My MX850 thoughts!

Advantages: Finally an all in one with network support from Canon
Disadvantages: Reasonably bulky with some very poor setup software

...said this being a fax printer it wouldn't normally be turned off - just allowed to turn itself into standby in which case its ready for printing in about 10 seconds. The on screen display makes using the printer a bit of a doddle, it has adjustment for angle but sadly not contrast although it is good enough from factory anyway. The button layout and general ease of use is improved from the MP750 substantially. Print quality is exceptional, both for speed and results - I could ramble on here about it but to say you shouldn't be disappointed will suffice I think. CD/DVD printing is still just as easy as before but a huge plus over the old one is that the MX850 has a storage slot for the CD tray (beneath the main paper drawer) when its not in use. It has two paper "cassettes" so can store photo paper and A4 at the same time (or other...

Macromedia MX

Advantages: Great for first time webdesigners on a budget
Disadvantages: Not for experts

...I was first introduced to this software at school and have since been hooked. As an alternative to using notepad for making websites it is fantastic. The most useful programs in the package are Dreamweaver (website building) and Fireworks (Graphics). There is also in this set Flash, Freehand and Coldfusion. Dreamweaver is a fantastic piece of software which incorporates all the other elements in the MX packgage with ease. There is the usual graphic and code view, file manger, FTP and much more. The only downside to this program is that when you use html (or other code/scripts) that is not generated by Dreamweaver I have found that it doesn't cope well and rarely crashes. Which is very annoying at least. Fireworks I believe is a God send for website coders who are not strong at graphic design because it is simple to use...

Casio MX8V is as easy as 1 2 3!

Advantages: Robust, reliable with big keys
Disadvantages: No complicated functions.

...When I was at school we had to have scientific calculators- you know the sort, loads of buttons and functions that you could never remember how to use. My children now both have these types floating around inside their schoolbags somewhere but whenever I needed to use a calculator I could never find one! Eventually I tired of trying to use the calculator on my PC or phone and decided to buy myself a proper calculator. The choice of calculators everywhere seemed overwhelming but when I thought about it I really didn't need anything too complicated. I just needed a basic machine for working out my finances etc. I had a look in the Argos catalogue and decided to opt for the Casio MX8V. I had owned Casio calculators in the past and been happy with them and it looked nice and simple! It cost about £5 when I bought it in 2007 and I have...

Stick MX on your amex...

Advantages: new features, new look
Disadvantages: high screen resolution required to get a decent work area

...Whilst my mother announced to me on the phone that she?d just gone and bought an MX-5, I had to content myself with the purchase of Dreamweaver MX ? the successor to Dreamweaver 4, a product which I had used since its launch in late 2000, having grown-up with Dreamweaver ? I remember using Dreamweaver 1.2 at the company I worked for in Brussels way way back? The entire MX range is effectively version six, with the Flash player being called Flash 6 player (it is a plug-in rather than a fully fledged software package). Following hot on the heels of Macromedia?s Flash MX release, which marked the start of the whole new MX concept from Macromedia (to all intents and purposes it sounds suspiciously like their answer to XP ? although admittedly they are not going to be launching an Office package or an Operating System! I always view...

Fantastic Funky Maclaren MX3

Advantages: Really funky looking, easy to steer, loads of storage, from birth, travel system
Disadvantages: Can't hang bags off handle

...on that as haven't got it. Our MX3 buggy has a different coloured pram liner in lime which looks REALLY good against the storm grey. The harness is excellent, and the nicely padded and comfy seat reclines fully so you can use the 'buggy only option' from birth if you didn't want to buy the whole travel system. The Maclaren MX3 is incredibly easy to steer, not really wide like a lot of three wheelers, (good for shopping), very large shopping basket, easy to clean, very funky looking. It feels sturdy, but although not a lightweight buggy it's still under 10 kg. The Maclaren MX3 is 'all terrain' but I've only tried it a couple of times on rough ground - it is very good however.Wheels are large and plastic - despite not being air tyres, suspension seemed really good and it has the facility to lock the front wheel if you want take it...

