Lego Technic Combine Harvester

Advantages: Looks so cool! Fun to assemble
Disadvantages: Don't misplace any pieces!

...Me and my boyfriend received this for Christmas from my parents. We tried to make it together doing different parts, but since you have to follow the instructions very carefully and do one step after another this was not really working, so I just had to sit next to my boyfriend and watch while he did it! My mum got this from John Lewis for £49.99 but it is also available from the Lego website for the same price. I have also seen Lego Technic available in Toys'R'Us so it is not hard to get a hold of. Lego Technic looks quite different from the 'normal' Lego that we all know. The parts are smaller than the normal lego bricks. It is like a more 'grown up' lego. The models that you make with it are usually articulated and quite advanced. The model took us around 6 - 7 hours to assemble. Very good for keeping people entertained! I...

Review of Lego Technic: Combine Harvester

Gotta Love Technics!

Advantages: Build quality.
Disadvantages: Would be good to have a wider pitch range.

...This is yet another update to the industry standard direct drive Technics SL1200 turntable. To be honest, this is not massively different to the M3 edition, the most noticeable difference is the white LED light and the anti-skate control (which I never adjust anyway). As with all Technics, this plays records at either 33 or 45 rpm and you have the option to select the speed between -8% and +8%. This turntable also has the 'pitch reset' button which, if pressed, ignores the pitch selected on the fader and plays the record as if at 0%. A nice feature, although I hardly use it. Putting the cartridge and stylus together was a tricky job but these things always are. After doing a fair few over the years I can do it fairly quickly but newcomers should always read the instructions very carefully before attempting it. This is a great looking...

Review of Technics SL1200 MK5

Technics NOT technical...

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: None

...For those of you who don?t already know this let me share something with you. I?m a music lover; a slave to those little silver disks of loveliness that are CD?s, each and every one that gets into my house is well looked after and cared for. So it naturally follows that my hi-fi system has to be top-notch; I don?t just love my music, it HAS to sound the best it possibly can. Three years ago my old Technics separates system was starting to look a little jaded, the cassette deck had given up the ghost and it was time to relegate it to the bedroom. The hunt was on for a replacement but I was very specific when it came to this new purchase. As my old system had given such first rate and long standing performance I was keen and eager to buy another by the same manufacturer. One quick trip into John Lewis and the deed was indeed done...

Review of Technics SH-EH750

My wonderful Technics keyboard

Advantages: Brilliant sounds! Beautiful to play
Disadvantages: Takes a while to learn navigation of the functions

...little silver slot which holds an SD-Card which you can use to copy song arrangements onto. For those who don't know, SD-Card technology allows you to use tiny wafer-like cards (SD cards) to transfer data of all kinds between unrelated devices. In my case, I transfer data from the keyboard to my computer. Using the Audio Recorder software that came with the keyboard, I can also play songs live (loaded from the SD card which is sitting in its slot in the keyboard) and have them recorded by the PC at the same time as WAV (wave) files. I can then convert these to MP3s and therefore make them fully portable to all sorts of other devices. The keys on the Technics SX-KN2600 have beautiful sensitivity. If you're a piano player, you'll know exactly how important touch sensitivity is, and sometimes, simply because of this feature, the most...

Review of technics 1210's deejay tuntables

Advantages: proven track record, strong motor, good for club or bedroom deejay extremely robust
Disadvantages: I dont see many although some people may want to change the look of the turntable

...Recently the 1210's from technics have been under seige for the number one spot. they have been industry standard for over thirty years and every1 knows when you at the top you always have someone waiting for you to make your mistake. So Its unfortunate for the competition that technics dont really do mistakes and they are number one for a reason. They are not much to look at but the build quality and durability are out of this world, words cannot describe how smooth these turntables feel at your fingertips, i personaly have had 2 sets in the past the mark 3's and the mark 2's i own today ( my original decks are still going strong being used by a friend who bought them when i needed space ) They sell from anywhere between 500 to 600 pounds each brand new or you can pick up a second hand pair for below 600 pound. I personally picked...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 8 GB

Easy Data Storage

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Easily lost, no security option

...I was recently preparing a presentation at work for a client and their request was that we transferred it to a flash drive (or memory pen as my boss calls them!) Following a quick call to our IT department a Kingston DataTraveler USB flash drive soon arrived on my desk. For those who have never seen one, flash drives are a modern alternative to the ancient technology of floppy disks. You can easily transfers file to and from it and it is reusable unlike storing stuff on CD. The Kingston DataTraveler that I have is white in colour with a green tag on it which gives the name and the memory size. It's approximately 6.5cm in length and less than a centimetre in width so the downside is that it can be easily lost, although it does come with a hole at one end where you would be able to hook it to a key ring or neck tag. It has...

DataKits just steals your money!

Advantages: I do not think i can find any?
Disadvantages: You do not get what you pay for and it's impossible to contact them.

...Oh dear... If i just read all these great reviews before placing an order with DataKits, it would never have ordered from them. I have tradet over the internet for 8 years now and this is the first time i have been cheated. I ordered som iPhone gear last mounth from DataKits, and they haven't shown up. Their webshop just look so professionel (maybe i'm very naive?) Well...

We will check the status and follow up the delivery company straight away. Thanks DataKits.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------myemail@privat.dk I thought why don't they send me the Track and Trace number so that i could follow the package my self?

Disadvantages: Do not deliver goods until threatened, Poor contact, Ignores requests, Answer phone only by phon

...*** UPDATE: ITEM HAS FINALLY BEEN RECEIVED *** INTRO In January 2009, I had decided to buy a laptop so wanted a messenger-style bag to carry it around in. I had previously owned a ?Crumpler Boomer? messenger bag (got stolen along with my netbook), so wanted another Crumpler bag, as I knew they were strong, good quality and fairly light whilst still offering good protection for the laptop. They were expensive though, so I searched around on price comparison websites, which eventually lead me to Datakits.co.uk. I also searched for a voucher and managed to find a free delivery coupon at the top of my Google search. DATAKITS.CO.UK WEBSITE DataKits.co.uk is an online retailer of mobile phone and MP3 player accessories, electronics, computer accessories, etc. The website is laid out well, ?looks? pretty professional at first...

Technic Concealer with Tea Tree...Cheap Isn't Always Nasty!

Advantages: Cheap! last ages, does a decent job.
Disadvantages: heavy, not everyone will like the tea tree smell.

...Recently I went to stay with my Grandmother, and arranged a night out with some old school friends who I hadn't seen since before my youngest child was born, almost 5 years ago. Being the disorganised woman I am, I left packing until the last minute. Feeling proud that I had remembered my trusty GHD's, I was gutted to find I had completely forgotten to pack my make up bag until I got there. Aaaaargggh!!! Wanting to look my best, particularly as some of my old friends are successful, gorgeous and slim while I'm a frumpy single mum of 2, I had to dash out for emergency supplies. Not wanting to spend a lot, as I have more than enough make up back at home, I was pleased to find the Technic range in Body Care store. Almost all the make up in this range is 99p. A bit dubious as to how effective such cheap make-up can actually be but not...
