I’ve been to several Direct Factory Outlets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne but what I find unique about the DFO in Canberra is that it includes furniture stores such as Freedom, Snooze and Timberland amongst many others. So if you are looking for good bargains for your home check out Canberra’s DFO http://www.dfo.com.au/canberra/.

The Entertainment^TM Book

Now you might wonder why I’d be writing about a book but it’s not just any book.  It’s the book that can save you a lot of money and give you an opportunity to try something different.

The Entertainment^TM Book is a restaurant and activity guide that provides special 25 to 50% off and 2-for-1 offers from many of the best restaurants, hotels and attractions throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The best thing about the book is that it allows you to save doing normal things such as eating at well known and not so well known places or going to the movies as well as doing the touristy thing such as visiting the attractions of the city. The Entertainment^TM Book covers a wide variety of places and also allows you to save on your holidays with hotels and car hire.

I previously posted a blog about searching for Netbooks / Laptops sales, it became clear from a few visitors that they didn’t know what a Netbook is… Originally they thought I had mis-typed it for Notebook but do not be mistaken a Netbook is something different and very specific.

The definition for a Netbook from Wikipedia is: “A netbook is a light-weight, low-cost, energy-efficient, highly portable laptop suitable for web browsing, email and general purpose applications. Netbooks trade features, processing power and the ability to run resource-intensive operating systems — to achieve their small form factor, low weight and affordability.”

The typical netbook weighs approximately 1-2 kilos, has a screen size of 7 to 12 inches, offers a wireless Internet connection, runs Microsoft Windows XP or GNU/Linux, uses an Intel Atom chip, doesn’t have a CD or DVD rom and costs less than $1000^.

Netbooks are geared towards users who spend alot of their time on the web — also known as Cloud computing. In general most of these users use applications such as online gaming, social networking sites such as Facebook, free web applications such as Google Calendar or photo-hosting sites such as Flickr.

Hope this helps!
