Would you point to the motherboard? Perhaps you would say that the processor is the most important part of a computer. While these are certainly vital aspects to an operating computer, the disk drive is just as important. Over the years, they have undergone numerous changes and have evolved considerably. The first hard disks were technically "external" devices, because they sat outside the case, contained within protective covers. However, these would barely qualify as hard drives to modern users, as their capacity was...

USB hard drive security may not be the first thing that springs to your mind when you're copying files from your main computer onto your flash drive. But maybe it should be.

Which is good if it's you that's doing the transferring but a lot less good if you happen to mislay your USB pen drive. So, what can you do to make your USB hard drive more secure? Obviously, you can't lock it away in a safe as that defeats the object of being able to quickly and easily copy or move files between your computers. But fortunately you can do something similar...

Oki C3600 Review

Posted by admin

A colour laser printer is the perfect answer with regard to home offices that print a large number of coloured paperwork. Priced at close to £270, the Oki C3600 is network ready and prints at an impressive speed in comparison with its competitors, but it is much larger than many printers and also falls short of the latest accessories say a full-colour LCD screen or even a wireless print server. We are also not very satisfied with the C3600's style, but we have never been too taken with laser printers generally speaking. The flat white C3600 measures 371 by 290 by 478mm and weighs approximately 21kg. We wouldn't call it a behemoth, but it's larger than the Samsung CLP315W, which measures only 389...

Have you ever thought of pushing an operating system into its own recycle bin? Well, it may not be possible practically but that's what most of them thought after using Microsoft Windows Vista. After getting used to Windows XP, which undeniably ruled over the last 8 years in the home and corporate segment, people's expectations increased when Microsoft tuned Vista. Though it was able to deliver the look and feel of a stylish new operating system, the performance part pulled it down. Few of them used it as they couldn't find any better option. Macintosh was heavy for pockets; Linux was too techy for beginners and so the only option was Windows. Being in a computer manufacturing industry, I had a...
