prefer not to rate...

PocketChess: Chess in your hand: A tough game but hours of fun

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 15:23:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Many years ago I worked with someone who showed me this little black hand held device that stored addresses and events. I thought very little of it as it seemed like all the other PDAs available at the time. That was until one day when he shows me his...

RIM Blackberry Two Way Pager: If the RIM is so great why am I still carrying my old pager?

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 16:21:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Do I really need to be this connected? Is there no where left to hide in this world? I received a RIM blackberry as what was supposed to be a replacement for my “one-way” pager. Well, needless to say, I still carry my one-way in addition to the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Microsoft Word, MS Word, Word 97, Word 95, Word 2000, winword.exe, or simply word has become the standard word processor. It was not always the superior product but has become so by shear force of will on the part of Microsoft. Years ago I would have...

Why you shouldn't be a Day Trader using a discount broker

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 00:14:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - Fidelity is an excellent company to choose for financial services. While they don’t fall into the “discount” category they do justify their higher prices with quality service. If you have read my other reviews you know that I am very cheap, but...

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 22:04:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - I was born in New York and have since moved to Boston. I can’t say I would recommend the Big Apple for the average visitor, however I think everyone should live there at least once in his or her life. The experience of seeing New York has to be tasted...

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 00:16:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ahwilliams - I work in the word of technology, recently for lawyers and brokers. What do these two very different people have in common? The both have lots of money, and both love toys. This is good for me because I love the latter and don’t have so much of the...
