rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - To me, the 2 movies with the best one liners is a tight race between Army of Darkness and Aliens. Bill Paxton delivers some of the best lines in this movie along with his marine crew and the little girl Newt. On top of that, add the suspense and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - I don't know if I was one of the few people that came out of this movie feeling like it really wasn't a martial arts flick. But instead, it was more of a drama with the martial arts on the side. Don't get me wrong however, I thought that the martial...

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 02:59:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - As a avid first person shooter gamer (ie: Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, etc..), I eat and spit out mice for a living. I've destroyed about 2 Microsoft Intellimice in the past year, and on top of that (we'll see how long this mouse lasts), I have to clean...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - I'm in a city about a 5 hour drive from the nearest large city. I'm a medical student on loans so I can't exactly fly out on a regular basis at regular airline prices. So what do I do? I fly Southwest!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - For a poor medical school student like myself (just racking up the interest on those loans), there's nothing greater than cheap or free stuff. ESPECIALLY if the free stuff is a free flight!

The Low Down

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 08:58:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - Why does a sleek piece of machinery like the Palm Vx come with a serial cradle? I was guessing that it's the same reason why a large percentage of corporate America is still using Windows 3.1. I forgave Palm, but I quickly developed USB envy of my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - My OPS 8x4x32 (a repackaged Plextor 8x4x32) died on me, and so I took advantage of the CompUSA 1 year replacement plan warranty (the gift that keeps on giving).

University Towers - Is this an apartment or a dorm?

Fri, 1 Dec 2000 04:47:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - It's every Asian mom's idea that Jester is the ultimate party dorm (which it's not), and they think that their children will fail out from UT if they go there. That's how I ended up at University Towers.

This is a review of University Towers...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author drpooh03 - I received the QPS Internal IDE 8x4x32 CD-RW as a present, and being a PC using all my life, I wasn't familiar with QPS (being that it's a predominantly Mac brand).

Opening up the box and looking at the drive, I was puzzled to see Plextor on...
