Recently my Mum said that her Sky+ box kept crashing. Sky has replaced numerous boxes and still they crash/fail. They are known to have cheap power supplies, which would suggest they would have no tolerance to power fluctuations. I have never ever had any trouble with my box. However my box gets its power from a Belkin PureAV Home Cinema Surge Protector, which I bought to protect my HDTV (this set up was in my Mum's house before I moved out and I had no problems). So I thought I would try one on my Mum's setup. Sure enough she hasn't experienced one problem since it went in. So they obviously do something.

I've owned this mouse for about 2 yrs now and its still going strong. I love it to bits and as others have said, it does look good. ... and i would buy it again. The reason i didn't go for a wireless one is because i cant be bothered with changing the batteries! This one is great, and the accuracy is fine for me. As someone has mentioned, the scroll wheel rubber has streached, and this is true for mine also(bit annoying!!) but i still love it. - maybe not for someone with large hands or use it constantly for long periods of time.
Hope this helps :)

For years I have had my desk in a corner with all of the plugs behind the rear leg of the desk. Night after night the internet and pc's being on standby. I have not been able to get down on the floor to turn the plugs off so this little gadget really is a life saver. This is my second pack now as I have fitted them to other things around the house. Dont know how I ever managed without it.

I'm afraid some reviewers have missed the point with this device, ok, if you can reach the switches easily, then that isn't a problem, but for so many of us having all the wiring, sockets etc tucked out of the way like mine, then this is a godsend!
Turn your PC on and 5 seconds later all the peripherals are on, no problem.
I'm definately getting one for the TV etc next.
Hope this is of some use.
