Lots of Family Fun

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 21:36:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I had never fished in my life. Neither had my kids. Well, all that was ended during the course of an all-too-brief visit to the Lake George, NY area in the Adirondacks. Unlike many people, we had the luxury of staying at my brothers-in-laws humble...

Hugo, Victor: The best book I've ever read.

Thu, 3 Feb 2000 00:31:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - This book is about mankind, about the difficulty of making honest decisions in the face of disaster and doom. It is about the difficulty of doing what is right, despite the awful events that you know will unfold for doing so.

It is rare that...

Reliable connections. Great customer service but I cancelled anyway.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I liked Mindspring. The connections were reliable. I was unable to get a connection only once in about 3 months. Speed was okay - a little better than when I used to use AOL. However, I cancelled the service. Why?

I was able to get high-speed...

Great Internet Access. Will be hard NOT to be on the Internet all the time.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - Comcast made a big push a few months ago, advertising free installation if you ordered. At the time, I didn't think it was all that great, though I was somewhat impressed when I went to a mall where they were demonstrating the product. So I put it off...

Great family outing. Relatively inexpensive. Lots to do.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - This had been a hectic year for my family (wife, two kids - one 5.5 and the other just over 3. We didn't look forward to a Christmas filled with relatives. So we were looking for someplace nearby to get away, just by ourselves where we could relax and...

Fun for very young, but very limited

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I happened to be in a toy store with my 5 year old daughter when this software caught her eye. She played a bit of it that had been set up on an in-store computer and insisted we buy it. I had planned to get her something that day, though not this. The...

Sesame Street Elmo's Preschool: Entertaining. Various levels of challenge

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 19:39:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - This was among the first educational software I purchased for my kids (when my daughter was about 4 - she's now 5.5). I enjoy sitting down with her and now her 3 year old brother to play the game. I think my daughter has burned out on the game but she...

Excellent! Learning & Fun

Mon, 15 Nov 1999 19:18:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I bought this product for my then 4.5 year old daughter. She's now about 5.5 and still likes to use it - though it competes with many other software products that we have for kids. However, of all the software we have, this is the one I like to see her...

JumpStart Preschool 99 Ages 3-5 (2-Users): Good but not a favorite

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 13:35:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I bought this product about a year ago for my then 4 year old daughter and it still gets some usage though it has to compete with JumpStart Toddlers and JumpStart Kindergarten, both of which she seems to prefer. Because we also have a 3 year old, we use...

Great for 5 year olds!

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 13:16:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tn00nan - I bought this software package for my 5 year old and 3 year old. They love 'Blue' and 'Steve' and watch Blue's Clues whenever it's on. I've bought a lot of other software but this captures my 5 year old's attention for more than an hour at a time. By...
