Truast TB-2100 tablet, easy and simple

Advantages: great pen function for easy photo editing
Disadvantages: poor mouse, and freezes PC

...-programming the function buttons at the top of the tablet, to suit your own personal needs. I set them to operate certain functions within my photo editing program, making quicker and easy access to them. With the pen I've been able to far more accurately touch up photos and pictures stored on my pc, for printing. As in the past my mouse hasn't offered the flexiblity that the pen gives tracking your moves across the mat. There is a later software download from the Trust website, which i installed a few days after getting the product. I have been having problems with the Tablet, which causes the mouse to stop functioning completely, and locking out even the wired mouse installed too. Leaving the only option to shutdown the PC, and restart using just the keyboard shortcuts. I emailled Trust support, after a few days, and proving the Tablet was causing...

Review of Trust Design and Work Tablet 200 - mouse, digitizer

Budget tablet - just the job.

Advantages: Cheap, easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Mouse is awful - mine is lost and I am not looking for it!

...I originally bought this work tablet (although mine again is the TB2100) for photo editing. It was only £24 from Asda so I thought why not. I have read some subsequent reviews from other users who complain that it is not sensitive enough etc. but I think they must be using it for more 'professional' applications. You can buy much more expensive versions on this type of product, although I don't think you need to for home use.. Photo editing is made much simpler and quicker with this device, although I only ever use the Pen bit as the accompanying mouse is really horrible to use. You can put a normal sized photo under the clear plastic sleeve on the top of the tablet and it works a treat with any standard editing tools. Basically, you hover the pen over the tablet and watch the cursor move over the screen until you touch the pen...

Review of Trust Design and Work Tablet 200 - mouse, digitizer

Perfect for first time users...

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to use, Fun and opens a new world on your computer
Disadvantages: No proper special features.

...When I decided I wanted a graphic tablet I thought long and hard about it. I compared all different makes, done my research and saved up some money. I was all set to buy a wacom one but then we popped in to Argos one day and they had this cheap Trust tablet in stock. In a moment of madness I purchased it. And boy am I glad I did. It was extremely easy to install on my Vista Premium laptop. And as soon as I started to use it I was hooked. Paint suddenly became my best friend and within minutes I was drawing little cartoons. I have had so much fun with it on photoshop aswell and wonder how I done little art bits without it. The fun increases when you discover great freeware like art weaver and art rage. There are some great little features on this tablet like a sheet of plastic on the top that lifts off so you can do tracing. It...

...I have recently aquired a Trust wireless design and work tablet,courtesy of my Hubby on my birthday (thankyou,hubby of mine!). I had fancied on of these for some time as I thought it would be handy for my work and to have a bit of fun with. ------------------------------- **What is it and what does it do?

Trust 1200 Wireless Graphic Tablet. IT'S GREAT

Advantages: Big working area, easy to use, compatible with the major graphics packages. It's also great for playing and developing on.
Disadvantages: It's physically big, needs careful planning, and is a specialised device not suitable for everyone

...This is the story of how an unhappy artist was relighted using a Trust model 1200 (A4) Wireless Graphic Tablet. Also 3 examples of artwork using it done by the author. Please see "ARTWORK AND LINKS" below. I often thought about using a Graphic Tablet when doing website images and when messing about in my spare time mainly using 'Photoshop' and 'Paint Shop Pro' (hmmmm I hear you say). Using a mouse everyone will agree is not a natural process when drawing which is what I had to do if I wanted to put it straight into the PC as a digital image or mess with an existing one. I had used a Tablet before during my not-so younger AutoCad days and liked them then. AVAILABILITY: With this in mind I trotted off to the local PC haunts in my locale, first visiting Dixons, "hmm can I get someone for you"? Then PC World, "Oh yes they are...

Review of Trust Wireless keyboard

Ariel Tablets

Advantages: Clean fresh smell, good value
Disadvantages: Awkward box, price as part of the grocery shop in a supermarket.

