| New Product - HP IPAQ Pocket PC H1900 |
|
|
In response to customer feedback, HP have developed a low cost PDA device with loads of features. The H1900 has been re-designed from the ground up and offers excellent buying amongst todays PDA units.
The H1900 uses a USB cable for data transfer and recharging the batteries (negative side for me as I prefer a docking station). This unit is not suited for people looking for expandability and wireless networking - more so, it is an exception entry level PDA with excellent colour and all the common features required of a PDA.

| When manufacturing goes wrong... |
|
|
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has suspended the licence held by Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited of Sydney to manufacture medicines, for a period of six months with effect 28 April 2003, because of serious concerns about the quality and safety of products manufactured by the company.
The suspension follows audits of the company's manufacturing premises, which revealed widespread and serious deficiencies and failures in the company's manufacturing and quality control procedures, including the systematic and deliberate manipulation of quality control test data. The licence has been suspended in order to urgently address the safety and quality concerns posed by the multiple manufacturing breaches. Where the quality of a medicine cannot be certain, neither can the safety or effectiveness of that medicine.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia's national regulator for medicines and other therapeutic goods, has required Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited to immediately recall all batches and pack sizes of the products shown in the attached lists.
This information was extracted from the Therapeutic Goods Administration website, Pan Pharmaceuticals Limited - Regulatory Action and Product Recall Information.

| Thinking of upgrading from Windows 98 to Win XP ?? |
|
|
If you are thinking of upgrading from Windows 95/98/ME to Windows XP, there are a host of questions you should ask yourself before doing so.
Windows XP is very (technologically) different to the earlier 'home user' oriented operating systems as it is based on the 32 bit NT and later Windows 2000 technology. As you could imagine with such a large difference in base operating system, all upgrades are never 100% trouble free.
My suggestion when upgrading to Windows XP is to backup all of your information, format your computer, and install Windows XP from scratch. If you would prefer to take the upgrade route, this information may come in handy.
