Special Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc 2007

Advantages: Top quality kit
Disadvantages: Nothing at all

...Being a mountain bike mad man I decided it was time to get a new bike. Shopping around for a bike these days gets complicated with the huge variety of bikes you can buy and for a wide price range. Me being me I like the hard tail mountain bikes. That's a bike without rear suspension. If your on recreational cycling or after some sport competition then a hard tail is a good choice for a reasonable choice. THE BIKE HOW MUCH and CHOOSING IT Anyways, after much decision making I finally went for the Specialised Rockhopper Comp Disc 2007 bike. At £749 this for me is actually not a bad price bearing in mind you can get bikes for £4000 plus. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but its worth it for that little extra upgrade over the model below. I went for the Rockhopper because I know it has a good all round reputation as...

Review of Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc

Specialized Rockhopper Disc

Advantages: Fantastic bike for the money
Disadvantages: Forks and tyre

...A super bike for the money. The M4 frame is top notch and is very responsive through the corners and when you put the power down no power is lost. The Avid Juicy 3 brakes are good to as you would hope although they have a fair bit of travel on the leavers before they bite. The only components that let the bike down are the RockShox Tora 302 SL forks due to them not being so smooth in the travel, and the other problem I found are the tyres that are rubbish in damp off road conditions. They tyres are ok for dry conditions but in the UK when do we get those (very rarely). All in all a very good fun bike for the money....

Review of Specialized Rockhopper Disc

To create those professional looking discs

Advantages: Durable, reliable, low failure rate, ability to etch on a label
Disadvantages: A bit slower than some discs

...Verbatim light scribe DVD+Rs are discs used to back up and burn all your home movies on. Each disc can store up to 4.7 GB of data, which equates to roughly 2 hours of film, which I consider to be more than enough for a home movie since I find people tend to get bored after an hour or so. One of the best features of the verbatim is the light scribe facility. For those of you that are unaware a light scribe facility enables you to print an iridescent label directly on the face of the disc meaning no more sticky labels (that tend to peel off) or scribbling with a marker pen. What?s more, with light scribe you are not limited to just text as it is possible to etch an image (either a picture taken from the internet or one of your own digital photographs) straight on to the disc creating a professional looking label every time. If you are...

Review of Verbatim DVD+R 4.7GB 16X LightScribe

Plays any disc

Advantages: With multi-region feature
Disadvantages: None

...Philips DVP3310 When my old DVD player died, I wanted an immediate replacement for it since there are DVDs that I really love to watch over and over like Titanic, Somewhere in Time and Face-Off. My toddler also loves to watch ?Tom and Jerry Show? almost every morning. I?m not really that keen on DVD player?s technicalities so I really didn?t know what to look for in a DVD player. I was just used to plug, play and watch on my old DVD player. Some of my DVDs are not playable on my former player. Somebody told me that I needed to get a multi-region DVD player that plays all kinds of discs. I started my internet search on a multi-region DVD player and I ended up ordering Phillips DVP3310 and paid £45 for it. The delivery was quick. I ordered it Monday and it arrived Thursday morning. In the box *Phillips DVP3310 DVD...

CRACKING 2 - DISC DVD, GROMIT!

Advantages: This is pure comedy escapism for all the family!
Disadvantages: Absolutely none, unless you don't like laughing!

...Works to help him make a full-length film starring his beloved Wallace & Gromit. The answer from DreamWorks was a resounding 'YES!' and thus 'The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' was created. The film came out in 2005 and has only just been released on DVD. To celebrate, the manufacturers have released the film as part of a 2 disc DVD special edition. Here is what you can expect to get: DISC ONE ~~THE FILM ~~ I give this film 5 stars. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot, because I didn't know very much about the storyline before I watched it, so it was a pleasant surprise. All I will tell you is that Wallace & Gromit's village has been over-run by rabbits and our heroes now work in pest control, calling themselves 'Anti-Pesto', if you can believe it! Wallace (who lets face it is a bit of a pest himself), is still hopelessly...

