For the longest time I wanted to be good at them but to put it bluntly, I sucked at them. Maybe it was my aversion to using the brakes, maybe it was the fact that I learned how to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137567964804 Wed, 21 Apr 2004 18:23:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137567964804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131724512900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rice75 - When Ultima Online was released it was like a dream come true for me. I had always dreamed of a computer game where a persistent world existed and I could role-play as a noble paladin, living in a fantasy world, slaying dragons and hording treasure.

Maybe I'm not a critical reviewer with an unbiased opinion. It could be that since I do extensive research before I make any big purchases I don&#146;t make too many mistakes. I certainly didn&#146;t do my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~130625474180 Sat, 21 Feb 2004 13:48:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_130625474180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_128443977348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rice75 - &#147Where have you been all my life?&#148 That was the first thing I thought as I plugged in my new Game Boy Advance SP after Santa was gracious enough to bring me one this past Christmas.

Sure, one of the best games ever may be a good game to go out on, but I always wanted to get back to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127843208836 Wed, 28 Jan 2004 20:57:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127843208836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_123557809796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rice75 - Viewtiful Joe came in at #2 on my Top 5 Gamecube games of 2003 (Coming Soon!).

It is truly a great piece of electronic and photographic equipment and I want to give it the detail it deserves.

While the end of the road for CRT monitors isn&#146t in sight, it can&#146t be too far off. With prices coming down on all types of flat screen LCDs, the end is inevitable.

On one hand, it is not powerful enough to be a desktop replacement, but on the other hand, it is not slim and light enough to be great for travel.
