Fri, 9 Sep 2005 18:33:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - The Antec Sonata II is a work of art that has great functionality at the same time. The only foibles of this case can be greatly forgiven since they are related to some of the cooling apparatus. Style and silence This case is most often...

Your new server has arrived

Thu, 31 Jul 2003 11:15:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition is quite possibly the best server product that Microsoft has released yet. They are definitely showing their willingness to compete with Linux, and in fact have brought forth an offering that very well could if it...

Mon, 21 Oct 2002 13:30:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Unreal Tournament 2003 is quite possibly one of the best first-person shooter games to come out this year.

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 16:57:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Well, as anyone by now has seen, Windows XP has hit the shelves and made quite a splash in the computing world. The fact remains, however, that Microsoft always seems to find a way to muddle up anyone's computing experience no matter how many...

Wed, 29 Aug 2001 15:12:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I have recently purchased the Asus A7V-133 and have noticed that this board is probably one of the best ones on the market thus far. I have had no stability issues arise from it, and my processor has no heat problems at all. I don't really notice the...

Somebody call Ripleys, not even they will believe this...

Tue, 22 May 2001 15:03:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Well, I must say it is about time Microsoft released a consumer OS that is decently stable. Their track record with Windows 95 and 98 have proven to be more than disasterous, however it seems that they finally fixed most of the 98 codebase in this...

Houston, we have lift-off (or is that a problem?)!

Mon, 14 May 2001 16:11:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - After much waiting and putting it off, I decided to upgrade my video card from a Voodoo 3 3500 to the Elsa Gladiac with the Geforce 2 GTS chipset and 32 MB DDR RAM. I have been impressed by this card's performance, however it does take a little tweaking...

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 12:23:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I have used WS_FTP Pro several times throughout my time on the Internet, mainly when I see they've released a new version to see if it passes the fire test. This software has its share of ups and downs, but in the end the big downside kills any and all...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I have been a long time customer of USRobotics products, and I know 3COM has its reputation as well, and both of them together have came up with a modem that can deliver the speed today's dial-up internet users desire with features that will keep them...

DFX: Ups And Downs...

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:10:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I first downloaded this plug-in for WinAmp when it was still version 3.00, and I have to say that 3.0 wasn't exactly the best version of it out there. The new version, 4.0, has improved upon it substantially. One must, however, be mindful that the...

Speed To Burn

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:57:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I have owned Hewlett-Packard CD Writers since the 8110i, and I have been very pleased with both it and the 9110i. I upgraded from the 8110i because 4x writing speed was simply too slow for me because I was writing more CDs than average. Needless to...

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 14:41:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - I have been using this ripper/encoder for quite some time now, and there is no other that I would use. I have even compared it's encoding to other methods and find that it's quality is on par even with Fraunholfer, who defined the standard for MP3...

The graphics, different styles of play, and of course the game's content make it an excellent game with a lot of play value. The ability to be expanded is also something...

Microsoft Windows 98 SE: If This Is A Joke, I'm Not Laughing

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 12:40:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - It seems that Microsoft has attempted to correct their previous problems with a new release of Windows 98. However, their attempts have been futile at best and I shall now reflect my experiences with it. I only noted a few improvements, and I will...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Nero Burning ROM is one of the better CD recording utilities on the market today. It has a laundry list of features which make it extremely versatile, however its quirks may shy the novice user away from it at first. Also one must note that Nero...

The WORST Board Ever

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 12:31:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - This board is probably one of the WORST ones on the market. I had one for a while and all it gave me were headaches. Keep in mind that all the while I was keeping my BIOS and drivers up to date (I had no choice...something had to improve, so I...

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 14:53:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Well, as anyone who has read my opinions previously may know, I like to torture test OSes that claim to be invincible. Win2k is no exception.

Mandrake Linux: Effectively ineffective

Thu, 25 May 2000 15:02:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - At one time, I had decided to experiment with Linux-Mandrake because of the fact that it said it had "enhancements" to it that the original RedHat did not. Well, they can keep them. I found that the starting log-in screen on the text side of the...

Thu, 25 May 2000 14:41:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - Since first using this virus scanner/cleaner software, I have never had the need to use any other. I have recommended it to everyone that I know that has any of the competition's scanners, as well.

Wed, 24 May 2000 14:36:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author solrosinberg - The original Dreamweaver by Macromedia was a wonderful WYSIWYG HTML editor, mostly because its visual approach to HTML editing generated the most reliable code despite its ease of use.
