...…Big Sis, Middle Sis and Li'l Sis. All lived together in a terraced house. Is this a fairy tale you may well ask? Well it could have been if only they had learnt to live together. Firstly I'll tell you a little bit about all of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big Sis…Being the first born, she was in a position of power. She was the eldest, the cleverest, the most outgoing. The adults treated her as an almost equal. She was able to call Mam and Dad by the names of Mother and Father. An honour reserved solely for the eldest child (or so she had us believe). She was allowed privileges that we weren't. She could stay out later, wear more fashionable clothes, and have boyfriends. If she had a new hobby she got everything she needed. Let me explain, first it was squash, Dad got her into the local squash club and bought her all... Read review

Advantages: It works...
Disadvantages: but not very well

...I bought this motherboard in the hope that is provided a 100Mhz FSB. I opened it up, and then read the manual to find that the 93, and 100Mhz clock factors have a little white piece of paper over it saying that it cannot use these speeds as it is not very stable. This motherbaord does like to crash now and then, and it the SiS chipset is not very good either. Don't bother with this motherboard, there are plenty around that are much better. The price was affordable though. The fastest processor supported by this motherboard is 400MHz, and is rather outdated now.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap.
Disadvantages: That's about it, it's nasty and poor motherboard layout.

...I bought this board purely on cost, £40 at a computer market when I putting my first machine together. The board features On-board VGA and Sound, in the form Of SiS 5595 and CMI 8330. The board was reasonably easy to fit, however, this is AT board and I fitted this in a ATX Midi Tower Case. Problems that I have is that I operate 2 hard drives, 2 CD-ROM drives and two floptical drives, a slightly overclocked K6-2 333Mhz at 337Mhz and I can't operate the proper 3.5x95Mhz on the board as the max bus speed is only 75Mhz. The problem is that the poor case layout makes my case worse than Spaghetti junction.... Read review

Advantages: very professional
Disadvantages: arguments over scheduling get nobody very far

...Oscar Wilde said that only shallow people do not judge by appearances and so I shall say that I love the BBC's colour scheme. It beats the horrid primary colours of ITV's bulletins by miles. The presenters for the BBC are also very professional and very good, they look like they actually know a lot about most things they cover as opposed to their commercial television rivals who seem to only be there to look good and read through their autocue. The coverage itself is of a very high quality and of a good balance. I am glad to see they are addressing the concerns of not covering business stories in enough detail by announcing a new senior business editor. That's good stuff and well needed. All the new sis backed up by the excellent news.bbc.co.uk website too.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use once all settings were adjusted
Disadvantages: Instruction booklet... need I say more?

...My sis received this camera for her birthday, and I have to say that I have never seen such poor quality instructions along with the camera. OK, so it's a polaroid and it's a simple point-and-click, but even so some helpful hints would have been useful! Fortunately the camera is working fine, no thanks to the instruction book though! I'd argue that the instructions were aimed at people who've used Polaroid before, and it may be helpful to buy from a specialist camera shop who can advise you on the settings and things for a decent picture. Apart from that, once finally working, the pics were pretty good quality, so I can't complain about the results! Just a little more thought from Polaroid on their target audience for instructions next time... please!!... Read review

...Do you really think I'm going to sit here and write about everything that begins with P? Ok.... where's the old jigsaw lid. Can't do an op without that. P is for Purple and not what you filthy beasts were thinking........ Passageway!! I have set a challenge purely for fun you understand, to get 50 reads before Friday. Well, George W. can set deadlines can't he? I need to set a time so I'll draw in from my empty cornflakes packet....... 19:57 What a strange beast that is ... maybe it's a year to someone's warped mind, or just a time on the clock?? That time is 'deadline time', for reaching 50 reads by Friday on my op.... 'I PAINTED MY FRONT DOOR PINK AND I HATE IT' or was it the back door, wait while I ring my sister. Yes, it was the front door. So you see as I write it's reached 26 reads some....ermmmm, hello sis...24 short... Read review

Also at that time there wasn't any other real options IVF was something we hadn't really heard off. MY BABIES ----------------- Life can be really cruel sometimesi was never the maternal one, but yep i got pregnant at 24 i remember being nervous telling sis but she was brilliant. My eldest boy was born well and healthy and very long!!!Then 2 and half years later i had my youngest son who, thank god was also healthy. Sis was
