An advert goes like this; For 3Mbps, pay a monthly fee of 10,000ksh. This is meant for email and internet for a small office of up to 10 people...... What?!! For those of you who remember the pre-faiba days of Kenstream and Jambonet and Kenpac etc, when a 64Kbps link used to be shared by an office with 100+ guys, and popping mail over a dial-up connection, what goes through your mind?

Multiple A/V sources
by Andrew Wafula 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hello, I have a pal who has multiple a/v sources (startimes, dstv and a DVD player) bit has only one a/v input on his TV. It's there a cheap solution to having him manually switching the cables at the back of the TV each time he wants to change what he is viewing? Regards, Andrew
