  1. The Apple products do have some nice features as standard like being able to use them to stream music to remote speakers and extend the range of your wireless network with WDS. They also have dual band WiFi which is not standard on other products.
  2. You broadband speed can also depend on lots of other factors http://www.choose.net/media/guide/features/broadband-speeds-explained.html Might be worth looking at providers with lower contention ratios rather than trying to contend between your own lines
  3. Length width and height wise... Yeti 4,222 x 1,956 x 1,691 Roomster 4,214 x 1,897 x 1,607 S-Cross 4,300 x 1,765 x 1,575 So it is just a but longer, but smaller width and height
  4. Can you not just connect the 2 together with an ethernet cable? What about USB, using the old machine as an external drive to the new?
  5. So after 3 years and 25,500 miles I have traded in my Roomster. Have to say it has been an excellent car and very difficult to find something with anything like the spec for the money. I think it must have known it's days were numbered as a week before it went I had the LCD screen go blank. Fortunately it recovered itself, and checking posts on Briskoda helped me to know what was going on. Apart from that can't fault the car DSG is the best robotised clutch system I have used. If anyone comes across an 11 plate, blue Roomster with about 25k on the clock, front fogs and climate control then you are getting a great car. This is not really a replacement for the Roomster as it is nowhere near as versatile but it is something you don't see too many of at the moment and is what I now own... A Suzuki S-Cross in SZ5 trim. Many thanks to everyone on Briskoda for making the last 3 years so informative and fun, this is definitely one of, if not the best motoring community I have encountered online.
  6. We were at an event yesterday and there were announcements over the tannoy about people leaving their dogs in cars. 1st announcement said police and animal protectection were being informed. 2nd announcement said police will now break into your car to let the dog out. Great cheers and approval from the crowd at both of these suggestions.
  7. A friend who is a dog breeder told me that when you get to 3 you start to get some pack behaviour with 1 of the animals trying to be pack leader and potentially fighting it out with the previous dominate dog. If you can make all 3 aware that YOU are the pack leader then this can be controlled. Don't know if this will happen but just something to be aware of.
  8. What components are you including in those prices? Just getting Office software on a PC will cost you at least £60 a year or around £150 to purchase outright. Pages, Numbers and Keynote are included in the price of an iMac. This is from an article discussing how much the parts in a 2006 iMac cost... Source http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/iSuppli_Intel_iMac_Carries_873_Worth_of_Parts If it was me I would go for the highest spec you can afford. I am still running a 12 year old G4 Mac tower and it loads and runs the copy of Office from about 5 years ago faster than the newer machine with the newer versions.
  9. Don't forget these guys who think the Roomster is a hotel room www.youtube.com/embed/3cy3gKwirLk Discussed on this post http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/254882-swiss-roomster-camper/?hl=%2Broomster+%2Bcamper#entry2992875
  10. Just goes to show what happens when you hire The Stig as your wedding planner :peek:
  11. We take our Westie to the groomers and it can be like a visit to the hairdresser where you specify if you want a traditional groom style (like a show style) or just an all over trim. We also use the groomer for jobs like claw trimming where it is possible to cut them too short and draw blood.
  12. I have found ambient temp make a difference to MPG figures, take a big dip in the winter. Best in warmer weather around 60mph.
  13. I would also make sure any wireless device is dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz. If you are going down the iPad route have a look at an Apple AirPort Express for £80 or less, you get the ability to stream audio and share a printer.
  14. Another way to create a secure password is using a phrase rather than 1 word and use mixed case, numbers and punctuation. Takes longer to hack something with 20 characters than something with 5.
  15. Seeing as Spring is nearly upon us you could put some nice bedding plants around the boarder of the lawn, maybe a nice string of nails, this might help to keep his car on the road and off the grass. Sadly there is not much you can do about neighbours from hell except generate a log of incidents and keep an evidence trail, cctv pics etc. This does of course seem to be going OTT but if anything major happens down the line you only have your word against the other party.
