Are you sick of having no room on your computer table, if so here are a few tips that might help you on your way?

If you still own one of those HUGE CRT monitors maybe it’s now a good idea to purchase one of the new more modern looking TFT monitors, they are a fifth of the size of cumbersome CRT monitors and much more aesthetic looking in the process.

Prices for a good CRT monitor have dropped considerably over the last 12 months and a 17” monitor which I find big enough for most uses can be purchased for around $200.

Other great purchases which are now the much smaller are compact keyboards, even a smaller than normal mouse can be bought for only a few dollars and are often more preferred for the female pc user.

Also you could always turn to a laptop which would be much more portable and you could have it anywhere in the home, making wireless networking a great idea, if you havebroadband.

Being wireless enabled is now very cost effective and now the best thing about it is how simple it all is to put together, most laptops already come with the WIFI card built in.

Also if you travel a lot a laptop computer is a very indispensable bit of kit, they are also very versatile and extremely lightweight the Apple G4 iBook probably being the lightest one around at the moment.

I suppose the only downside to a laptop compared to a desktop is that if you are really into gaming it maybe doesn’t quite cut the mustard like the laptop, Laptops usually share memory between the CPU(central processing unit) and the GPU(graphics processing unit), saving a lot of space and helping reduce power consumption.

Whichever way you look at it they all have there own pro’s and con’s and are still in my opinion a wonder of the modern age.
