MSN Search: Quick and Simple

Thu, 10 Aug 2000 17:30:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I have found the MSN Search feature in the Internet Explorer browser to be my first choice when searching for something. I simply type in what I am looking for in Internet Explorer's address bar - where the web site's URL is displayed. The search...

Microsoft Chat: Still getting the kinks out

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 11:22:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - After using Yahoo! Chat for many months I recently discovered that Microsoft has their own Chat. Microsoft's chat software is better technically than Yahoo's, but is not as well thought out. Microsoft's chat is new and many problems that still need to...

Free and Easy to Use!

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 19:10:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I recently signed up with 1stup.com through its partnership with My Points Connect. I must admit that I joined due to the attraction of getting 50 points from My Points for surfing - for free - ten hours a month. However, it turned out that 1stup.com...

An Awful Airline!

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 16:01:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - After my experience with Air Tran, where my fights to and from the city I was visiting were delayed, I wondered if all of Air Train's flights were as terrible. After my science teacher recounted another awful experience with Air Tran in class I knew...

A Visit to Lake Forest

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 11:53:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I was able to visit Lake Forest College during the summer. It had lower average SAT scores than most colleges I was looking at, but I liked the location. Lake Forest is about an hour away from Chicago by train (which is a five minute walk from the...

A Visit to Carleton

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 11:18:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I recently was able to visit Carleton College. I had worried, before visiting, about Carleton being too rural, i.e., in the middle of frozen Minnesota. However, Carleton is only about a half hour from the Twin Cities. The town it is located in,...

Connecticut College: A Visit to Connecticut College

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 11:03:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I recently had the chance to take a tour of Connecticut College. The campus is large, with a lush, green lawn in the middle of it. It is quite beautiful.

The dorms are larger than at most colleges, though they are not particularly modern...

A Classy Hotel

Sun, 7 May 2000 15:23:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - The Mandalay Bay is, in my opinion, the second best hotel/casino in Las Vegas (just behind the Bellagio). I did not expect the Mandalay Bay to be that nice when I arrived there. However, I was very pleasantly surprised.

I arrived at the...

I Love My 323i

Thu, 4 May 2000 17:21:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - My 323i has been a joy to drive. It is a very fun car to drive but it is also a very safe car. The 323 series is also very reliable. I have not had one single major problem with it since I bought it. I will detail the only minor problem later.

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in Washington/Baltimore: Just the Basics...and Poor Service

Thu, 4 May 2000 16:51:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I originally chose Sprint because they were the first company to offer an affordable digital cellular phone. Now, of course, nearly everyone does. So why do I stay with Sprint? I don't know...the service is awful. In fact, my most recent phone I...

Awfully Big

Thu, 27 Apr 2000 16:04:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - Caesars Palace is huge -- too huge. It takes outdoor moving sidewalks to get around; they go on forever. The hotel/casino/shops are also a mixture of the old and the new. Caesars Palace is as uneven as its age. Some parts are quite nice, others are...

Very, Very Nice!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 22:07:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - The Bellagio is, quite simply, the best hotel in Las Vegas. When I walked into the Bellagio the first thing I did was go to the bathroom. The Bellagio has the best public bathrooms that I have ever seen! They are amazing. The speakers in the bathroom...

Going to the Getty

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 19:54:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - The Getty Center is one of the most-looked forward to cultural centers in recent memory (at least in the United States). My visit to the Getty took a whole afternoon and it was well worth it.

At the time when I went to the Getty a reservation...

New York New York: Terrible!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 18:13:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - My first mistake when visiting Las Vegas was to stay at the New York, New York hotel and casino. It was an awful experience throughout.

The first problems started when we tried to check in to the hotel. The line to check in was extremely...

Very Entertaining!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 18:02:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - This book is a smashing critique of the world of modern art. Though the book is now more than twenty years old, it does not seem to be very dated. Many of its critiques still apply today. This is Tom Wolfe's funniest book. Many sections of it...

Yahoo! Chat: Lots of Problems

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 16:36:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - Yes, I use Yahoo! Chat a lot. Too much, in fact. However, that does not mean that it is easy to use or that the software works very well at all. Some problems:

a) The software often kicks you out of the chat room you are in, causing you to...

MyPoints.com: A Good Way To Make $$$

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 17:58:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I have been using MyPoints for a few years (I actually started with a service called BonusMail, which was bought by MyPoints a year or two ago). I have few complaints with the MyPoints. It is an easy-to-use service that gives you points for doing a few...

A Dissenting View

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 19:33:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I hate to be the one to express this opinion, but the Empire State Building was, sad to say...a letdown for me. Don't get me wrong, the Empire State Building is one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world. It is great to look at. But to visit...

Take a Tour

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 19:20:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - My visit to Hollywood was not without its disappointments. Yes, some of it is dirty, loud, filthy. Yes, it's trashy. Yes, the Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't very well kept up. But, some star-glamour does shine out from inside the filth and garbage...

Topeka - Capital of Kansas

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 19:07:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I have been to Topeka many times and have seen the city grow every time I go. There are many fun things to do in this city and I will try to list as many as possible.

You will probably enter Topeka via the Kansas Turnpike. It is a toll road,...

Few Problems

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 18:35:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I decided to download the Alta Vista free Internet access software after my horrible experience with Blue Light/Yahoo (which I detailed in an opinion of that product). From the word "go" Alta Vista was a much better experience. The software...

Red light for BlueLight

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 16:52:47 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - I downloaded the software for the BlueLight free internet service thinking that, since it was from Yahoo!, that it was probably the best free internet service around. Unfortunately, I was sadly mistaken. From the download on, the experience was awful...

Jazz From Goldsmith

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 20:46:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - This score from Jerry Goldsmith, to the 1990 film "The Russia House", is much better than the film that it was composed for. This is one of the best soundtracks in Jerry Goldsmith's long career; it is a personal favorite of mine. The music is...

Not Up to the Usual Standard

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 17:53:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - Like the film it was based on, Dennis McCarthy's score to "Star Trek: Generations" is a disappointing. Mr. McCarthy, who scored many episodes of the long running television series "Star Trek: The Next Generation", may have seemed at...

Not the Best

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 17:16:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author goshel - This soundtrack, unfortunately, has many things going against it. The 1986 film was one of the best Star Trek films, but sadly the music does not match up. First, the soundtrack is very short, less than forty minutes. Second, a lot of the music is not...
