Amazing Little Powerhouse

Tue, 1 Aug 2006 18:09:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - Simply put, the Apple PowerBook G4 running at 1.5ghz is an amazing laptop! It comes bundled with iLife and all the tools you need to make DVDs (superdrive model), slidshows and more! At 12.1 inches, the screen may seem too small, but the resolution...

Great Studio Album But Where Are the Fans?

Tue, 1 Aug 2006 17:56:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - Plans is Seattle’s Death Cab For Cutie’s fifth full length album and their first on a major label. . . and it shows. It’s very safe and very clean sounding. The recording quality and glossiness of the cd is apparent, but it’s seemingly at the cost of...

Noob to the Art World

Tue, 1 Aug 2006 17:50:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - Reviewer’s note: The music on this soundtrack was composed for the film Drawing Restraint 9. It was meant to go hand-in-hand with the images presented on screen. As this reviewer has yet to see said film, the opinion of the soundtrack is solely based...

Practical Option

Fri, 18 Oct 2002 02:58:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - I bought this at K-mart on sale for $50. I really needed something less powerful than 12 amps, but there simply is no option at the stores anymore. . . everything is 12 amps! If I had bought a used vacuum, I'd have spent maybe $30-40 and have something...

ROCK SOLID MAC

Fri, 18 Oct 2002 02:38:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - I bought the 700mhz eMac from CompUSA after I spent about a day playing with the display unit. I liked the iMacs and the other G4's but the eMac just made more sense. Practical, compact and easy to use.

I found it a 100x easier to install...

InterAct Zip 100 Shark Drive for PS2: PROBABLY NOT WHAT YOU WANTED

Tue, 21 May 2002 12:59:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - There are three main caveats to the Interact "Gameshark" Sharkdrive for the Sony Playstation 2.

1. You must boot up your PS2 with the Memory Manager Software every time you plan to use an Interact Memory Card or the Sharkdrive. The Sharkdrive...

Unlimited Storage Comes with Strings Attached

Mon, 15 Apr 2002 12:54:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - This item was a very inexpensive deal: 16 mb of RAM for less than $30!! Who could resist?

When I got home and read the instructions, I was sort of disappointed with the fact that the user must boot up the Memory Manager mini-disc before each...

A Manly Gate Mamas Don't Like

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 17:52:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - I bought 2 of these at K-mart for an acceptable $10.00 apiece. They work. No complaints.

To new parents, it offers a great workout when you jump over the gates at least 50 times a day.

I'm a father so function always beats out...

2x Audio Burner for Mac

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 15:44:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - I bought the Iomega 6X/4X/4X ReWritable USB External Zip Drive as a Christmas present for my wife. It was going to be a clean and easy way for her to compile tons of scanned images of old magazine ads and lots of swing music. For the most part, it's...

CLASSIC LOW BI-POLARISM

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 14:20:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - This has got to be the best EP from the Duluth, MN trio of Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker and Zac Sally.

The title track, "Transmission" by Joy Division, is re-invented into slowed-down dirge juxtaposed between a death march and a defiancy. Sparhawk's...

The Ocean is a wonderful place to be

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 16:15:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - There was no mistake in releasing "Over the Ocean" as a single. This song is by far one of the most beautiful songs to come out from the Duluth, Minnesota trio.

Taken from the "Curtain Hits the Cast" cd, "Ocean" is a multi-personality song.

THIS MATH IS EASY

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 15:54:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - I was one of the lucky people in 1995 to have the members of low: alan, mimi and zak, sign the J-card of this cd. Now that I think about it, that was the only thing missing from that jewel case. It made it complete because listening to the tracks, you...

Don't Make'em Like This Anymore

Mon, 29 Jan 2001 18:53:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - My family buys Chevys. NO, not Chevrolets. They buy Chevys. It's a clear-cut distinction in the attitude we take to our form of conveyance.

In late 1992, my father bought my mother this huge, lumbering 92 Caprice Classic for her birthday for...

FUNNY SHOWS/BAAAD MOVIES

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 13:53:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - The thing that surprises me the most about Comedy Central is the lack of really funny movies. For Pete's sake, they air movies like "Love Potion #9", "The Money Pit", "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Porky's". These...

CULMINATION OF BRILLIANCE

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 12:29:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brsc - Words cannot describe the intimacy frontman Mark Kozelek creates between him and his listeners. There has not been a musical group so enduring in its artistic recordings in a long time. Kozelek has been the reason why.

Admitted into drug rehab at...
