rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - Let me start by saying that the TI-89 is not for everyone. Unless you are going to be going into an engineering program in college or a math or physics related major you probably don't need this calculator, there are many other models which will suit...

Great pack for the tortured student

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I have always loved Jansport backpacks, they are high quality, very durable, and if you have any problems with them you just send them in and they will either fix the problem or give you a new backpack, in other words a great lifetime warranty. I had a...

A great little phone

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 17:52:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - Sure you can go out and buy the phone that has every single option, with a fat price tag. But when you are strapped for cash your options are limited. I was going to buy the standard Nokia phone because my parents both had one, it was the number one...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I really really liked my VooDoo 3 so I decided to upgrade to the 4. The first thing I noticed when I popped in this bad boy was how fast everything ran, the speed at which games ran was even faster. I did notice however that in-game movies were not...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - It all started with the advertisements in magazines. I love the creativity of the absolut vodka ads I saw in mags and I even pulled them out and put them up on my walls. I have always been a vodka lover, it is the first alcohol I ever tasted and is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - About a year ago I used to have this old ATI 8 MB card in my tower, it came with the PC, needless to say, it sucked... really bad. My friend bought some 32 meg card from NVidia and gave me his Voodoo 3. Boy was I happy when I saw the results. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - This was my first acoustic guitar, actually it was my first guitar ever. I had been learning to play using my Aunt's guitar for a couple months when I got this wonderful Yamaha model for Christmas. The sounds that come out of this thing are amazing...

Look at those curves!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I first fell in love with this guitar when I saw Joe playing his "Chromeboy" the original guitar which the JS series guitars are based on. If you have never seen it you are missing out, the guitar is totally chromed over. Now Ibanez decided...

A true epic

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I went and saw Gladiator opening night. Why you ask? Here is why, this is a true story of one of the bravest men who ever lived and triumphed over all odds to gain revenge on the man who stole his world.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I liked this player the moment I downloaded it. I load this sucker up and the first thing I hear is the winamp demo file "Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass." I laughed pretty good when I heard it. That statement couldn't be more true...

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 16:23:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - Aimee Mann is truly a musical genius. When I watched the movie the first time and I heard her singing the famous song "One" I knew that I was going to have to buy the soundtrack just for that song. Later in the movie there is a scene, where...

Strange story, yet very intriguing

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 20:24:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - This movie was a very different film. There were actually like seven stories going on all at once, all the characters are intertwined in some way, some are more obvious connections than others, but for the most part of the movie the "main"...

ATI Rage Fury Pro: Rage Pro way too slow

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 16:35:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I want to start by saying that I had a ATI Rage Pro 128 until I found out how bad it sucked. Some games ran great, but others were a little slow, and a little jerky sometimes, but the picture quality was pretty good. Unfortunately the picture quality...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I like Bruce Willis, but he was great in this movie. I laughed, a lot. I was not laughing really hard, but pretty hard in some spots. Most comedies have streaks in them where you don't laugh for quite awhile, but I found myself almost constantly...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I just got this album yesterday, I was very curious as to how it would sound. I am a big Megadeth fan, I have almost all there albums, and I enjoyed the changes they made on Cryptic Writings. Think of this album as Cryptic Writings extended and...

You got me on my knees!

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 12:35:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - This is the definitive Clapton collection, it has all the great songs he recorded throughout his career with many different bands, but especially Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and his solo work. There are just too many good songs in this boxed set to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I heard these guys first on a cd sampler that my sister picked up, and wow did these guys impress me, they sound quite a bit like rage against the machine except a little more towards the hard rock side.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I absolutely love Gonzaga! Teachers care about their students, some of my teachers gave me their home phone numbers and told me to call if I was having trouble in class. Many professors go by their first names too, forming a close bond with the...

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:43:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - This might be the most enjoyable, addictive, and intriguing game ever.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - I originally bought this cd for the song everybody hurts, when I let the cd play from one end to the other I was astonished at the overwhelming quality of the entire cd. I only skip one song, "The sidewinder sleeps tonight" which is just...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firehawk_71 - This album blew me away. A friend of mine played two songs off of the album and I knew right then and there that there was no hope, I had to buy the CD. I got it in late December and I have listened to it more than all my other CD's combined, and I...
