Mon, 19 Nov 2001 00:43:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - Spongebob Squarepants is my fix which replaced my Ren & Stimpy habit. Spongebob lives in Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. The fact that his house is a Pineapple and his girlfriend (Sandy) is a squirrel who lives underwater with him (in...

Microsoft Visio 2000: Visions of Visio....

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 02:27:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - OK. So this company was bought out by Microsoft. I assume next this functionality will be integrated into the operating system. Anyhow, I recently upgraded from Visio 4 to Visio 2000 and I'm much happier now. This review of Visio 2k will address 1.)...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - My company made it a policy to install a personal firewall appliance for all who access the network from remote or who are mobile users. The recommendation was to install Symantec Desktop Firewall (SDF). It, to me, was more than a recommendation since...

Push the Button!

Wed, 7 Nov 2001 19:31:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - Even though all the CD's on the web and at stores say that Newcleus' music was created in the mid 90's I know that to be false. I was living in Rockford, Ill. time and was getting paid by my school (Keith Country Day School) along with my brother and...

Microsoft NetMeeting: Telecommuting and Off-site collaboration/presentations

Sun, 28 Oct 2001 01:23:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - Being on salary is a challenge. It means I am tied to performance and not just being a warm body present for a set amount of time. It means I have to get things done and done correctly the first time. It ultimately means I have to work more than 40...

My "Remedy" pants have a Peregrine logo on the back now....

Tue, 21 Aug 2001 18:55:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - I find it extremely amusing that the Remedy Corporation was bought out by Peregrine; the big boys of call tracking systems. That's reminiscent of Microsoft's tactics...ooops! Did I just say that? What a deliberate Freudian slip.

I've had 4...

Jack of All Trades

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 23:38:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - I'll admit it. The most enjoyable part of my wife picking up landscaping as a hobby is that I get to play with more toys (testosterone translation: tools). She has magazine subscriptions for gardening. She watches the Gardening Channel on TV...

Good Teeth, Poor Grip, Loosens with Use

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 21:27:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - Garden Claw Gold (GCG). Sounds like a premium tool eh? I can say that it does what it is intended to do pretty well. If you have to do more than 10 minutes of work with this tool your phalanges (finger bones) will regret it!

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 10:51:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - The Legend of John Shaft. Songs were sung in his praise. A cultural icon of his times for Black men. A maverick cop whose unorthodox methods worked where others failed. It ain't easy trying to live up to a legend. Samuel L. Jackson is an...

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 01:09:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - The History Channel (THC) runs programs all-day and all-night. I was hipped to this channel one night, as I was channel surfing late last year.

I think it's missing the bag of chips...

Sat, 17 Mar 2001 01:38:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - You may have heard of the phrase "All that and a bag o' chips!" While Smith & Wollensky's may be all that it is definitely missing the "bag o' chips." Now, this is not a shoddy establishment by any stretch of the imagination.

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 01:23:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - I will try not to be verbose about something which is extremely simple: this Tap 'n Turn Bench. We received this gift from our wonderfully fleet-footed UPS delivery men; who always seem to make it back to their truck before you answer the door. The...

Thu, 25 Jan 2001 03:03:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - 3 words: Ten dollar ISP. With tax, I still pay under $11. It's just as fast as any other local ISP I've tried throughout Texas. As Internet Service Providers go, Everyone's Internet is not selling bells and whistles. They sell a really good price...

My brother's Superman impression.....

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 22:52:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - This is gonna be a long story but it amusing. Finally, Epinions has included a category for non-suspension mountain bikes. This review is actually about a '95 model, but they only go back to '98 in this category.

Sun, 29 Oct 2000 04:57:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author myoptical - I say that because many of the known issues with Microsoft's products are known to experienced End Users, support staff and the likes of programmers. Attempting to walk someone through all the fixes and general maintenance over the phone or in person is...
