Proporta Alu-Leather Case Flip Type

Protecting your PDA

Advantages: Good looks, good protection
Disadvantages: Not a snug fit

So, you've spent your hard earned cash on a brand spanking new Palm PDA and you intend carrying it around with you on a daily basis. To guard the screen from unwanted scratches, you've applied one of those peel and stick protectors, but what about the rest of the device? Faced with a similar scenario and not wanting to add years to my brand new, shiny bright Palm TX, I searched around for a cover for my new toy. The two main options available at the time were all-aluminium, fully enclosed cases or, the Proporta Alu-leather case. A quick search around the internet revealed mixed opinions on both cases and , more frustratingly, a lack of information regarding the compatibility with the Palm TX - many reviews at the time suggested that the Palm TX did not fit the cases or, where the TX did fit, the case provided a very slip ...

Review of Proporta Alu-Leather Case Book Type

An unwinnable case?

Advantages: excellent gripping read
Disadvantages: none

I am a great fan of courtroom dramas, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy John Grisham novels so much and I pretty much look on him as the master of this genre. Therefore, when I discover a book that claims that it's 'better than Grisham or your money back' I am bound to be interested. This was the claim made by the publishers of 'The Tenth Case' which meant that I found myself compelled to read it. I do think that Grisham at his best is pretty unbeatable although not all that he writes lives up to expectations. So could this book beat, or at least match, what Grisham does? Read on... At the start of the book, we meet Jaywalker, a defence lawyer, whose methods are somewhat unorthodox to say the least. In fact, he is in so much trouble that he is about to be barred from practicing law for three years. He is, however, permitted to ...

Review of The Tenth Case - Joseph Teller

Type R

Advantages: VETEC!
Disadvantages: interior

I managed to get a ride in a 2004 Type R recently. My fist impression is that the car is a bit plasticy, although rattle free, but from the feel of the interior, the racing-style seats, I kinda figured you don't buy a Type-R for the awesome interior so further interior opinions won't be forthcoming. Put your foot hard down, and off it goes. Not blisteringly quickly infact, I was initially suprised about how not-fast it seemed, but I am afraid what they say is true - you hit about 6km, VTEC does indeed kick in, and it's off like a rocket.. ...unfortunately, you are then introduced to the rev limiter a tad sooner than I'd have liked - although the car revs to 8500rpm it doesn't take very long to get there. The best way to make progress was to have your foot right down until you 8500rpm, then change down and do it all again, it was ...
