Macromedia Flash 5: Flash takes one step closer to perfection...

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 14:29:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - I've been using Flash for years (since version 2.0) and was thrilled by the latest release of Macromedia's mass-market web animation tool. They seemed to have gotten with the program and added some of the most-requested features into Flash 5 that people...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - There comes a time in every person's life when you've got to grow up. I swore for years I would NEVER own a sedan. At 27, considering a family in the next couple of years and the need to be able to take more than one other person out to dinner,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - The phone rings... it's your {insert relative who talks a bunch here} wanting to discuss the latest news about {insert topic here} but you're 5 minutes from the end of a movie on cable you've been waiting to see. Hit the pause button, chat away, then...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - My 2000 Z3 2.3 was my introduction to the world of owning one of Germany's finest. I wasn't looking for a fast car - at the time my other vehicle was a 1998 Camaro SS Convertible with over 300 HP. I simply wanted something small, dependable and fun to...

The SUV for Non-SUV People (Updated 4/25)

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 01:50:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - [See Update At Bottom]

I am not a truck person, by any stretch of the imagination. I prefer smaller cars (I have a 2000 Z3 and a 2001 330i) and always found trucks/SUVs too bulk and unresponsive to even consider going in that direction...

Shoulda went with UPN...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - I'll start by admitting I'm a fan of Kevin Smith's work, so I'm apt to be biased. Barring the watering-down of the Clerks world for broadcast TV, the shows are a riot.

The DVD is a double disc set - extras include a running commentary with...

SSX for PlayStation 2: Why haven't you bought this already?

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 00:31:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - SSX is addictive - period. It's a well-rounded game that just about anyone (even my game-impaired girlfriend) can get into. The game is incredible easy to learn, but at the same time is a challenge to master. The graphics are awesome - the...

Bigger is Better....

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - I consider myself a DVD freak (350+ movies and climbing), so when it came time to upgrade my home theater system, an HD set was an imperative. I shudder at the "this movie has been formatted to fit your TV" messages, but a 2.35:1 letterbox movie just...

Perfect Weapon for the Mobile Warrior

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 02:59:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - Let me start off by saying I've always liked the Vaio notebook line - I've had a 505, a FX-180 and jumped on the SR5K as soon as it was released.

The biggest downside to the SR5K is the lack of any bundled hardware. Even the 3.5" FD is...

Not Ready for Prime Time

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 02:20:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ryanitv - My problems started when, for whatever reason, I ended up with duplicate, identical accounts opened when I signed up. I requested that the erroneous account be removed/closed and the funds transferred into the primary account. Two days later, I...
