Looking to Find A New Online Bank

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 23:19:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I started an account with Compubank early this year; in March, I believe. I was happy with my Compubank account, but it got gobbled up by NetBank. Netbank offers higher interest; I have no complaints about that, but there are several other issues I'm...

Yeah, it's worth seeing

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I'm not really big on American action adventure movies, but my best friend wanted us to go see it at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco, so I went.

Like so many popular American movies, the emphasis is on action and technical accomplishment,...

Free Checking Plus

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I've had my CalFed account for several years now and have nothing to complain about. I have free checking with my VIP checking account and they even pay a small amount of interest. The interest is only 1 %, but with no minimum balance requirement, who...

Onebox: Sign up for this one

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 10:42:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I can't even remember how I heard of this excellent email website, but I'm sure glad I did. When I signed up for the email account, I received 100 free business cards with my name, onebox email address, and a real local telephone number and extension so...

No banner Ads, but...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I was attracted to iFreedom's promise of no annoying banner ads. The deal is when you first log on and every 20 minutes thereafter, 3 banner ads pop up, occupying a box that measures about 7 inches wide by 4 inches in height. You have 3 minutes to click...

I wish I hadn't bought it.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I bought it new about a year ago and have been mostly disappointed. I paid $200 for it and within a few weeks saw a refurbished model on sale at Frye's Electronics for $99. Shortly after that ad appeared, it was offered again at $79. There must have been...

It runs on just about anything

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - But you'll be money ahead buying a powerful enough computer to take advantage of the numerous free ISPs. (I believe a 90 Mhz Pentium with 16m RAM is the minimum, but you won't be happy with anything that slow.)

I used AOl for well over a year...

It's REALLY Slow

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 22:34:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - I don't recall any particular problems downloading or installing the product, but there's always some difficulty getting connected. When I click on the neat little button next to "Use access number I selected in my profile to dial now," I get a...

ETRADE: I like ETrade, but...

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 19:05:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - They did screw up significantly when I attempted to create a new E*Trade account by transferring an entire account from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. My motivation for starting the new account was an offer of a $100 merchandise certificate from Buy.com. I...

Scrabble for Windows: I'm disappointed

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 14:39:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - The computer will give you as tough a game as you can handle, but it's needlessly clumsy and inconvenient to run.

For starters, the game will only run in 256 color mode. Most modern computers with at least an adequate video adaptor will be set...

They're cheap to buy, but...

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 13:12:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - Mine is a 1990 Excel GS. I bought in 1994 for $2650. The car had been garaged since purchased new by the guy I bought it from. The body and interior were in close to like new condition and it only had 45,500 miles on the odometer.

During a...

Yes, it's really free

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - You don't have to pay AOL $22/month to get on the web and have an email account, but if you like AOL, this is based on more or less the same model.

Specifically, Freeinet has their own content which you can access transparently without...

Go with the BEST

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 12:41:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - AltaVista was my first free net access provider. I was signed up with AOL at the time I first heard of it, so I cautiously kept my AOL account active for about my first month of AltaVista use.

Since then I've tried several others, but came...

If nothing better is available...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author craig0207 - then you might want to sign up for JUNO's free net access, but there are several better alternatives.

Juno offers their own free email, but you must choose separate dial up numbers for email and web access. If you log on to the web, you have...
