Microsoft Windows XP Professional (E85-00086) For PC: Stick with Windows 2000!

Tue, 26 Feb 2002 14:43:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author joey - Let me just say to begin that Windows XP is just a pretty face on top of some bug fixes for Windows 98, and if you are thinking of upgrading from windows 98, my recomendation is to upgrade to Windows 2000 which has been very stable and reliable for me...

Cool and cryptic, it packs a wallop.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joey - PacHell is what I had nick named this monopolistic purveyor of high-speed connectivity while waiting 8 weeks for my equipment to arrive. But now that it's installed, I have to say: it's a good connection for the money.

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 13:27:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joey - The company I worked for did business with Etrade, so I opened an account there. Man was I unimpressed. The site is always slow (even at the office where we had multiple T3s of connectivity!), sometimes you couldn't reach the site or login at all. Trades...

Underworld: Best Book of 1998!

Thu, 7 Oct 1999 13:23:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joey - Wow. Reading DeLillo's Underworld was like taking a TGV across the south of France with Arabic MTV blaring on the television, listening to Madonna sing pseudo-religious pop-songs over drum-and-bass on a minidiscman, drinking an Horchata, smoking a joint...
