My New Gadgets are Here – UK Sockets are Different

Reminder to myself - Although electronic equipment is way cheaper in Germany mind that the sockets are different in the UK

My new Gadgets have been delivered… here they are:

As widescreen monitors are getting cheaper everyday I found it was
about time to get me a new one. My old 17’’ was priced more than 1000
Euros by the time I bought it.

I’ve got me a 226BW 22″ Widescreen Display
imagine having elbow room on screen. That’s exactly what you get with the Samsung BW series of widescreen LCD monitors. Wide 16:10 aspect ratios let you multitask, with room for more than one application at a time. The extra room also makes working with graphics programs and multiple tool palletes easier.

True! Well almost. Although it felt weird and way too big first I already think well I could do wit a little more space…

And a Logitech® Z-10 Interactive Speaker System
See it. Touch it. Hear it.

With built-in touch-sensitive multimedia controls and a backlighted display that shows digital-music track information, a clock, volume and more, these trophy speakers are meant to be touched and seen. Perfect for use with either a desktop or notebook PC, the powerful speakers deliver rich audio without using a separate space-consuming subwoofer. The bi-amp design, 25.4 mm dome tweeters and 76 mm high-excursion woofers deliver studio-quality sound that fills a room.

Great sound! Really and as I didn’t want yet another 6 piece 5.1 sorround system this is just what I like! Only thing is that I didn’t get the idea behind the LCD-Display on the Speaker yet …
