Great biography that covers everything.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - This is one of the most comprehensive and well-rounded histories yet compiled about Joseph Smith.

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 10:36:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - The monitors I have previously bought have either been part of a full computer system, or the cheapest one I could find. After purchasing the Samsung 955DF, I now realize the error of my ways.

Delta Force, meet Serious Sam!

Mon, 7 Apr 2003 23:59:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - Delta Force games in the past have been a good combination of military simulators and shooting games. With Black Hawk Down the sim part has been completely thrown out and you are shooting everything in sight.

The game itself is ok, it has...

Doesn't stand out

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - It seems like this time of year is when game developers shove out the games that no one will really notice. Huge games usually seem to come out in the Summer, or during Christmas.

Vietcong is the perfect game to come out at this time. It...

You pay for the FedEx name, without FedEx service.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - FedEx Same Day service is their answer to all of the local couriers that you can find in the Yellow Pages. The huge price that you pay for the service is not worth the extra cash it will cost you.

Packages are picked up at any time, and...

A good, low cost way to add firewire.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - I bought a digital camcorder recently and the two options to transfer the video to computer were USB and firewire (IEEE1394). I was warned up front that USB was not fast enough to handle the video and the transfer would loose a little bit of quality...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - The California Pizza Kitchen we visited was at the Gateway Plaza. CPK serves pizza with a variety of toppings you would not find at Pizza Hut. These include BBQ Chicken, Duck, eggplant and so forth. As far as I can tell, the gourmet toppings are the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - I have used a few different services. AT&T, which I paid $19.95, and a couple of free services which didn't have the connection speed I was hoping for. I signed up with US West because they had a promotion which gave me unlimited internet time for $12.95...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - I recently upgraded from a 3dfx Voodoo 3000 card to ATI's Radeon 7200. I have never had problems with my graphics cards in the past, I just wanted something a little faster, with some new technology.

The card comes with a small instruction...

Tue, 21 Aug 2001 16:42:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - This HP like others that I have owned is an excellent printer. If you're looking for an affordable inkjet that gives top notch printouts, this is the one to go for. Printouts on photo paper are excellent, but what really surprised me is the very high...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - First of all this is a review for the ZR20 which is the exact same camcorder but with a removable memory card.

This is the best camera I have tried for this price. If you are looking to shoot home movies, I would recommend it. I just...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - I made the move to digital with my camera last year when our baby was born. I knew we would be taking a lot more pictures that usual and that we would want to email them around the world.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - It is unfortunate that John Carpenter has gone so far down hill. Some of my favorite movies include Big Trouble in Little China and The Thing. These movies demonstrate everything that Gosts of Mars could have boon. They have great dialogue, and plenty...

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 20:51:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - The Patriot has been the most disappointing movie of the year for me so far. Not the worst movie, but definitely not as great as I was expecting.

If you have seen the movie Braveheart, think back to some of the scenes. Mel Gibson giving the...

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 19:40:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - X-men is a great movie to introduce this world famous comic book to everyone. It isn’t necessary to know the back-story of every character, or even understand a lot about this comic book world that has been created. I have seen some opinions that it is...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - The problem with buffet’s at most places is they are trying to feed people as cheaply as possible. Therefore, they cook food with the least amount of quality they can with people still paying for it.

Taco Time; like Taco Bell, but Good!

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 17:29:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jjohnsen0 - It seems like Taco Time has got a little more expensive over the years, but this is worth it if the quality stays the same. I know that quality is not something that is usually mentioned at the same time as fast food, but it is true. When you compare...
