Suck your air out and triple the storage

Advantages: Storage problems solved easily
Disadvantages: None!

...JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags Why I bought them... A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem. Since retiring to enjoy my boat and freedom, my income has dwindled to nil and downsizing is the name of the game. My car has downsized too, now a little Ford KA, great for shopping but pretty useless for anything involving luggage or bulk. I needed a cheap way of cramming as much into the car as humanly possible, hiring a vehicle was out of the question so I came up with the idea of Vacuum Storage Bags as a method of transporting my gear. What they do.... The idea is that you pack your items for storage in the plastic bag and then seal it with the aid of a little...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...

Revoutionary Storage

Advantages: Small, Good Brand, Reliable
Disadvantages: May be too small and easy to loose

...Compact Flash cards are fast becoming one of the most popular removable storage devices in use today. They are possibly one of the great inventions of the digital photographic revolution. There are increasing numbers of manufacturers of cameras and other photo related products who are adopting this format for their products and i suppose you can see why when they are so compact. You'll find for example that better inkjet printers will now have a Sandisk slot somewhere. Therefore, it isn't likely that you will have compatibility problems as you'll find this card is usable with a wide range of items such as cameras, PDAs and other electrical devices that require some sort of memory storage As far as speed is concerned it's unlikely you'll be disappointed with a Sandisk card as they are reckoned to be as fast as any others out...

Little soldiers of the data storage world

Advantages: Reliable, very very reliable
Disadvantages: Some card readers just cant keep up with how good the larger cards are (over 2 gig)

...camera and PC. Not once have I had any issues regarding corrupt data or damaged cards despite possibly over using them beyond there intended purpose. They truly are like little soldiers of the data storage world, Amazing. Now one thing to bear in mind when choosing a Sandisk or any other SD card is that in many card readers and some other devices, they tend to struggle above 2 gigabites and often will refuse to read them at all. So with that in mind this particular card is my most strongly recommended for almost all potential buyers....

Sunny San Diego

Advantages: Gorgeous scenery, sunshine
Disadvantages: transport links

...I visited San Diego last October due to a work meeting. As it was such a long way to travel I thought it would be a good idea to add on a few days holiday to explore the area with a friend who was coming along. Getting There There are direct flights to San Diego from London however at the time these were three times as expensive as a fare with stopovers in the US and with a friend coming I wanted our flights to be as cheap as possible. Our flights went from Heathrow to Washington where we changed planes for a flight to Chicago and then another change for a plane to LA, where we got our final plane to San Diego. This may seem too much for some, but for me it was great as the plane changing gave me a chance to stretch my legs. I think I would have found 13 hours cooped up in a plane too much! One thing I did ensure was that the route...

Review of San Diego (California)

A San Frantastic Boutique Hotel

Advantages: The price, the location, the staff, the rooms, everything
Disadvantages: ...our shower was like needles

...Introduction: So, we're stuck in Albuquerque, and have pretty much seen about as much desert as we can take. We've 'done' all there is to do. With a spare weekend on our hands, we decided to take advantage of our Geographical positioning and take a trip to somewhere on the west coast. I've always wanted to see San Francisco, and after looking into flights, we found some bargains. So off we go. We looked for reasonable hotels, and came across The Petite Auberge, it wasn't the cheapest we found, but it had an appealing charm that won us over, so we booked. Company info: The Petite Auberge is part of the Joie De Vivre chain, I found this information on their website: "Joie de Vivre Hotels is California's largest boutique hotel company. Started in San Francisco in 1987 by Chip Conley, while in his mid-twenties, Joie de...

GTA San Andreas: The Ultimate RPG?

Advantages: Entertaining; challenging; gripping; enjoyable
Disadvantages: Likely to offend if taken too seriously

...Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the eighth game in the GTA series, and the third of the current 3D format. It follows Vice City, and fans of this game will note several references throughout San Andreas, most notably the reappearances of Ken Rosenberg and of Kent Paul (Danny Dyer), who for San Andreas have added Macca (Shaun Ryder) to their line-up. Allusions are also made to GTA III and GTA: Liberty City. San Andreas is the last game in the GTA III spin-off series. The game begins in the fictional town of Los Santos, in the early 1990s. You are Carl Johnson, AKA CJ, a young man with a troubled background who ran away to Liberty City after his younger brother was killed, who returns to his home following the murder of his mother, caught up in gang violence, in order to attend her funeral. Upon his return to the town he is immediately...

Review of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)

San Andreas

Advantages: Massive Game, Great Graphics
Disadvantages:

...GTA San Andreas Well this is the next great game in the series of GTA. It is so much bigger and better than the one before it. It allows for so much more interaction in the game. Now being able to do things such as going to the gym and play games etc it is just beyond all other gaming experiences. I have found that the game is just totally massive there are three different islands which are all huge. I've had the game for over a year and still seem to be finding things to do. The main aim of the game is to get respect. You can do this by completing missions and advancing in the game. Another way in which to get respect would be to have great stamina and muscles etc. The game has so much detail involved it's quite incredible. You start off at the beginning of the game trying to find your way home on a bicycle; this is the very...

San Miguel!

Advantages: reasonable strength, refreshing, tasty, cheap.
Disadvantages: not for repeated consumption.

...San Miguel Premium is a very tasty lager beer thats got a really sweet, refreshing aftertaste that is great for the cash. If you fancy a bit of a change, it is definitely worth a try. Like any alcohol, it is best enjoyed in moderation. However this one moreso, as it starts to get a little bit sickly after the third or fourth pint. It is something to drink between different beers, if not on its own. -- Definitely not something you can drink all night. Its best to buy in a supermarket as it is disproportionately cheaper than in a pub. It is available in ASDA and TESCO in both cans and bottles. It is thirst-quenching and best served chilled and is often enjoyed in hot climates. As the name may have led you to believe, it is very popular in Spain and is the strongest export of Spanish Beer. 4%. ABV. Summary: A fine Spanish Beer...

Storage For The Masses

Advantages: A decent capacity, pretty cheap, vertically mounted
Disadvantages: Not really all that portable, can be a bit noisy for a bedroom, it's grey!

..., there was a total refusal to write to it. So, do I recommend it? In a word - Yes! Whether it's for an extension of your current storage capabilities or as a back-up device it definitely does the job. If you're looking for a slim and sleek portable device then I can't recommend it, but as part of a stationary computer set-up then I definitely can. Oh, and it's also finally got my various files organised :)...
