Oh my God! This thing is amazing!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - Wow! After considering getting one of these for about six months, I finally splashed out on a Vx. It is incredible!

I had delayed buying one because I was waiting for the Visor to become available outside the USA. But, it seems I won't be able...

Freedrive.com: Don't bother... too slow and a yucky interface.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - I have given up on using Freedrive. Sure they offer 50 megs of space, but that's no help if you can never connect to their servers or if even modest size file take eons to transfer.

I began using Freedrive so I could share files with...

Sorry Netscape...I'm changing to IE!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - Well, after several years being a fan of Netscape, I think Microsoft have finally (inevitably?) developed a better browser.

IE 5 is fast, good looking, and very reliable. I don't think it has crashed once in the several months I have been...

Microsoft FrontPage 2000: Hmmm.... could be easier to learn.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - Advanced webmasters: it's great!

Newbies: caution!

Frontpage was the first computer application I have ever had to seek outside help to learn how to use. After a few weeks of making little progress, I signed up for a one day course at a...

Great picture, strange remote control.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - This is a serious, upper-end DVD player that meets the usual Sony standards of very high picture and sound quality. The remote control device is however a little disappointing.

The machine is a little complicated to use initially. The jog and...

Microsoft Money 2000 Business & Personal: Great if you're rich!

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 10:24:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - Money2000 would be of most use if you have lots of different investments and/or complex bank account structures. You you don't, then it is way OTT (over the top) for most user's requirements.

I tried the Money2000 Free Trial download, and...

Riven: The Sequel to Myst for Mac, Windows: Addictive, brilliant, very challenging

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 04:45:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - I had heard so much about Myst I simply had to give Riven a go. In fact I bought it for my partner as a gift. When we first started playing, we had numerous "all-nighters" over many weeks trying to make progress, but then it just got too...

OK for the Granny set, but not a serious internet service!

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 05:30:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - None of my previous online experience has been via AOL, I have preferred to use "vanilla" ISPs and a "proper" interface like Netscape or IE.

However the "100 hours free" deal that arrived in the mailbox was too...

Toshiba Satellite 4080: Thoughts after 8 months of use

Wed, 15 Dec 1999 23:32:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - I bought this laptop in April 99 when I started a new job as a trainer for a major multinational. The machine was intended to be not only my main personal PC for use when I was on the road, but for presenting training sessions as well.

The PC...

Easy to use, resolution a little disappointing

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tubster - I bought the HP710 because I have had great experiences with other HP printers. While I was primarily after a colour printer, the ability to fax and scan easily is useful.

It certainly is a breeze to install and use... I was able to follow the...
