I should start by saying that I'm not [yet?] an avid camper or hiker, and as such I'm not a typical user of this pack. Rather, I'm a college student who tends to travel from time to time, and I've found this pack invaluable for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - Introduction

Just a few months ago, I settled down and started using a Plextor 8x4x32, which I found quite fast and enjoyable to use, and gave a satisfactory opinion of. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up purchasing...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - Intoruction: I'm going to sing the same praise as everyone else

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - Introduction

The family I'm staying with has been looking for a new TV, approximately in the 36" range, to put in their den. So, having little to do and wanting an exciting adventure for a Saturday morning, we decided to go on a caravan to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - Introduction

I think I've finally reached the end of my little palm adventure for the moment. To explain, I'll have to give a little background. I started with my purchase of the Handspring Visor Deluxe Graphite, which from reading some...

Gee, that's a little faster than 2x.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - A plextor, but it's not IDE!

I've been a big Plextor fan from the start, every time I've had a chance to use one, it's been a pleasant experience, but being hindered by the fact that they were SCSI-only for the longest time, I had little...

Something delightfully different.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up this album. I've been acquiring Miles Davis albums for a while, and wasn't sure what to expect with Sketches of Spain. In a word, perhaps mellow best describes the album, but I don't think that would...

Wasn't sure what to expect, but pleasantly surprised.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - I had to read this novel for my British literature class, which I was taking mostly to satisfy a cultural studies requirement. I suppose I could have grabbed something easier than reading 8 novels, but all things considered, I don't think I could stand...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - I'm a Computer Science major.

I suppose that makes me qualified to write my opinion of that. Perhaps not though.

I love computers, and I've enjoyed computer science, but the University of Illinois CS department has to be one of the...

What an amazing introduction to jazz

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 18:22:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - I've enjoyed playing jazz for quite a while, and when I put my saxophone away after high school, I felt myself longing once again to hear that old familiar jazz beat. I'd heard of many jazz artists in my time, but lacked the knowledge of their music...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author atubbs - Originally, I was in the market to replace my aging Panasonic portable which had suffered far too many mishandlings in the past. I intended to pair it with much more expensive amplification and headphones, but was under the constraint of keeping the...
