Excellent Transition Unit

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 16:40:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - If, like me, you prefer the qualify of LD over tape, you probably are running into the same problem people with large collections of old vinyl records ran into with the coming of CDs. Like CDs vs LPs, DVDs offer great quality and a much more compact...

Ahh - the perfect tap

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 12:02:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - OK I'll admit it. I like sweet beers. Scotch ales, barley wines, even hard ciders are in my opinion far superior to your typical lager. So my first introduction to YBnT was particularly fortuitous. A local tavern had decided to expand beyond the usual...

New BillPay interface fixes last problems

Fri, 10 Mar 2000 13:30:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - I held off writing this review because my feelings about WingSpan were very mixed. We have had few problems with the account compared to other banks we have used and when we did the phone support staff were excellent at resolving them. Unlike CitiBank...

Good Software Bad Management

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 19:03:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - After reviewing a number of on-line banks last year, we decided on CitiBank. We were greatly impressed with the easy of using site and with the helpful nature of the phone support when we ran into questions. Until the third or forth call to get our...

ETRADE: ETrade make that Late Trade

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 18:49:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - We do not use ETrade by choice. The company stock program is administrated through them so we are forced to do so. Under this program we buy and sell company stock quarterly. This is a separate part of the web site (OptionsLink)so there may be some...

Colorstamps.com: Not too late

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 20:51:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - It is true that ColorStamps isn't as much fun as it originally was.

That first month it was almost a game trying to find particular search terms or even categories that had the highest pay outs. There were actually a few $.12 items and a...

Spedia: Funny timings

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 20:25:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - Let's start with a simple example. I recently ran the AllAdvantage and Spedia bars side by side. Fairly straight forward surfing, no mail, no chat or other applications.

AA credited me with 5 times the usage Spedia did. This ratio means that...

Titansearch.com: Demonstrates the need to be early

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 20:07:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - Titan Search is a clear example of why you need to be into these programs early if you are seeking any reasonable income. Too many simply do not think through their long term business plan.

The original $.03x30/day cap with no requirement to...

Bonaire means flexible scheduling

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 19:19:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - As with many operations on the island, SD offers unlimited shore diving with all their dive packages and on Bonaire that is something you just cannot ignore. Filled tanks are left out on the docks 24x7 with an honor system for signing out as needed...

Pegasus Mail: A workhorse with wings

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 18:06:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - I run a number of Email clients. From StarOffice and Netscape to web based systems. I try out just about every new one I come across looking for that perfect combination of form and function.

Yet it is Pegasus Mail that I keep coming back to...

Net2Phone: Adequate for family but not business

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 16:18:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - Like the other network phone systems, Net2Phone suffers from tremendous echo problems. Not to the user but to the other end. This can be reduced by using headsets or the MUTE button but that does impact the overall usability of the system.

High End Indian

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 20:54:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - It has been a few years since I've been back, but I used to travel to SF quite regularly on business. On one of the early trips, a coworker convinced me to try Indian food for the first time at Gaylord's. It became a regular item on my agenda for...

Diving is different in Bonaire

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 17:42:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbird - Forget big fish. Forget wreaks. Forget nitrox.

Forget 2 tank boat trips with hour plus rides each way.

Forget hanging from a line for a saftey stop.

Forget too dive tables.

Bonaire is different. Large fish and...
