Norton Driver Updater Review - Geekzone
Norton Driver Updater is very unintrusive and almost invisible, running in the background and giving you a heads-up if a new driver version becomes available. It is also very easy to use, with a minimalist user interface. In terms of cost, it is NZ$ 79.99/year for up to ten Windows PCs. I think it could have a second tier at half-price for five ...

Smart Modem 2 Firmware - Geekzone
Jul 18, 2023 · The latest generation of Spark routers (SM2, SM3 and SM5G) are more likely to get firmware updates. The nature of the updates is generally minor fixes of various features. For previous generation equipment I guess you can never say never, but less likely. Please note that this is just my view/opinion etc.

After holding off on the initial offer (knowing from buried in their FAQ that it was held open for after the email cutoff date) we got a loyalty offer yesterday stating "The new Sky Box is on us!". Given it's been a few months since introduction, and there's been plenty of negative feedback with the new box, has it settled down and ...
problem setting up XTRA email - Geekzone
Oct 25, 2021 · Good day Geeks. I am experiencing a wee issue trying to simply set up an existing valid & active xtra email account on a new computer. I know the password to be correct because log in on xtramail.co.nz works just fine. I'm using the IMAP protocol (imap.xtra.co.nz 993 / send.xtra.co.nz 465 both SSL/TLS and both with SPA and I consistently get ...
HP Smart Tank 7300 Series Review - Geekzone
An HP Smart Tank 7300 printer and scanner/copier landed here for review, and here are my impressions. First, using ink tank printers seems to be a more economical way of printing at home, reducing waste generated by replacing ink cartridges every month (depending on printing volumes) and being cheaper than buying new cartridges.
Ubiquiti Dream Machine review - Geekzone
Design wise, this router doesn't look like a router - it looks like a "Chonky Pill" with a blue LED ring around the top to indicate it is working. That's it. Doesn't have any flashing LED's to annoy you. The router also has a built in speaker (which makes a nice chime to indicate it has booted) along with a fan blowing upwards to dissipate heat.
Norton Utilities Ultimate Review - Geekzone
Norton Utilities had everything a command-line user could want. It included tools to recover deleted files, change the screen colours, sort the floppy disc directory, print files and even a disk optimiser to speed up access to files on those slow floppy disks. Over the years a few competitors appeared, and I remember using PC Tools for Windows ...
