rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Overview

Interestingly, I did not spend much time deciding if I was going to buy the Sony DSC-S70 digital still camera. I went to the store, tried it out, and compared it with all the other available cameras. The whole process took about an...

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 15:38:14 GMT

Let me start by saying that I ordered a (Dell) desktop and used it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - If you are a web developer, it is in your interest to subscribe to this excellent magazine (if nothing else, it is free). I read every article, every editorial, every bit of news, and even some ads. This is essential reading for any web developer.

Yahoo! Mail: Yahoo Mail Seriously Kicks Butt

Wed, 27 Oct 1999 22:08:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - I use My Yahoo. As part of that service, I use Yahoo’s web based email. I might as well, since I am already at My Yahoo checking news, stocks, weather, and other general information. My Yahoo is a highly configurable environment. And, the configuration...

Save Your Money

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 09:14:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author webword - I used to like PC Magazine. But then something happened. I realized that PC Magazine was not any better than many news sites on the web. I pay for the print version (ouch!) when I can simply visit the web site and get the same information for free. As...

Inside the Fight Club

Sat, 16 Oct 1999 19:57:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author webword - The Fight Club is a movie that you’ll like if you like to escape from reality. It slowly absorbs you until you feel that you are a part of each scene. Interestingly, there isn’t as much fighting as you’d expect from the title of the movie. So, it isn’t...

Usability of Unreal

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 22:25:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Unreal is very good, but it isn't great. And, I know that some folks would disagree, but Unreal is not as good as Quake. There are many reasons why I am saying this, and I'll spell some of them out in this review.

First, the sound effects...

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 00:06:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author webword - My younger brother (12 years old) bought a copy of Tiberian Sun about 2 weeks ago. He was very excited about his purchase, and of course he was even happier that he had earned the money himself. However, he was only mildly impressed with the game.

Rubbish, Waste, Trash...

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 23:40:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Random Hearts is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. If I didn’t pay $7.25 to see it, I would have walked out. I’m upset that I completely wasted two and half hours of my life watching it.

In this review, I’m going to do everything I...

Usability of the Microsoft Intellimouse

Fri, 8 Oct 1999 00:05:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - When I first heard about the Intellimouse, I didn't think it was such a big deal. My initial reaction was mild. The only thing Microsoft added was a wheel, what was the big deal?

I had several reservations. The mouse is curved a bit, and that...

Microsoft FrontPage 2000: Usability of FrontPage 98 and 2000

Sat, 2 Oct 1999 11:05:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author webword - FrontPage is easy to use, especially if you are familiar with other Microsoft products.

Let me clear the air before I move on. It *is* a Microsoft product, so if you don't like Microsoft or Microsoft products, then move along. Second, if you...

Mon, 20 Sep 1999 20:48:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Note: Optiquest is a Viewsonic company.

I recently bought a new computer and decided to get a good 19" monitor. I chose the Optiquest V95 for several reasons. It is only slightly larger and heavier than the better 17" monitors, so...

Fri, 17 Sep 1999 20:15:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Once upon a time I had a good HP inkjet printer, but then it died. I paused only for one moment to mourn my loss. I was in the middle of a project, and I had to print. I ran to Wal-Mart and picked up a Canon Bubble Jet Printer (BJC-250) for $100 and...

The Matrix Unleashed!

Fri, 17 Sep 1999 02:09:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - I saw The Matrix four times in the theater. In almost every scene there is excellent, bone-crushing music. I like machine guns, explosions, computers, kung fu, and cool special effects in movies. And, I like a good soundtrack.

Wed, 15 Sep 1999 22:32:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Unless you do graphic design and image manipulation for a living, you don’t need Photoshop. As you know, Adobe’s Photoshop is the program that the heroes and villains of visual design use. And, it gets too much press!

I admit, the people...

ICQ: Usability of ICQ

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 01:29:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Let me give it to you straight. ICQ is not an easy to download, easy to install, or easy to use program. Going from "I want it!" to "Oh boy, it's installed and I'm using it!" is not all that simple.

Novice web users might...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author webword - I recently bought a 1997 Nissan Sentra. It is for my wife who must drive about 120 miles everyday, on the highway. I did a lot of research on this car before I bought it, using a wide variety of web sites, consumer reports magazine, and recommendations...

Mon, 13 Sep 1999 22:04:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author webword - Rainbow 6 has excellent visuals. The people look quite real, the landscapes are rendered very well, and the player movements are fluid. The sounds are also excellent. I have an Altec Lansing Powercube sound system, which includes a subwoofer. With this,...
