Microsoft does it again, Office is getting better

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 01:38:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - Office XP is more a remodel than a rebuild. They have really excelled in their goal to bring all the most used features less clicks away, and by tidying up the user interface and menus quite a bit.

Many of the functions have stayed the same,...

The Fluval 304, excellent bang for the buck

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 00:58:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - Hi Folks,

I must tell you first my background, I have been in the aquarium hobby for about 3 years now, and I have been thru thick and thin with filtration systems, pretty much tried them all, thinking I don't need anything as big and bulky as...

Another typical symantec product

Mon, 21 Apr 2003 21:27:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - This software is an absolute waste of time, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. First of all, it is a system bottleneck in itself, it is a resource hog, it deletes certain important system files, in basic computer installations, it does help somewhat,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - This multi-tool is the next best thing since processed cheese, its got everything you could possibly want and more in one tight little package.

This marvel has a straight blade, serrated blade, saw, file, flat head screwdriver, phillips head...

Vegas Video, the easiest way to edit your flicks

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 20:11:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - How many times has this happened to you. You go out and get a nice top end video capture card, and you take it home, install it, plug in the software, and then try to use it. Chances are you would get something like Premiere 6.0, or Mediastudio Pro...

Office XP, Wave of the Future?

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 03:11:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - Welcome to the realm of Office XP. If you are familiar with the previous versions of the Office suite, then you know how to use the programs included already.

Whats different you may ask?

Well like I say, every program ties into...

Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum: Go Pro, or not to go pro, that is the question

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 07:05:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - The Sound Blaster Live Platinum 5.1, a card not designed for the casual gamer, or the one that listens only to MP3s wishing they could actually record, master, and then play back themselves. Sure there is another card in the line for that......the...

HP Scanjet 4300CSE, money in the bank

Sun, 12 Aug 2001 22:14:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - This scanner is money in the bank.....you have decent resolutions (600x1200), very good software package (although a little on the large side after install, its very much worth the while), and has features that most of the other scanners in its league...

Welcome to the new legal high

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 17:10:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - This machine was a heaven sent. I find myself labelling everything, even the kitchen sink :)

The unit comes in a couple stylish colors (green, grape, and another one which I haven't yet seen)

My only gripes are the batteries, the...

Pioneer's KEH-P4800 good enough for me

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 16:48:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - I have installed this same deck into my Subaru station wagon, and it was really nice. For the price paid, it has really good quality sound (for those who say the bass response is lacking, it depends on how the bass levels were originally recorded on the...

DVD in a car??the world is over

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 16:25:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - Welcome to the world of MVAs.....I digress from the original topic here to bring on a snippet of true reality. I know that many people would not be dumb enough to actually watch and pay attention to their favorite DVD movie while driving, but then some...

The miracle elixir

Wed, 7 Mar 2001 05:24:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - This product really works at clearing up your water, but it depends on what kind of condition the water is really in.....

What I mean by this is that the solution doesn't replace the need of changing your water at regular intervals. If you...

Kodak DC210 Plus

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 19:23:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - I have had this camera for over a year already, and I must say I am surprised with the results......

On the other hand, I think this camera needs some design modifications.......firstly, I think a lens cap or some sort of lens cover is...

Ericcson - still connecting people well

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 17:08:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - I was looking for a cel phone, nothing special, nothing too loaded with energy robbing features, nothing too big, nothing to small.........Something that was JUST RIGHT.

I walked into my place of employ armed with $100 well earned bucks,...

Why 5?

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 08:42:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - I am a proud owner of a Trek Y-5. I used to work at a bike store, so I managed to pick this gem up for a good deal.

Gripes, well like I said, the wheels suck, I managed to square the hoops after one week of riding, and they will never stay...

Avital Hurricane 2

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 07:56:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - I have this unit installed in 2 vechicles. One a Honda Civic, and the other a Subaru GL-10 Station wagon. I must say that it was a breeze to install in both cars, well all but the door triggers in the Civic.

If you do self installs, I would...

Windows 2000 - Money in the bank or bust

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 06:09:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mcmiral - One day, I was browsing the software isles in the local computer shop and I stumbled across Windows 2000 Pro. Like a lot of people, I like to keep my computer up to date as much as possible, and would pay anything to keep it that way. I took a while...