Logitech MX500 optical mouse without the cheese

Advantages: Tonnes of functions via the 8 buttons. High quality laser
Disadvantages: Software on CD is a bit over the top

...The Logitech MX 500 is the first optical mouse I have owned personally. Having used a couple of different brands at work, I was aware that the quality of these devices differed greatly between manufacturers. I paid £30 for this mouse when I bought it a couple of years ago so you should be able to pick them up for a lot cheaper now. --Whats in the box-- On opening the box, you will find the mouse itself with its extension cable and usb connector, a ps/2 style adapter which connects to the usb end of the mouse to allow it to be connected to the old ps/2 style interface, a quick installation guide and a cd which includes various software such as logitech updates, the logitech desktop and some various other mouse software which is not required. --Setup and Installation-- If you are using the mouse with the usb interface then it...

Win MX IS No Winner

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Seemed impossible to actually download anything

...Before I tried Kazaa I worked my way through several other P2P file sharing applications. One of which was Win MX. I found this one a search engine and went to the home page where I could download it. It was quite simple to find the latest version of the application and within not much time at all I was downloading the file so I could install it onto my computer. The download for this application is rather small in comparison to some I have tried which was good. So as soon as it was fully downloaded I installed it. Seeing as it was such a small file that the exe comes in I didn?t expect for the installation to take very long and I was right as it only took a few seconds. Once it was installed however you have to go through the task of choosing a username and what files you want to share but this doesn?t take very long either. Then...

Pentax Optio MX digital camera/ camcorder

Advantages: Digital Camera and Camcorder in One!!
Disadvantages: Not many

...Brief description of the Pentax Optio MX: The Pentax Optio MX is a great, unique looking camera, if a little clunky. It is great for both amateurs and the more experienced alike. The camera itself is not in the usual 'box' style of most other digital cameras, it has a sleek silver body, with an arm on the right, which rotates 180 degrees. This is where the lithium-ion battery is stored. The 'take picture' button, is encased in zoom button, with the record button a little lower down, all neatly sitting on the shoulder of the handle. The LCD monitor display is on the cameras back, and can be flipped up 210 degrees and swivels 180 degrees, which is great for protecting it from damage. The flash is stored in the top of the camera, and can be erected by the push of a small button on the left hand side. Also on the side are the flash...

Review of Pentax Optio MX

MX2 - cheaper by far (if all goes well)

Advantages: Cheap prices; easy ordering
Disadvantages: Offshore (Guernsey); slowish delivery; poor/no call queues

...My example: ----------- I recently purchased a PC game (Rome Total War) for £17.95 - this was £5-6 cheaper than any other online supplier that I could find. This included delivery! This is partly down to VAT not being charged on the product because it is covered under a Channel Islands VAT loophole for imported goods of this nature. (similar to Play.Com for DVDs). It cannot explain the whole difference though - I was amazed at the price compared with the high street or even other internet retailers. MX2 stock a range of products, not just computer things and have a nice web site to purchase from. Definately worth visiting. The Pros -------- Really good prices. Order process is simple - not too many places to go wrong. Customer services and sales staff are friendly and knowledgeable (reasons why I know below...

MX5 1.8 Sport

Advantages: Dead easy to drop the top (and put it up again)
Disadvantages: Fuel economy coulld be better

...For the Summer I purchased a second hand MX5 1.8 Sports. It was 4 years old and had the matching hard top as well as the permanently fitted cloth soft top. I had done my home work and this was the one that every review was recommending. It is one of the limited edition Sports and as such comes with leather heated seats. First things first, off came the hard top and into storage until winter. The hard top was very simple to remove and the soft top just flips up and down. However neither my wife or I can pull the soft top up when sitting in the seats. One of us has to get out. Both the hard top and soft top have a heated rear window which is essential and in a two seater cabin. The fold up rear wind deflector is not that good so long hair still gets blown forward. Top Gear did an effective demonstration of the difference...
