If you enjoy watching TV then I’m here to introduce you to your new best friend: the Personal Video Recorder or PVR. A PVR (also called DVR: Digital Video Recorder) is basically a hard drive similar to what you would have in your computer, but this one is set up in your living room. You use a PVR as you would a VCR (remember those?): record shows, fast forward, rewind etc… While VCRs use sequential recording (they record on a tape and you have to ensure your tape is queued to the right spot or you will erase something important), PVRs use digital files and store them on its hard drive so you never have to worry about copying over something you haven’t seen yet.
While GPS (Global Positioning System) is not that new, the world has recently exploded with GPS sales making it the new “gotta have it” electronic gadget. In the past GPS were relegated to handheld units, which are great for outdoors-y type people, but now that you can get GPS with larger screens built right into your car, everybody wants one. If you have never experienced the benefits of GPS first hand then ask around until you find a friend or colleague who has one. Their reaction will be unanimous: they love their GPS and now will never be able to live without one. If you are looking to pick up a GPS then here are a few things you should be aware of.  |
