Electronic toys by Fred

Today, whilst babysitting my naughty daughter, I decided to wander into a local electronics shop known as Electronics city. The place is pretty good for home stuff but not really a 'boys' toys' shop. I have to admit, they have some especially nice ...

Like many people, I have had little luck with inkjet printers. The things are cheap but never seem to last very long, or the ink runs out quickly and is expensive to replace. My last one died a death, yet again, so I decided to hang on before buying ... Read More
