AntiViral Toolkit Pro: A real-world solution to virus and trojan risks.

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 00:07:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - AntiViral Toolkit Pro is a program I sought out. I already had McAfee and Norton, neither of which take trojan infections remotely seriously. I provide help to IRC chat users online quite a lot, so dealing with trojan and virus infections is something I...

ZoneAlert 2.0: Top quality firewall for FREE!

Sat, 12 Feb 2000 12:07:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - There are plenty of software firewalls available now but only a handful have ever worked well enough to be worth a review. The best and most secure has always been the Conseal PC firewall, but its a technophobe's worst nightmare to configure.

ConSeal PC Firewall: A little armour never hurts

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 21:00:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - I have found it necessary to edit and change this opinion a little following my discovery of a newer, better alternative. No, not the turn off the computer and do something more constructive instead alternative. I mean another firewall that addresses the...

Arachnophilia: Its free and you get what you pay for

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 04:35:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - I'm not going to give you all the features of this editor, as Ladyvamp has already written an excellent review of the features. What I am going to concentrate on is the feel of the program and comparing it to alternatives.

Macromedia Dreamweaver 2 (DWD20D20) for PC: The minimum standard for professionalism

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:55:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Having reviewed the amatuer products that are popular (Netscape Composer and Microsoft FrontPage) I thought it was time to turn my attentions higher up the chain.

Macromedia Dreamweaver is the absolute minimum specification if you want to...

Sun Netscape 6 (NTS9S-600CD9BA) for Unix: For dedicated Microsoft haters

Tue, 21 Dec 1999 04:50:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - If someone loves Netscape you can be 99% certain that they have a grudge against Microsoft on general principle. The simple fact is that Microsoft IE5 has a whole load of advantages over Netscape, and while I too would rather support the under-dog and...

Netscape Composer: For those who don't know HTML...

Tue, 21 Dec 1999 04:24:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Netscape Composer is an integral part of the Netscape browser suite so you may well already have this software on your system. If you don't then don't install it specially - there are many better products around.

The Good Points:

Expert 2,000 Fantastic Fonts (8010) for PC: Music making for non-musicians

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 16:08:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - The Dance eJay 2 software is a simple idea that provides great fun for kids and adults alike - especially the 'musically challenged' adults like myself. I know what I like to listen to but I'm darned if I could ever manage to learn all the techniques to...

Intel Pentium® III, 1.4 GHz (BX80530C1400512) Retail Processor: Intel now in second place.

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 04:21:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Intel has led the field for a long time, only losing ground when AMD's K6 II chips added 3Dnow for better 3D support (it has extra functions for handling the maths intensive process of rendering 3D graphics).

While the Pentium III is without...

Ulead GIF Animator 5.0 (A38-450-111) for PC: Great GIFs made easy

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 03:42:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - This is a wonderful product. Image editting software is a very competitive field, but Ulead Gif Animator has stood out from the crowd from the start.

I make an awful lot of GIFs. I make banners, imagemaps and general animations, in addition...

Cerious Thumbs Plus: The easy solution to image management.

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 03:22:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Thumbs Plus has those magic words ... "free download". It is shareware, with a nag screen, and you should register it after 30 days, even though it will keep working indefinately.

Thumbs Plus, is without doubt, the easiest way to...

The Origin of CyberPunk

Fri, 3 Dec 1999 22:58:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - I bought the book originally for a long train journey. It was from one of those station bookshops and was from a limited choice.

I figured the book would keep me occupied for the journey and it certainly did. So much so that I had to buy the...

Mech Commander Gold: Very very hard work!

Mon, 29 Nov 1999 19:38:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - This is a great game. Its a highly successful marriage of two very popular genres of games. I have enjoyed all of the mechwarrior games and similar 'Robot sims', and have always been a fan of strategy games.

To those who are new to this whole...

Trout Software Hippie98: My Editor of Choice

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 09:10:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Tastes vary a lot in HTML editors, almost as much as in the HTML pages they create in fact. That is no bad thing. It would be terrible if all websites looked and functioned exactly alike.

Many of us 'old hands' at web-page making prefer...

Eversoft 1st Page 2000: Definitely worth a look

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 08:12:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - I have always been a little wary of freeware HTML Editing software. After all, good HTML Editors are a lucrative industry, ranging from $100 to $Oh-you-can't-be-serious! If the author of a good editor has something to rival the big names then surely...

Heavy Gear for Windows: More Mech Wrecks!

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 20:24:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Another of those 'wouldn't it be cool to pilot a giant tank shaped like a robot' games. And if you found Mechwarrior2 too brief then this is the game for you because it goes on and on and on... hey, wouldnt it be cool to pilot a 40 meter tall energizer...

Gangsters for Windows: Sims in the Hood

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 19:58:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Gangsters is one of those brilliant ideas that just failed to be realized in the final production of the game. The idea of a game where you are the boss of a crime syndicate is good, with tons of potential. Unfortunately, only the idea is good.

Allegiance for Windows: Pathetic effort

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 19:23:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - If the members were forced to play this game then no wonder the allegiance is so fragile. There was a game for the Amiga, many moons ago, called k2 which is identical in every respect I could see. This is a remake, and I didn't see a single original...

Michael, George: Putting the Art into Artist

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 10:29:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - George Michael has a talent that is impressive - but it certainly isn't his dancing. An English artist from a Greek family he is often considered to be one of very few UK acts to succesfully cross the Atlantic. This instantly puts him in a group with...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Amazing quality from the best technology.

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 08:04:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - I bought my Epson Stylus Color 600 at a discount price because the Photo series had just been released. Quite simply, the quality of print is breath-taking, more especially in the printing of photo-quality images than in more mundane printing.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Starter Kit 3.0 (509-00077) for Mac, PC: It's Microsoft, but its still your best choice.

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 06:31:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Yes IE 5 is another MS product with all the terrible things that entails. However I found it friendlier than usual. It installed itself as my default browser of course, and wanted to be my default graphic viewer too, but that only took a moment to...

Opera: The speed of the narrow approach.

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 05:47:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Opera is a browser that is indeed fast. Faster than MS IE 5. If you want to browse text quickly then this is the program for you. If you want to properly experience the World Wide Web however you are in for some disappointment.

Opera gets...

SimTown: Creative fun for kids

Sun, 21 Nov 1999 18:22:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - This is one of the few sims / management games for children and is excellent at interesting and entertaining them. My 7 year old daughter has been a devoted fan of this game for over a year.

The interface is reasonably simple, logical and...

CyberSitter: Censorship by those who should be censored

Sun, 21 Nov 1999 17:49:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author the.knight - Cybersitter has a reputation now that is hard to imagine any 'respectable' organization getting. The product, and its manufacturers have repeatedly been the subject of concerned articles in C-Net and Wired news.

"With the events that...
