Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: Uses batteries fast

...on the left hand side of the camera, which are protected by a small rubber flap. You can either connect using an RS232 serial cable, (which connects to your computer via a com port) or using a USB cable, (which connects to your computer via a USB port.) When the camera is connected by USB, it is powered by the USB port. Therefore, you do not require an external power source. However, when you connect your camera by RS232, you have to supply power to the camera by either the batteries or a low voltage adaptor. The adaptor does not come with the camera, but it is available from the manufacturers on request at a given charge. However, I find that batteries do the job, so I have not purchased the adaptor. The Twain Driver comes on a standard floppy disk, which can be installed on a double click of the mouse. This tells you computer where... Read review

Advantages: Good layout, excellent results from both voice and fax, good build quality,interface with PC,loads of facillties.
Disadvantages: You will CERTAINLY need the instruction manual, idiosyncratic menu system,film system can be expensive to run

...Well, I never ever thought I would ever buy a Fax Machine-until I spotted this Pansonic KX-FM330E in my local Cash Converters for the princely sum of £20. TWENTY POUNDS?!!! I could spend more than that in a pub on a Monday night! Close inspection revealed little use but the smell of tobacco smoke-the previous owner had obviously liked cigarettes. But it came with full instuctions,leads (except the RS232-C PC lead-but you can't have everything!)and a spare film cartridge. The previous owner had completly gone PC so this specimen had become surplus to requirements. When I got it home, I plugged it in and just about managed to get the lead into telephone socket wall. After a good study of the instuctions, I had managed to set the voicemail and the ringer volume. Furthur study revealed loads more facillites such as recall of received... Read review

Advantages: reasonable price
Disadvantages: no serial RS232 port, software limitations

...I bought a new Tosh 3000-X4 in february this year based on cost and the fact that I have had some good Toshiba machines in the past. The current machine I feel disappointed with now that I have had it for a few months. My first disappointment was the absence of a RS232 port and infra red ports. I used these applications quite a lot. I was probably blinded by the DVD player functions at the time of purchase as it was impossible to get one under a grand at that time. The DVD is great by the way! It came loaded with WInXP home edition. Fine if you like that sort of thing, but being an avid WIN 95 OSR 2 and WIN98 user I find it very disconcerting that I cannot run these versions on this machine effectively. I aint clever enough to write my own drivers for display etc. for the earlier Win versions, and Toshiba will NOT support... Read review

Advantages: Cheap consumables, Cheap laser printer
Disadvantages: Not as fast as stated

...I had a Brother HL-1240 printer for a number of years and it gave great service but a couple of months ago it finally died. A sad day but something bad was bound to happen soon. So on to the replacement. I needed a Laser Mono Printer, simple, and was looking for one which printed at a decent speed and more importantly had cheap consumables. I searched around looking at the HP Laserjet 1012, Lexmark E232, Epson EPL 6200 and finally the Brother HL-5130. A quick look at the printers stats will tell you that there is little to choose between the four printers. HP Laserjet 1012 Price: £137.63 exc VAT Resolution: 600dpi x 600dpi PPM: 14 Memory: 8MB Lexmark E232 Price: £110.14 exc.

Advantages: Quite a lot to read
Disadvantages: Too much advertising and it seems to have shrunk this month!

...), and with this you also got a free gift. The gift for the April issue was an Estee Lauder nail varnish and matching gloss worth £22, so with this added incentive I subscribed to Glamour for the next year. Today my first delivered issue arrived - alone. There was no sight of the free gift - whether they will send it later is anybody's guess. I have emailed them and inquired and shall wait and see what they have to say...(I shall indeed, as always, update this opinion once I know what's happening!) But anyway, aside from the gift that I was looking forward to receiving - I was also looking forward to reading this month's issue. Opening it I realised that something was slightly different...it felt a bit lighter! And yes, it was! One month later and the Glamour magazine has shrunk to 232 pages!!! Now that's not a small difference in my eyes. What made... Read review
