The cartridges keep drying out, and as soon as that happens I can't use the scanner anymore. So I'm wondering if I should get the Dell cartriges refilled or…

BBC Micro Flopy Discs
The recent thread on the old Acorn computers (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3210280) brought back some memories of many an evening hunched over my old BBC Micro. I have just had a rummage in the loft and found my old 5 1/4 floppies; many of which had programs wot I wrote. I'd love to be able to try and…

Sky+ box replacement
I am thinking of canceling Sky for the summer and getting either a Humax or a Digital Stream as a replacement recorder. Prices range from less than £100 to over £300 depending on Freeview, Freesat, HD and hard drive size. Would I regret buying this for £90 http://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/product.asp?ProdRef=10069&cat=Factory…

Cleaning PC tower
my PC tower appears to be full of dust (you can see it through the air vents) and it makes a noise like aircraft taking off lol. I have been advised to open it and clean it, and vacuum out the dust, but I don't really want to pay for someone to do this as it'll cast a mini fortune, but I'm scared of causing static and…

Problem with Opera and CCleaner
The one thing I really like about Opera is that even after you shut down the pc, when you open Opera, all the tabs you had open are still there and open. However after I run CCleaner, it loses the tabs and all that is there is the Speed Dial screen. I have CCleaner set to retain the cookies for Opera and a couple of other…

is this a good printer to buy?
Is this a good printer deal? Epson SX415 All in One Colour Printer, £39.99 (£10 off) at Argos? I mostly want it just to print the odd B&W page, maybe longer print runs from time to time, so something simpler would be fine too, but they don't seem to make simple printers any more! I thought about getting a 2nd hand one but…
