Thu, 26 Oct 2000 04:26:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - I've lost count of the times where I've come across a website that takes an age to load up, only to discover the reason being the webmaster hasn't optimised (or maybe not knowing how to) their images.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - The Sword and The Sorcerer is a fantasy fuelled adventure, much in the same vein as 'Red Sonja', 'Conan' and 'Krull'. In the mid-eighties, as a mere nipper only could, I regarded it as “The bestest film ever made”. Filled with a majestic hero, an...

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 06:46:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - Two months ago I purchased the Rio 500 MP3 player and it has proven to be an excellent choice.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - She's so lucky, she's a star

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author robertopaul - Only as I sit at this iMac using its one-button circular mouse do I begin to form a real sense of appreciation for how well-designed and intuitive Microsoft's Intellimouse is.
