Everything the casual user needs

Advantages: Easy to use, no unnecessary programs contained
Disadvantages: Would have benefitted from Outlook too

...This piece of software is a ingenious idea by Microsoft. Students are some of the most cash strapped people in society, and so often turned to pirate software as opposed to paying £200+ for some simple word processing programs, which is often all that is needed. This package is perfect for the casual software user. It contains Word, Excel and Powerpoint, all the programs that the average student, or casual home user, needs. Microsoft has also completely redesigned the layout of the programs, choosing an icon based selection process over drop down menus. There are several tabs along the top of the screen that houses the required icons. If you're used to using Office 2003 then this can be annoying at first, as you have to get used to the new layout, but once you do it makes things alot easier. Office 2007 also appears alot more...

Home Alone

Advantages: Comdey none stop
Disadvantages: None

...Home Alone, was a classic hit comedy film that was first released in 1991. Even in my adulthood, I am more than happy to watch the film again, and when I was a kid I use to remember watching this film a hundred times during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays. It was such a feel good family fun film; it was the sort of film that even if you?ve watched it once you would never gets bored watching it over and over again. Plot: The film opens with the entire McCallister family packing for their Christmas vacation to France. The family is exceptionally big, some 30 plus including adults. Kevin McCallister the youngest in the family needs help packing his luggage, the older kids simply don?t have the time or the patience to help him, he feels left out and unwanted, just like most teenagers. A patrol police man Harry played by Joe...

Review of Home Alone (DVD)

For all web users

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...and mostly computer orientated so it’s not that annoying. For £1.20 it’s well buying there’s tonnes to read and 90 pages of useful computer info. You can check the web user site out at: www.web-usr.co.uk and find most of the magazine content here. Overall a very good read, it comes out every fortnight. I enjoy reading it on the train and there’s enough good content to keep me interested until the new issue comes out. For a magazine so cheap I definitely recommend buying it....

  Bargains For Your Home

Advantages: Can save you money on your normal shop
Disadvantages: You pick things up you wouldn't normally. Items change regularly.

...I've done a number of reviews on items that I've picked up cheaply from Home Bargains, so I thought why not do a review on the shop itself? Home Bargains is owned by a company called TJ Morris Ltd and the stores are currently popping up all over the country. I am lucky to have 2 different stores nearby which stock some of the same stuff and some different, so it does go to show that some different products are available at different stores. What things do they sell? You can pick up loads of different things off of your main shopping list in Home Bargains. It is not like a pound shop, which are normally just full of tat and the odd bargain. Home Bargains sell products that you would find in your local supermarket, just at a much lower price. Health and Beauty In my most local store, the first aisle that...

Back Home

Advantages: Westlife, great songs and voices
Disadvantages: A few week links and very ballard orientated

...This is another great album from the 4 Irish men. It is titled Back Home. There are 12 tracks on this CD:- 1 - Home - This is a beautiful ballard from the group which you will have probably have heard on the radio or advertised on the TV when the adverts for this album appears. It has a lovely tune and is very easy listening. 2 - Us against the world - This is another ballard but has a different edge to it from their usual ballards. The tune is very catchy and the song has great words. More upbeat than some of the songhs on the album. There is a very catchy chorus which is very easy to pick up so you will soon be singing along! 3 - Something right - This song has a lovely tune which makes easy listening. The words are very nice but this is not one of my favourite songs. There is a very upbeat feel to this song which does make...

Review of Back Home - Westlife

Simply the best backup for home users

Advantages: Price, slick client, extensive features, set it and forget it automatic backups
Disadvantages: Home version can't backup mapped drives

...Mozy is an online/remote backup company, which basically means you run a client on your computer (PC or Mac), select what you want to backup, and it then automatically and securely copies everything you've selected up to their servers for safekeeping, and from then on automatically updates any changes you make to your documents. First the price - there are a few tiers of service you can buy from Mozy, the free MozyHome service, which is FREE, and provides you with 2GB of backup storage. The paid MozyHome service, which currently is $4.95 per month (or $54.45 per year, which gives you a month free, or 2 yearly subscriptions which save even more) and gives you "unlimited" storage. Finally, the MozyPro service, which is aimed at businesses, and is a lot more expensive. These prices are comparable with I've been using the paid MozyHome...

George Wimpey Homes

Advantages: Modern, affordable homes
Disadvantages: No end of niggles....

...I checked out my local George Wimpey development after being fed up of having very little space in our previous home. The show homes looked fab - they were very modern compared to all the other developer's & prices were much lower than simialr sized homes on nearby developments. We chose a 3-storey home since there was so much more space. Wimpey were fantastic at this point (bear in mind this was 3 yrs ago, when homes were selling well, so they didn't have to be so helpful in order to sell homes....service may be even better now?!). They helped us sell our old home, by lowering the price & making up the difference between the sale price & the average estimated value themselves. They paid all the legal & selling fees, & even threw on £400 for removals! (For which we paid about £50 & pocketed the rest...!). The sales staff at our...

Home of research

Advantages: payments in pounds by cheque
Disadvantages: porr customer service, late payments, dodgy surveys

...I have been a member of home of research for a number of years now and its finally amazing to see how high standards slip. Who they are? What they do. Home of research are an online survey takers, if you join you are emailed a link to surveys a few times per month. These surveys on various subjects earn you points, once your each the threshold of 2000 you can redeem them for payment by cheque of £20. Seems quite simple? The surveys. Surveys can be on anything any subject from DVDs you by to tooth paste, to when you drink alcohol. Basically they want to know everything there is to know on the subjects, although you are not 100% guaranteed to complete a survey, as there are a number of filter questions and the default "sorry you don't fit the criteria for this questionnaire" quite often. Also bare in mind they are...

BT RUBBISH HOME HUB

Advantages: PRETTY FLASHING LIGHTS
Disadvantages: CONSTANT BREAKDOWN

...telling me a Lan cable had been unplugged.Damned if i had touched anything.I did a network connection check and it was all good so i had a look at the hub. The broadband light was a solid green as it should be,the ethernet light was solid too as it was recommended to use ethernet cables. The internet light was flashing as it should showing you were connected.I called BT customer service which is another mistake because they charge at national rates and rarely do you get a person you can understand.I was on the phone for half an hour while the guy took my computer over by remote and started dabbling.At this point he told me to reset the home hub,a small button on the back that you press for 15 seconds and it resets. Ok that worked but let me stress this point to you.I have performed this action no less than 100 times in the 7 months i...
