Easy Transfer Cable for Windows Vista

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Laptop and Notebook Accessories
from: Belkin Components


Usually I'm a big fan of Belkin products, so I blame Microsoft for the rubbish software (the hardware itself works without a fault). The only reason I moved to a Vista pc was because my XP's disc had been poorly partitioned and I'd completely run out of space on my logical C drive. Imagine my mood when this software insisted on installing to my XP's C drive AND wanted 500MB of spare disc space to install itself, thank you very much..

When I finally got it installed I couldn't work out for love nor money how to "select individual files or directories" - it seemed to want to transfer everything or nothing. Intuitive it is not.

At that point I gave up and bought myself a Lexar 4GB USB flash drive - also on sale via Amazon ... Read More:

TeckNet VS408 USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Cable for 2.5-Inch/ 3.5-Inch / 5.25-Inch Drive With Power Adapter

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Laptop and Notebook Accessories
from: TeckNet


Although there are many reviews praising this item, I would like to add my 5 stars to the rest for a simply terrific bit of a kit which does exactly what it says on the tin. Straight out of the box, plug in the power lead, attach to the PC (it's virtually fool-proof, no instructions needed) and it's immediately recognised as an external drive on WinXP. And despite the comments about postage cost, you can't really complain that the whole deal comes to less than a tenner. Finally, although it said that the delivery date would be over a week/10 days away, it arrived within 3 days from ordering - fantastic service from TeckNet.

Logitech V470 Wireless Bluetooth Laser Laptop Mouse (Grey)

As I wanted to have a mouse to use with my laptop that had no cable or additional USB stuff I opted for this bluetooth one. Arrived the next day thanks to Royal Mail & when switched on & followed windows Vista found new hardware windows that popped up it operated straight away. Did not even have to load the disc that came with the mouse as all worked fine. This unit also has an on/off switch & comes with its own wee travel bag too.

It is a cool laptop bag. Good quality bag for everyday use. I'm using the 17'' bag for a 15'' laptop so that I have enough room to carry easily other things, very practical.

from: Pluscom


One of these came 'free' with an Integral 8GB card I got recently. It works O.K. with small files, (under about 100MB), but has increasingly greater trouble as the size of the file being r goes up. Lots of "wrong parameter" error messages are thrown up. I note that Integral now seem to offer a different reader in their combo offers.

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Laptop and Notebook Accessories
from: Logitech

July 03, 2007
I bought the new edition of the G5 because i was looking to replace my dell optical mouse, which wasn't exactly a pleasure to use, the G5 on the other hand is bliss. Performance-wise the tracking and accuracy are both superb. The build quality feels solid and its not an ugly old girl either. The only problems i have witnessed so far is the middle mouse button, which takes some getting used to due to the sensitivity of the scroll right/left buttons, and the weight cartridge. I inserted my weight cartridge without any weights in just to see how it worked and unfortunately its now stuck! Luckily the standard weight doesn't feel too light to me at all. I should also mention the software, its very easy to install and run and uses very little system resources. ... Read More:
