No problems at all in Boston

Sat, 14 Dec 2002 21:27:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I must say, i have not had any problems with my Verizon DSL setup here in Boston. Setup was fairly fast (2 weeks or so) and everything worked right out of the box. I chose DSL because cable broadband was not available in my building. I definitely would...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - MAJOR PLOT DETAILS REVEALED! SPOILERS!!!

I am a big trek fan and of course was excited that a new star trek movie was coming out. I was disappointed with the prior star trek movie (Insurrection) but was expecting a bad movie because it was an...

Awesome DVD player for $170

Sun, 24 Feb 2002 23:19:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I originally had a Daewoo 3000 DVD player that I bought on Amazon.com for $95. After seeing some negative reviews and noting that the A/V sync was messed up and the zoom function didn't work quite so well, i decided to return it.

Then my Dad...

crystal clear monitor!

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 23:50:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I love my sony cpd 200es. I originally needed a monitor when my old 15" panasonic junk monitor developed a 2 inch blue perimeter on the screen. Thinking back to the Sony trinitron Television my parents bought in the 70's, which had wood grain panel on...

fantastic printer, even better considering I bought it for $20

Fri, 15 Jun 2001 18:09:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - When I switched to windows2000, my aging NEC silentwriter 660 printer, which my brother bought in the olden days of windows 3.1, didn't work with win2k. As it was on its last leg anyway, producing strange hissing and scratching sounds, not feeding the...

the best mouse I have ever had

Sun, 20 May 2001 11:27:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - In short, i love this mouse. easy to install and very precise. I never have to clean it either. Optical is definitely the way to go!

one thing I especially like about this mouse is the thumb and pinky buttons, which I use as my "back" and...

Vindigo: download this immediately

Sun, 20 May 2001 11:19:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I have been using vindigo for some time now. I live in Boston, so I use it mainly for the zagat guide, which I find better than the zagat guide in book form. See, i put in my address and it figures out all the restaurants closest to me and even gives me...

Opera: opera - excellent alternative

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 22:46:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I originally was interested in using a browser that would run a microsecond faster on my rather passe pentium 266 with a cable modem. I felt that IE5 took just a tad too long to load up even with a blank page. then i checked out alternative browsers. I...

Hotmail: endless spam

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 00:51:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - i originally signed up for hotmail mainly because it allowed me to access my pop mail when I'm away from my PC. I found the pop mail function to be quite functional and it served me when i was away from home. it's also nice that it links with outlook...

Good product

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 15:44:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I bought the tanita body fat scale on a whim. I'm not fat by any means, and I was just curious what my body fat was. I knew by reading the product literature that it's not necessarily accurate down to the individual fat cell, but it generally gives you a...

Zone Alarm: zone alarm is excellent

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 15:31:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I first started to contemplate the idea of a firewall when I got a cable modem since it is on 24/7. I had never really heard of computers getting hacked, so I never felt a dire need to go out and plunk down $50 on a firewall program. Then I heard abou...

Net Drive: netdrive - amazing

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 15:17:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - Netdrive is one of the better online storage media that I know of. I was originally drawn to it because of the generous storage space they give you (100MB baseline, 150MB if you agree to seeing extra ads). Originally i tried I-drive but found it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I first started needing portable fuel when I start long distance biking. At first, I started with power bars because of name recognition. Big mistake. Read my epinion on power bars -

adequate fuel - if you dont' mind the taste of leather

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 14:59:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - Let me tell you, these things are hard to eat and just don't taste very good. If you are unfortunate enough to have a lot of these things hanging around like I do (I foolishly bought about 30 of them when they were on sale, thinking I would eat them),...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Boston: excellent in boston overall

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:30:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I opted for sprint because i heard it is wired very well in the northeast. I had it briefly in chicago, where the signal was, frankly, quite poor. Since I've been in Boston I've been immensely satisfied with sprint PCS almost to the point where I was...

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:13:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I originally opened an etrade bank account as a transition account. See, I was planning to move from Chicago to Boston and to smooth the transition I decided to open an etrade account. That way, i'd have access to local banking the second I set foot in...

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:00:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I bought this camera because I thought I was so behind the times and needed to have a digital camera to be cool. Anyhow, I had 2 friends with Kodak cameras. one had the 290, and another had the 280. Both friends raved about their respective cameras. I...

Sun, 8 Oct 2000 23:43:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - I love my cannondale R600 triple. it is light, speedy, and the components are excellent. I was sold by the aluminum frame and the excellent reputation of cannondale. Then I test rode the bike and I loved it. I have only owned it for a year, but I have...

Service in Boston is pretty good

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author avneesh - When I first moved to boston, my only choice was RCN for broadband. luckily, it was tested by a friend who lives down the block, who has had it for years in Boston. I found the hookup to be painless, as they connected my phone, TV and cable modem at the...
