Our house is a very, very, very nice house as the song goes. What it fails to mention is that it is now groaning under the weight of gadgets, as most houses in the UK I have a few niceties to help while away the hours, namely:-
4 LCD TV's, 3 TFT monitors, 1 laptop, 2 PC's, 1 Gaming console,
1 Gaming chair, 2 MP3 players, 1 MP4 player, 5 digital cameras, 2 printers, 1000 DVD's and CD's, 1 TV Hard disk recorder, 1 portable DVD player, 1 Digital Camcorder, 1 scanner, 1 HD-DVD drive (now redundant - thanks Toshiba), 4 DVD players, 1 Surround sound system, 1 freeview box, 3 digital photo frames, 1 disco light ball, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...is there no end, nope I love technology.
Modern life eh??

Please sir, can I have one????
One news item that caught my eye this week is the announcement of the 1 Terabyte Solid State Drive.
A SSD replaces your hard disk in your PC and it uses similar technology to what is used in flash memory cards (as used in digital camera's), so there are no moving parts, no disk heads to crash, no sound at all from the drive itself when operating.
This is a 2.5" drive that will store one trillion pieces of information, or one thousand Gigabytes.
The company goes onto to say that 4 of these drives will take the same space up as one existing normal Hard disk.
The smaller drives have been around quite a while now, and you can pick them up for around £200 for a 128 Gig.
You will also be able to retro fit them into most of the latest laptops.
These drives also use a lot less power, and are blisteringly fast.
Once again Technology has amazed me with advancing way beyond anyones expectations.
