Olympus OM-D E-M5 mark 2

I've never been able to resist a good body.

 

Especially when the controls feel nice and are easy to access.

Yes, I'm talking cameras once again!

The Orion Laptop: another computer from Entroware

My laptop has had a hard life and needed to be replaced.

 

After reviewing the market for Linux laptops, I came back to Entroware.

So here is a short post on my new Orion laptop.

Nokia 3310: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Now that I've been using my new Nokia 3310 for a few weeks, I have a better idea of its strengths and weaknesses.

Its a good basic phone, but it has a few bad & ugly aspects to its design.

So here is a more detailed review than the one posted at the beginning of September.

The new Nokia 3310: just another stupid phone

I've read a lot of inaccurate customer reviews of the new Nokia 3310 recently, which probably goes to show that most people don't read manuals anymore.

Well I do, and I've just received my new Nokia 3310 from Carphone Warehouse.

So here is a more accurate than average review.

The Entroware Triton: my new box

My old ASUS x401A  laptop has served me well for the last 4+ years but all good things must come to an end.

The screen flicker/blanking just got too annoying, so I had to dust off my wallet and part with some cash.

So how does my shiny new Triton compare with the old ASUS?

My Smart-arse Sony TV

Just before Christmas I finally plucked up the courage to get rid of the huge TV in our living room.

This must have been one of the last TVs with a proper 4:3 Cathode Ray Tube (crt) that Currys sold. It was enormous.

The neck of the tube stuck out the back so far that we had to sit in the drive-way and watch the TV through the window. It was either that or wedge ourselves into the 10inch gap between the TV screen and the wall. But with our noses pressed up against the screen, it was only possible to take in about 20% of the action.

I hate throwing away working machines, but no one was interested in this fully functional monster. So I loaded it into the back of a truck and took it to the local tip.
