Sat, 15 Jan 2000 05:15:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Almost everyone's heard about Ebay. A lot of people have also heard how it's down a lot (it isn't that often, but the nature of the site makes any downtimes bad.) In case some people aren't too sure what Ebay is exactly, let me explain.

Microsoft Windows 95: Sure it crashes, but it's good while it's running

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 16:12:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Disclaimer: I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft. I think they write shoddy code, shovel products out the door that are essentially betas and are the biggest marketing success of the century. (But not the biggest computing success, it's all about their...

Great all-around printer

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 04:59:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - I've had my Epson 640 for six months now, and have been extremely pleased with it. It replaced my older color inkjet, a Lexmark 150c, which died an early death due to too much printing. I chose this printer because I was not happy with the Lexmark,...

mIRC: Easy interface to a great place to chat!

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 04:29:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - mIRC is a great interface, or client in this case, to the Internet Relay Chat (IRC). I've read through a couple of reviews of this and have seen a couple that confuse the two, IRC and mIRC are two very different things. mIRC merely lets you get...

Horribly addicting and fun!

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 04:01:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Diablo came out a few years ago and some say it nearly single-handedly revived the Role-Playing Game (RPG) genre. With its simple interface and ease of use, it quickly became a favorite among gamers of all types. Playing Diablo is simple, if you can...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - I've been out there surfing the web back before Internet Explorer was even a gleam in Bill Gates' eye. I even remember when Netscape was called Mosaic. I used to be a die-hard Netscape user, but found myself using Internet Explorer more and more...

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 03:26:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Go!Zilla is a great concept, it allows you to download files handling disconnects/timeouts/etc. without any extra input from you. Using it can be quite simple, you can even chose to have it integrate itself so that Go!Zilla launches whenever you click...

Hotmail: Not as good as it used to be

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 17:26:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Hotmail was the first web-based E-mail service out there. It used to be great with an easy interface, quick-loading pages and lots of options (such as creating folders to store messages in, etc.) While it still has those options, its age is starting to...

Great Storage, Poor Construction

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 23:21:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - I originally got my Parallel Port Zip Drive back about 4 year ago. About a year after that, I was checking some cable connections on the back of my PC and the drive (which sat on top of it) fell off. If only feel a little over a foot, onto padded...

Thorough System Utilities

Thu, 30 Dec 1999 04:13:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Norton Utilities are a great addition to any system. Norton's disk defragmenter and scandisk alone make this package worth the purchase price. While the version of Disk Defragmenter and Scandisk that come with Windows 95 get the job done, Norton's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - I've had my JVC XL-F254BK CD player for several months now and have been very pleased with it. It's simple to use, and easy to set up. This model has a 5 disc carousel tray to put your CDs in, and each one is numbered so you can easily tell what disc...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Having lived with my Yamaha 4416s for most of a year now, I can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top quality CD recorder. This model has a SCSI2 connection, is internal and does 4x burns, 4x rewrites and 16x reads. Since Yamaha has...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - Princess Mononoke is an incredible movie. It combines traditional cel-based animation with CGI sequences flawlessly to create an astonishing visual impact. There are times when you cannot tell the movie is animated, the forest looks like it's real!...

This world is full of cheese

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 20:22:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kevins10 - As a rule I enjoy James Bond Movies. Lots of incredible chase sequences, cool gadgets, beautiful women, daring escapes and plans. The World is Not Enough doesn't deliver as expected. The chase sequences are great, but I left the theater feeling that...
