Surround yourself with Comfort
Review of Comfort's Refresh by
nomad
Advantages: lovely clean smell for fabrics
Disadvantages: some people may not want to pay so much for it
...I don't know how they've done it, but this spray really does make your stale clothes (or household fabrics) smell as if they've just been carefully cleaned and conditioned.
wow.
I really love this product, and it comes in handy on a regular basis. If you've been around smokers, this REFRESH spray will almost lift the smell off your clothing, and you'll smell all fresh again. Clothes all stale after being stored in your wardrobe for a while? Here's the solution.
it works well on furniture and smelly pets too.
You can buy the spray in 2 sizes: 300ml or 150ml (which is a nice size for in your bag or the car), although it works out cheaper to get the larger size. the price isn't TOO bad, and the main thing is - it lasts a while, so you get value for money.
A lovely comforting smell to surround yourself with....

Good second hand buy
Review of Apple Power Mac G3 - PPC G3 266 MHz by
domcaz
Advantages: Cheap, Expandable, Stylish
Disadvantages: No firewire port, as time goes on clock speed may be too slow
...I was recently asked to set up a small business with 3 new macs on a small network on a mediocre budget. And to cut the long "what to buy debate" story short, we plumped with 2 second hand G3's and an imac. If we had bought brand new computers they would all have had to be the most basic imacs and this wasn't really suitable (as 17" screens were needed). The blue and white G3 is, in my opinion a great 2nd hand buy. They are being sold off in the bucket load at the moment by people upgrading to G4 and are still very stylish and fairly fast computers with the added advantage of being very upgradable and therefore ther obsolete half-life should extend longer than imacs sold with similar specs at the same time (and will last a LOT longer than a PC bought at the same time). G3's have built-in 10/100 ethernet which makes simple networks a joy...

Canon G3 owner review
Review of Canon PowerShot G3 by
dno36
Advantages: Excellent features, great colors, excellent flash, sweet lens.
Disadvantages: No stabilazation
...Having owned a G1 previously, the step to the G3 was not a "risk" for me.
I was drawn to the upgrade by the 4x zoom, the 4mp, the digic processor among other minor issues.
I have been generally pleased, however I have had corrupt file issues using a Crucial 4 GB card and a 2 GB Sandisk card. I have recently purchased a Kingston 4GB 45x to see if the higher speed helps it.
My impression vs. the G1 is that the camera is quicker to take pictures end to end. Not super-fast, but quicker. The flash on the G3 is excellent and usable for illumination or fill, in any situation without washout.
The dedicated battery is outstanding!!! I can shoot 2x as many pics on a battery at a wedding as my brother can with his D70, and my pics look better overall.
The swivel LCD is wonderful. If it were 2.5" & 200k res, it would be perfect.
The f2.0 lens...

This mini chopper is a little gem
Review of Kenwood CH 180 by
sadoldbag
Advantages: good for small quantities, small to store, cheap
Disadvantages: none so far
...This is a mini chopper which is really useful if you just want to make a small quantity of something like pesto or houmous, or just chop an onion.
It is inexpensive (I paid £19.99 for mine) and doesn't take up too much space in the kitchen. Its maximum capacity is 350ml or 150g.
It has two speeds, though I must admit I don't use the lower speed much. It's not that powerful - it has a 300w motor, but it chops things like carrots really evenly, without a slush at the bottom.
It has a nice design with a cute curvy bit where the motor is and the bowl bit is one of those rounded ones. It is a bit of a faff getting the bowl back in after you've taken it out, which is a bit annoying. The blade is stainless steel and you can put the bowl in the dishwasher.
I've got a one year old and when he was weaning it was brilliantly useful...

Chop Chop
Review of Kenwood CH180 by
Chardon
Advantages: Compact and efficient
Disadvantages: No pulse function
...Here is a present which I thought was boring when I first received it a while back!! But it's so useful it never leaves my worktop now.
- The bowl can contain 350ml/150g, therefore offering the possibility to chop/mix small- to medium-sized quantitites.
- It's fairly easy to use, with a one touch control, even if fitting and removing the bowl can be a bit fiddly.
- It's very safe to operate: there is no access to the blade during operation and the appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber feet.
- The two-speed feature comes handy depending on what you're chopping/mixing.
- It's very easy to clean: the bowl goes in the dishwasher, the motor can just be wiped clean.
- It's so compact, it can easily be stored away in any kitchen cupboard.
I use it mainly for chopping onions (say goodbye to tears!) and preparing mashed/puréed food for my...

X206 Entry level/Home server
Review of IBM eServer xSeries 206 8482 - C 2.4 GHz by
goosey2
Advantages: Very low cost
Disadvantages: No potential
...of the coin, if you are just starting up a new business, need somewhere to store your newly created spreadsheets and powerpoint documents and cost is an issue, where better than £500 worth of IBM server in the corner of your garage? It's always going to beat the £300 super clone server your mate can build you because he'll probably be on holiday in Benidorm when it all falls over just before tomorrows big meeting. IBM on the other hand won't be.
Sorry if your new business is building super clone servers for new businesses but that's just how I see it. Oh and for an extra £150 take a look at the HP ML150G2 as it has a Xeon processor or if you can stretch to an extra £1000 buy a mirrored IBM X226 (See my X226 review)...

What else do u need?
Review of Oil of Olay Complete Care Moisturising Fluid by
Teddytheboi
Advantages: Inexpensive, easily absored, UV protection
Disadvantages: None
...A fantastic facial moisturiser that made by Olay, as most of their products are.
This comes in a bottle of 100ml or 150ml, it is an opaque white colour, and smells like baby powder.
It contians Vitamin E, which is a konwn antioxidant, and nourishing Olay moisture that absorbs quickly into skin and lasts all day to help your skin stay soft. It provides sun protection (SPF15), which is another important factor to keep u look young.
It costs about 4 pounds for 100ml, depends on where u get it.. but that would last for absolutely ages. As I have mine for more than 2 months, and it's only half way through.
My skin does feel smoother after about 2 weeks, and I don't have dry patches on part of my skin anymore, meanwhile it doesn't feel greay to put on my T zone. Since, I have been using this product, I have had no break out, not sun...

G3 - affordable power or misfit?
Review of Apple Power Mac G3 - PPC G3 266 MHz by
fiorbitleeds
Advantages: faster than predecessors (Performa 6400 etc)
Disadvantages: not enough improvement and now superceded by iMac & G4
...Having purchased my G3 new in Xmas '98, I was keen to get the speed and power I'd longed for. I've always had Macs (12 years plus) and worked with them, but never been able to afford anything big or fast. This new machine promised to be a SIGNIFICANT increase in processing speed and sheer "MEAT" - however it has consistently failed to live up to it's expectations.
Firstly; it has ALWAYS been "buggy" - whatever O/S I install (gone from 8.0 thru' to 9.0.4) and seems prone to minor addressing errors (lost defaults, minor directory damage, un-accessible data etc)
Secondly: I don't appear to have gained much ACTUAL speed, despite going from 166Mhz processor to 275Mhz
Also: it is VERY difficult to keep running "on top form" - I am a keen "amateur mechanic" and like my machines to be tuned to maximum performance, but it has always been hard...
