Death by Overheating

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 21:35:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - I purchased an Averatec 3150 over a year ago. I was first attracted to it by it's size and price; on a 12.1 inch frame, it weighed about 4.3 pounds and cost me (after discounts and rebates, but before tax) about $600. With a reasonable 256MB of RAM and a...

Passable, but not as good as the original; no spoilers in review

Sun, 19 Dec 2004 10:37:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - When it came out, the billing for this movie was that it was like it's predecessor, "The Bourne Identity," but better. It was supposed to have more action and more suspense; it was expected to leave people who liked the original movie very satisfied...

Excellent in the car! No extra wires!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - The world is not short of good MP3 players. There are fat ones, thin ones, fast ones, slow ones; players with buttons, players with dials, players with free subscriptions and players with smiles. MP3 players are becoming commodities, like, say, hammers...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv -

Yahoo's auction site could have been as good as ebay's. It had the ability to deliver traffic, a decent interface and the ability to deliver sellers. It had problems with deadbeat bidders and sellers, but those problems could have been...

MPTrip MP3-CD Player: Excellent, for a First Generation device

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 12:47:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - The MPTrip MP3 player is a first generation device. It is, literally, the first portable device to allow playing of mp3s directly from a CD. All first generation devices have flaws. Being one step away from a prototype, they are generally unreliable...

Heres whats missing from the movie

Sun, 28 May 2000 11:14:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth was a great book. Of course, the movie stunk. Reeked! It's obvious that this movie is on the fast train to MST3K; I wouldn't be surprised to see it on Starz or Encore (two of the worst movie channels ever made)...

Hubbard, L Ron: Epic Sagas -R- Us

Sun, 28 May 2000 10:48:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv -

If you ignore Dianetics, etc. , you might just get a chance to recognize that L. Ron Hubbard is a great writer of epic sagas. If you like long winded sci-fi books, L. Ron is your man. His greatest achievements, in my mind, are the ten-part sci...

Elian-O-Matic

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 21:23:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv - It's cute! It's cuddly! No, it isn't Big Bird, or some animatronic teddy bear. It's Elian Gonzales.

And I'm sick of it.

Every time I turn on the television, I see some ridiculous talking head chattering about Elian Gonzalez. This...

Bad Service, Bad Security

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 01:08:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jmailrecv -

I began using Firstrade this summer; I was tired of E-Trade's high fees and long load times. I hadn't yet learned of Datek. I chose Firstrade because it was high on GomezAdvisors' list of brokerages. They looked decent, so I verified that they...