Review of Wallace & Gromit - The curse of the were-rabbit (2 disc special)

From the case to my cd player

Advantages: Scottish, celtic niche, very pleasant
Disadvantages: band seems to be always falling out

...Maiden & Judas Priest to name a few. The book has the song lyrics and the entire booklet, cover work and disc have a real feel of quality to them. The cover picture of the Highlander with wode on his face holding the baby is also printed onto the disc itself. It is easy to see that a lot of thought and hard work as gone into every aspect of the album and as a result it as paid off with the Highland Glory really delivering the goods. Discography Forever Endeavour (2005) As of April 2007 Highland Glory started working on their third album which will be titled "Holocauster Ride". Sadly Jan Thore Grefstad has left the band and has been replaced by another lead vocalist......Hope he is good! Thank you for all the reads/rates, Addy ☺ © May 2008...

Review of From the Cradle to the Brave - Highland Glory

Microboards GX-2 Disc Publisher

Advantages: "works" with Mac and Windows
Disadvantages: Too many to list.

...To put it simply, this is a horrible bit of kit. Now, going into more detail: - The software (Discribe) is glitchy at best (running under OsX 10.4). - The drivers (should you decide not to use Discribe) refuse to work with other programs (again, under OsX). Even though the manual says that you can install the drivers and print from any application (I tried Photoshop CS3) the printer will tell you "out of discs" even though you've fed it with discs. -The hardware is terrible. >Build quality is very low (bits will come unglued, yes, it is GLUED together!) >The CD holder has some weird design whereby you need to load 5-discs flat and then the rest at some angle (no mention of this in the manual - contact their support after days of frustration to find this out) >Speed!!! It is ludicrously slow! If you're burning, you'de be...

Review of MicroBoards GX-2 Disc Publisher

The disc, the disc, the disc is on fire.........

Advantages: Has the light scribe facility, cheap, reliable - Great value for money
Disadvantages: Not pleasing to the eye, fairly large and bulky, loud during the burning process

...Firstly, I would like to point out that I am firmly against movie piracy and had no intention of planning a DVD copying scam, (I wouldn?t know where to start in the first place) but required a re-writable DVD drive to burn home movies created with an HD camera given to me by my parents. Whilst many computers and laptops have such a drive, mine, unfortunately, does not. What I needed was something that did exactly what it says on the tin and just burn discs, so I was not overly bothered about; i) The looks of the drive (functionality is key here) ii) The physical size of the drive (it was going to be used at home only) iii) How much noise the drive makes during the burning process (there is a volume control on the TV); or iv) The writing speed of the drive (I can be very patient when I need to be) My wish list of features...

Review of LG GSA E60L Super-Multi

Cheap way to BIGGER muscles - Not a scam.. promise!

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Small chipping occurs

...So now for the weights (after my other reviews on weights bars and their many uses!) I?m guessing that for most of the readers, you?re probably either looking for new weights to stack your weights bar and get lifting, or possibly your already a lifter, and are looking for bigger heavier weights to add to that bar, or lastly, you?ve just had a bad experience with another set of weight and have decided a change. Whatever your reason, the York Disc is perfect. Information The disc comes in a black colour in several different weight categories 0.5kg 1.25kg 2.5kg 5kg 10kg 15kg 20kg 25kg Packaging is in a box with each weight disc wrapped in a plastic bag, unsealed. As for the durability, they are good, although i haven?t put it completely to the test by dropping them several stories, however, for normal daily use, they are great. One...

Review of York Standard Cast Iron Disc

Welcome to the Disc

Advantages: Fantastic Characters, Exhilarating Stories
Disadvantages: Not enough of them!

...'t missed one yet. Now you should probably be aware that this review is going to be very long, so I highly recommend you make a cup of tea, or get yourself another beer before you get into the opinion itself... ##### Introduction ##### Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is a loosely connected set of books set on, predictably, the Discworld. A flat world, carried through space on the back of 4 great elephants, in turn supported by a giant turtle (Great A'Tuin), it is a world in which quite literally anything can happen. Many of the stories focus on one particular area of the Disc itself - Ankh Morpork - a city whose river is less liquid than an ashtray and whose ruler's philosophy is that if you make everything legal, you get less crime. There is a cast of characters, to a certain extent, that appear frequently throughout the series...
