To save you the time, here are all the links to sites we used in the article
on shopping at computer fairs, published in issue 210 of Computeractive.
We set out to buy the parts needed for a
Personal
Video Recorder with a budget of only £100, but also looked at the benefits
of buying older software in the form of
Paint
Shop Pro X and its older (and now heavily discounted) sister,
Paint
Shop Pro 8.
We also talked to John Calder, of mail order firm
Not
Just Ink and Chris Whiteman, organiser of
British
Computer Fairs. At one fair, we also found Sony Playstation Portables for
sale at less than the price offered by
Argos.
And finally, we also listed a number of computer fair organisers. They're
listed below, complete with information on the areas they cover.
