rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - ...you are willing to go into the class wanting test taking tips, not necessarily sharpening your math and verbal skills.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - Living in the middle of Manhattan and not owning a car is not good on your golf game. This year, I have re-dedicated myself to improving my game, much like I used to do when I could take a quick drive over to the course during my summers on Cape Cod...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - Oh, to be sixteen again. Alright, maybe I don’t necessarily want that, but it was a fun, fun time. Of course, growing up in a small Connecticut town, there was fun to be had, just not in the immediate vicinity. I suppose it was an enviable position...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - I recently purchased a Kyocera Smartphone, the first day available actually, because I've been waiting for someone to finally combine the two devices that seemingly everyone has and uses together- a mobile phone and a PDA. I was impressed by the e-mail...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - I recently purchased a Blackberry organizer after having a Palm III for a couple of years, and after trying out the Kyocera SmartPhone. The Blackberry has it all, is easy to set up and use, and makes my life easier.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - I enjoy taking pictures of family and friends on special occasions, and of just about everything when I’m traveling. Aside from that, I rarely lug a camera around for no reason at all. I received the Canon Elph Power Shot 100 Digital camera for a...

Avantgo: All you can handle, brother!

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 22:35:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - That's right. The runner up title was All The News That's Fit To Print, er, Be Formated On Your Handheld Screen, but that didn't truly reflect the tremendous scope of all things handheld. AvantGo is a simple software that you download onto your...

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 12:45:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - I have been selling my brain for several months now. It has been both profitable and painless, and my brain has grown larger in the process. The buyers always refuse physical delivery- they're just interested in tapping into the part of my brain where...

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 17:08:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcgurk - Newer is not necessarily better, and just think back to when Coca Cola introduced New Coke, and then brought back the old Classic. Pimlico Software has a gem in DateBk3, so much of a gem the Handspring has licensed it to put in their Visors as their...
