AMD Athlon XP Processor 1800+: Smart computer users use AMD.

Tue, 1 Oct 2002 21:14:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - AMD Athlon XP+ line is a great, great chip. It's built on the same x86 platform as Intel's pentium, which because of it's popularity sets the standard for the computer world. AMD has finally started letting the computer world know what chip makers have...

Stylus 860, best value available.

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 04:17:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Well, I stole this printer from my mom when I went away to college. Don't tell her though, or the insurance might not come through. Sorry, I'm in a goofy mood, but I'll try to keep this on topic. This printer has been great for the year and a half...

AskJeeves: I asked Jeeves, and he ain't talking.

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 02:54:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Well, you have to admit, it's a good idea. Wouldn't we all love it if computers were just a little more plain-language fluent? That's why I used to use Ask Jeeves. I likes just asking a simple question and getting a direct answer. But, sometimes...

Adsenger: Adsenger has potential, but.....

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 02:18:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - I only recently signed up with Adsenger, but here's what I've figured out so far. First of all, it's not going to suck up your resources like most of the other "paid to surf" programs. There is no ad bar to deal with, so it won't eat up your desktop...

First used car I didn't regret.

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 17:00:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - I've owned a few used cars in my time, and I always end up getting the same thing. Someone else's problems. For one example, view my rating of the Ford Tempo. But this car has been different. My sister and I both own sundances and they've both been...

Go Network Search: The search engine formerly known as...

Thu, 5 Oct 2000 02:28:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Well, I started using this search engine back when it was infoseek. I must be getting old. But seriously, this is and always has been my favorite search engine on the net.

The one thing that I think really sets GO apart from other search...

Instantly a favorite.

Tue, 3 Oct 2000 02:48:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - There are a few things that will get me excited about a movie. One is if it's about football. Another is if it's got Denzel Washington in it, since he's my favorite actor. Third is if it's got at least a little bit of humor to it, because serious...

Awesome.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 17:59:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - There aren't many people who are going to know the difference between the Premier P6000, and a cheaper head unit. Both those who do will appreciate what this thing really has to offer.

You want a detachable face for security? It has that...

3Dfx Voodoo3 3000: Top of the line.

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 05:33:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - I built my own computer recently, and after talking to basically every computer guy I could find, I decided the Voodoo3 3000 was the card for me. Believe me, I wasn't disappointed.

16 megs of video RAM make for smooth, extremely fast graphic...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Size DOES matter.

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 05:01:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - The size of the marble on this thing makes it much, much easier to use than a normal mouse or other trackballs. It's more smooth, more accurate, and just flat-out better.

And the two accessory buttons are convenient because, on mine for...

Hit me baby....Hmmm, tempting.

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 04:13:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Well, I'm not one to hit a woman, but she keeps insisting. And if it'd get her to stop singing.... Maybe just this once.

Yet another in a long line of ultra-catchy, watered down, carbon copied, un-imaginative acts, Britney only has one...

Saw this with my girlfriend

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 05:32:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - If you're looking for a movie that'll keep you interested the whole time, and give you a great conversation topic on your way home, this is the one for you. There are so many things in this movie worth discussing. And the best part is it doesn't just...

Creed: They've got something most bands don't

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 18:42:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Bands today will do anything to get their music played. That's why almost every band out there is a carbon copy of a successful band of a few years ago. The rare band that doesn't sell out and actually writes what they want usually turns out some...

Aguilera, Christina: One thing going against her.

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 17:42:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Believe it or not, the biggest thing that Aguilera has going against her is her body. She has a lot of talent, and good song writers and could really have a nice career. But because of the fact that she's drop dead gorgeous, she's going to have to work...

Enjoy them while they last

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 17:11:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - They exploded onto the scene with the release of Whatever but I wouldn't expect them to get a lot more airplay after this. These guys have "underground" written all over them.

They've got a good sound, in the style of Alice in...

Totally kick ass

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 16:59:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Blink 182 is one of those groups that you can just pop a cd in of theirs and hit repeat and be happy for weeks. Not like a lot of groups where they'll have one or two good songs on the CD and the rest sucks. And not one of those where you listen to it...

The crown jewel of cleveland

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 16:40:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - I've been to the Jake for playoff games, world series games, regular season games, and all star games. And the weird thing is the attitude there never seems to change. The fans are always charged up and into the games, whether they're the most...

Wish I'd gone to band camp

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 08:41:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Wow. What can I say about this movie? It pushed the limits, and when it got bored pushing them, it just slapped them around a bit. Then it kicked them... You get my point.

This was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, but it's...

Stone, Pacino, and Football. What more can you ask for?

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 08:32:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Pacino is convincing as an NFL coach, which was my only concern going in. I didn't think he could pull it off. Cameron Diaz is believable but not spectacular as a cold, football-obsessed owner. Jamie Fox put in some work in the weight room and it...

Another oscar for Tom hanks

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 08:18:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - See this movie. But only see it once. The first time through, I was glued to the screen. I was drawn into the story and captivated by a great plot and terrific acting. The second time through the three hours dragged a little more because I already...

My nephew loves it, and so do I!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 07:42:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - The last time I babysat my nephew, I popped in this tape. Not because he wanted to see it but because I did.

That's what makes this different from all the other kids shows out there that get really old after a while. Big Idea throws in...

No complaints here!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 07:11:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - I've been on a few ISPs over the past couple of years, and so far this one's my favorite. A friend of mine will be starting his own small local service soon and I'll switch to that, but I have no complaints with Prodigy.

They're certainly...

Hornsby'sPub Draft Cider: Yea baby, yea!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 06:50:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Well, it's not exactly beer, but it's close enough. It's got everything beer has except for the taste, and who's really going to miss that? Hornsby actually tastes GOOD. As in I'd drink it, even if it wasn't alcoholic. Just like the name says, it...

The Beast Lives!

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 06:38:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Ok. I know it's got a reputation for being bad but there is a way around this. Let me start off by saying that YES this beer is terrible. It's the cheapest beer in the store for a reason.

But on the other hand, it IS the cheapest beer in...

What's the M stand for?

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 05:07:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jplas - Hmm... Any guesses as to what the M might stand for? I turned my TV to 25 the other day and I see the real world. Not interested, so I found something else to watch. Later, during another break, I switched back to 25 and saw road rules, nah, not for...
