Pagoo: I love it...BUT

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 07:02:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I discovered Pagoo at the mypoints.com website. Originally I tried it just for the mypoints. I had been paying for a pager so my friends could reach me when I was online. Pagoo was cheaper so I decided to give it serious consideration. My feelings so...

Alta: Brutally honest commercial!

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 04:08:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - So far, I like this commercial the best. It's brutally honest, shows the business for what it is, and documents it with video! THIS is what Epinions is about; brutal honesty!

This is the type of commercial that I think will attract the...

Breast Pump: Now that's a new twist!

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:57:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - This one is a stroke of genius. It's the small twists that make it great. The cat looking longingly at the bottle. The pizza man with his quizzical look as he holds the pump. Absolute genius!

It's straight forward, yet approaches a touchy...

Tent: Would make a better commercial for the tent than Epinions

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:42:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I guess the title tells it all. I think it shows an excellent and highly convincing test for the tent itself and would make a great commercial for the manufacturer. It doesn't, however, give much of a clue about what Epinions is all about.

iMac: Shock value grabs attention and a gun is just a tool

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 03:33:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - How many of you have had a particular appliance give you so much trouble that you wanted to smash it? To take out your frustrations on it? I know I have. In fact I had a cassette deck when I was a teen that always ate tapes. It ate an irreplaceable tape...

Microsoft FrontPage 2000: the good, the bad and the ugly

Tue, 21 Dec 1999 18:32:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I bought this program with high hopes. I had intended on using it for creating a commercial website with full shopping cart, credit card processing, etc. While I'm computer literate, I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to creating web based ecommerce...

comfortable atmosphere, great location, not much else

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 21:34:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I've never stayed at the Flamingo, though I've spent a lot of time there over the years.

The casino is small, unpretentious, comfortable and fun. It does lack variety, excitement and shopping though. The real charm lies in the gardens, a...

great shows and restaurants, not much casino

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 21:14:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - The IP is another Vegas casino that I have a love/hate relationship with.

They have some fine restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ming Palace and the seafood restaurant. Their 24 hour cafe is pretty good too.

Their Legends in...

A stunning work of art!

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 20:54:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - The Luxor will blow you away just looking at it from the outside! Once you step inside, it's even more intense. I was more impressed with this casino for the architecture than about anything else, though it definately had it all. The fascinating egyptian...

Desert Inn: Not much to offer, but sometimes that's the appeal

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 20:23:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I've played my share at Desert Inn way back when. It's lost its appeal to me since. It was a nice quiet place to play a few slots or table games. Never much of a crowd. That's also its main downfall; no action!

My parents always loved the...

Circus Circus: Tops for families

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 20:09:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - Circus Circus was the first placed I ever stayed in Vegas. I've had an ongoing love/hate relationship with it every since. Not to mention a few interesting personal traditions because of it.

First off let me say that this is one of the best...

Stagnant relic of the past

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 19:50:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - It's a shame because I like the Stardust, but since my first trip there in the middle '80's, it's always felt stagnant. Like a relic from the old glory days of Vegas.

I still go there and play for a while, but I soon grow bored and leave. The...

Now THIS is Vegas...Hail Caesar!

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 19:31:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - To me, Caesar's Palace epitomizes the true Vegas experience. It's opulent and grand, dynamic and exciting. While not as visually spectacular as the newer megaresort casinos, it has always managed to hold its own and keep its feel. Some of the newer...

great for families but short on activities

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 07:06:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I've been travelling to Vegas for many years, one day hoping to spend New Years there. I got my chance on New Years of '95. Having always been a fan of things medieval, I decided to spend my stay at Excalibur. While it's a disappointment to anyone...

Outstanding!

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 04:24:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - Outstanding is the word that best comes to mind when describing my experience with the Vegas Hilton. In all my years of visiting Vegas, I had never even considered staying there, nor had I visited it. I didn't know what I was missing.

Every...

Westward Ho: I'm surprised it can compete!

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 03:43:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author msk - Personally, I love Westward Ho. It's one place I visit every single time I go to Vegas. It's a small, dark place that's always crowded. It definately has a different feel than any other place on the strip or downtown. The slots are tons of fun and...

Pegasus Mail: Very good program, some bugs though

Mon, 20 Dec 1999 02:34:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I've used Pegasus email client on Windows based systems for years. My main reason then was it's ease of use and since it's freeware, well it was an easy choice. I now use it as the main email program for a small online business I run on the side. It has...

mIRC: Best IRC client out there!

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 20:43:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - Whenever I hear AOLers try to convince people how good AOL's chatrooms are, I always know they have no real experience with the internet and especially with IRC. IRC, internet relay chat, is a realtime chat environment that you are in full control of...

AOL Instant Messenger: fun software, many uses

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 19:27:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - While I think there are many uses for AIM, I really only use it to keep in touch with the few of my friends on AOL who haven't wised up and left yet.

I don't much care for ICQ and chat software of that type. I do my chatting on IRC. I'm...

great idea, fun products

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 18:54:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I love QVC. I just don't have much time for TV anymore. When I did, I often checked them out just to see what unique items they had for sale. Their prices are good sometimes, but usually nothing you can't beat by shopping around. What they do have,...

Great place to visit but be prepared

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:40:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - San Diego has everything you'd expect a large city to have. It's also more manageable than most. You don't have to drive half a day between attractions. The people are relatively friendly for a large city.

Home to some very fine beaches, San...

Nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:24:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - I really enjoyed La Jolla, not only for its shops and beaches but for the museums. Especially the aquatic museum. While the locals can be a bit snobbish, the shop and museum personel are friendly and helpful.

While you're there, check out the...

it's worth the visit, especially for kids

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:13:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author msk - While I have a thing against animals in captivity and most zoo's in general, I really like the San Diego Zoo. The animals are well cared for by a very professional and knowledgeable staff. They appear happy and well adjusted. I especially loved the...

talk about a nightmare!

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 03:34:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author msk - My one and only experience with Delta Airlines is one that I'll never forget...unfortunately. This was back in the early 1980's. The flight was round trip from El Paso, Tx to Portland, Or.

The flight was late getting off the ground. I don't...

FreeLotto: Here's hoping!

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 00:47:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author msk - Freelotto is fun, if nothing else. You simply go there daily and pick your lotto numbers then click on one of their banner ads to submit your numbers and visit the sponsor site.

They appear legit in that they've apparently had actual winners...
