Astonishing service
28 Jun 2004: A massive word of praise for Photobox, the online print processing service. I uploaded a couple of photos to them on Friday teatime, one to be made into a big enlargement, and incredibly the prints arrived in the post on Saturday morning. Quality was superb, prices reasonable. Why would anyone want to buy inkjet printers and expensive photographic paper to print their own photos when you can get it done so quickly, and professionally, at lower cost? Insanity, if you ask me, but great marketing by the computer industry, convincing people that printing out your own photos is a good idea. Er, I don’t think so.Launch of CAD-Reviews.com
25 Jun 2004: CAD-Reviews.com is a new venture which my long-term colleague Colin Mathews and I will be rolling out over the next few weeks. Please feel free to take a look, and let us know what you think! It’s basically a resource of all the CAD software reviews (and some hardware too) which Colin has done over the past few years.Top attractions for Toddlers at Disneyland Paris

24 Jun 2004: The iTunes Music Store is good but it’s a worldwide market and whether AllOfMP3.com is legal or not outside Russia, it’s certainly offering Russian-style prices to the masses. Buy now before Bush bombs Russia on the orders of the US record industry.These ones got people talking