...are ?Proctor and Gamble Professional?. The packaging is quite attractive in Ariel?s usual green colours, and gives you a clean fresh feeling with pictures of crisp bubbles surrounding an image of 2 tablets. The box in the picture is of the old pack design and has been changed since. I like the ?click-close? lid on Tesco?s washing tablets packaging, and the one downfall for these Ariel tablets is that the lid stays open once the seal has been broken. This gets on my nerves as the cupboard under this sink is only small and you have to remove the box if you want to get at anything under there! Each pair of tablets is wrapped in foil, and the foil tears easily to tip the tablets into the washing machine drawer whilst minimising contact with the skin. I am almost always able to place the tablets in the drawer without touching the tablets...

Review of Ariel Washing Tablets

Rennie Spearmint Tablets. Yummy and effective.

Advantages: Good taste, works, cheap.
Disadvantages: chalky,crumbly.

...Rennie tablets The Rennie brand is seemingly one of the most recognisible in it's category. They are taken for indigestion and heartburn but are also supposed to relieve wind problems and problems with digestion in pregnancy. This particular product is the spearmint flavour which is part of a whole spectrum of Rennie products including 'Rennie Ice' and 'Rennie fruit'. Indigestion and Heartburn..what is this? As I didn't know really what indigestion was I thought I'd tell you what I learnt about it! Incase anyone reading this is unsure of whether they need to consider this product or not. It is casued by a build up of too much acid in your stomach and means that generally a pain is felt in the stomach or just behind your rib cage. Some people say it is caused by eating too fast or spicy foods which I think is true but to be honest...

Review of Rennie Spearmint Tablets

Non-Bio Tablets!

Advantages: Only needed to use one for an almost full load (not soiled), great scent, good price.
Disadvantages: A little expensive when not on offer so stock up when they are!

...As I am at my sisters at the moment when I need to wash my clothes I just use whatever she has brought on her last shopping trip. This week it was Persil Non Bio Tablets. The tablets come in a cardboard box with a perforated tab which you can pull to open and then inside the box the tablets are wrapped in twos. I used one tablet for my wash as it was not particularly dirty or soiled and I put the tablet inside the wash bag (I'm not sure if this was provided with the tablets as I found it on top of the washing machine). I then pulled the drawstring and threw it in to the drum along with my clothes. I washed my clothes on a 40 degree wash which lasted around 90 minutes and when I took my clothes out they had a lovely smell to them which lasted for most of the day when wearing my favourite top. Everything looked clean and a gravy stain...

Review of Persil Washing Tablets

Iron Tablets

Advantages: Boing boing (off the walls)
Disadvantages: Need...to...breathe....*GASP*

...those who smoke may notice the signs and of course women who suffer heavy periods lose a lot of iron every month. It is extremely important that you speak to your doctor before you think about taking an iron supplement as sometimes it could be the first signs of something far worse. Symptoms of a deficiency are similar to those diagnosed with stomach ulcers. So speaking to your doctor first and determining the difference could potentially be life saving (In the worst case). Never just assume. --The tablet itself/what it contains-- The tablet with just iron in weighs at 15mg which is 7% over the RDA. Now I am a tablet fiend. Most of my life I have taken horse pills as medication but even my eyes popped out when I saw the size of this tablet! It is quite difficult to describe the size. It is an oval shape and measures 2cm across...

Review of Holland & Barratt Iron Tablets

Laundry Tablets For Tough Jobs!

Advantages: Works beautifully needing no pre-treatments
Disadvantages: Leaves a residue on the door seal at low temperatures.

...picks up. I have joined the locals in this quest to dry outside when I visit, and some of my undies have been rescued from the fields with newly acquired grass stains, so the product I am reviewing here has been tested in both areas, which is good because Scotland has soft water and Essex has hard water so it is interesting to compare and contrast the results. Persil Gel tablets are biological, and you can find them in the laundry aisles of many supermarkets in an apple green box. In the right hand corner are the words "Just Washed Feeling " which on their website means that they are treated with Active Microcapsules - a new technology, which means that they have a freshness which lasts all day after washing. I bought mine in Tesco and they were on offer at £4 for 48 tablets which does 24 washes, making each wash work out to be just under...
