    Yeah it can be handy for the research phase of things, makes it easy to cut/paste just about anything into a structured filing system.

    i have, and its good for notes etc. because of the easy filing and no page limit size (not stuck on A4).
    C&P has an automated footer (of the thing you pasted) that links back to where you copied the (thing you pasted).

    OneNote is brilliant. Even better when you sync notebooks to Skydrive

  The surge boards are probably worth nothing more than $50, but nevertheless, its still a good deal.

  If you're a student you can probably get a better deal than this (e.g. Office Professional at http://www.microsoft.com/student/office/en-au/default.aspx for $99 - if you don't need the powerboard). If your work uses Office it may well be able to give you a link to buy a home version for about $9.

    ShortyX on 04/01/2012 - 15:20

    Agreed. Esp since there's no Outlook

    I have worked at quite a few places that use Office and have not heard of this. How is it possible?

      Depends on their contract/licensing deal with Microsoft (which can vary eg. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/software-assurance/home-u…). Check with your IT department at work to see if it's available. Work would effectively be subsidising your home licence.

        Yep, well worth checking out.

  im sure DSE buy the surge boards at a cost of $5

  • 

    Jayskies on 04/01/2012 - 16:50

    Im sure you're wrong

    • 

      enforcer103 on 04/01/2012 - 19:08

      yeah $5 was probably for real new - not DSN - dick smith new -although he could have meant $5 HK and stopped prem

    This is not one of your run-of-the-mil, el cheapo Jackson/HPM surge boards that do absolutely nothing.

    Gas Discharge Arrestor, 6 MOVs and 2000 joule rating is more than adequate for an array of computing hardware and/or home theatre equipment.

    You'd be looking at $150-300 for a similar spec surge protector from Belkin, Monster, Arlec, APC, etc.
    The only thing this surge protector lacks is EMI/Noise Filtering.

    The only other brand that are usually this good value are Huntkey.

  If I am not a student, is it just as illegal to use this if I downloaded a copy from a torrent site? From what I understand, if you do not meet all the requirements of a certain type of license, that's just as bad as stealing it.

    You should not be saying those torrent downloading here.

    This "Home & Student" version is just the name of the product. It's just a different bundle of Office products eg. http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/buy/office-2010-which-suit…

    It is not an educational or student-only licence so anyone can legally buy it whether they are a student or not.

    • 

      effgee on 09/01/2012 - 01:11

      Not quite accurate; anyone can buy it but not just anyone can use it:

      From http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/products/office-2010-frequ…

  Just went down and picked up a copy. Good deal :)

  Hey guys how does this thing work? Do you get 3x sets of keys for the products?

  If so, does anyone want to sell a set for $40? You can keep the board.

    I'm pretty sure it's one key licensed for installation on three PCs in the same household.

    In any case once you start splitting the license by installing outside of the household it's just as bad as going down the "other" path
