Funny Gadgets

Choice of which computer used to be determined by just your budget. Now, you get to choose between laptop or desktop, large or compact, mac or microsoft, branded or budget and then throw in all the extras you now need to check for to fit in with the rest of your gear - wireless, bluetooth, dvdrw etc. etc. and you end up asking your IT buddy a whole host of questions whilst he's trying to watch the match. Doesn't help when most electrical stores these days (you know who you are) are hiring cheap 18-year old staff who can't even work their own iPod properly. Well, one of the benefits of online shopping is the vast array of information available on each product and the ever popular 'compare' buttons on nearly every major retailer.

Unlike the old days (well, 2006) when I used to have to go through 5-6 staff just to find out how long the battery lasted in any given laptop, I get all the info I need and can customize my computer within minutes. Even better, all my consumables like paper and ink are available at my local Tesco's. No 20 minute queues to buy a mouse-pad anymore! I've always been disappointed with the lack of competition on the high street. With Dixons, Currys and PC World all the same company there really isn't a whole host of great deals out there. Even online most of the general retailers are selling stuff that went out of date six months ago so why pay today's prices for yesterday's technology. Considering the amount of money to be made I'm really surprised that Virgin Computers or EasyComp never started up. †
