If you like Pokemon, you'll like this

Fri, 10 Jan 2003 21:19:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I don't know much about Dragon Warriors, outside of this Gameboy game. I had enjoyed the Pokemon games, and so someone suggested I play this one.

The premise is this: You, Cobi, have just moved to Great Log. A naughty prince and his monster...

NetFlix: Slow turnaround, not enough new inventory

Fri, 10 Jan 2003 20:54:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I first joined NetFlix at the end of 2000. I loved the selection and the fact that I didn't have to leave the house.

After three or four months I discontinued the service because the movies took way too long to get from California to my house...

Better, but Still Looking

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 00:50:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - Six months ago we unexpectedly acquired two additional cats, making for a grand total of four.

Managing the litter box has been a problem. Our first two cats spent some time outdoors and must have gone to the bathroom outside. The two...

CompuVest Online Store: Shop anywhere but Here

Fri, 26 Oct 2001 15:09:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - A few months ago I ordered a cd-burner for a relative's birthday. Being impressed with the brand I had ordered for myself, I decided to stick with the same model.

I found compuvest.com through a low-price search engine. I hadn't heard of...

SMC Barricade Broadband Router: Pretty good, but not perfect

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 22:44:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I purchased my SMC Barricade router three months ago. I've had broadband internet access for four years, while all the other computers in the house were stuck on dial up, so I decided it was time to network. I spent a week or so examining my options...

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 00:04:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - Several months ago I realised it was time to buy a new computer. After browsing quite a few computer websites in search of reasonable custom-built machines, I found NeoComputers.

This site undoubtedly has the absolute best prices for custom...

Staples Online Store: Staples Stinks

Sun, 12 Aug 2001 22:27:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - This has to be one of the worst online office-supply stores around. I have never, not once, had them properly deliver my order- not my own personal orders or orders for my company.

I stopped using Staples over a year ago now. I was a...

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 00:52:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I bought my Samsung ML-4500 three months ago when my Canon ink-jet suddenly died on me. I wasn't looking forward to spending money I didn't have on a printer, but I am very happy I bought this printer.

This specs say this printer prints about...

Best Coen Brothers Yet

Sat, 12 May 2001 12:36:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I originally wanted to see this movie because of all the hoopla about it being based on Homer's Odyssey. You see, I studied Classics, and it's always fun to see references to ancient Greece in modern times. Plus, while I'm not a huge George Clooney...

Sometimes fun, not much substance

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 19:37:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I suppose it was inevitable with the decline of the Internet Economy, but the Industry Standard has deteriorated over the past year.

When I first stated receiving the magazine (through a free subscription), I was overjoyed. It was packed with...

Guard Dog: The best I've found so far, but still looking

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 18:58:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - Cyberdog is the most effective cookie-blocker that I have tried. You can initially set the program to either accept, reject, or prompt you to choose whether to allow cookies from sites you have directly visited, as well as sites indirectly viewed (think...

A great DVD player for the price!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 17:20:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I purchased this DVD player in October, after reading many reviews and visiting several stores to see how sturdy the machines were. I liked the Toshiba because it was reasonably priced, and it seemed sturdy. If you have the opportunity to examine...

Quicken TurboTax: Best Tax Software I've used!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 16:58:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I've been using Turbo Tax for the past few years. I've tried several other programs, and this one has the best help features of them all. It's a great program for people who can't deal with reading all the mumbo jumbo and who aren't sure what the laws...

I was addicted to the Sims

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 16:32:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - This is a great game, one of the best of the Sim games. I played it almost nonstop for a few weeks, to the detriment of my real life, and had a great time, if also a sore wrist.

The game is daunting at first, with so many controls...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: So far, so good

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 16:01:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I bought this Handspring Visor after a terrible experience with Palm. My Palm had died, for the second time, a week after the warranty expired, and after the complete rudeness and utter unhelpfulness from the Palm staff, I swore I would never buy...

This is a place that I plan to visit many more times!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 14:35:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I was so excited to see the Grand Canyon. The first glimpses I had of it, through the trees on the path to the canyon, filled me with immense joy. I was not disappointed with what I saw when I finally reached the heart of the park!

I entered...

I'm quite happy with this camera

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 14:10:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I purchased my Coolpix 800 camera last September primarily for taking pictures for Ebay. I had read the reviews and decided that the Nikon was the best choice for my budget. I found a great deal, plus a 75.00 rebate. This is the perfect choice for...

Only way to go in Maine

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 03:46:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I really wish that we had DSL up here. I've heard awful things about it not working, and I doubt that I would switch from cable at this point, but Road Runner is in dire need of competition.

I've had Road Runner for over four years now...

Going to look elsewhere

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 03:28:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I recently opened an account on Ameritrade because the rates seemed quite cheap, and I'd heard it was a user-friendly site. Wrong!

Okay, so it *is* cheap... but I'm starting to wonder if you don't get what you pay for! I was able to fund...

I won't fly them again

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 03:06:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - Last July I took a round trip flight from Boston to Atlanta. Air-Tran had many scheduled flights which were some of the best deals I could find. The trip from Boston to Atlanta was fine, if absolutely no-frills.

Flying back home was another...

The Westin Harbour Castle: I won't stay there again

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 02:46:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I bought my mother basketball tickets for her birthday. Since her favorite team is sold out at home, I got her tickets for Toronto, a city she'd always wanted to visit. She chose to stay at the Westin Harbor because we'd heard rumors the visiting teams...

I'd like my money back, please

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 02:09:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - You know how everyone talks back to the screen during Rocky Horror Picture Show, or when the killer is hiding in the closet? If shouting at the movie were permissible in theatres, this movie might have been fun.

My father and I had decided to...

Well, it's better than what I had, but a pain

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 01:50:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eholmes1 - I purchased a custom built computer last month. I'd picked this video card because it was in my price range, and I liked the little I read on the manufacturer's page. I wish I had read more, like the FAQ that included the info on what operating systems...
