Very good, but at a cost

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 12:12:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - This was a very tough decision for me. If you check my past reviews, you will see I have already owned a digital camera (a 340R) which was about as low as you could go on digital and still have a quality camera. This was the most I ever spent on any...

Archived Web Services Reviews: The Good, the Bad, the beta....

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 13:57:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - As always there are good and bad things in every new product. There was not too much hype, but certainly a lot of anticipation for the "new" epinions. I, like others, checked often to see just how long it would take to get things up and often felt just...

Romeo and Juliet meet Kung Fu

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 02:57:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - This is not your every day action movie, because of that I can some reasons for disagreement on the quality of this movie. This is, in part, two love stories as well as story of theft, vengeance and greed.

The story actually centers about a...

Alltel Mobile Phone Service in Charlotte: This is for Southern New Mexico....

Sat, 23 Dec 2000 01:37:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - I was noticing the reviews on cellular service and thought it was about time I dropped my two cents in. First of all, regardless of where you live, ALWAYS check out what is available. Remember to ask questions about how well this travels,...

Charity Organizations: fire department programs Volunteerism Write-Off

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:50:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - There are two charity programs within fire departments I am a firm believer in. I have discovered that they are handled differently in many areas, so please check your area. If you don't know if these are available in your area, or just don't know how...

SciFi Anime near it's best!

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 03:13:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - "Ghost in the Shell" centers around a police officer with some rather unusual abilities. Since you watch her made during the opening credits, it becomes obvious within moments of the opening of the story she is "different". The...

A scroll worth owning....

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 02:29:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - What is it that Ninja Scroll has that I enjoy? That is a tough one, every time I think I find it and get something else that is similar to that type, I don't like the new one. It has to be the combination of factors.... This truly is a good...

snoring has a simple solution right? or does it?

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 02:27:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Okay, you've read the other epinions on this, or you haven't... perhaps seen the comercials, or other ads. Breath right nasal strips can cure snoring. These magical strips you simply attach to your nose and **poof** the snoring goes away. Well......

And places are giving this away??

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 13:19:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - First of all, like at least one other reviewer here, I too came from a previous model phone, also Analog only. Previously my phone (Motorola Profile 300) was the "free" model. "Free" as in: sign up for a year and you can take the...

CSpotRun: Glad I gave it a Second chance!

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 02:53:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - This was one of the first programs I loaded on my Palm IIIxe after purchase. I went through the freeware circles like MAD downloading everything I could, though fewer games than you might think.... Still this was one of the items I wanted, and...

Quality you expect from HP

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 01:10:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - This is the fourth Ink Jet printer I have used (third at home) and the second HP. Now sure, I currently use a HP Color Laser at work so I could easily downgrade this one compared to it.... BUT, that printer also costs the equivalent of a small...

no more cleaning mouse... you know whats....

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 22:00:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Yes, we have cats, we have children.... The result? mice that are constantly having problems rolling.... Time to pull out the cleaner and give the rolling ball a once over? not anymore! Finally we got smart, years of putting up with mouse errors,...

precision pro II is definately not second!

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 18:43:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - I've used standard joysticks always paying as little as possible for what I could get. Why? well, once I did pay almost $80 for a WingMan Extreme and it broke within the first two months.... I promised never to pay that much again. Well, technology is...

Qwest the best?

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 18:21:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Well, I cannot say the best, as this is the first DSL service I have tried (does anyone actually switch DSL services just to compare? ouch). Anyhow, this really was my first shot at DSL, coming from a modem using family the phone line was just being...

definately a sweet destination

Sat, 9 Sep 2000 17:50:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Well, I only wish that I had had more time to spend in Hershey, PA. If you have the time, don't forget to visit around the city as well as the attractions. The attractions of course you can see from other reviews: Hershey Park amusement park, the...

curse of the returning ad bar....

Mon, 7 Aug 2000 19:01:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Yes, worldshare, with whom I have been a loyal user of for quite a few months now is dropping their old method and putting on the ad bars that I hate so much.... You still get part of the money earned by the ad bar for your favorite charity, but it is...

MetaCreations Carrara: 3D excellence out of the box

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 09:04:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Carrara has been plagued by problems since this is essentially a

first generation product. Since it combines two of their existing

products (Ray Dream studio and Infini-D), it is certainly not a

beginning level software set. However, for...

Summer Heat == Summer Closures

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 20:26:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - New Mexico is a great place to visit, there is almost endless variety. However, if you haven't seen the news about the Los Alamos fire, or the fire up by Santa Fe you may not know our current status. There is certainly still a lot to see here...

Egreetings.com: more variety and quality

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 19:18:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - I've used lots of e-cards for various purposes over the years. My favorite is still egreetings. 123greetings has some good quality, but not near the quantity and variety that egreetings has. Egreetings offers flash cards (animated, though slower...

Starlancer enters the fray!

Fri, 12 May 2000 13:42:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Starlancer came to the shelves on April 28 pushing other SciFi games down a notch in the purchases. I cannot compare Starlancer with Freespace as I do not own the Freespace products. But curiosity was high and that is a great reason for the initial...

Tinysheet: growing better at less cost

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 13:11:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Tiny sheet started out as the smallest of the spreadsheet apps for the palm handheld line, I doubt it will ever overtake the largest, but it is moving fast. Iambic is beta testing 3.0 (of which I am participating) as well, finally, a tool for syncing...

Concept Kitchen writeRIGHT: the write stuff?

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 12:03:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - I read both reviews of this, so I have to put in my 2 cents worth. I got this more as insurance than anything else. Given a scratch on the screen every few weeks, your screen will be unreadable within a couple of years. If you plan on replacing your...

FreeXDSL Internet Service: WATCH OUT!!

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 16:51:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - Be careful of this one. This is a prime example of why you should read your agreements VERY carefully! This company will give you free DSL service AND free internet service through that line. You will still have to pay fees equal to the cost of...

shocksuit for "casual" protection

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 15:32:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - update 05/23/00:

I have some good news and bad news. First the bad news, I too broke the belt clip: I bent over and the case did not swivle as it usually does which put too much pressure on the clip. It broke apart.... In examining the pieces,...

Pilot Pentopia T2300: are you still using those mini-styli??

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 02:30:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrickley - I enjoyed getting my Palm IIIxe handheld, but I hated that mini-stylus.... I don't know about everyone else, but gripping something that small was VERY uncomfortable. Like many gadgeteers, I was starting to carry around a number of items in my shirt...
