Advantages: Great for travelling, friendly, easy to get around, clean Disadvantages: Swiss German is impossible to understand unless you grew up with it!
Last year (July 2005-6) I had the great pleasure and honour of living in Basel as part of my degree. I was working for one of the many chemical companies near the centre, and living in one of the smaller suburbs, Muttenz. I've been back in England now for three months (at the time of writing), and I miss it all like crazy.
If ever there was a good place to start, it's the beginning. Basel is riddled with history; originally a Celtic tribe lived here, until the Romans moved in circa 40BC to Augusta Raurica. Key points in the development of the city include gaining the influence and power of the Bishopric in the 7th century, settlement at various times by both the Frankish and Allemaniac tribes of modern-day France and Germany respectively, and ultimately the integration into the Swiss Confederation in 1501. 28 years later it became ...

Advantages: Size and definition Disadvantages: Fiddly buttons
I just purchased my first Digital Photo Frame and after much research chose the Sony DPF D80, WOW a terrific product. The 8" size makes a real difference versus the more standard 7" versions. The definition and resolution is superb 800x600 and the 4:3 sizing is a major plus. The many available settings are easy to use and I would recommend changing a number of the factory settings to optimise your own displays. I particularly liked the zoom function which provides 4x magnification its terrific! Build quality is superb although I find the tiny on/off switch a little troublesome, it needs a little reaction time to work, so press once and wait a few seconds. The auto power on/off is a very useful and green "feature". I feel the extra cost of this product is well justified. ...
