Gives You More than Other Methods

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 12:03:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author muy - I don't like test prep in general, but the Princeton Review has great courses, for this reason: they don't just throw practice exercises at you, they teach you methods and tips that apply regardless of the question (e.g., various ways to solve a math...

Igive.com: itry to iGive

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 19:48:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author muy - I love the idea behind it. The idealism, the purpose...in short, the reason why it exists.

I found iGive through a link at Artists Against Racism and wish there was more advertising for these kinds of charitable referral programs out there,...

SFNB Delivers

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 19:18:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author muy - Security First Network Bank is a full-fledged, albeit virtually located, bank, with one of the highest (if not the highest) interest rates available for checking accounts.

Agreed: Great Coffeemaker

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 19:04:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author muy - It feels a little odd to me to endorse a coffee maker product because I write about coffee and tea all the time for About.com, so I've been trying to stay neutral on such items.

This Capresso Thermal maker is appropriately named, though, and...

Microsoft Publisher 2000: Simple All Around

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 16:21:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author muy - Publisher is a good program for its ease of use, professional appearance, and the fact that a few outside printers, like Kinko's, will print Publisher files.

The controls and ability to move objects around, resize, insert graphics, etc. are...

Inexpensive but Newer Models are Better

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 15:56:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author muy - At the time that this printer first came out, it had break-through, very highly rated quality.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author muy - I received this cd-rw as a gift a while ago, after the gift-giver saw all good reviews on it.

For the first few months, the cd-rw was hassle free, although there were some annoying things about the rewriter:

-- software was a pain...

Best inkjet ever

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 15:11:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author muy - I've seen a lot of inkjet printers, having run through four already in the last 6 years: I'm always looking for great quality printouts because I work in the design biz.

The HP 970Cse is the best printer I've ever owned. It's quiet, it's fast,...
