Thu, 27 Jul 2000 19:09:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - While the Touchpoint phone is a bit bulky to carry around, the functionality of the phone make it worth while. If size of the phone is your #1 requirement when purchasing a cell phone, this is not the phone for you. If you don't mind a bit of a bulkier...

OK service but you got to hear this

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - We have used FlashNet while living in Chicago, SF, and LA. The LA ISP service is flaky. In other words it is down 15% of the time which is very frustrating. However, I downloaded Net Zero so now I just use them when FlashNet is down (yet NetZero has that...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - Another horror story with Microworkz.

We bought the low level Webster Jr. for $300 plus $75 shipping. I thought wow, what a deal, $300 plus one yr free of ISP service from Earthlink. Then the troubles began. We opened up the computer and it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - This is truly the greatest place to visit in South America. This is the only place where you can still see a country with a predominately Indian population. The people are genuinely kind. Must See places include:

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Much better than the Sattelite series but . . .

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 20:46:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - I previously had a Toshiba Sattelite 4060 CDT, but have upgraded to the Terca 8000. There is no comparison between the 2, the 8000 blows the 4060 away. However, the 8000 still is not half as reliable as a desktop with the same horsepower.

1. Lack of Rear visibility

Cingular Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: Terrible service, but still better than the Competition

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:02:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - We have used PAC BELL wireless for some time now. We used while living in San Francisco and Los Angeles. First, the customer service is nothing to cheer about. The only reason we went with Pac Bell was that THEY WERE THE ONLY WIRELESS SERVICE THAT...

Yahoo! Mail: No better than any other free email service

Thu, 11 Nov 1999 15:53:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - Now a days, you can get free email everywhere. The services don't vary that much but this is what I would look for.

1. Disk space. Yahoo only gives you 3 MB which means you must clear your trash folder quite often.

2. Address book -...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kentrent - I have used Priceline about 5 times and have found their AIRLINE services to be excellent assuming you have flexibility. As you probably already know, you can only specify the date you want to leave (you can't specify the time of your flight). With that...
