The deceitful professor

Tue, 9 Jul 2002 20:01:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I have parents that after years of owning a computer, still don't know the difference between a left and right mouse click...they are absolutely clueless when it comes to surfing the internet, to copying and pasting anything, and this is after dozens (if...

An EXCELLENT camera for the price!

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 03:20:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Okay, I've written three negative reviews in a row so it's about time that I write about something that I was happy with!

My sister received a Fuji MX-1200 digital camera for Christmas '99, and while I was involved in the purchase, I was not...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Why can't I find an Internet Service Provider that delivers what they promise, I think to myself as I deal with the constant busy signals and sudden disconnects??

My first experience with ISPs was with AOL...and like most internet newbies I...

Alta: Rent some skis and SHUT UP!!!

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 20:03:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - This future "commercial" was a joke!! OK...I won't go into how ePinions has lost their focus due to allowing these trashy video reviews. I did that in my last review. But this is yet another case of pure shock value.

So Alta has a...

iMac: Sell it on SHOCK VALUE!!!

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:54:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - This is exactly what I figured would happen. ePinions asks for video reviews of products, and what do we get? Members coming up with original (and to them, at least) hilarious ways to destroy things...be it a cellular phone under a car's tires or a...

Journey guitarist releases a rockin' album!!

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:31:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Guitarist Neal Schon (probably best known for his work with Journey) has always been very under rated and one of my favorites. The guy can play anything! Not many guitarists have come up with so many memorable licks and solos.

When Journey...

Michelle Shocked should be proud

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 18:24:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Undoubtedly one of my top 5 albums of all time!

Folkster Michelle Shocked failed to get my attention on her debut CD, "Short Sharp Shocked." Her second CD "Captain Swing" was a departure where she played more in a big...

Slam Tilt! Pinball: Almost as good as the real thing

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 06:54:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I have always loved a good game of pinball, and when realistic pinball simulations started appearing for computers, I went crazy buying them! I have found some great games, as well as some complete duds. Slam Tilt is one of the greats, in my...

Holsten: Worth it's weight in...CELERY???

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 06:42:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - The main reason why I bought this beer in the first place was because of a man that I saw at the Grocery Outlet store. He was walking out of the store pushing a cart that contained at least six CASES of this beer. I thought that I would give it a try,...

The mighty Van Halen!

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 06:32:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Ahhh...the mighty Van Halen! A smile comes to my face when I think of most of their music. Hard rock doesn't get much better than this!

I'll be honest. I bought this Best Of CD just because of the three songs that they threw on the end. I...

They rock! They roll! They try to sound like the Brian Setzer Orchestra!

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 06:21:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I am a big fan of the Brian Setzer Orchestra. I have liked Brian and appreciated his talent ever since hearing the Stray Cats for the first time, way back when. When he came out with the first BSO CD several years back I was blown away! A big band...

Ignifuge: Ignifuge...why not??

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:35:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Simply put, Ignifuge pays you to use them as a start page. That means that every time that you go online or click on the "home" button on you browser, their page will pop up.

You are paid for up to 10 visits a day, and they must be...

WhatsHotNow: Perfect for the insomniac!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:03:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - WhatsHotNow is a website where you can nominate or vote for anything that you happen to like (or dislike) and nominations are arranged in order of popularity. I ran across it less than a week ago and have been lucky (?) enough to have a couple of...

The only way to ship!!!

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 15:43:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I sell collectibles on online auctions and have tried just about every method of shipping. I have had some terrible experiences (see my review of DHL World Express), but most were trouble-free and painless, thanks to the good ol' United States Postal...

Led Zeppelin tribute album gone horribly wrong!!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 17:32:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Let me start off by saying that I HATE tribute albums!! Most of the ones that I have heard seem like nothing more than a bunch of unknown bands screwing up the classics. Why fool with a good thing? The original Led Zeppelin albums and songs are...

Break out your electrical tape!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 17:26:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - The Plasmatic's were one of the first "punk" bands that I was exposed to when I was growing up. It was shortly after the release of their first album, "New Hope for the Wretched" that I remember seeing vocalist Wendy O. Williams...

DHL : NEVER again!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 04:08:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I sell items on eBay, a very popular online auction. Once in a while a buyer comes along that insists on not using the United States Postal Service for shipping, as I prefer. I can usually change a buyer's mind, since I have had very few problems with...

Beavis and Butthead were wrong!!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 03:03:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Unfortunately when many people think of the band Winger they think of Beavis and Butthead's plump little geek friend with the Winger t-shirt. That little dweeb damaged Winger's career more than he will ever know.

Winger started out with a...

MTV: Get Off the Air!!

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:10:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - The title of my review is taken directly from a song by the Dead Kennedys. Their complaint was that MTV was too commercial and only showed teeny-bopper videos. Of course, the song came out back in the 80's WHEN MTV ACTUALLY INCLUDED MUSIC!!!!!!

The Ozzman choketh

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 21:54:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - In my opinion, Ozzy's music is not what is used to be. I remember albums like "Diary of a Madman" which became instant classics and did not have a bad track on them. The Ozzy-era Black Sabbath albums were all excellent as well.

I...

Robots should NOT sing!!!

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 21:05:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Oh man, this is bad...

I wish I could leave my review as simple as that, but I promised myself that I would review some terrible cds as well as my favorites. But first, the question..."why do I own this???" Well, I bought it at a...

The lost Jane's Addiction album??

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 20:50:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - I like the Chili Peppers, but have never been a huge fan. The first cd of theirs that I ever bought was "One Hot Minute," and that was solely because of Dave Navarro taking over on guitar. I love Jane's Addiction, and couldn't wait to see...

All Dave's flavors are guaranteed to satisfy!

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 16:03:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - After the commercial failure of the Van Halen III cd with Gary Cherone on vocals, former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth had a perfect chance to release an album that proved who could still rock hard. He took the chance and it works most of the...

MyPoints.com: A way to spend the occasional sleepless night!

Mon, 3 Jan 2000 03:00:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - Several months ago, a friend let me know that there were programs online where advertisers paid web surfers money for being exposed to their ads. The program that I signed up to was MyPoints, and before too long I was regularly receiving e-mails and...

Heavenly views indeed

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 07:03:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wavespy - You can't miss Heavenly when you are driving through South Lake Tahoe. One steep run (I believe it's called Gunbarrel) heads up the mountain and has always struck me as quite imposing. What some people don't know is that most of the ski area is not...
