Advantages: Great value, loads of features, high quality prints, fast
Disadvantages: Price of ink - but that's nothing unusual

...a complete set of six for less than £30, or £5.95 per cartridge (regardless of colour). Another great priced company are www.inkandstuff.co.uk although I cannot comment on quality or service from them (they are UK only). It should be noted that using compatible cartridges will invalidate your warranty. The cartridges are the same for the R200, RX500 & RX600. For reference, the part numbers are as follows : T0481 (Black), T0482 (Cyan), T0483 (Magenta), T0484 (Yellow), T0485 (Light Cyan), T0486 (Light Magenta). How long each cartridge lasts really depends on usage, Epson quote around 430 A4 pages per colour but this is at 360dpi and a 5% coverage – totally irrelevant for photo printing. It should be noted that if any of the cartridges becomes empty, you will not be able to print, so it’s advisable to keep a stock of spares. With regards to paper... Read review

Advantages: Fast, Reliable and Pretty Damn Good
Disadvantages: A tad noisy, Can be a bit awkward to get used to

...````````````` This printer is very reliable and with Epson's 12 month manufactures guarantee you cant go wrong. Efficiency **UPDATED** ```````````` I find this printer to be very efficient on ink as with most Epson printers the compatible ink available on the market makes the Epson printer range the cheapest bar none. The Epson R200 boasts 6 seperate ink cartridges, which are in place to give a better quality of print and also help keep costs down due to replacing the specific ink cartridge rather than the complete colour ink (this was a problem in older models such as the C62). The cartridges exist of the following: 1) Black (T0481) 2) Cyan (T0482) 3) Light Cyan (T0485) 4) Magenta (T0483) 5) Light Magenta (T0486) 6) Yellow (T0484) The replacement of ink is very easy and does in all honestly last quite a while (depends on what your...

...***Background*** Ian Whybrow is well known for writing about Harry and His Bucketful of Dinosaurs and also for the Little Wolf series, both of which have been made into television programmes. Caroline Jayne Church has illustrated a wide variety of books for other authors but also writes some books herself too. ***The Story*** The story begins, "Wobble Bear was bouncing. (He was bouncing on the bed.) His mummy caught him in a towel And this is what she said: Now listen to this colour, Try to fix it in your head - The colour of this towel is RED, RED, RED! Now, what colour is the towel, Wobble? And Wobble laughed and said, YELLOW!" All the way through the story Mummy Bear introduces Wobble to different colours but each time she asks him what colour it is, he always replies yellow. Then it is time for him... Read review

Advantages: good fun, lots of accessories to buy, small and portable, can battle and trade with others
Disadvantages: takes a long time to complete a game, can't save many games at once, expensive

...For my 10th birthday, I received a Pokemon Yellow game and Gameboy (Nintendo 64). I put the game in, turned on the Gameboy and started what would be a whole new animated adventure. You get to choose your name, your rival’s name and the names of the Pokemon you catch, but they can only be ten letters or symbols maximum. The aim of the game is to go through each of the ten towns, defeat as many of the trainers as possible, conquer the gym leaders and become a Pokemon Master (the title’s the same for females and males alike). It all depends on your skills to how hard it is or how long it takes, but it usually takes me a few months. (Long time for a game, isn’t it?) You can save the game (thankfully), but it takes up too much memory (the Gameboy’s, that is!) to save more than one at a time. It would be very... Read review

Advantages: classy
Disadvantages: feminine

...After the success of the first scent but heavily criticised of its feminine side, Ferrari decided to bring another fragrance in a yellow bottle and really makes feminine. I was disappointed with the yellow line and it put me off replacing my red bottle. The scent is very nice but the type that’s too feminine for men and not feminine enough for women. I guess the Ferrari camp really lost plot this time, but you be happy to know they brought a new bottle which is black but I haven’t had the pleasure of its scent.... Read review

Advantages: Great music, wonderful value, excellent lyrics
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...I’m currently in the process of collecting all my favourite vinyl albums on CD and finding some real bargains in the process. My latest acquisition at a mere £4.99 from Our Price is Elton John’s classic double album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’. I can vividly remember buying the original version on a day trip to London, just before Christmas in 1973. I went with some of my friends on the train, no mean feat in those days from the Shropshire backwaters and bought it from what I believe to be Virgin’s first music shop in Oxford Street. Nearly thirty years ago – doesn’t time fly! And yet the music and the memories are as fresh as ever. Goodbye Yellowbrick Road was the peak of Elton's fabulous ride through the 70s. The album is as enchanting and nostalgic as ‘The Wizard of Oz’ from... Read review

Advantages: Beautifully written
Disadvantages: Images of war are never nice.

...I don't often write book reviews but I really enjoyed (if that is the right turn of phrase) this book and thought I would share my thoughts. Half of a Yellow Sun is set in Nigeria during the 1960s and the title comes from the national emblem for Biafra. Whilst I, like many others of my generation, remember the harrowing television images of starving children during the Biafrian crisis, I have to confess my understanding of the background to that crisis was quite derisory. Although this book is fiction it is set during the now well documented political revolution and, judging by the dedication at the front of the book, it is a period time during which some of the authors forefathers perished. It provides a harrowing account of the impact that war can have on civilian life; touching on issues of class and race and of tribal hostility... Read review

Advantages: Good grapics
Disadvantages: very addictive, boring when completed the game

...I got this game a few months ago expecting it to be a great game as said in magazines and at first i thought wow i have got a great game now i hardly touch it. It is quite good at the start as it is very challenging but it starts to get a bit boring and once you completed the pokemon league about 20 times. First this it quite similar to pokemon blue and red but you start with pikachu and no other pokemon well you can tell with it being called special pikachu edition. You cannot use the 99 items cheat on pokemon yellow for some reason and it only works for versions blue and red. This game is for the gameboy and you can trade pokemons with another player using the cable link. There are more than 100 Pokemon in existence. The more they fight, the more powerful they become. At first Pokemon only have simple attack techniques like tackle... Read review
