Advantages: cheap, works in vista, does the job far better than the competition, optical output! Disadvantages: limited inputs (see review)
The souncard market has never really been swamped with options. For those of us who don't use onboard sound and demand a seperate sound card for our sorround sound/gaming/music needs theres never been much choice. Most people go with Creative as they are well known and apparently respectable. I did just that a few years ago, it was a mistake. Their driver and customer support, especially for Windows Vista users is seriously lacking. I was finding my games locking up, my computer suffering from fatal errors (aka Blue Screens of Death) and just general sound issues that were hindering my enjoyment. Research soon showed that the creative card was to blame. As a result i threw my old creative soundcard in the bin and opted for something new, the Asus Xonar D1.
Simple, small and effective. Asus's card supports Vista and its drivers are ...

£8.99 ? Boots Home Pregnancy Test Kit (pack of two)

The First Response test claims to be 99% accurate. In my experience, it was not that (unless I am the 1%!). I was keen to know as early as possible if I was pregnant, because I planned on taking some valium for a flight and later in the week to ...
Advantages: Handy telephone with remote access answering machine Disadvantages: Was quite expensive compared to models available these days
HISTORY BEHIND MY PURCHASE
I've been using the Response 310 for about 7 or 8 years now. I used to rent it from BT for about £11 a quarter and the phone would last about a year and then start to have problems and I'd order a new one which would be delivered free and then that one would last another year or so too.
I actually purchased one eventually thinking it would make more sense (thinking about it now it was probably a stupid idea considering the first 3 units I had stopped working and had to be replaced). So I rang up BT about 4 years ago and asked them how much to buy one and they quoted me £99 (which was quite steep considering the phones available now). Anyway I told them to whack the charge onto my phone bill and get a unit out to me. Now I returned the rental unit to them once I'd received my new phone and started to use ...
