Great Movie with the "New Age" Adam Sandler and DVD features

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 00:51:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - More than any movie in recent years, this movie left me with a good feeling. I especially liked the understated humor and 80's nostalgia. This movie raises no controversial issues nor does it galvanize some universal truth at a moment in time. But it's...

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 03:29:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I signed up for Wingspan bank over the summer of 1999. I have had absolutely no complaints with the customer service at Wingspan, and all of their services are exactly as promised. Of particular importance to me were the high interest rates of 4.5% (for...

Great little system

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - In this age of materialism where we encounter tons of new products daily, there are a few precious items that becomes a necessity. For me, during the past three years, it has been the Palm pilot(the very first model from now-acquired US Robotics). Now,...

Great Camera, some subtle flaws

Thu, 18 Nov 1999 03:59:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - This camcorder is very small and weighs about a pound. A common complaint about the camcorder is the fact that the tape loads from the bottom but I don't find it to be very inconvenient. I found that the digital zoom is great up to about 36X but as with...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I picked up a JVC DV3 digital camcorder on Ebay, and it was an excellent deal. The unit is so small its unbelievable. It weighs less then a pound but punches the most video quality into such a small package! The only downfall to this unit is that it does...

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 03:10:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I dont like to admit it, but I prefer to use Internet Explorer over Netscape and here is why. First let me preface this review by saving that Netscape is sometimes necessary because it handles secure pages much better then Internet Explorer. I have...

Parallel Port Ruins the Product

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 02:41:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I would strongly recommend against anyone buying this product. I have used two different units of this burner, on two different systems, and it never seems to work properly. The parallel port is just too slow and both computers occasionally get...

What a Smash- the Powerbook dream come true!

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 02:31:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I have owned several different notebook computers (apple and pcs) and used many more. Without a doubt, the Powerbook G3 is by far the leader of the pack. Until you actually get your hands on it, you cannot realize how light and thin it actually is. No...

Wed, 10 Nov 1999 04:30:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - The Gateway Solo series notebook computers have all the important features of your everyday rather cheap Pentium class notebooks. My unit in particular had 14" TFT screen, Pentium MMX 200 Mhz, 32 Megs of ram, USB ports, and a semi-modular bay.

Best Cheap Color Inkjet Printer

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 19:45:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - This printer is amazing, kudos to Epson. The 740's major advantage is it's connectivity. Not many inkjet printers have parallel, serial, and USB ports. This enables the printer to be connected to the most modern Macs and PC's as well as legacy machines...

Good Mouse but has some flaws

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 19:36:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - I will just focus on the aspects that I do not like because the other reviews document the good features rather well.

First of all this mouse is way too expensive. I do not now what the $69.99 goes into (except Microsoft's bank account) but...

Sony fouls it up again.

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 17:09:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - This drive initially appears to be very good but some minor problems coupled with Sony's poor tech support ruins the day.

The Spressa USB external drive is aestethically pleasing and matches well with the iMac decor. Sony definitely markets...

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 16:58:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skahn - This edition of the iMac surpasses all of the previous ones in both form and function. First form: The new design is both smaller and smarter. The airholes in the top have eliminated the need for a fan (MUCH quieter) and the new translucents have a much...
