Roland Express FP-740

Advantages: Look great, easy setup, does its job excellently
Disadvantages: User manual is only average, no power cable if you need it

...AirPort Express with AirTunes is simply the most innovative product I have seen for years. It has three main purposes: 1. To allow you to stream your iTunes library around your house and listen to your iTunes via your home stereo. 2. To act as an Internet access point, or router, allowing you to share your broadband connection. 3. To put your printer on your wireless network. It can also extend your existing wireless network, i.e. it is a repeater. The quality of the music streamed is excellent and I cannot distinguish it from a CD. The installation is very easy although the user manual is not the best I have ever seen. The product looks very cool and will crave attention from visitors to your home. The product does not require any power cables, although I found this to be annoying as my power outlet is too far away from... Read review

...This modem was the second I bought just after unmetered ISP's first went hot and I got my registration disk for ntlworld (sorry to anyone who hasnt got theirs yet). Until this time I refused to get an ISP from home because I knew that I would be on for an average of 12 hours a day and simply could not afford that. The first modem I bought was a cheap "hayes compatible" 56K flex external from the local shop which I had numerous problems with and took back 24 hours after purchase.

I nipped out again to a different retailer and bought the "Diamond SupraExpress 56e PRO". When I got it home I plugged it on the machine and it went off like a charm connected perfectly...

...The Logitech QuickCam Express is a nice looking webcam, with a neat little stand and very curvy lines. The camera and base are both whitey, so I don't reckon it would look that good with a black monitor. However, the base is around 9cms wide, and can't be put on top of a TFT moitor easily - at least not mine. If it has to be put on your desk, next to your monitor or whatever, then it doesn't really look up high enough, its really designed to look down on you not up. The focus ring is blue, which blends in nicely but the lens is a bit like looking into a black hole. I don't know if that's the same for all webcams, but it freaks me out a bit if I look straight down it. I got mine for £19.99 from a retail shop, which isn't too bad, and was deffinately a lot cheaper than the others they were advertising on their website. So I reckon it ain... Read review
