Great for all you parallel needs!

Advantages: faster connection than rated, vista compatability
Disadvantages: nothing that I could see!

...the converters, and only for a few quid, but the said salesperson said that they would not work in my case, and offered me another cable, for £30, which was never going to fit, so I thought I\'d try a new parallel port instead. I ordered this, and I was so impressed when it arrived. even for a no-hoper like me, helped by my less-hoper girlfriend, we slotted this into the back of the computer easily, and when it was installed, I didn\'t even need the drivers for my apparently vista-risky printer. All the functions work well, although the software was of course needed for the specialist functions. My mate who is better with all things PC than I came round, and apparently the port tests at 2Mbps - 33% faster than it is rated for. All in all, a great card for those need a - or an extra - parallel port :)...

Review of Driver: Parallel Lines (PS2)

Parallel Lines - Blondie

Advantages: Some Superb Songs
Disadvantages: Some Tracks Are Quite Short

...however something that the Band were never entirely happy with. There was no doubt that they had been heavily influenced by the new wave of New York Punk Bands that had emerged in the middle of the seventies and their first Album had been very well received. Its follow up Plastic Letters however was not quite so warmly received although it had given the Band their UK breakthrough on the singles chart with its two singles, Denis (number 2) and (I'm always touched by your) Presence, Dear (number 10). A change of direction was needed for their third Album, something that would drop their Punk tag in favour for something much more experimental, and more commercially acceptable to the masses. In 1978 that change of direction came with the release of Parallel Lines. Over 25 years after its original release Parallel Lines is now widely accepted...

Review of Parallel Lines - Blondie

Parallel Lines

Advantages: Fascinating stories that we don't normally hear.
Disadvantages: Too focused on Davenport, struggles with ending.

...I'm slightly cynical about the story of the creation of Parallel Lines. From watching the film, one is given the impression that it all just fell into place, and a documentary was the outcome. The more weathered viewer though may look at the film, and come to the impression that the whole concept was constructed. However, this does not make the stories within the film any less real or honest. Parallel Lines is by documentary filmmaker Nina Davenport, who like so many of her peers, can't seem to resist putting the camera on herself, even if she is also person operating the camera. We follow her as she travels across the US at the end of 2001, to afraid to fly after the events of September 11. Her journey will take her from California to her home in New York that overlooks the site of the World Trade Center. Living out of her car...

A Parallels Dream

Advantages: Able to run PC based Applications on a Mac
Disadvantages: Having to buy Windows

...This opens a new world for Mac users to take advantage of all the benefits that PC user have. Parallels Desktop for Mac is simple software that allows you to create different operating environments and install software to those area's. You then flexibility of running Windows on a Mac OS X simultaneously without rebooting. You can use it on any Intel-powered iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, & Mac Pro Towers. At first I did think "Oh virtual PC" nightmare very unstable a real pain working between the two environments. But you can put that out of your head because this is great, honestly I cant fault it, it has been excellent. Now, I will be honest with you Im not much of a technical expert in all things IT which was the reason I first started to use Mac's but this was very simple to install and setup, it says on the box 3 simple...

  Port El Kantaoui

Advantages: Beautiful Beaches
Disadvantages: Mainly For Couples, Hassle From Local Shopkeekers

...Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis. It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort. I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear...

Bon Vacances at Port Bourgenay

Advantages: Masses to do, something for everyone.
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit pricey in high season

...beyond our budget if it wasn't for the Clubcard vouchers that are worth four times their face value, but after much debate and research we plumped for Port Bourgenay, run by Pierre et Vacances, as it looked like it was in a perfect location, is close to the beach, and there seemed to be a lot to do. It cost somewhere in the region of £1000 for the accommodation (£250 in deals) for seven nights and £300 for the return ferry. ~*~ Location ~*~ We live in the south west, so a Portsmouth - Cherbourg crossing is ideal for us. We always get the earliest ferry (around 9am) so we arrive in France around 3pm which gives us plenty of time to drive to our accommodation and settle in by bed time. Or so I thought! This really wasn't the easiest place to find at all. We knew the main towns that we had to head towards: Rennes, Nantes, La...

Review of Parallels Desktop

The last Printer with a Parallel port...

Advantages: Stylish, quiet and a Parallel port !
Disadvantages: Tricky installation

...Panic ! Panic ! I needed a new printer for my 386 to print out CVs only to find that the Olivetti supplied with my PC had given up the ghost. No problem I thought. I'll just get a new low cost printer from one of the high street retailers. A quick look on the internet for a low cost printer with a parallel port quickly revealed USB. USB everywhere ! The familiar parallel port that I had virtually grown up with had disappeared. Luckily Epson came to the rescue. They seem to have the only low cost inkjet printer on the market with a parallel port [and USB]. I found the cheapest supplier of the Epson C64 to be Comet £61.09 [inc. VAT]. I bought it on-line and it had free delivery and promptly arrived 2 days later. Installation on the Epson hardware was simple and straight forward. Installation of the software was a bit trickier. After...

"Calem" Port the taste of Porto

Advantages: Port lovers paradise
Disadvantages: Too many to try for one visit.

...We spent a wonderful long weekend in Porto. One of our places to visit if we get round to it. Whilst we where there we visited the Port Wharfs, due to the name and my love of Port. We set off on the Sunday morning, and had a varied trip to get there by the tram, vehicular and the old trolley bus. We travelled over the bridge designed by Eifel who designed the Eifel Tower, in fact he designed two bridges that span the Rio Douro, both well worth walking over if you have a head for heaths go on the top level if not use the lower level, your choice. As you are on the higher level looking over the Douro River you have a vista of all of the Port houses, all the names that you have heard of at Christmas on the TV, and seen in the adverts in the papers and magazines. We opted for ?Calem? as it was open on the Sunday...
