Belkin 2-Port KVM Switch With Built-In Cabling

Advantages: Advantages: Cheap, all in one solution
Disadvantages: No manual overide or audio support

...stops autoscanning and lets you use the currently selected PC. The Belkin claims support for scrolling mice but I did find sometimes one PC would start up without recognising this facility if it wasn't the currently selected one when booting up and in extreme cases, wouldn't recognise the keyboard and mouse at all. Previous KVM's I've used send the PC fake 'There's a keyboard and mouse here' messages when not selected and it seems this unit does not, which is a pity. Conclusion The Belkin 2 port KVM is a well built unit that works nicely and provides a great way to save desk space and the cost of a second monitor, keyboard and mouse. The long leads are useful and despite the niggles with scrolling mice and the lack of manual switch. I'd say this unit is worth considering at this price if you can live with those shortcomings...

Review of Belkin 2-Port KVM Switch with Built-In Cabling - KVM switch - 2 ports

Built to last

Advantages: Strong and sturdy
Disadvantages: Difficult to use on the bus.

...I really like this stroller. It feels very sturdy and reliable, which I really appreciate. It's a little on the heavy side, but I think that's a fair trade-off considering how safe and secure it keeps my baby. This stroller is built like a tank. It's pretty easy to store, too. It folds up when you twist the handle (I don't think you would be able to accidentally fold it up while using it, however). I keep mine laying on its side under the dining room table when I'm not using it. The seat is also very easy to adjust, and it can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of babies. My baby is still very small, but I imagine that a toddler would still be very comfortable in there. I also like how long the seat is when you lay it all the way down flat. I put my kiddo in there for naps and he can stretch out very comfortably...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

Well Built

Advantages: Fully Featured
Disadvantages: Not Cheap

...Bought new in March 2007, I have had to get used to using electricity for cooking as I was using gas for many years. The cooker is built very well and has a sturdiness about it that seems lacking in other cookers. On delivery, I noticed a large defect inside the top oven. The stayclean lining was gouged away and I had the cooker changed by Electrolux in only 3 days. First impressions was that the cooker was much slower to heat up than I had been used to, but that is typical for electric cookers. Five months later, I amused to the heating and cooking at a more gentle pace and the results are better than with gas. The obvious statement is that it is much cleaner. Especially with a ceramic hob, this is a main advantage. The controls are much easier to use than expected and although as said in another review it is possible to turn...

Review of Electrolux EKT6045X

Another Sony marvel, this time with Blu-Ray built in!

Advantages: HUGE harddrive, lots of memory, stylish and fast. Easy to use and robust.
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, and I'd have preferred it to be a little lighter.

...open and shut with ease, and make moving around through the software a pleasure. A big helping hand also comes from the 4GB of memory and MASSIVE 500GB harddrive - great for tunes, images and movies. You get bluetooth built-in which helps when wanting to transfer images and tunes without wired connections between the laptop and other device. There are also memory card slots and some great buttons not far from the screen that act as shortcuts for rewinding and forwarding tracks, films etc. There is very little that I can say in terms of negativity when it comes to this little beauty. I found it to be fairly portable at just over 3KG, although I'd have liked it to be a little lighter if possible. I also found that the battery life (which is standard around 3 hours or possibly slightly less I believe - I think 2.7 hours is quoted online...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN FW 41

Truly Built for the DS

Advantages: Good use of DS controls and great graphics
Disadvantages: Average storyline

...Firstly let me say that I thoroughly enjoyed this game. When I first looked at it I thought 'oh man not another hidden object game' because I really felt that that style is getting old however when I actually put the cartridge in the DS and began to play I knew that this game had been built specifically for the DS and it was impressive. Graphics: 9/10 Not too shabby at all. all items were sharp and clear (and so obvious I missed them for staring at them. The graphics were exactly the way they were meant to be - and they looked good. Gameplay/Controls: 10/10 Utilising all the features of the DS like blowing into the mic to blow dust away or blow out a fire and making use other of other detective tools like a UV lamp and underwater goggles made this game fun and easy to control. Not at all like other hidden object games where if you...

