Format in your factory at home

Advantages: User friendly, vast format options and FREE
Disadvantages: some trouble with 3GP conversion for me??

...I have used many different formatting programs in my time on the old PC, many costing a few pennies and not worth the packaging they came in. I have been using two certain 3GP converters for some time, one to convert TO 3GP and one to convert FROM 3GP, both programs doing a fine job. I have also had several other programs which convert MPG to AVI, or MP4 to WMV, MP3 to WMA and many more, but after a certain person told me about a certain program which does it all in one I had to give it a go. And that program in question is Format Factory, which you can get for free from www.download.com and other places. ** WHAT IS IT THEN..? It is a Free program which will easily convert most formats into almost any other format. The download is just over 16MB and comes in a zipped folder. Once installed it will sit on your PC, taking...

Betterware Large Heavy Duty Oven Liner

Advantages: kepps oven floor clean
Disadvantages: price

...We regularly have a Betterware booklet posted through our door as we have a sales representative living just round the corner. . I rarely buy from this catalogue, but I was browsing through and saw this oven liner. I had the previous day cleaned my oven, not a job I love. This is what inspired me to buy this large heavy duty oven liner. . You may be a neat cook with never getting any spillages or fat sprays on the oven floor , however I am not and decided this oven liner might save me some work. I ordered this oven liner from my representative and waited a week for delivery . If you have no local salesperson you can buy online at http://www.betterware.co.uk. Product Code: 039422 . This liner cost me £9.99. This liner is a large liner 50 x 40cm (19 3/4" x 15 3/4") too big for the floor of my oven so I cut it easily...

Xerox 8265 eco-solvent large format printer

Advantages: Good service & support, great print quality
Disadvantages: Too many mechanical problems - not reliable

...We are a studio based in Montreal, Canada. This is the 1 place I found where I can post a review on this printer. As rated, this product has poorly designed and hence I would never recommend a xerox large format printer after having been acquainted with 2 of them. Professionals are much better off with HP that are superior and quite more reliable. Here are the flaws I have to point out: - Mechanics that renders the daily use annoying: rear load of media requires a lot more working area - type of rear load not precise since printing a 10 foot ot more banner can get skewed at the end if media is not loaded completely straght into printer. Hence a non print margin of .5 inches can narrow down to nothing from start to end of print - "on" & "off" button is ridiculously positioned next to other function buttons on main interface...

PC Format - format fun!

Advantages: Great read, range of features
Disadvantages: Costs too much, and CDs aren't superb

...PC?s have become a lot more about gaming in recent times. However, this does not mean we should neglect the more serious side of the machine, hardware and software related. That?s why it?s essential PC users have access to a magazine that covers both fields in detail, or else no-one will learn anything and we?ll get nowhere. Magazines are often a good place to turn in times of need, the first place to look for the answers to your questions. PC Format is a long running magazine covering both subjects. Now past its 100th issue, you can be assured the writers know what they?re talking about, and that your every need will be catered for. You?ll find games news, previews and reviews, features on hardware, and hardware reviews, as well as a variety of letters pages. The coverCDs are usually pretty good too, there are usually two ? one...

Moleskine Large Notebook Rules

Advantages: Perfect: Size, Weight, Feel, Quality and some.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive; but worth the money

...GENERAL INFORMATION The product: An imitation leather (cardboard) bound notebook, with a ribbon page holder and the famous 'Moleskine' expandable insert in the back (for those important, loose, documents). Dimensions(centimetres): 21.1 by 13.5 by 1.8 The notebook has 240 (acid-free) pages, and 31 lines per page. An elastic enclosure surrounding the book, and all Moleskine products come with a history of Moleskine leaflet. OPINION Only a notebook that you want to write in is worth having, and Moleskines' large notebook is one of those books; simply a pleasure. The notebooks Moleskine produce are made to the best quality, yet they remain slim and stylish, no wonder some of the best writers (past and present) have sworn by them. PRICE CHECK Amazon have it for £8.07, this is where I buy my notebooks, the best price I...

Review of Moleskine Large Ruled Notebook - Patricia Calder

Does a great job

Advantages: Free and easy
Disadvantages: Perhaps the speed but it is not a serious disadvntage

...Format Factory is one of those neat little utilities that you find for free on the net. Well actually I was lead to it by reading a Ciao review on it, and decided to investigate further. I have a Palm Tungsten and have to convert many little video gems from places such as You Tube. The software I currently have has worked pretty much 100% until I found this new video site. For some reason the conversions are garbled and pixelated so I thought I?d download Format Factory and give it a go. If after reading this review you think it might benefit you then simply Google Format Factory and follow the link. A fairly quick download and you as I am will be in business. After installing the software and opening it up you are presented with a nice light blue screen in the centre of your monitor. Using the simple menu system...

Review of Format Factory

Great for students or employees with large documentation!

Advantages: Suits documents and media processing
Disadvantages: Gaming is a big NO NO on this machine.

...The core 2 duo processor really helps with the media side of computers. 2 very powerful machines work together to provide a very quick response rate. as it is made by Dell you know great support is available, while you may be able to find a similar spec laptop at cheaper cost. I believe the ram is upgradable which is probably recommended to DDR3, as this will help with the gaming aspect if thats what you are into. BEWARE! - If you are into gaming, this isnt the machine for you, the integrated graphics card is bad, but if its not an issue read on. It the perfect laptop for office/college work. It has a large hard drive to store all the documents, while will perform quickly to increase your efficiency. The screen size is average but with connection to the internet available and comes with Vista pre-installed which is useful. -Just a note...

A new Format for PC Format

Advantages: good all-rounder mag
Disadvantages: not an lot about anything due to all-rouder nature

...PC Format is a great computing magazine. It has a mixture of games reviews and hardware/computer reviews. It has a quite large section with news on the computing world, recent gaming events and new hardware announcements. The magazine has recently been re-designed to a more ‘modern’ style and everything is easy to find. -Software- PC Format has previews upcoming games and reviews of recently released games. The reviews are 1 or 2 pages and about 1/3 of that is usually pictures. The games are given a percentage score with advantages and disadvantages for each game. It also compares them to other recent games of the same genre. It also reviews new utilities and applications. These are mostly graphical and financial programs. There is a page of DVD film reviews as well. -Hardware- PC Format reviews new computers...

Review of PC Format

PC Format

Advantages: Information about every different area of computing.
Disadvantages: Some sections could do with more information in them.

...If you only ever buy one PC magazine then this is the one you should buy. One look on the shelves in your local newsagants and you'll be overpowered by the huge range of PC magazines on offer. So why should you buy PC Format instead of one of the many others? Well over the years i've tried many different PC magazines yet still seem to find myself always coming back to PC Format. A lot of the other magazines seem to be concentrating more on particular areas of computing these days such as games, hardware, internet, etc. What most people want is a magazine which tells them about all aspects of PC's without having to shell out hard earned cash on several specialised ones. PC Format does just that, this is why it is so popular. It is published by Future Publishing and is now available in both CD and DVD versions. The CD version costs £4...
