McAfee VirusScan: Best of the Virus products I've used.

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 09:24:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Being a computer nut (also referred to as a geek), I've used several different anti-virus programs. When it comes to the sheer ability to sniff out and stop a virus from invading your computer, none I've used have matched McAfee products.

I've...

Braveheart, an outstanding action film.

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 08:45:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I'll have to admit, I've never seen a Mel Gibson flick I didn't like. He plays each part to it's fullest and keeps an audience well entertained with his acting ability.

In Braveheart, he outdoes himself. You find yourself lost in the plot,...

Verizon Mobile Phone Service in Houston: Verizon provides an excellent cellular service.

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 14:06:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - We've had cellular service for quite some time now and know lots of folks who have it also. We've compared the plans and rates and services of many companies and find Verizon Wireless to be among the very best.

This is not to say we haven't...

A waste of film, talent, and time.

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 13:12:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - We view the major characters in their home settings, preparing to take their dogs to a classy dog show. Figuring it has to get better, we keep watching. Half way through the show we decide to go ahead and watch it to the end thinking, we paid for it, we...

Ugh - I'd rather watch Get Smart reruns.

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 12:48:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Although I thought this movie was a real waste of money it did have it's moments. There were a few funny parts that had the kids laughing.

We took our granddaughter (age 4) and our niece (age 8) to see this movie and wish we had selected...

Well worth the price of admission

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 12:33:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Travolta outdid himself. At the outset you think you're watching some film producers turning him down for a new film he wants to do or something. He wants the bad guy to win? How unspeakable! Then, the lunch is over.

He is the bad guy and this...

WOW - incredible value

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 15:16:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I just assembled an AMD-Athlon-750 MHz system with 20 gig Hard drive, 8 meg AGP video card, floppy drive, 40 x CD ROM drive, Yamaha sound system and two speakers, a Keytronic keyboard and MS-Mouse (2 button with the wheel). Loaded Windows ME with 128 meg...

Downhill in a hurry

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 07:41:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - In my previous opinion of 1nol - I expounded upon how great this service was and at that time it really was the best I'd found.

However, a short while later we find that 1nol has gone the way of many other free ISP's that were doing good and...

750 MHz Athlon speed demon

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 17:24:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - WOW - incredible bargain and the speed you need to get the job done. With pricing as low as $379.00 for the motherboard, CPU, fan, a case with 250 watt power supply, 3D sound and 56k Voice V.90 Fax/Modem, network card, and more - how could anyone pass...

Excellent product at the right price.

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 10:36:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I've tried many different free ISPs and this one (1Nation) is now topping my list as the one to use. How often we've heard the statement "in the right place at the right time" and how true it is about this ISP. They have the right product at...

What can you expect for "FREE"

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 10:12:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I've been trying out many different free internet access providers. Among them is Juno, a so-so service that needs a lot of help.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FOR FREE?

Well, for starters, you could expect an interface that doesn't block a large...

Space saving wonder.

Sat, 19 Aug 2000 09:03:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - About the only reason I can think of to purchase one of these jewels is for the space savings. However, this technology is truely a marvel. The quality of picture you receive in this line of monitors is amazing and rivals even the highest resolution...

Not their best product by far.

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 08:33:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I've tested and used many different Canon printers over the years and this one is my least favorite. It is a fair printer, yielding respectable color results and very good Black & White print in reasonable times. However, it doesn't have the quality...

OK pizza, fun kids place.

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 08:47:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - The little kid in all of us comes racing out as we enter the CEC near home and see all the video games, skeeball, and other types of games they have there. If you purchase one of the family pack specials which includes pizza, drinks, and a bunch of...

Good again and again

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 08:46:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Last night I watched "Patch Adams" for the fifth time and I'm sure I'll watch it at least several more times before it stops running on the satellite system. It's just one of those movies that are good enough to be viewed multiple times.

Outstanding camera

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 14:21:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - The panasonic line of cameras are among the best we've seen. We checked out a lot of cameras before deciding on the PV-L779D which is the upgrade to the 759. It has 300x Digital Zoom, an 8 meg chip for recording digital pictures, the color LCD screen,...

Easy to master with plenty of help, tutors, and online aids. You can write...

Protection at it's best.

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 06:45:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Whether you're in the midst of preparing a report, or downloading your email, or playing a game against your main rival online, you'll be glad you connected your system using the S.L.Waber 420ST power console. It's back up power supply and built in power...

Quick, easy pictures.

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 14:35:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Casio makes an excellent product which is fairly easy for anyone to use. Just point and shoot for most pictures and you get good clear results. A little practice with this camera and you'll be taking pictures which beat most throw away cameras and some...

Very good debut movie.

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 14:20:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Steven Segal plays the part to the hilt and has a hit here. This is an excellent action movie. The plot was well played and moved smoothly throughout. I'm an action nut and enjoy all of the Segal movies as well as those of other good action stars.

Connect Connect Connect

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 14:09:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - That's one thing you can say for sure about the whole family of 3Com communication devices. They connect - and - they connect with more different brands and types of modems than any other I've ever tested.

This is not what I'm currently using,...

Quality mousing device.

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 11:22:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Logitech has an edge on the market here. This company is more than just a step ahead in design for Trackballs and mice. Their ergonomic design fits your hand like no other. They have been making trackball devices for a long time and I began using one of...

No tail means distance

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 11:08:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I actually bought one of these because I thought it a novel idea and wanted to test it out for myself. Being a computer consultant I like to be able to give folks an honest opinion based on experience. With some items it's easy to gain the experience by...

Goodbye sticky mouse.

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 10:05:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - Why didn't they think of this one a lot sooner. Oh how I wish I had thought of it actually. This one will go on my Love It list.

I've already had surgery on my right wrist for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If you don't know about that, it's when the...

NetZero: Works - painfully - sorta.

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 09:48:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author daklown - I don't know if it's growing pains or just problematic software and hardware. Sometimes I can get a great connection quickly, other times it takes multiple attempts and then is a so-so connection or worse.

Upgrades, that's another glitch...
