Hexbug Crab


It has the added bonus of a light sensor. It won’t run away from obstacles, but for some reason it just can’t stand the light, so it’ll scuttle away to hide in a dark corner when provoked. Once they have found the dark they remain motionless until they are disturbed. These funky little critters make great little desktop friends.

With Christmas come and gone some of the luckier among us may have a new laptop or computer to play with. You might be getting used to the new experiences that may be Windows 7, or OSX Lion. Maybe you have a touch screen PC and, like me, are still reaching for the mouse at every opportunity. For that matter, perhaps you have a new laptop and you are struggling with touchpaditis, symptoms include severe exasperation, confusion and feelings that you must persist with the touch pad rather than giving in to plugging in a USB mouse.


Remember that your computer will probably come loaded with antivirus software that you can expect to last a couple of months before the vendor asks for you to pay. I always recommend that you look elsewhere for an antivirus deal rather than hand your card details over to them. Norton and McAfee are the two main players here, but both are quite expensive. I had a client recently who was in an antivirus syndicate where the three user licence was purchased at Amazon.com and shared through three individuals. A good idea if you can find like minds.


In most new Windows computers you find now that Microsoft has loosened their grip on the two most popular office applications, Word and Excel. You can now go to Office 2010 in the start menu and select ‘Starter’ option. This will let you use these programs on the proviso that you can put up with the relatively subdued advertising they offer.


Your old computer or laptop is never completely beyond hope. They can at the very least be recycled by me or by many other computer technicians. However you dispose of your machine, be sure to remove the hard drive from it or to have the data completely deleted. See my advert on page 7 for contact details.
