When I purchased my first ever PC back in the mid nineties it came with a measly 32MB of memory, at the time this was more than enough to run Windows 95 and anything else I cared to throw at it.

Computers & Technology > Peripherals & Accessories Product reviews: Samsung SyncMaster 226BW monitor: 1 of 2
Ever since LCD monitors hit the market a few years back I have wanted one, but the high price coupled with the quality of the display always held me back.

Hobbies & Games > Card Games Book reviews: Poker for Dummies, by Richard D. Harroch and Lou Krieger: 1 of 1
I was always under the seemingly misguided impression I was an ok poker player. Sure I've never played for money and I often left the games I played with far less plastic tokens than I started with but I saw the games I took part in more as a social event and the opportunity to hone my skill than a win at all costs exercise. ...

Where have all the decent Christmas Songs Gone? - I fear that an institution at the very fabric of life, something that everyone will have grown up with, but to some extent taken for granted, is in danger of extinction. Some times you do not even notice it is there, but losing it would be a fate unworthy of contemplation. I a... More..
Style & Beauty > Body Care Best body wash products for men: 4 of 7
I've tried many a body wash in my time, smelling nice and having good personal hygene is essential nowadays - how many of us have got into a lift to be greeted by the sour, acrid stench of body odour? Although it is awkward telling someone else they smell "a little ripe" it is far easier to make sure we ourselves emit a satis... More..
