rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - I am reviewing the UNIX 1000 package, not one of the NT ones. I am pointing that out because it appears as if Epinions may present it that way. Just wanted to make everything clear. Why would anyone host on NT anyway?

Google: I was a Search Engine Ho before I met Google

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 07:58:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - As an occasional freelance writer, website owner, editor and general net user I of course have a constant need for information, and there is only one way to dig for those lesser known facts; 'The Search Engine'.

Search Engines, everyone needs them,...

Superb

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - The original Baldur's Gate was a masterful game.

Windows Media Player: Give the Devil his due

Mon, 24 Jul 2000 06:41:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - I want to hate Microsoft I really do, they are the magpies of technology stealing (or buying) other peoples ideas. Often their original version is pitiful when compared to the product they stole from, but give them enough time and they always seem to end...

The nerd game for non-nerds

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 01:14:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - With the release of Diablo II I thought it might be interesting to do a quick review on the original, a game on most people's top ten most important, and playable, computer games.

The games major stregth is its simplicity. In terms of gameplay and...

Still Damn Fun - Kommanderr

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 00:23:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - There have, and will be, better looking games, games with better AI, games that are well just better. I doubt though there will ever be a game that is as fun to play the first day you take it out of the box as it is to play 3 years later. In longevity...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Cashing in on the huge money pit that Ebay quickly became, others entered the fray, one of the earliest was ubid, a site with an easy to remember name, a very different game plan and some assorted problems.

On ubid you are bidding against other...

eBay: Not the beast it used to be

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 00:20:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Ebay was one of those huge ideas that helped turn a niche into a billion dollar web industry. The concept was simple, let people who have stuff they no longer need or want sell it to other people who want it. Turn that old Monkey Skull in the attic into...

Decent free service

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - *Just an update as WorldSpy has effectively gone out of the Free ISP business, yet again proving there is no money in the concept of free (duh), they are offering a link to Juno and the ability to keep the old worldspy address as a forwarder to Juno...

Perfect Dentist Waiting Room Reading

Sun, 23 Apr 2000 02:55:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - I got a free subscription to Biography and at that price it was a steal! Seriously Biography is like the TV show it apes, good for what it is, but lacking any real depth.

The magazine covers a lot of bases and aims itself fairly middle-of-the-road...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - After too long dealing with an old refurbished pentium 166 Thinkpad, that had a dingy small screen, and couldn't display more than 256 colors at full screen size I decided to treat myself.

Ignored gem

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:01:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Billy Crystal, who has made his fair share of woefull movies, came of age with this offering. It was his project from start to finish, and it shows, it is a movie that projects his love and passion for the subject at every twist and turn.

It is a...

Give me Netscape every time.

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 05:59:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Anyone with even the most basic sense of justice has to hate the underhanded way Microsoft destroyed Netscape. To travel back in time to compare IE3 and Navigator3 shows how onesided the battle was, IE3 was horrible, Netscape was hitting their stride and...

No computer should be without it

Mon, 22 Nov 1999 01:47:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Lets face it most of the 'free' computer related products over the last year or so have in reality meant giving up freedom in some shape or another, you end up with an inferior product and limited freedom for your saved cash.

That is the way it is...

Stands the test of time.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Lets face it Cartoon Network is best speciality station on TV, why because you sense the people behind the scenes understand and love their product, you can't say the same about say the Sci-Fi channel. The Cartoon Network is not perfect but damn are they...

1 step from being the best.

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 06:02:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Oh Bravo is so close to being a genuine reason for living, the reason they are not is the fact for all their 'grown up' image, they still censor and slash great movies to an unwatchable form, and yet they are lopsided in the way they work, great...

A&E: More popular than art, but entertaining

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 05:53:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - I am British and A&E is one of those few stations that has no problem showing good British television so kudos for that, believe me I love to watch Cracker which was an excellent series, as was Touch of Frost. Don't even get me started on Monty...

Created the MTV generation; then abandoned them

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 05:44:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - OK all of us who are ripping apart MTV are open to the claim that we are out of the loop, that we don't get it. Well check out my site www.indiemonkey.com which unlike MTV is dedicated to helping expose new emerging artists who do not have the backing of...

Quality, but not perfect

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 03:18:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Of all the big ISP, Earthlink is probably number 1 in most catagories. They have an abundance of access numbers, have good connection speeds, offer excellent tech and billing support as well as offering extras such as webspace and an excellent magazine...

Still the best despite Microsofts attempts

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 02:07:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - The guy who claims to be a 'developer' and despises Netscape is probably not admitting that he is using MICROSOFT front page, which designs for IE and uses variations designed to throw Netscape. As a judge pointed out recently, Microsoft made it their...

It's NOT the Internet, but it is easy

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 01:33:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - AOL is huge, huge, huge. But it is not the Internet, it is not in any sense the freedom the Internet should stand for. They are not an Internet Service Provider, because they do not provide the Internet, they are instead an online service, when you...

Python for kids

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 22:58:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - Simply put this is Monty Python for kids, but there is plenty to amuse just about anyone who hasn't had their sense of humor surgicaly removed.

The plot centers around a group of dwarves, who work for God stealing a map that reveals time holes...

Sun, 7 Nov 1999 20:25:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - A real milestone in the history of the internet, ICQ took chat to a new dimension in the eyes of millions upon millions of users. The competition is little more than playing copy the leader and unless you have some kind of desperate need to be involved...
