Written by The Keyboard and Mouse that came with the Dell was a funny looking thing and it was not something I had intended to use as I have the Logitech 710 Set along with the Microsoft 6000 Set, so no shortage of decent Wireless Keyboard & Mice.

I bought my computer desks at Staples many years back, I recall passing a Store, needing a Desk so bought what could be termed as expensive – that’s 2 x Desks, a Corner Unit and a Stand you fit at the back for the Monitor (or Printer). Due to the size of the Desk’s and the size of my Room, it was always hard to find the ideal placement of these to make best use of the space.
Virgin Media – Traffic Management
Traffic Management for my Connection (20mbit / 768K) is as follows:
10am-3pm Download 7000MB then restricted to 75% of your connection speed (4mbit/200K)
4pm – 9pm Download 3500MB then restricted to 75%
3pm – 8pm Upload 1400MB then restricted to 75%
