What a disappointment!

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 20:06:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I was eagerly awaiting this movie! I expected it to be funny, cute, touching ... I expected it to be Pretty Woman for kids. That is what the advertisements were touting it as. I wanted a serious chick flick. I also expected that Julie Andrews would...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - What can I really say? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because it took me away from my world for a while. However, that doesn't mean it was a good movie. The reality is that you can wait until it plays at the local dollar theatre or it comes out on video...

The Best Grisham Book Yet

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 14:10:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I feel that A Painted House by John Grisham has to be the best book he has written so far. It is far different than anything he has published before. First and foremost, there are no lawyers or legal students in this book. It isn't a book about...

A Refreshing Change

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I switched to USPS eBillPay after having a horrendous experience with Yahoo BillPay (you are welcome to read that epinion too). I have been using it now for over 6 months and have had absolutely no problems.

eBillPay works the same way that...

Simply the Best

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - My kitty cat Hazel is 15 years old and we have tried many types of litter throughout this time. I keep coming back to Fresh Step Scoop because it is simply the best litter out there (of all types).

I initially chose Fresh Step because I had a...

Great for the disabled or elderly

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - My cat is 15 years old and I wasn't sure if she would like this new product, but being that I was having surgery on a foot and would be in a wheelchair for a few months, I decided that this litter box was a must have. My best friend bought it for me...

There's nothing to Yahoo! about here

Read on for the saga but if you just want the meat of this story then DON'T USE YAHOO! BILL PAY.

So, after having ankle surgery that made me unable to walk or drive, I decided to start using...

None other compares

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I have read all of Clancy's book excluding the Net Ops books. Without Remorse is hands down the absolute best writing he has done. This book is typical Clancy where every detail and thought is explained and something seemingly an aside is integral to...

Great for pets!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - At my apartment building they do not allow folks to attach screen doors. I, unfortunately, like to have the house open, including front door when the weather is nice. My cat likes it too, but leaving the door open without a gate just invites my cat to...

$1.00 to get the stamps?

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 11:09:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - So the United States Postal Service has a web page. The web page is very informative and you can even buy stamps there. I think this is a great idea! I mean, you can buy stamps by mail and they get delivered to your house for free. On the web, you...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I bought the O'Reilly Learning the UNIX Operating System along with UNIX in a Nutshell. I bought both because I'm not really knew to UNIX or command line operating systems. However, I thought that Learning the UNIX Operating System would refresh my...

Great for a Vegetarian!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I have visited Sweet Tomato a few times in South Florida where I live. I have also been in one in California.

The one around where I live is fairly new and fastidiously clean. I like to eat there because I can eat fresh food put out with a...

You've Got to Know How to Touch Type

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I have had my Microsoft Natural Keyboard for about four years now. I have gotten so used to having a split keyboard that I have trouble typing on a regular keyboard.

I do find that people who come and type on my computers have trouble using...

Orgasmic!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I really don't know how I used to live without my Palm Pilot. Actually yes I do. I lived with a very large, out-of-date, stuffed with papers and business cards address book. This address book was falling apart at the seams and was held together with...

Good if you want to rebuild credit

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I selected Capital One as my credit card company simply because they were one of the few that would allow me to get credit with them. Capital One gives out secured credit cards to those with credit problems. I only had to make a small deposit to get a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I have banked with Bank of America for a short time. In fact, this opinion has to do with NationsBank which merged with Bank of America, or changed names, or was bought out in South Florida. Who knows anymore?

They are now the same company...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I go to Chevy's on average twice a month. Some months it is more sometimes less. I really enjoy eating at Chevy's and as a vegetarian I have a decent amount of choices that don't all taste the same.

Chevy's was trashed by some veg...

Not much of an enigma

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 21:02:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - U-571 was a decent movie. It is not the best action movie I have seen but it is passable. The problem is that it is unrealistic in a James Bond sort of way except that the characters aren't real loveable like Bond, James Bond is.

As you...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - I have been using Yahoo! Mail now for about a year and a half. During that time it has gone through at least one makeover and has had bunch of features added. Overall I find Yahoo! Mail to be a great free product.

The interface for Yahoo!...

Better than others

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yvi_1 - Like any school within FIU, the School of Computer Science (SCS) has its good and bad points. My experience with SCS overall was good.

I found that undergraduate counseling for SCS was a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5. The instructors taking on this...
