If you’re setting up a network, you are going to need a switch to sit at the centre of your network amd direct communications between computers. Netgear’s Platinum Series 5 Port 10/100 Switch FS605 is a five-port switch, so you can connect up to five computers. It supports fast Ethernet, running at 100 Mbps, but is also compatible with the slower Ethernet standard at 10 Mbps.
A switch is a device to which all computers in a network or section of a network send their data. A switch works out which computer should receive the data and sends it out to just that port. This is different from a hub, which directs everything it receives to all available ports, leaving it up to the receiving computers to work out if the data is intended for them.
It shouldn’t be hard to see that a switch is a lot quicker than a hub. All ports on a switch have the potential to run at the full speed of the network to which they’re connected. In a hub, the top speed of any port is the speed of the network divided by the number of ports in the hub. There’s also a limit to the number of hubs you can connect together to extend a network–there’s no such limit when connecting switches.
The FS605, about the size of a Pocket PC or portable CD drive, has a set of six LEDs on its front edge. The first shows when the power from the separate mains power pack is connected, while the other five show when individual ports in the switch are active. They shine yellow for an Ethernet connection and green for a fast Ethernet one, and flash as data passes through them.
You can position this Netgear switch horizontally on the desktop or vertically using the stand provided or wall-mounting. With all recent versions of Windows, all the software you need to set up a network is built into the operating system and no extra programs are needed or supplied by Netgear.
Should you need to connect the FS605 to another switch to extend your network, you don’t need to worry about using special cables or designating one of the ports as an uplink between the two switches. This device is intelligent enough to work it out itself and any of the five ports will automatically switch to an uplink mode as required. –Simon Williams

This quality 0.3m cable connects your iPod, iPhone 3G(S) + 4G, mp3 player or phone to your car via the aux in socket (present on many modern cars). This allows you to listen to your music from the iPod through your car’s stereo system with excellent sound quality. The cables have a robust design with dual moulded connecters – this means they last longer than other cheaper cables and so do not need replacing. The cables also have 24k gold plated connectors and a low loss wire core to ensure great sound quality that lasts. They are ROHS compliant meaning they fully comply with the latest European standards. The cables are compatible with cars which have a 3.5 mm aux input into stereo. These look like headphone sockets and may be located in the stereo unit, glove box or centre console. Most new cars now have these inputs, as well as many older Fords, BMW’s, Toyotas, Mercedes and Seat models. If you are not sure about compatibility just send us a message through Amazon. The cables can also be used to connect PC’s with headphone sockets to speaker systems or iPods to music centers / digital radios etc. If you are concerned about quality, look at this items feedback rating. You can also click on incarcables above to see our recent seller feedback. The cable is compatible with ALL iPods and the most recent 3G and 3GS iPhone. It is also compatible with pretty much every mp3 player. The only thing it will not work with is the original iPhone. It will also not work with the new (4G) iPod nano when the dock connector cable is plugged in at the same time. This cable (30cm) is ideal where a very short cable is more appropriate for a car. We also have 1.2m and 50cm available!

Amazon.co.uk Review
A milestone of the silent film era and one of the first “art films” to gain international acclaim, this eerie German classic from 1919 remains the most prominent example of German expressionism in the emerging art of the cinema. Stylistically, the look of the film’s painted sets–distorted perspectives, sharp angles, twisted architecture–was designed to reflect (or express) the splintered psychology of its title character, a sinister figure who uses a lanky somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) as a circus attraction. But when Caligari and his sleepwalker are suspected of murder, their novelty act is surrounded by more supernatural implications. With its mad-doctor scenario, striking visuals, and a haunting, zombie-like character at its centre, Caligari was one of the first horror films to reach an international audience, sending shock waves through artistic circles and serving as a strong influence on the classic horror films of the 1920s, 30s, and beyond. It’s a museum piece today, of interest more for its historical importance, but The Cabinet of Dr Caligari still casts a considerable spell. –Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
