Mon, 10 Dec 2001 15:01:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shag - Sprint PCS is a horrible company with outrageously poor customer service. Although I have a litany of issues, I will only write about two of them that exemplify Sprint's behavior.

First, after owning a Sprint cell phone for about six months...

Solid, No Frills Player

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 12:09:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shag - The Panasonic A120 DVD player is a good product because it is well designed. It has a number of features to maximize the quality of audio and video given the existing (or lack of) home theater components. In addition, Panasonic has mercifully spared us...

Vega, Smega!

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 23:34:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shag - After many years, I finally had enough money to buy a "real" tv to replace my 20" Panasonic. Given the size of my living room, a direct view 32" screen seemed a good candidate. I didn't want "HDTV ready" (it's too far away...

Tue, 9 Nov 1999 21:21:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shag - Windows NT is an operating system that generates considerable emotion and opinion from those who claim to be “computer experts”. Many such remarks tend to be heavy on feeling and light on fact. NT, like most software, has some strong features and some...

Funny, Informative, and Inspirational

Sat, 6 Nov 1999 00:02:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shag - A key point regarding "A Walk in the Woods" is that its a very funny story. Much of the humor is derived from a fish out of water situation. Bryson (the author) decides to hike the length of the Appalachian Trail and enlists his fried Katz as...

A Modern Masterpiece

Fri, 5 Nov 1999 20:02:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shag - Rock and rap have had a dysfunctional relationship for many years. Some bands have tried combining the two (Anthrax and Public Enemy, Biohazard and Onyx come to mind) but none would fully commit to a fusion of the different styles. That is until rage...

King matures but will readers follow?

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 23:53:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shag - This novel is thought provoking as it evokes many literary comparisons. It is a fable, a fairy tale, a parable, and a coming of age story. Developed with a small cast of characters and lacking King's trademark horror, this work is somewhat of a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author shag - The Good: TRL, The Real World.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shag - As I write this review the Palm product line has expanded considerably since the Palm III. This may make you think that the Palm III is obsolete. However, you would be wrong because almost all of the features that have come after the Palm III are...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shag - This is the first book by Neal Stephenson that I have read and I was very impressed with both the scope and depth of the story.
