Mon, 2 Dec 2002 14:19:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - I don't like television, let's get that clear from the outset. I watch it only occasionally. I do, however, like my movies very much, and for movie watching, I do indeed need a TV. Not only do I need a TV to watch movies on, I also need a VCR or DVD...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - Adobe has been at the leading edge of graphic design software since its first releases of Illustrator and Photoshop. In my opinion, Adobe Photoshop is, without a doubt, the finest image editor on the market for a number of reasons.

Wed, 27 Sep 2000 05:24:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - I am a huge fan of sim games. If it's a simulation, i probably have it, and if it is any good, I play it constantly. In general, I worship the ground Maxis walks on when it comes to sims, but this one is a total loser.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - In the early 60s, a bunch of Irish kids got together and formed a new band, which they named "Them". Them had a few hits in the mid-60s, including Here Comes The Night, and Gloria, but didn't last terribly long, because in 1967 their lead...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - Let me start by saying that Travelocity is the best way to compare ticket prices that I've managed to find so far. But that is pretty much the end of its usefulness for this opinionated person.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3nny3lf - Everybody needs one CD to play specifically because they're ticked off at the universe or utterly, profoundly depressed and wanting to wallow in it. For me, that CD is God Lives Underwater - Empty.
