Advantages: Good shape,display
Disadvantages: overpriced, mine was unstable

...I bought a Taxan monitor 2 years ago. It was a smart looking monitor in my opinion and also had a useful USB hub on the base. The monitor achieved the TCO99 standards for the display . Prior to buying the Taxan I had looked upon it as superior in the world of CRT displays alot of this idea may have come from the fact that it had a superior price. When I received the monitor I thought it was very curvy and had a big chunky power button but I was pleased overall. The dot pitch is an impressive 0.25 which is very impressive with a max resoloution of 1600*1200 which is average I suppose. A couple of months into using it the display started refreshing periodically. This started getting more frequent and in turn more irritating. The monitor then started making a boing noise when I pressed the chunky power button on every occasion... Read review

...SIMPLE ROUND UP FOR PEOPLE WITH SOME BASIC BADMINTON KNOWLEDGE POSTED AT THE BOTTOM AS A ADD-ON Yonex - Manufacturer Muscle Power 99 - Model Muscle Power (MP) - Range This is a badminton racket before we start looking at anything, and being honest its for advanced players, and used by quite a lot of international players, and was even the choice of men's singles champion Lin Dan of China for a long time. If you are new to badminton ill try to explain the technical jargon as best I can, but the first things you will need to know is that Yonex are the Microsoft of the badminton world. The muscle power range of rackets currently contains MP99 (muscle power), MP88, MP44, MP29LT, MP25P and MP21. The MP21 being the lowest, cheapest and thus most budget of the range. The MP99 on the other hand being the top of the range, most... Read review

...EA Sports has really done a good job of transcending typical sports-games presentation. With each and every passing game, it feels more and more like a televised sporting event. The same rule applies with Tiger Woods 99, EA's newest golf-game franchise. Yes, along with the vigor and exuberance the young Tiger has brought to the game of golf, so too has EA livened up the often drab trappings of virtual golf. But is it good enough to make a difference? As with most golf games, the usual array of options and modes are included: number of holes played, Mulligans, weather effects, the Skins Game, shoot-out, tournament, and tour play, etc. In Tiger Woods 99 you can also use or play against seven other professional golfers, including Lee Jacobsen and Tom Kite. For armchair golfers who need to get up to speed, there's also a practice mode. Let... Read review

Advantages: Easy to clean, loads of storage space and looks nice and modern
Disadvantages: nearly thought we wouldn't get it in the kitchen!

...We moved into our house last July and inherited the existing appliances. If you can all remember last July we were experiencing a tropical heatwave and when the lager you want to drink is colder out of the fridge and not int it you know it is time to get a new one! We had been to various shops - Comets/Currys etc and looked at fridge/freezers not reallys sure what we wanted but discovered that a lot of them had bigger fridges than freezers and we really needed a decent amount of freezer space. We had both looked at the ZX99 - liked it and when your bloke can say a positive remark about a domestic appliance half the battle is won! At that time we were not looking to buy as we were sure that what was in the house would do for a couple of months - it was not to be. Fast Forward 3 days into the heatwave, lager is warm, milk...

Advantages: a lot
Disadvantages: no

...Hi my name is Igor and here is my opinion about very popular game: NHL 99. I think that it is very good, nice, interesting and it really famous game. Hockey is very popular game especially in Europe. In the same ways in Russia maybe our team is not the best but I think that the team of Russia can play enough good. So it is very interesting when you watch on TV the final hockey game between two greats teams for example Sweden and Finland. It is very pleasant to watch it with the cup of beer. So EA sport create the game NHL 99. There are enough much notations, sharply improved graphics and animations so that forms of players become more good but ice arenas simply on the other level of good. And goalkeepers have more science of playing so it makes the game more interesting and more difficulty. In general possible only greet... Read review

...Karcher Karcher Karcher, where art thou Karcher! Every home should have one, if there is one thing you buy this year, make it a Karcher pressure washer!

...me that there are new members arriving all the time and a seemingly endless supply of new opinions. A new Ciao member born every minute…or so it seems …Ahhhhhhhhhh. 44. I like to see inside other people’s heads. 45. It’s a representative cross section of society, including the dickheads. 46. Not everyone writes about products, many write about social issues as well. 47. I like the creative work such as the poetry, and more interest/harrowing life experiences, on Ciao Café. 48. I don’t want to send everyone to sleep and I’ve got chores to do. 49. I think that 99 is a notional number, isn’t it, and I’m not sure we have to think of 99 each do we! 50. To be continued…...
