NetFlix: Scratch one good idea....

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 02:46:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - Great concept, great service, sent me movies faster than I imagined. So, what's wrong?? No quality control. They simply don't have time to look at movies that come back in the door. I've had to deal with movies that were unplayable (halfway through,...

Audrey-what's good, what's not

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 17:58:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I saw the Audrey Internet Appliances on sale at TigerDirect.com for the blowout price of $89 each, plus shipping, and said, "Wow, cool!" Hey, I like gadgets, and this one has "major gadget factor" as a friend of mine put it. But what was I going to do...

Catalog City: Why go through a middleman?

Wed, 21 Mar 2001 14:48:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've placed two orders with CatalogCity.com, the first was for a drill press, where they messed up on ordering the thing from Industrial Pipe and Steel. Three weeks later, I get an email that they messed up, and were paying expedited shipping to get the...

A great value

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 21:12:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - Washington Mutual has been in Washington state for a LONG time. As a matter of fact, they are the only bank in the state that has not changed its name since the day I went to work in the title insurance industry in June, 1976. That's stability.

Not quite ready for the 21st Century

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 21:00:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - Bank One seems to think the way an awful lot of brick-and-mortar businesses have been trained to think about the Internet: Just provide everything the way we do in our traditional outlets, and consider the web site as just one more telephone line we...

BJC-1000, not a bad value!

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 20:26:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - After my Canon BJC-4000 printer finally gave up the ghost, I had to quickly find another printer, at an economical price. I decided to buy another Canon, as the 4000 had a lot of hard miles put on it by the wife before she gave it to me, upon the...

Save yourself a big download!

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 19:57:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've read some good opinions here regarding Freewwweb, and they appear right on the mark. Freewwweb is one of my favorite ISP's (I also use WorldSpy and a paid ISP), and I nearly always can get a good connection, without busy signals. Of course, if you...

Great, if you can get it.

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 19:36:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've used NoCharge.com on and off for the last few months.

On, because, I was excited to see that not only did they have a phone number in Olympia (where I'm toll-free from), but also in my town of Shelton, so I could recommend it to my...

RhinoPoint: Free Internet for people who can't (or won't) switch

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 19:13:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've done reviews here at Epinions on free Internet Service Providers, and my opinion is that whenever possible, you should use them. Free ISP's will produce price pressure on existing paid ISP's, forcing them to offer more value, either by lowering...

Cybergold: A worthwhile investment of time

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 20:14:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I joined up with Cybergold back in May 1999, and while I don't visit it as much as I used to, I still find it useful.

It's a bit better than MyPoints, mainly because of the cash option that it provides, but it doesn't have as many opportunites...

NetZero: Well, its a start.....

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 19:55:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I signed up for NetZero back in May, 1999, while doing a Deja.com search of Usenet postings on FreeINet. Back in those days, NetZero was simple, fairly unobtrusive, and worked well. I immediately began to use NetZero as my primary ISP, relegating...

Spedia: A very special love/hate relationship

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 05:39:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've been with Spedia nearly since it began, back in August, 1999. I contribute regularly to an online Delphi forum about the "get paid to surf" plans (look up the word "AdStream"), and have seen a very wide variety of opinions on...

AllPaidFor.com: Not quite ready for the big time

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 05:13:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - AllPaidFor is one of the earliest entrants in what will likely be a burgeoning field of "reward" sites. Instead of just clicking on a banner because its content truly interests you, you click on all kinds of banners, to be taken to a website,...

All Advantage: Money for Nothing? Bucks for Free?

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 05:00:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've been involved with AllAdvantage.com since May, 1999. I'm a regular participant on the Delphi forum ( http://www.delphi.com/alladvantage411 ), and have seen all sorts of users of the program. I post to the forum on a nearly daily basis, and it is a...

The best of the Adbar supported ISP's

Wed, 15 Dec 1999 04:24:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author hunter112 - I've tried all of the adbar-supported "free" ISP's available in my area, which at this time, consists of two of them: FreeINet, and NetZero. I found out about FreeINet on a billboard in my area (it started in my home state of Washington), and...
