As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to enhance my displays – this little gem did just that…

Windows 7 “Snapping” Windows – in Ubuntu Compiz!

May 3rd

As always, Microsoft have done nothing new with their latest OS.

So do I want to pay hundreds of pounds for Nikon Camera Control Pro 2? – Not really…