Review of Mystery Case Files MillionHeir

A holiday resort built on a great human tragedy

Advantages: A different type of holiday destintation
Disadvantages: None for me

...- consequently there is a totally different city culture and architecture in the city than there is in the rest of the country. With the earthquake Agadir saw one of the most complete wipeouts of any earthquake in this century: only a small quarter north along the beach survived. and Agadir moved its centre a couple of kilometre south and away from the dangerous epicentre. The Moroccan authorities decided that a new version of the Arab world should be built in an area away from the old town. European architects introduced wide boulevards, and the simple lines of the Arab house was mixed with modern Western architecture of the same period There is a memorial park is placed where the old town centre once was, and except a small mosque and some structures that can serve for ceremonies, there is nothing but trees and flowers here. The area is...

Review of Agadir (Morocco)

Newton Faulkner's debut album is a success

Advantages: Great voice and lyrics
Disadvantages: Not a great deal of variety, though I'm sure that will come

...Hand Built By Robots is Newton Faulkner's debut album. He smashed onto the commercial music scene in 2007 with his hit Dream Catch Me, and the album was just as successful. He is one of a breed of singer songwriters we have seen emerge over the past five years or so inculding James Blunt, James Morrison and Paolo Nutini that seem to have the edge when it comes to writing music. If you've heard Faulkner's music, then you'll know he is a balladier, with his husky and powerful voice and his loing ginger dreadlocks making him instantly recognisable. The album doesn;t have a lot of variety about it, I have to say, but that does not mean that he is a one-trick pony. Faulkner's music is high in quality. The predominant sounds on the album are his guitar and voice, but the backing music lends itself well to the music, and it is obviously...

Bob and the Gang go WILD!

Advantages: Kids loved it, good animation, some good songs
Disadvantages: Verging on being a musical!

...falls down. Rio is sad about this but she knows that it was an accident and Bob says that he, Wendy and the Gang will be able to help re build Cactus Creek. Will Rio get her wish and have Cactus Creek back to how is was in the old days and will Muck be able to prove his was built to be wild when he and spud come across an old mine shaft? Ok so I was not overly excited about watching this film but taking everything into account and especially the age which it is aimed at then I have to say that it was quite good. My boys did actually sit and watch all of this which did surprise me as the running time is a lot longer than the bob the Builder episodes which are on the TV. The animation was great and a lot of detail was added to the back ground of each shot and it all did look very good. All of the film was nice and bright and very...

Review of Bob The Builder - Built to be Wild (DVD)

The Purple Tape (Tape?)

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...?Only Built For Cuban Linx...? was a 1995 release and came as the debut solo effort from the Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon as it found him, as others such as GZA, Method Man and Ol? Dirty B*****d had done earlier, gone on to bring out something to show what he is like as an individual (although all of the other members lend a rap at some point). He is backed by RZA?s beats and came out with what is considered to be a classic, especially when you look at key Mafioso Rap pieces. 1. ?Striving For Perfection? (Intro) 2. ?Knuckleheadz? The New Yorker kicks it all off well as he goes in hard with the dark beats from RZA hold it all into the hardcore, underground setting tha really has no place being heard by any others who aren?t going to embrace this anti-mainstream Hip Hop. Here you find that Rae is joined by Ghostface Killah (making...

A Capital Built for a King

Advantages: Huge rapid urban growth
Disadvantages: Cant find any!

...Madrid his capital. A royal hunting lodge, first erected by his father, still graces the park. Now this forested area has become a regional park that offers protection to two of Europe's most endangered species, the Spanish imperial eagle and the European black vulture. Retiro Park was formerly a spacious royal garden in the centre of Madrid, where the royal family staged bullfights and even naval battles. The public were allowed access to the park in the 18th century, provided they suitably attired. Now of course the dress code has been relaxed and Madrilenos ( means citizens of Madrid) throng this popular retreat every weekend. Crystal palace built wrought iron and glass and a semicircular colonnade overlooking a boating lake are just two if it's attractive features. Charles III, an 18th century king who took a keen interest in art...
