iPhone 3GS review

I finally switched to the iPhone when the new model, the 3GS, was released on the 19 June. My main requirement was not the phone but the data capabilities. I also wanted it to replace my existing iPod Classic.

R.I.P. Personal Computer World 1978 – 2009

I was sad to learn of the demise of one of the UK’s longest running computer magazines.

I started reading it not long after it’s launch, and before I owned my first computer. I learnt a lot from it and it helped me over the years as a bought my various computers.

Leonardslee Gardens

Caravans

200909May_0071

I think there is some prejudice and preconceptions regarding caravans, but I usually have at least one holiday in one each year and the standard is nothing like as basic as it used to be.
