Cisco IP Phone 7941

Advantages: ease of use, strong, durable, linking into GAL, remote managment and upgrades from call manager.
Disadvantages: Call quality is dependant on quality of the Network. Duplex settings, over utilized network, etc

...In my experience with the Cisco IP phone 7941, which has been for 5 years or so, has been nothing but pleasure. There features to link into AD and the ability to log onto any phone in the building and look up a user on the GAL on AD is very handy indeed. Call Transfer,Conference, Mute are the standard features. The Phones will have to be set up to work with a call manager, Which is a centre point to manage the phones, and has the ability to record conversation for quality control, etc. They have 2 options when it comes to powering these phones, on is to buy a power adapter, the other is to buy a Cisco Switch that can supply power to the phones via Ethernet. They are strong and reliable, they have been used as call centre phones, and we know what kind of abuse they would be put through in that environment. All in all, i would rate...

Basic Cisco Course

Advantages: More money @ work, More Knowledge
Disadvantages: !!!!!!

...I work in the Network Security Industry & work for a company called Equant (Who provide Global Network solutions & own the largest privately owned Network in the World), & was looking for a basic level Cisco course to achieve an acreditation. The ICND course (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices) is an ideal course to start. Although very Cisco orientated (as you could imagine), it doe sgive you a valuable basic knowledge of how the Cisco products interact with each other & other devices & networks (ie: Novell, which has recently dumped it's own IPX protocol, in favour of IP, this makes things easier as you can now deal with IP addressing & not just MAC addresses). I went on an ICND course provided by a company called Getronics, based in Milton Keynes, I am now planning to take the Cisco CCNA exam, which is the first Certification...

Review of Cisco - ICND Course

Obsolete, but perfect for Cisco exams

Advantages: Very Cheap, with lots of features
Disadvantages: Will help with CCNA, but may stuggle with CCNP

...I bought one of these routers off ebay to help with my upcoming (Cisco) CCNA exam. These are by no means cutting edge routers, and are obsolete now as they only support 10Mbps via their AUI (lan) port and support a limited amount of protocols. The router itself has one AUI port, which when used with a transceiver can connect to either another router or a switch (at 10Mbps); 2 serial ports which can be configured with a routing protocol such as frame relay to connect to another switch or ISP data terminal equipment, a console port to configure the router itself, and an AUX port for modem connection. Though well past it's sell by date, the switch is perfect to get to grips with Ciscos IOS (internetwork Operating System) and set up simple routed networks in conjuction with other routers and switches. One thing to be aware of when buying...

Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

100 Reviews = 100 Questions? Perhaps.

Advantages: There are some brilliant songs in there...
Disadvantages: I ramble on for too long about nothing of any interest...but please read anyway!

...Hello all of you lovely Ciaosters - and Mizzaholics alike - and welcome to my 100th review! Quite an achievement, I must say, because my attention span isn't exactly great *walks off to look at an invisible butterfly* Point taken? Anyway - I figured that since this is my 100th review, it would be nice to do the 'Reveal Yourself In 100 Questions' task. Some of these answers might be slightly bizarre but I hope that you'll have read some of my previous things so that you know exactly what to expect...sort of... This review is only slightly longer than many of my others *coughIrambleonalotcough* but please enjoy this Q&A session at your own leisure. There are youtube links along with way to enhance your reading pleasure so I hope you make good use of them. Thank you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you... 1 - First Name...

Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

  Investing in the FTSE 100 Index

Advantages: Cheap products, easy to invest in, good dividend yield, unlike shares in a company will never go bust
Disadvantages: Index concentrated in 10 companies meaning more risk, not for ethical investors, sensitive to oil prices

...Using a trading strategy I have been investing in the FTSE 100 index for the past 9 months. Personally I think the FTSE 100 index is a good place to invest for stockmarket novices and veterans alike. There are many different products that allow you to gain some kind of exposure to the index, which is made up to the 100 largest companies in the UK. In this review I will cover the following in regard to the FTSE 100 index: - What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents - Products that can be used to trade in the FTSE 100 index - Methods for trading in the FTSE 100 index - My personal view on the current value of the index What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents The FTSE 100 index is like a barometer that is used to measure the value of the top 100 companies listed on the London...

Big Button 100

Advantages: Large Buttons
Disadvantages: Corded

...£24.99 if purchased via BT £1.49 a month to rent on an 18 month term The Big Button 100 phone is a very simple basic phone, its corded, which in my opinion is not the best, but for most people who require a phone for the features that it offers then its an ideal phone to have. It comes in the Alpine white coloud. As far as I have come across the phone is the only one I have come across to date that actually offers what it does. So what is the phone all about? Easy grip handset and large buttons which is perfect for anyone with poor sight and for the elderly who may find it hard to hold a steady grip Call indicator light- flashes when the phone rings or there are messages waiting. Again this can be very useful if you have poor sight Hear the number of your last caller Speech amplification - adjust the volume...
