Advantages: Free, Easy & simple
Disadvantages: Gets more SPAM than a meat-lover

...Most of the time hotmail works for me. This free, web-based email service is easy to use. It gives you a Microsoft Passport (username) and a few mb of email storage space. It has the regular features of email programs including folders, message rules and an address book. I use hotmail primarily to communicate with my personal friends: With a hotmail address you can use the MSN Instant Messanger, an online chat tool/buddy list. As all of my friends have this it is easy to see when they are online and chat. The only problem with my hotmail address is the volume of bulk mail that I receive on it, although this is true of most email accounts. Microsoft have provided an "inbox protector" to sort through your bulk mail and remove unwanted bulk mail. This service is faily good, however I have lost some "real" messages into the trash can...

Advantages: excellent service
Disadvantages: sometime goes down

...Yahoo was the first free e-mail service that i signed up with and i haven't looked back since, it is easy to reach from the main yahoo page, registration was simple and the service is fantastic. They have a strict no-spam policy and the site is easy to navigate, even i managed it!! The mail account is split into two folders one for bulk mail and one for normal, this is very useful as the bulk mail tends to be boring newsletters and stuff which are not urgent. the mail account is linked to a free service called messenger which you can opt to sign up for, this lets you know when you have mail and you can also send instant messages as an alternative to e-mail. Yahoo is popular for good reason and i will continue to use it as my main account.... Read review

Advantages: free email, can be accessed any where
Disadvantages: none

...Yahoo is a excellent and easy to use web based email provider. It has become so popular that it has attracted millions of members and you are luck if you can get your name as a username. It provides you with 6 megabytes of space (enough to store hundred of emails). You can use your username in Yahoo text and voice Chat. You have the option to receive member’s only email that has free discounts from Yahoo’s selected companies. You can use the blocking feature to block emails from certain people and there is a special bulk mail folder. The bulk mail folder automatically deletes email stored in it after 30 days. This folder may contain emails from a mailing list or any other junk mail.... Read review

Advantages: Store a lot of data
Disadvantages: You need a DVD-R Drive to write to them

...recommended by DVD-R users; BulkPaq DVD-R`s seemed to be getting glowing reports when ever they were used. I decided to buy a spindle tub containing 25 of these to see how good they were, the cost was £12.27 from an online company called SVP Communications and that price seemed to be about the average on two or three other sites. Two days later the tub arrived, it was shrink wrapped and well protected with foam disks to the top and bottom of the DVD-R stack. Unsurprisingly they look just like any other CD or DVD, the top of the disk is a vivid orange colour with text in various places stating that BulkPaq DVD-R`s are “Enhanced for Data, Video and Console”. The business side of the DVD-R (the side to which the data is copied to) is a metallic purple colour and should not be touched to avoid possible damage during burning; (Burning is the term used...

Advantages: excellent range.
Disadvantages: high stacked produce but easily overcome

...how good is makro? very good i fell, one of the best supermarkets ive visitd in a long time, wiht lots of things you could possibly ever want from clothes to 48 pack cola's. from electical goods to frozen turkeys! an excellent escalator system that allows you to take your trolley to all floors of the shop, why dont more have it this way, easy access for the disabled, buggies, and for all your shopping. also a great range of foods, to be bought in bulk at cheaper prices than around other places. with plenty full parking and easy to reach store, some of the only bad points of the store, are that you must have a trading card to get in, however excellent effiecy at the till where you pay and at the exits where all shopping is checked by a member of staff. this shop is excellent over festive periods and for parties (buying in bulk...

Advantages: Cheap products.
Disadvantages: Trade only.

...Makro is a wholesalers or cash and carry. It is essentially a members only club that sells products in bulk (primarilly to be re-sold). Unlike most cash and carries however Makro is more like a super market! It sells the usual cash and carry stuff - crates of coke, sweets in bulk etc. (Great place to get cheap 10kg sacks of rice btw). It also sells individual products including sports equipment, tools, tv's, computers - all sorts of stuff. Unfortunatly to be a member you need to own (or have the right to apply on behalf of) a business. From my observations people use Makro more as a supermarket buying goods for themselves rather than their business and it's a shame it's not open to the general public. For those of you eligable to join there are 27 stores accross the UK (only 3 in Scotland - Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen) collect... Read review
