| DRN Competition Windows 7 Competition View |
Winners Announced!
What a great stack of Comments we had on our first WHAT IS IT?!? Competition!
We had nearly 200 Comments, some very funny, some pretty clever.
In the end it was a simple answer that was the solution: yes, it's an aerial view of a salty pond and it happens to be near Albany, Western Australia.
Here's the full view (uncropped) of that image:

| Whatmough Synergy2 |
Having recently received the Popcorn Hour C-200 for review, I decided it was time to look at replacing my trusty (but wholly outdated) Onkyo 838 receiver. While the Onkyo still sounds fantastic, its inability to decode all but vanilla Dolby Digital is finally becoming a problem.
So it was by pure chance that I stumbled into A1 Audio this afternoon and discovered a set of tiny but very impressive Australian designed speakers.

Well I don’t care how old or young you are, if you have a nice car then it really has to have a nice note as well.
But if you’re a young bloke or a night owl how do you get home in the wee hours without disturbing the neighbours or even the wife.
Well it seems like the guys from www.xforce.com.au have the answer, they have designed a muffler system that you can vary, hence the name Varex, altered by remote so you can very quietly sneak home. They have been kind enough to agree to send me two for my 700 hp Supercharged AC Cobra lets see how they go at calming “the Beast”.
So stay within earshot and we will look at them in the next week or so!

Going on holidays, but wonder how you will get around when you don’t understand the language and think you may have to hire a local as a translator?
Don’t bother: take one of these with you.
www.oo.com.au are sending us a translator you could fit in your pocket.
Soon as it arrives we will give it a work out and see if some other nationalities understand us.

| Telefunken DVD/VCR Recorder Combo |
Are you someone who has taken some important or nostalgic videos on the old VHS medium, and now can’t watch them at all as you don’t have a VHS recorder?
Well you're in luck as www.oo.com.au has been nice enough to send us a machine that will convert it all to DVD.
According to the Spec sheet, that’s not all the machine can do, but you will have to wait as we put it through the long check list we have for it.
We expect it to arrive in a few days, and then we will copy some important VHS family videos from the dungeon to DVD and give a full report on just how successful we have been.
