Stylish, great protection. Classic looks

This slip case is awesome. It has a very stylish appearance with a soft felt like interior. It is understated and compliments my Vaio very well.
On a recent flight, the airhostess dropped my case as she retrieved it from the overhead storage and it fell 6 feet to the ground. I was about to explode with rage but the slip case did the trick and there was no damage to my rather expensive and light Vaio SZ61. I recommend this case to all business travellers. There is even enough room for some paperwork in the case. Highly recommended real VAIO accessory.

Good Value Disk if You Want a Box

Most people buy disks on a spindle and boxes separately. By my reckoning buying these is a cheaper option if you want a box most of the time. It is not entirely clear from the description if this is the box or the disk with the box, it does contain the disk, hence why I have written this review. The other thing worth noting, at least for my Sony HDD/DVD recorder, is that the -R disk supports fast dubbing mode, which records an hour's worth of television in about 3 minutes. The mode wasn't available when I tried +R and it took an hour. The white label takes pens better than some other disks which is also a plus.
Last piece of advice is to watch out for postage fees when ordering. Suddenly the best deals don't look so attractive.
In summary: it's a recordable disk that comes in the same sort of DVD box that a film comes in, which is nothing to get too excited about.

Sonos CR100 + Sonos Controller + ZP80

I'm very pleased with Sonos. My current system configuration is as follows:
1) My Arcam amp is connected to sonos ZP80 which is wired to zoom router (Ethernet cable)
2) Buffalo link station live 500 GB connected to Sonos ZP80 via Ethernet cable

My previous configuration (not supported by Sonos) before I bought the Link Station live was as follows:
1) ZP80 connected to amplifier and to zoom ADSL x6 router
2) Buffalo external HDD streams music wirelessly from laptop via zoom router to ZP80. This config work 99% (probably due to router issues tather than sonos) of the time but you need to have the laptop on.

I bought my Sonos in the States as it's cheaper out there.

Belkin is the way to go when it comes to SmartMedia Readers!

SmartMedia technology has become quite a popular form of information storage especially when Digital Camera owners are concerned. However, once you have taken pictures with your digital camera, how exactly do you transfer those images to your PC? Well, there are two main methods. Either by direct USB cable straight from the digital camera itself to your PC or by a SmartMedia reader. So why purchase a SmartMedia reader when you can just use your digital camera? What exactly gives SmartMedia readers the upper hand? First of all, SmartMedia readers uses your PC's power and is non-reliant on your digital camera's power source. Secondly, SmartMedia readers can be regarded as a removeable disk drive allowing easier and familiar file transactions between the SmartMedia card and your PC.

The Belkin SmartMedia Reader is just one of those products that provides the upper hand above direct digital camera file transfer via USB cable. When I received the Belkin SmartMedia Reader, it literally took me 10 minutes to set the whole thing up. No more worrying about draining my digital camera's power source! With the simple 'drag and drop' windows functions, I was able to copy files directly from my SmartMedia card directly to my PC with ease and literally within seconds as though I was copying files from my floppy disk drive!

The sleek and clean design of the Belkin SmartMedia Reader certainly has given my desk more of a technological reputation at first glance which is where a lot of the other SmartMedia readers fail. The slot for the SmartMedia card is placed in a logical and convenient area allowing the user to remove or insert the SmartMedia card without fear of damaging either product. From a designer's point of view, it is sleek and logical. From a technological point of view, I am so far to be let down by its fast-paced and setup performance. I am very pleased with the product and will be keeping an eye on future developments by Belkin.
