End result: Useless

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 14:08:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - This camera is just useless to me. I bought it at a high price from a store in Las Vegas because my camera was stolen the day before we went to the Grand Canyon. I didn't know much about the features but the price was right. Unfortunately, it has a...

Our First Cruise Experience

Fri, 29 Oct 2004 17:20:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - As you read this review, please keep in mind that it was written by a first-time cruiser, and I have no basis for comparison on most points. Also, I traveled with my partner, so my perspective is that of a young couple (early-to-mid 20s). We booked...

Intergate Online Service: Excellent customer support e-mails are fast and helpful.

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 20:42:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - I was a customer through two resellers and wanted to cancel my account. I was told by the second re...

A Disappointment

Tue, 29 Jan 2002 17:12:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - After hearing the stories of famous events that took place at Troy, one perhaps expects a grand location heavily visited by history buffs. Those going to Troy to see where these things occurred will be deeply disappointed, as today the area is little...

Real History

Fri, 12 Oct 2001 11:28:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, and when visiting you really get a feel for its layout as a city. Some historical sites have a ruin here and there, but at Ephesus everything is more or less in place, including the...

Microsoft Notepad: Quick and Dirty (that's a good thing)

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 11:23:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - If you want to make a fancy document, don't use Notepad. If you like emphasizing words with italics or underlining, don't use Notepad. But if you want to make quick, brief notes or have somewhere to reformat copied text before pasting it elsewhere,...

Beautiful graphics & gameplay

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 12:30:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Platformers are my favorite sort of video game - the first title I played was Super Mario Brothers and I've preferred similar games ever since. Spyro is a 3-D platformer, but it's still absolutely delightful.

Not many Playstation games could...

Google: Best-Quality Search Results

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 14:13:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - With most search engines, you have to carefully craft your search terms to get the results you're looking for. Entering a few generic words just won't do it (unless you like wading through a few hundred thousand listings). But I've found that no matter...

Great Prime-Time

Tue, 7 Dec 1999 15:34:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Cartoon Network brings you Saturday morning seven days a week. Their collection of classic Warner Brothers, current shows, and unusual foreign animation (including Japanese shows) is outstanding, and can definitely be enjoyed by all ages.

Where's the Fire?

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:23:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - I wish I knew why they decided to call this movie "Rush Hour." It's not about terrorists on a subway at the peak of commuter frenzy, it's not about road rage on a busy city street -- the movie doesn't even take place at any particular hour of...

Dogma Wow!

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:13:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - I may alienate some readers by saying so, but this movie convinces me that Kevin Smith is God. His first three movies (the "Jersey Trilogy" of Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy) were all winners, but they were indie flicks with a cast of...

ICQ: Picking Flowers

Wed, 24 Nov 1999 17:30:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Even if it is owned by AOL, ICQ is still the best instant messaging program there is. It has the most features, most expansive support, takes up the least amount of screen real estate, and has no ads. It even has great reliability -- the days of...

WinAmp: Sorry, Llama.

Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:38:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Yes, it's true: WinAmp really DOES whip the llama's ass. Which is nothing against the llama: it's hard to measure up to such a popular piece of software, especially one that has played such an important role in the growth of two separate artistic...

Pine: Still Alive

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 17:17:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Pine is familiar to anyone who has ever had a shell account, and although many other options are available, some schools still use it as the primary e-mail client for students and faculty.

Pine is suitable for both novice and advanced users...

Beautiful Despite the Pain

Fri, 19 Nov 1999 22:07:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - Nobody denies that Boys Don't Cry is a painful story; the rape and murder scenes -- both brutal, graphic, explicit, and shown entirely on-screen -- ensure this isn't a Disney movie. But at the same time, Boys Don't Cry is a touching love story,...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Functional but not High-Quality

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 04:36:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author etoile - The QuickCam VC is one of the least expensive webcams on the market, and is also one of the most popular. The hardware installation is very easy, and the software and drivers provided on the CD installed fine. Even someone with only a basic knowledge...
