Better than Windows Vista, 24 Jul 2009
I've been running Windows 7 at work for several months, and it's **definitely** better than Vista. To anyone used to XP or Vista, Windows 7 will come as rather a shock as the User Interface has changed again. For instance, the task bar and quick launch bar work quite differently - the biggest interface change since the transition from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. It took several days of head scratching to work out how to get it to work in a familiar way - the Operating System is supposed to facilitate what you do rather than get in the way.
This is actually the most persuasive argument against Windows 7 - if you have to learn something new then you may as well switch to Linux (save yourself some money) or Apple Macs (learn to love using a computer again).
My simple advice:
1. Buy Windows 7 if you have Vista and hate it.
2. Don't buy Windows 7 if you have Windows XP.
3. Buy a Mac (new or used) because Mac OS X is everything that Windows 7 should be.

Typical high quality Griffin product, 19 Sep 2008
I've been buying Griffin products since buying my first iPod a few years ago and I always seek them out because of their quality and style and so far I've not been disappointed.
This case protects the iPod Touch from damage but doesn't add too much bulk. It's a thin, high quality leather layer that's moulded over a polycarbonate shell. There is a back and a front which clip together and a film which sticks onto the screen (not adhesive but like the sort that sticks to windows).
All the ports and buttons are easily accessible, although if you want to play music through a dock then you'll have to remove the case first, but this isn't difficult and is common to all cases.
I recommend it.

Good bag for Sony DSC-H2, 18 Sep 2006
Very lightweight, robust and just big enough for Sony DSC-H2.
I'm still using it two years after I bought it and it shows no sign of wear.

Impressive piece of kit, 14 Aug 2003
I bought this router to go between my NTL cable modem and my internal network of two, three or four PCs and laptops. Having read the quick setup guide I was able to set up the box as a router, DHCP server, wireless access point and internet firewall, all within about 10 minutes. It's also very secure - you can see out (it's an increasingly dangerous place) but no-one can see in - unless you want them to. 128-bit wireless encryption and SSID hiding are easy to set up, as is port-forwarding in case you want to run a web or mailserver. It also supports a DMZ and 802.11g (which I haven't tested).
All in all, a great package at a great price.
It's on PC Pro magazine's A-list and it should be on yours too.
