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...

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

...and gives a very good picture. I was amazed when I watched a video on it the picture was actually better than my TVs. Battery The battery can last up to 24 hours it goes quicker the louder you listen to it, the more games you play on it and when you watch videos. Price The iPods start from £99.99 for a 4 GB version and for the 8 GB version it costs £129.99 the iPod is excellent values for money and you can't really fault it. Recommendation I would defiantly recommend this to any potential buyers it's a really good, easy to use mp3 player. Which has many features that other mp3s don't have such as the ability to play and download games and videos. It also has a decent screen size and quality. This ipod is a definate must....

Video Nasties

Advantages: Friendly atmosphere, staff discount
Disadvantages: Very few other staff benefits

...I've been working part-time at Choices Video in my home town since September 2001, and I have to say that, most of the time, I really do enjoy my job. The people are friendly, it's quite flexible, but the pitfalls are a real pain sometimes. BACKGROUND ------------------------- Choices Video is part of the Home Entertainment Corporation, which aside from video rental shops also distributes rental products to local shops such as Alldays and independant ones. They have their own film distribution arm, Mosaic Entertainment, which buys rights to video and dvd of films. HEC was founded in 1985, and the first Choices Video rental store was opened in 1986. There are now 213 branches in the UK. WHERE I WORK -------------------------- I work in the smaller Ipswich branch of Choices (there are two). We're situated in a row of shops...

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Welcome To The Videos

Advantages: great music videos, like 'November Rain', 'Don't Cry' and 'Paradise City'.
Disadvantages: No extras. A few videos missing that I feel should have been on it.

...As a huge fan, and someone who regrets not being old enough to ever see this band live when they were in their prime, I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when Guns 'n' Roses were announced as performers a few years back on MTV Video Awards. Though it was clear Axl Rose was the only original member left, there was still much anticipation as I felt even with the new band members, it would still have that old Guns 'n' Roses feel to it, due to the fact that I know Axl Rose made a great deal of the decisions and chose the direction music wise, in the days when Guns 'n' Roses were truly on top. This was going to be amazing. Although I would not be able to see them live at the MTV Video Awards, them performing there surely meant there would be a tour.... perhaps even another album... However. Excitement quickly turned to...

Red Hot Greatest Videos

Advantages: The videos and special features
Disadvantages: The layout of the DVD intro selections

...Red Hot Chili Peppers - Anthony Kiedis (Vocals), Flea (Bass), John Prusciante (Guitar), Chad Smith (Drums) This DVD of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's greatest videos is a big selling DVD version of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's greatest hits album. The DVD shows the best and worst times of the Chili Peppers success and even the making of the videos within the special features. The videos play for 58 mins and the extras running time is 104 mins. The extras include the making off and their tour diaries. I bought this DVD about 2 years ago from my local Asda for £9.99. I don't know the reason why I bought it but I loved it! I watched the videos to 'Can't Stop' and 'By The Way' because they were 2 songs I had heard. 'Can't Stop' is a very random video including many weird props to make up the video such as dustbins and glowsticks. 'By The Way...

Metalllica's music video's for the first time

Advantages: most of the best Metallica has to offer
Disadvantages: none, this is great

...Metallica are an american heavy metal come thrash metal band, that formed in 1981. Metallica is considered one of the major bands to really lead the way for thrash metal, along side bands like megadeth. This is the third DVD in my metallica collection. I also have the fantastic S&M concert with the San Francisco Philarmonic orchestra, and the Cunning Stunts live concert. Whilst the cover to Metallica the videos looks a little dull and uninspiring, it does contain a real decent DVD. For fans of Metallica this has many of the classic older tracks, as well as some of the stuff from the newly reformed Metallica, and the St. Anger album. The DVD is done in 5.1 surround sound and played very loud sounds just peachy. James Hetfields nice deep powerful voice just booms out in style. So what do you get for your cash? For starters you get 21...
