rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - I've always loathed portable phones. Be they cellular, PCS, analog, digital, whatever, I don't like 'em. But I had to get one, we had just moved apartments in Manhattan and weren't getting a land line for weeks.

I picked the QCP-1960 almost as...

Leaves me contented

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - Yeah, yeah, yeah, the knee-jerk criticism is "But who watches Brill's?" And that's a valid point. But until we have a special "spot the conflict of interest" section of Epinions to rate the media, Brill's can effectively act as a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - Truly spectacular. There are certainly moments when this IMAX film doesn't use the large-format print to its full potential, but if you pay attention to the narrative, you'll be so engrossed you won't notice.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - I don't know how recent the addition is, but I've noticed in the past few weeks that increasing numbers of UPS trucks have drop slots on the side for people to put delivery envelopes directly into the truck.

My first reaction was to flash back...

The best free ISP

Thu, 28 Oct 1999 01:27:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - Compared to other free ISP's (NetZero probably being the best known of them) AltaVista's free access (powered by 1st up) has several advantages that make it stand out from the mostly-identical pack.

The biggest benefit, in my epinion? The...

A classic. Its time has come.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anildash - Not a bad song in the bunch. Pretty high praise for an album that was released as two 12" records back in 1982.
