Kenwood SM606 - Sandwiches are now fun!

Advantages: It does considerably more than your standard Sandwich Toaster!
Disadvantages: A shame the plates can't be removed to clean.

...Our old Sandwich maker was certainly showing signs of age, not least loss of its non stick coating. But it was 15 years old so it wasn't too hard to finally accept it needing replacing. But - We wanted something that offered a little more than a standard Sandwich Toaster would do, be compact enough to store away in a kitchen with limited storage space, but something that would have a timeless look to it, so it wouldn't look out of place in 5 or 10 years time. And it had to be a reasonable price. The Kenwood SM606 ticked all of these boxes. It has a stylish chrome finish body. The non-stick coated cooking plates are made for easy cleaning. It has an easily seen indicator light. A nice sized cool touch handle. It stands upright for compact and space saving storage. The grill plates are ribbed, and the hinges "float" to...

6.06 LTS

Advantages: Nice, simple, secure, robust
Disadvantages: Does not play Battlefield 2 grrrr

...Ubuntu 6.06, is a variation of Linux made with the idea that all software should be freely available to people in every country in their own language. This is no small undertaking. Now for the history lesson. Long ago, all software was created free, free as in I can take a copy of it, alter it, and give you a copy, you can take your copy, and give a new copy to your friend, and so on and so forth. Then, many years later, some young man called Gates, decided that it would be better for the public if they had someone to send their money to in order to receive free stuff. Hence, proprietary software was born, as was Microsoft. Now, many years later, computer users expect to have to pay to use software, and if they do not want to pay, they use an online program to actually steal the software. Naughty naughty. Now, in the early 1990...

Onkyo 606 with Kef 2005.2

Advantages: Wide range of features relative to cost
Disadvantages: Size

...I picked up the eagerly anticipated Onkyo 606 a few weeks ago; I have paired it with a KEF 2005.2 5.1 surround speakers, both in silver finish. I purchased both from A1 Audio based in Sheffield, who supplied direct to me in Glasgow. The Onkyo system replaces a Sony out of the box DVD/surround 5.1 system... and what a difference, just a totally different experience. I have hooked up the Onk with my PS3 via HDMI for gaming, DVDs & Blu-ray use. Am not gonna put anything on the spec of the 606 here, as that is pretty widely available elsewhere. Out of the box the 606 is pretty imposing, it is a large and weighty piece of kit, and feels well put together. As i said, it is big, really big, much more so than I appreciated when I ordered it, I had to remove a shelf from the tv stand to allow it to fit, still, that serves me right...

Review of Onkyo TX-SR606

Onkyo TX-SR 606 receiver

Advantages: Cheap price, 4 HDMI inputs, and HD audio compliant.
Disadvantages: Not a lot!

...Hi ! The new onkyo TX-SR 606 is the best surround amp on the market for under £500 period. We borrowed one for a few weeks whilst our onkyo TX-SR 875 was being repaired. We bought our 875 last year for £999.99 and this new buget model is about 95% of the performance of the 875. It has 4 HDMI inputs and is HD audio and video compliant. It is easy to set up, and sounds fantastic with movies. We have used the HD video scaler and normal DVDs look vastly improved. The unit we borrowd was in black (it is available in silver also) and looked substantial and stylish. Regarding the sound it steers audio around the room fantastically and never seems to be trying too hard or sounding harsh at higher levels. Overall a brilliant buy....

Review of Onkyo TX-SR606

Onkyo TX-SR606 super value home cinema sound

Advantages: Easy to set-up, great sound, HDMI switching and upscaling
Disadvantages: Cannot rename inputs

...I bought my HDMI switch box last year it cost almost £150 alone. The SR606's HDMI inputs offer either a straight through signal at 1080P or you can upscale to 1080i from either the HDMI or component inputs. The sound is very crisp and detailed. The lower frequencies are handled nicely, though not as refined as higher priced units. One thing it does do very well is steering, the surround sound this baby delivers is awesome. The remote is very basic, but does all that you need. Oh and I almost forgot to mention... the set-up procedure is automatic, you plug in a little mic, position it as instructed on your screen and set the Onkyo going. Lots of funny noises and about 10 minutes later it is ready to go. I thought this was worth mentioning as not all people are technically minded, so having this auto feature is a great addition....

6-0-6...After-Match-Therapy

Advantages: Topical, funny and factual.
Disadvantages: Strong bias to London clubs

...For anyone who doesn't know about the programme the basic format is that it is a football show Presented by Richard Littlejohn, Sun columnist and ex-chat show host. The programme starts at 6:06pm and lasts till around 9:00pm. Football fans phone Littlejohn up to explain any major events that may have just happened at the match they just attended or to complain that a manager should be sacked. Although this formula may sound repetitive it actually provides entertaining radio as there are frequent flare-ups between Littlejohn and those who opinions he disagrees with. Littlejohn keeps the programme flowing fluidly with his dry with and confrontational approach to those he disagrees with. He is assisted by Fiona who mans the computer to read out any e-mails. The show is essential listening for any football fan driving home from...

Review of Littlejohn´s 6-0-6 (Radio 5)

Hit or miss?

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Signal & battery

...Well as with all stories I had better start at the beginning! About 4 months ago I lost my phone, it slipped out of my pocket whilst I was walking down the street. Due to its minute size I didn't hear it hit the ground. I was insured for theft/loss/damage but as ever the small print stated 'that one must know where ones phone is at all times'(is not the definition of lost not knowing where ones phone is?). Anyway, regardless to say I wasn't paying 70 pounds for a new phone so I set off to phones 4 U in search of my dream phone and wasn't planning on paying much for it either! I knew straight away that I wanted to join the 3 network, the offer of 500 minutes for 25 pounds a month is just to tempting to refuse. The stock of phones on offer is very limited I had two to choose from. The NEC e606 was the first phone they showed me...
