Devolo dLAN 200 AVeasy (Homeplug AV) Starter Kit, up to 200 Mbp/s, HD video streaming capable - Easy Hi-Security Button

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Security Products
from: Devolo

March 12, 2008
The dLAN 200 was very easy to install. I connected one to my router and the other one to my PC upstairs. The documentation says that they should be plugged directly into the mains socket however I plugged one into a 6 way extension and it works fine. Both of these were not on the same ring main (although they are connected at the distribution board) but this did not cause any problem.

Each plug has it's own ID no. and MAC address. The software on the supplied CD was easy to use - it automatically detected the one that my PC was plugged into. I just had to enter the ID no. of the one my router was plugged into and everything was connected.

I searched around on the internet and on ebay and found Amazon to be the cheapest ... Read More:

Swordfish 1000XC Cross-cut Shredder Black / Silver

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Security Products
from: Swordfish


It is a good little shredder but it doesn't come close to 10 pages at a time. Granted the paper we are shredding is 100g/sm, but 3 is the maximum. It will also stop working after 12 minutes if used constantly (thermal cutout). There is no way I would feed this CD's unless I'd already ordered its replacement!

Yoggie GateKeeper Pico - Includes 1 Year Software Suite Updates

from: YOGGIE

May 12, 2008
Beware of the following problem. I use Windows Vista ( the same problem could exist with other versions ) and Active Sync to syncronise my tasks, appoitments, calender and contacts with my mobile PDA/Telephone and my computer. Once I installed the Yoggie, Active Sync stopped working ! I contacted their support team and they said that they were aware of the problem and looking into it, this was three weeks ago and they still havent fixed the bug.

No mention of this on their web site !

took about 1 minute to have it fully connected. much better than the Netgear equivalent, which never held a connection for more than 15 minutes. has been permanently connected for over a week since first installed. nice heavy stand which will not move around on your desk, or you can plug it straight into the usb socket if preferred. RECOMMENDED

Please be advised that the current version of Yoggie Pico software is uncompatible with XP service pack 3.
They are working on a driver that will work with service pack 3 but until that is available it will not work.

Rexel Style Confetti Cut Shredder, 5 Sheets, 7.5L Bin

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Security Products
from: Rexel

January 01, 2008
PROS: relatively small size, easy to fit under a desk till needed; good looking design; simple to operate; doesn't require shredder oil; makes a good job of chopping up sheets of paper (I haven't tried a credit card yet).

CONS: emptying the waste bin can be a bit messy; the bin fills up quite quickly; I found it best to feed paper in 1 sheet at a time to avoid over-straining the motor; fairly slow, so best suited to occasional use.

OVERALL: a good machine for the price, but best suited to light use only.

Microsoft Fingerprint Reader - Fingerprint reader - USB

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Security Products
from: Microsoft


Amazingly this does not work with Windows Live Messenger. There used to be a work-around but Microsoft blocked this by updating WLM a few months ago. Additionally, support for this product is minimal. It took me umpteen phone calls to get through to anybody who could help regarding the WLM issue, and even recently I was told by somebody on their premium rate support line that this was a discontinued product and was no longer supported.

Kensington Slim Microsaver Cable

The slim microsaver cable is exactly the right thing to have if you carry your laptop around and have to leave it unattended for a moment. Not to heavy, right length and easy going lock with rubber top to prevent damage of your equipment.
Highly recommended.
