Filling a Rush Void

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 09:20:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - I'll admit it. As a die-hard Rush fan, I was longing for news that a new album was forthcoming. After all, Rush's last album was their 1996 release Test for Echo. So, when news hit the internet that Geddy Lee (bass player and vocalist for Rush)...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - So, you say you want to buy your first table saw?

Let It Rip, Zip and Whatever else you can think of!

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 16:12:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - As someone who enjoys building things with wood, I always find myself needing bigger and better power tools. With the Rotozip, I've now learned that bigger is not always better.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - Have you ever just flipped through radio stations, searching for a song you like only to be frustrated by commercials and songs you just don't like? Well, launch.com has put an end to that. I found the site through a banner ad on another site and have...

If you're Going to Cable, Go Digital

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 13:04:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - We moved into a new house last July and were faced with several months of not having cable television simply because we moved into an area that had not been wired. Once Adelphia got their act together, we opted to get suckered into their digital cable...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - I've been using Turbo Tax for the last 3 years and couldn't be happier with it. I use it to prepare my own return as well as a few family members. Each year, they have managed to improve on a very well designed and easy to use product.

FreeRide.com: Chalk up another Internet Casualty

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 13:59:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - Just updating my original opinion that appears below. About six months ago I stopped using FreeRide when they switched to a "lottery" for winning things. On a whim, I checked their website to find they appear to be no more. Oh well, it was an OK ride...

Etour: Simple and Un-Obtrusive

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 11:53:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - This is a great concept. A random web-site that matches your interests delivered to your browser every time you access the internet. And, you earn gift certificates for doing essentially nothing.

I first signed on with eTour when it was...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - I joined the MyPoints program so long ago, that I can't even remember how long I've been a member. One of the great things about this program is that you have the ability to control how many or few points you will earn. Points are redeemable for gift...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - From the majestic elms lining the "mall" in front of old main to the Nittany Lion Statue nestled among the pine trees outside of Rec Hall, Penn State's University Park Campus is a great place to just wander around aimlessly.

To an...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - Finally, a kids program that won't drive parents nuts! Our two children, aged 6 and 4, love this show. They enjoy interacting with Steve and Blue, often responding correctly to Steve's questions. Unlike Barney, there is no exaggerated acting or...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - If you consider yourself a true baseball fan and haven't been to Boston, then what are you waiting for? I've been fortunate enough to hit Fenway park three times during the course of my travels for business. Each time, I stood in awe of the Green...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - About a year and a half ago, we purchased two new toys that we had never seen before for our then 2 1/2 year old son. Little did we know that one spur of the moment purchase would lead to so many hours of enjoyment. The toys we bought were two of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - Among the early internet ISP providers (AOL, Prodigy & Compuserve), AOL clearly stood head and shoulders above for its ease of use and simple way of introducing the internet to the non-technical, new computer user. Having used all three services at...

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 10:00:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - I got this CD for free through a rebate offer. But, it is well worth any price. As my first introduction to the "You Don't Know Jack" series, I found I couldn't stop playing. The whole game show approach is very appealing. Don't skip...

Rush: Casual Listeners Beware

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 14:45:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rossim - Rush is a band that many casual listeners had written off long ago. Geddy Lee's screeching vocals, Alex Lifeson's blazing guitar licks and Neil Peart's flamboyant and technical drumming are often too much for the casual listener to bear. Rush's fan...
