FreeAgent Go 120 GB

Advantages: Very fast, quiet and sleek design
Disadvantages: Could have a bigger capacity

...the 120gb hard drive is too much space, you can also get an 80gb hard drive from FreeAgent Go. The transfer speeds between a PC/laptop to the hard drive are very fast with speeds of 5400RPM, a fast speed for a hard drive of that capacity. Software There is little amount of software already installed onto the hard drive however the software that is installed is very useful enabling the user to enable passwords and safenotes using the AI RoboForm which can easily be downloaded from the ceedo program directory. Cost This product cost me £70 from Argos, but it can also be bought at many computer based stores including PC World. Costs usually vary between £60 and £80 but if you look in the right places you can probably find a new one for around £50. Problems/Other Info There have currently been no problems...

Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB

Advantages: cheap - all that it is
Disadvantages: poor structure, prone to overheating, not reliable

...Out shopping for a new external hard drive the Seagate FreeAgent Desktop caught my eye. It looked appealing with a massive 500GBs and 5 year limited warrenty as standard. I thought it was great value for money. The dimensions are (WxDxH) 4 cm x 16.2 cm x 19 cm and it is 0.9kg in weight. This product is black in colour with a yellow strip of light which is constantly on, though it isn't too bright so i had no problems there.

These are also compatible with the following - OS Required Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Apple MacOS X 10.3.9 or later, Microsoft Windows Vista, Apple MacOS X 10.4.6 or later This all sounded promising.

The Station Agent

Advantages: excellent writing, acting, direction...
Disadvantages: none.

...The Station Agent is an extraordinary film for a number of reasons. The first is that it is stunningly simple in story and script and yet intriguingly complex in theme and emotional resonance. The second is that it has a strong social conscience without a hint of condescension. The third is that it is funny, touching, sweet, lyrical and beautifully paced, which is sadly not something we see every day. This tiny crystalline gem of a movie took the critics by storm and as far as I can see, they were entirely within reason to praise it to the skies. The Film Stuff: Finbar McBride - PETER DINKLAGE Olivia Harris - PATRICIA CLARKSON Joe Oramas - BOBBY CANNAVALE Cleo - RAVEN GOODWIN Emily - MICHELLE WILLIAMS Written and Directed by THOMAS McCARTHY in his directorial debut. 88 mins Certificate 15 Fin lives...

I Spy Two Undercover Programs

Advantages: Too many to list here
Disadvantages: Wait a minute, I'm sure there must be one...

...When I first started writing this op, I got terribly bogged down with describing what newsgroups are and how you use them. I?ve trashed that bit now, and have decided instead to concentrate on these programs and how they work, and only briefly touch on what newsgroups are. ***** Warning: this is going to be a fairly long op, and I apologize for that in advance. I probably should have asked Ciao to open a separate category for each of these two programs, but I didn?t. Mea Culpa and please forgive me! Now, on to the op. ***** The two programs that Forté, Inc. (http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php) brings us are Agent and Free Agent. According to their web pages: Agent is the top-rated USENET Newsreader on the Internet: § Streamline the process of collecting binaries such as music, pictures, and movies. Agent...

My Secret Agent.....

Advantages: Too many to mention!
Disadvantages: Bit fiddly, but worth it in the end!

...front of him saying 'Would you please let go of my nadgers?' Fun fun fun, all the way! We really ought to get out more! The possibilities are endless! Believe me too, if my Mum can do it, anyone can! (Sorry Mum!) A-hem!

Review of Microsoft Agent

With a Bang and a Clunk (Polity Agent - Neal Asher)

Advantages: decent world, good technology, lots of action
Disadvantages: Boring: too much technology, too many battles, not enough social background

...This is a fourth book set in the Polity and it features Agent Cormac and some other characters known from previous instalments. It's not part of a saga, though, and it's perfectly readable as a stand alone, as enough explanation (in fact, perhaps even bit too much, as it often is the case with s-f books) is provided. Jain nodes, a lethal nanotechnology designed to destroy civilisations is rearing its ugly head again in the Polity. Who is distributing the nodes? What do they have to do with the giant biotechnology construct called Dragon produced by the Makers' civilisation, itself destroyed by Jain tech 800 years in the future? And what exactly is the mysterious entity calling itself the Legate representative of? Agent Cormac, Sparkind special forces members and various researchers and AIs combine forces to find answers to these...

Review of Polity Agent - Neal Asher

Lovely estate agents

Advantages: Sold my house at asking price
Disadvantages: I don't receive service like that everyday

...'t want to go and see that one the garden is a mess/the lounge is pokey/its not the best area. It worried me that these people were tying to sell me a property, not put me off it! Other estate agents were slow, unhelpful or uninterested. Walking into the Connells branch was totally different. They were hard at work, but I was acknowledged straight away and asked to take a seat. They took details of the type of property I was interested in and showed me a few on their books. They asked good questions, such as whether a garage was an essential or just nice to have in order to not rule out potential properties. They asked if they could value our property and I said yes straight away. The valuation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicola had been booked to do the valuation, and turned up promptly. She was friendly but professional. All the room sizes...

Review of Connell Estate Agents

500GB External HDD Reviewed by the Geek !

Advantages: Portability, 500GB storage, Speed, Reliability, Warranty
Disadvantages: Slightly strange brown colour

...very easy to have the drive run from a different PC if I wanted to. The offer with DABS was actually very good, in that the cost of the drive was going to be less than that for an internal 500GB SATAII drive, bargain ! I placed the order ( and I have to say, was very happy with the ordering / delivery process ) and I received the drive within 2 days. Once received, you can see that the product is very well packaged ( which is something I am very keen on, it shows that the product will be well protected during transport - not very good for us Eco-Friendly people, but the majority of packaging was cardboard containers, so its all recyclable - which is a plus ) Once you open up the box, (which also has a security seal on to show whether its been tampered with - which is also good ) you see the following FreeAgent desktop drive...
