I thought i’d take the time to express my personal music habits, in the form of the personal music systems which I divulged in since my childhood. In the past 15 years or so I have had four portable music systems. I think the small amount of different players is due to a few reasons. […]
ss Great Britain, Bristol - AHU Monitor

I was interested to see that in one of the regular emails which popped into my inbox from Business Week Online there was an interesting article about a new lamp which was being released later this year by Herman Miller.

So, Macworld Expo 2006 has been on for the whole of this week, and Apple have released information on their new Macbook Pro. But what’s so special about it.
A number of things which they are focusing on include the magnetic power cable, Intel Core Duo, improved speed and the vast increase in sheer ability from […]
When i switched my mobile contract near the beginning of last year i chose a neat little popular phone which i had to wait around a week for. The phone, Samsung D500.
