Fri, 21 Jun 2002 16:59:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - My copy of Microsoft Outlook came with the MS Office suite that I bought last year.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - Audiogalaxy is a small, plain and relatively featureless tool to download music (that's MP3's) from music fanatics such as myself. I began using it as a replacement for Napster, after I lost track of all its legal proceedings. It served my purpose...

Sat, 17 Nov 2001 06:56:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - Call me silly for using a get-paid-to-surf program now, but I had heard from trusted sources --- not just random people soliciting referrals --- that Paybar actually does pay.

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 16:26:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - I must admit that, up until yesterday, I had never shopped anywhere online except for Amazon.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - As I sit here writing this epinion, a banner advertisement is flashing, literally shaking, infront of me.

Scary, isn't it?

But how? You're pretty...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author navinthebean - NetFlip is similar to programs like MemoLink and MyPoints, but they don’t confuse with points to be redeemed as gift certificates.
