Sanyo PLC-SU20 A Good All-Rounder

Advantages: Very Robust, Well Constructed, Will Last A Lifetime!
Disadvantages: No lamp counter

...Sanyo PLC-SU20 The Sanyo PLC-SU20 multimedia projector is one of the best projectors in the world. Immediately, you are now going to be wondering why?!?!?! It's bulky, it's not very aesthetically appealing and it's hardly the best spec. in the world. But this is such a reliable projector! I have owned several of these projector and not one has let me down. They just seem to go and go without fault. The projector's are very robustly made as it has been designed for portability. The projector has a very handy fold out handle. This is very strong so you have no worries about it breakig after continuous use, When it's not in use, the handle folds away and sits flush with the side of the projector and is hardly noticeable. This is one of Sanyo's earliest portable projectors. You can understand Sanyo's ranges quite easily. Every...

Review of Sanyo PLC SU20

Quality projector, features for the user

Advantages: User friendly, Bright and good quality
Disadvantages: A recommended 3 metres from the screen or wall etc

...you can flip or rotate the picture to be the right way up, even if the image would normally be upside down). There are plenty of sockets and connectors. You can connect the standard data cable (or VGA - Visual Graphics Array) to your laptop from the projector. You get audio and video sockets, which can be used to connect your VCR, DVD, etc upto it to have your own home cinema. The audio quality is fantastic and because it is either at the front or above your head you get a strong quality from the projector. I have to say that Sanyo projector is quiet, well quieter than most projectors. You still get the fan noise, but isn't to bad. Overall I would recommend this projector not so much on cost, but the features and useability....

Review of Sanyo PLC XW50

Windows XP

Advantages: Tried + tested
Disadvantages: Windows Vista soon?

...Lets face it - 90% of PC users use a Microsoft OS (operating system). The vast majority of those will be using XP. So you're not exactly going to be alone if you do decide to buy this. So, is it a good idea to go with the masses? Yes. Unless you are really techy and know software and hardware as if it were your job. Then you might plump for Linux or something similar. XP was released ages ago - about 2000 if memory serves correctly. As someone who started out on DOS, moved to windows 3.x, then Windows 98 and then XP (via Millenium for about 1 month ;) ) then I've had a history with OS's. XP is by far the most reliable - providing you do things properly then there is generally no problem. If you are completely just after something that you are not going to fiddle with then - no problems. If you are likely to uninstall...

Great Keystone - No ... not the cops.

Advantages: Bright - great keystone
Disadvantages: Bit pricey - speakers

...No hanging around with a flowery introduction - let's get straight to the point. Great functionality - easy to set-up - superb brightness. Expensive - poor sound. In a nutshell those are the positive and negative points of this projector. For my overall opinion, read through to the end. First of all allow me to explain the title for those that are not aware of keystone correction. 'Keystone' has to be the most bizarre term doing the rounds in technology today and if anybody can use their language skills and explain a little etymology of the word I would appreciate it as I have no idea where it comes from. A data projector can be positioned absolutely in front of the screen, or above the screen shining down or below the screen shining up. Usually they are at least 5 feet from the screen to obtain a reasonably sized image...

Review of Sanyo PLC SU50S

Windows is a XP above the rest

Advantages: internet Explorer 6, Windows Media Player 8, More Reliable, Compatible with nearly everything, it looks and feels great, Totally Customizible
Disadvantages: Costs around £75

...When i first bought my computer it had windows 98 Installed, this was okay for its time but i need to be with things nowadays. So after that i got Windows ME which i loved to pieces as it had everything such as Internet Explorer 5.5 and it just looked great. Then my friends told me all about how good windows 2000 was, I saw it at a friends house and i decided to get it. Little did i know about the compatability problems. When I installed 2000 everything went pear shape and it would hardly detect anything. Then windows Xp came along, this looked good and was also compatible with most things. I liked the look of Windows 2000 and the features of Windows ME so i decided to give Windows XP a go, and i was pleasantly suprised. Cost - - - - - - The cost of windows Xp is a bit pricey, i think its around £120 from a major company but if you...

Experience Windows XP!

Advantages: Many features, reliable, OEM version is priced well.
Disadvantages: Vista is out, DX10 not supported (not currently an issue)

...Windows XP is the most commonly used version of Microsofts popular Windows operating system or OS. It is feature packed and has low requirements so it will run on most PCs. The Look Microsoft has really jazzed Windows XP up compared to the previous dull grey looks of Windows 2000. As soon as you boot into the Windows interface you will be greeted with a friendly blue Welcome screen with the colourful new Windows logo. To begin you simply click your username, which will be displayed along with a little picture of your choice, you can pick from a car, frog to a cute dog or add your own picture if you prefer. Once you have entered your password and clicked the green enter button you will be taken to the new Windows Desktop. Here the new look is also in full effect as we get a new blue Taskbar with a bright green Start button, along...

Review of Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade with Service Pack 2

XP. The new generation

Advantages: Excellent multimedia functionality
Disadvantages: Incompatible drivers, software and hardware

...When Microsoft built it’s first operating system over 15 years ago, I sometimes wonder if, even in their wildest dreams, they thought it would become such a market force and the main o/s to be used on the majority of the world’s computers. Yet, today they are producing the next generation of operating system. One for the future that can interact with all modern media types and formats as well as combining the retro engineering needed to make programs of yesteryear work correctly. However, being a user of both of their current up to date systems, im not totally convinced that even they are on top of the diverse and sometimes incompatible world of mixed technologies. Im going to talk here about Windows XP. You have probably got this installed at home or at least heard about it if you have bought your computer within...

Review of Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2 Complete package

Windows Xp Home Edition

Advantages: Easy to use, Main operating system, Great help available
Disadvantages: Prone to viruses, still some bugs

...Windows XP, my one and only ever operating system! I have tried Mac and tried Vista on other computers, and i don't think they compare to XP! Vista is trying to be an Apple product, and i don't think you can enjoy a mac after years of Microsoft!!! I love all the hidden features of it and trying to figure stuff out with it! Admittedly its a very dated OS nowadays but millions of computers still use it! It's a powerful operating system and it's good at what it does! Fair enough there are bugs in it still that need to be eliminated, and it is prone to viruses unlike an Apple Macintosh but i think what XP needs more than anything is a second release, exactly how it is but with all the bugs eliminated! XP2 =] Because no amount of Special Packet updates can fix an operating system! It needs to be independently and professionally improved...

Leisuredays - Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance plc broker

Advantages: Very easy to apply, friendly and efficient staff
Disadvantages: None so far

...This company specialises in insurance for static caravans, lodges and chalets and caravan holiday insurance cover from Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance plc. The company provides extensive cover for all sorts of holiday homes and personal needs. I first heard of this company when the insurance on my caravan was due for renewal. When I first purchased my caravan, the site owners had recommended a company and we had taken out insurance with them the previous year for £213.96. This company had sent us a renewal quote of £254.16. At the same time I had a letter from the caravan park telling us of Leisuredays. Before I could do anything I was contacted by Leisuredays to tell me about the services they could offer and gave me a quote of £134.75. Obviously a lot cheaper! They then sent me a brochure outlining all that we had...
