I like my 20" Dell widescreen LCD monitor running at proper resolution in dual display mode via DVI from my 12" Powerbook. It's been more satisfactory since I did it that way. I organized my phone line that has the high-speed with all of the house connections coming to one filter, and a splitter to the modem. Nope, a friend on mine had that - best thing is to get another filter. I may lose a little enthusiasm when I have to change the ink cartridges but we shall see! The interface is a joy (LCD display and menu driven) and it even prints CDs.

pdf etc from the auto doc feeder with a full duplex scan and print. It is so well put together, scanning direct to. Speaking of best of ever owned things: I am just gazing across at my Canon MP830 which is a beauteous thing to behold - I want for nothing more in terms of printer, scanner, copier and fax. I myself am a proud 'switcher' and couldn't be happier with my shiny iMac (specially since the student discount included a £100 rebate on my equally shiny iPod Nano ).Īh, fantastic idea - a dedicated thread for hardware! I am still tapping on my $10 kbd job, but hoping to get the time soon to acquire the too sexy by arf, Logitech MX5000 desktop. Since I got my shiny lovely Macbook last year I haven't acquired any new techy toys.Īh, wondered how long it would take to get onto the computer-company-that-fell-from-a-tree here. Maybe you can complain to your ISP and request a replacement? Mine were bundled with the modem when I signed up the broadband. If not, you'll have just the interference problems you describe. And, BTW, you'll need one for each and every connection in your house/flat!Įvery phoneline needs one. Can I get myself a Better Filter, or are they all equally shite, and I just have to put up with it? More from me later - on my Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse - that too the best I've ever used.ĭoes anyone happen to know anything about those filter thingys which you plug your broadband modem and telephone into? Mine seems to be shite, as I get loads of noise on my land line when the internet is connected, and my phone seems to break my connection when it automatically dials into my voicemail. You can play around with the stuff you want to put on there and program your own thingies, if you like.

The G15 also has a small, programmable LCD screen that shows time and date, CPU and RAM usage, track played on some media software etc - whatever you want. You can turn the light off, and so the keys look a bit similar to the blank ones on 'Das Keyboard', mentioned on the other thread.īut that's not all. I've put shortcuts of lots of programmes I regularly need on there, and it's still got space left! Certainly haven't yet used it to the max, and wonder if I ever will - but for me, that's the beauty of it.Īnother feature are the blue backlit keys, which are fabulous. I'm not really into gaming, but the G15 has 3 times 18 freely programmable macro keys. It comes with cable (less chance of losing it.), is extremly sturdy and robust and undoubtedly the best keyboard I've ever had. Somebody on the general Q&A wanted to get a new Logitech keyboard, and I then proudly (and geekily, let it be noted ) stated that I was the happy owner of a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. I suggest posting here, on Ancient Geek - The Computer Thread, with questions great and small, comments, observations, and of course as much (or as little!) geeky outbursts as ever you like. here, on the Q&A thread.Ĭan't keep us geeks from infiltrating profoundly reasonable and helpful down-to-earth threads? Now you can! I thought I'd start this, as there have been rather geeky things going on e.g. Thread: HEAVEN: Ancient Geek - the computer thread Board: Limbo / Ship of Fools.
