Advantages: Small, lightweight, hours of fun, cheap Disadvantages: Nothing!
child to be able to put their treasured possessions. The handle height is a good size for 2 year old as well, it is roughly just at Harry's chest so he has a good area for gripping and he isn't struggling to push the trolley around either, which is a good thing.
We got our trolley from Mothercare, for the bargain price of £5.99. You can also buy it from the Mothercare website if your local store does not stock, although you have to pay a delivery charge of £4.95. It is advertised as being suitable for children aged over 2 years, but Harry is 21 months and fine with it, and I would have been happy letting him play with this once he was walking steadily at about 14 months.
It is worth noting that the trolley could be quite easy to tip over, so don't let your child fill it with objects that are too heavy as it could cause them an injury ...
Advantages: Quality sound, lots of software Disadvantages: Some software issues with Windows 2000
It was a landmark birthday for me a while back (I?m not telling you which landmark though, or how far back!) and some of my friends clubbed together and bought me this soundcard, mainly because it allows optical recording to mini disc (but more on that later).
I?ve already used Creative soundcards ? in fact I replaced one (a Live! 1024 Value 1024) with this new card. They?re very good pieces of computer equipment indeed, and if you?re thinking about replacing your own soundcard, I recommend Creative as a brand name to consider, irrespective of the card you choose.
OK, the Platinum5.1 card is a serious piece of kit aimed at musicians and people who want their computers to be their home cinema set-ups. The 5.1 refers to the surround sound capabilities of the sound card, but there is so much more to the card.

Advantages: Great graphics and longevity. Online capabilities are excelent. A very fun game. Disadvantages: Battling gets monotonous after a while; Not worth getting if you have Diamond/Pearl already
For any fan of the pokemon series, Pokemon Platinum is an amazing and brilliant game to own. This game is the third installment to the games Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and has many more features. The storyline is similar to the other two games and to every other pokemon game which is to fight through a building filled with trainers from an evil organisation. The battles here are monotonous and not very difficult to win. This aside, the game is brilliant in terms of gameplay with many pokemon to catch and a lot of legendary pokemon to keep you busy trying to get them. Even after the game is beaten there is a lot to do, train pokemon, catch them all, battle with friends, it could never end.
The graphics of this game are stunning. The Nintendo DS' 3D capabilities are really put to good use everywhere in the game and for a handheld game ...
