  • Remember, Remember your USB Memory!
     

      usbmem  

      If you don't already know, USB flash drives (also known as pen drives, or USB memory sticks) are a cheap, convenient and portable (about the size of a chunky pen or keyfob) way to store and transfer large files. They use Flash Memory to store data - this is a form of memory that keeps its contents even when unplugged and power is removed. They are referred to by several different names: USB pens, USB keys, mini-USB drives, USB flash drives, etc. To use them, you just plug the device into a USB socket on a computer and a new drive is detected so you can read and write files, here are some facts:.

      <li>They store much more data than a floppy disk,
      

      versions come in capacities from 128MB up to 2GB

      <li>They are smaller, easier to use and more
      

      convenient than a CD-R or CD- RW

      <li>They work straight away with Windows ME, 2000,
      

      XP (drivers required for Windows 98)

      <li>There are no moving parts to break making them
      

      very robust

      Many people find these memory sticks invaluable, once you have used one there is no going back. They can also be a very useful aid to education allowing students to store their work on them and transfer to and from college or university with ease.  

      Stinkyink stock USB memory sticks in a range of memory sizes starting from 128mb right up to 2GB, and with prices starting at £10.99, including VAT and Carriage, you cant go wrong.

    Great deals on Paper
     

      digicam  

      Gone are the days where the only place to have your holiday snaps developed was on the high street. No doubt most of you already have digital cameras and print your own photographs at home, and you know how much money it can save you as well as losing the inconvenience of having to wait for your photos to be developed by a photolab. With the constant advancement in new technology, home printers can now produce incredibly high quality prints, in some cases, giving better results than a photolab.  

      In order to do this you need to use quality photo paper. Here at Stinkyink we are committed to helping you keep the cost of home printing down and we have some great deals on photo paper, such as the Canon PP-101 270gsm glossy photo paper. You get 20 sheets of 4x6 high quality paper for under £4.00! If you want to print A4 size prints we have 200gsm A4 sized photo paper, 20 sheets for only £6.99. If you have an HP printer that uses the HP C6657 tri- colour ink cartridge then the Q7942AE is for you, it includes a full sized C6657 cartridge plus 60 sheets of 240GSM HP photo paper all for only £15.98. We also stock several other kinds of photo paper for all your printing needs.  

      So why not stock up, with the festive season just around the corner now is the perfect time to buy your paper.

    DEC Asia Earthquake Appeal

      earthquake_appeal  

        No one could help but be moved by the story of the Asian earthquake and the plight of the people in the affected areas. As many as 23,000 people are feared dead and at least 42,000 have been injured when the earthquake hit areas of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan on 8th October.

    The epicentre of the quake, which measured 7.6 on the Richter scale, was some 95 kilometres north of Pakistan’s capital city Islamabad. Several villages are known to have been completely destroyed, and countless others have been severely damaged.  

      This is why we must help in any way possible. We will be donating £1000 this month to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). DEC was created in 1963. It brings together a unique alliance of the UK's aid, corporate, public and broadcasting sectors to rally the nation's compassion, and ensure that funds raised go to DEC agencies best placed to deliver effective and timely relief to people most in need.  

      The Indian Red Cross has been distributing 1,500 blankets, 300 kitchen sets and medical supplies in order to help those worst affected. It is also sending 20,000 blankets from Delhi to Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir, but more help is needed.  

      The money will be used to purchase and distribute shelter kits for 30,000 families in Pakistani- administered Kashmir, the North West Frontier Province and Islamabad. Each kit contains a tent, blankets, plastic sheeting, a kitchen set and dried food. The Red Cross also plans to distribute medical supplies and body bags, and provide healthcare, first aid and emergency transport to take the injured to medical centres.  

    If you would like to help or make a donation via DEC click here.
