Moss Cliffe from Ebay is selling his old collection of Computer magazines for only £19.99. Local pickup is compulsory though. Amongst the titles that made history, the now defunct printed version of BYTE, from 1981 to 1995, Call APPLE, Dr Dobbs, Kilobaud and Micro. Get yourself a piece of history, buy the lot before it gets binned.
Ebuyer has some Flash memory (MMC, CF and SD type) for ridiculously low prices and including free shipping. There's that High Speed Viking 64MB card for only £3.99+VAT or a 512MB card from the same manufacturer for only £25.52+VAT but only £20.25+VAT if you buy a SD one. A 1GB MMC card will cost you for £48.39+VAT - £42.54+VAT for a SD one. But the cheapest media by far is CF type at 18.82+VAT and 35.28+VAT for 512/1024MB respectively.
Desperately looking for a cheap sub notebook in the UK, then try the Aries Precision 1101. At under £600 VAT included, it is light in your pocket. It comes with a Pentium M 715 CPU, 256MB memory, a 12.1-inch WXGA TFT widescreen, Wireless LAN, a media card reader and a DVD combo. Plus it weighs only 1.8Kg. Ebay has the last word though. There's a better configured Dell Latitude D400 on sale with a 90 day return to base warranty from Notebook Exchange. The laptop comes with 512MB memory and a Centrino 1.6GHz as well as Windows XP Pro. All for the same price as the Precision 1101. Tough choice.
