That down/up ratio though...

 

Considering I have gone from circa 38Mb down I'm happy, especially as the triple play package is £60 per month cheaper than Sky TV, BT Infinity & phone previously plus I also now get an extra TiVo box and Sky Cinema as well - bonus.

There are around 12 - 15 devices in the house all competing for bandwidth (Netflix, Amazon Prime, catch-up TV, Spotify, YouTube are the main "consumption" culprits) so the down speed is the main benefit.

 

Well worth persevering and getting used to it. I started using a vertical mouse nearly 3 years ago, has been great for my knackered right wrist.

 

Hey I got one of those. The most difficult thing is learning to double click without making the mouse twitch on the mat.

 

its noticeable straight away solved the tingling hand, very strange when I had it explained to me, it tingles not because its staved of blood, more that the nerves triggered a response to push more blood to your hand to try an un compress the nerve

Yes its proving quite hard so far but I'll get the hang of it. The button on the top so to speak, is that a stop button? Its the only one I cant fathom.

Comfortable rodent though, the red glow is nice just wish it was more even.

 

La-Z-Boy swivel chair and footstool.

 

Gents, as a fellow RSI sufferer, I highly recommend switching Windows to single-click mode with highlight links.

Instantly you cut in half the number of clicks your wrist/hand/finger/whichever bit is actually hurting has to make in a given day.

I got an ergo mouse and an ergo keyboard but honestly going single click probably made the biggest difference.

 

I set the wheel to give a double click when clicked once.

 

The button on the top edge is a dpi switch, the Anker mice only have two settings of high-ish and low-ish so it isn't a huge difference.

 

Bluetooth card for my Laptop.

Realised it didnt have one built in last night, but it was an optional extra on the machine i have so picked one up for £7 should be handy when it arrives

 

In what may be either a moment of insanity, or a shrewd investment, a pair of 27x36in prints each signed by Stan Lee...

 

Wow.. just googled the above as I was being incredibly nosey. That's a tidy sum for two prints.

Really nice prints though, by far the best two out of the range.

 

If it's something that @Mister_Tad buys then it's usually out of reach of mere mortals

 

I walked past the shop and there was one on display just inside in the window, and my initial reaction was "dammit, that would be awesome in the cinema, shame about the price", carried on about my business but it niggled at me. I met my Mrs an hour later and by that point had fully rationalised it, so thought I should bring her back for a litmus test, and it passed with flying colours.

Ever since kitting out a home cinema room I've been after something for one of the walls, in my mind thinking probably movie posters, but never found anything that really sung to me until these. And it's not like Stan Lee is going to be putting his autograph on much else any more.

This isn't true, in the same trip into the city centre I also purchased two packets of ham, two bags of crisps and a 2l bottle of pepsi max.

 

I'm glad I didn't specify the Tyrrell's crisps.

We were having guests after all, so only the fanciest will do.

Now where did I put my giant pyramid of ferrero rocher

 

Picked up my first G-Shock on Friday. Wanted a G-Shock since I was around 8...
