Nokia 6150 GSM Cellular Phone: A taste of classic

Thu, 1 Mar 2001 04:07:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - Mobiles became the favorite toys for grown-ups. And I like these toys. In the last years I've been using mobiles from Ericsson, Nokia, Bosch, Sagem and Sony.

I reckon I've always had a feeble for Nokia and always kept an eye on their products. For...

Sony Ericsson A-1018s: Delusion

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 11:30:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I bought this phone one year ago, tempted by the name and the convenient price. I needed a new phone and this one looked like a good deal.

The pros

Sturdy It's solid like a rock. I did even hit it against a wall,...

Etour: Valuable tours

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 11:57:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I became a member of Etour by accident and also started using it by accident. Even if I'm a Paid To Surf And Do Other Stuff addict, I wasn't that interested in Etour's features.

I actually joined Etour from Spedia, only to increase the number...

Nokia 5110: Mobile it is

Tue, 7 Nov 2000 12:38:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - For obvious reasons (if you check my profile), I'm mainly interested in cheap stuff. I bought this phone last year for a reasonable $100.

I have been and still am extremely satisfied with it.

My reasons:

Skiddily.com: Start here

Tue, 31 Oct 2000 13:37:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - There are quite a few paying portals on the net, such as with Basicpoint, Ignifuge a.s.o.

However, even if older, none of these made it to the professional level of Skiddily.

Let me explain:

The good things

AntiViral Toolkit Pro: Affordable professional protection

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 03:47:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - Antivirus software should be on every PC (and MAC). It's as needed as the operating system. You just can't live without it. More than that, with the incredible increase in virus numbers one should actually use two different virus protection tools from...

Altavista Search: THE search engine

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 11:36:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I've been using Altavista search for several years now and, despite the always increasing offer, I keep coming back all the time.

It's not that other search engines are bad, it's just that Altavista remains THE search engine to use.

Maxref: For connoisseurs...

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 11:37:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - Just as many other online tools, Maxref needs to be correctly used to unleash its full power.

In order to explain this, here are the assumptions I made:

1. No such tool will ever replace your own site in terms of efficiency.

2. The effort...

Paybar: The stable companion

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 10:18:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I've been a member of Paybar for several months now.

At first, I was kinda disappointed and didn't use it much.

If you're a newbie, as I was, Paybar doesn't seem attractive at all.

Its rates appeared worthless and its requirements...

YourInterNetWork.com: Their Internetwork

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 07:52:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I've been a member of YourInterNework since June and, at the beginning I was very excited about it. The program seemed promising and, as one of the first 5000 members (number 2741, actually) I was supposed to enjoy increased benefits.

My excitement...

Microsoft FrontPage 2000: Professional sites for everybody

Fri, 15 Sep 2000 06:43:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I just can't stress enough how useful FrontPage is for the novice and even average Web "developer". And how annoying it may become for experienced programmers.

I myself started with Frontpage and still use it occasionally, but at present I...

Microsoft Access: Understand your data

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 10:50:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I have been using MS Access from the very first version and even if now I am mainly developing in VB, I still consider MS Access as one of the best Desktop Database Management System.

It is an excellent tool for a wide range of users, from those...

Nerves Fusion

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 06:30:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I'm not a web guru. I have a certain knowledge of Web programming but I will only be able to design the simplest page in Notepad.

That's why I thought NetObjects Fusion was THE editor for me.

Unfortunately, I quickly changed my mind.

CashSurfers.com: The pennies machine

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 05:52:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - As a PTS addicted, I often change the programs I currently use with a few exceptions. CashSurfers is one of these exceptions. I love this program and here's why:

1. Obviously, because IT PAYS. Not much, but it's long since I gave up believing...

Windows ME - Not me

Wed, 13 Sep 2000 06:29:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - I've been a MS Windows 9x enthousiast for many years now.

I started using Windows 95 since the Beta 3 release and continued with OSR2, Windows 98 and Windows 98SE. That's why, when Windows ME appeared, I instantly jumped into it. This was one of my...

Spedia: Spedia I hate it/love it

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 10:54:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gexx16 - Spedia shows one of the best examples of efficient management. Because, whatever you may see on PTS sites, it's all about money. We're not into PTS because we love advertisers or because we like to have colorful bars on our desktops, we're in it for...
