OMG do you live in an aquarium.. LOL
how many do you have?

2 upstairs in my bedroom (1 3ft long sea water tank and 1 2ft long fresh water) and 1 downstairs ( a corner tank fresh water).

I cleaned the 2ft earlier today and I'm just adding the water back to the sea water tank now, then it's downstairs to do the corner tank.

The sea water gets cleaned every week, the freshwater ones are about every 1 - 2 weeks depending on how busy I am.

Ah - not seen that term for those before, but I do know what he's on about.

Caution, technical post from this point onwards

Personally, I don't like them because my fingers are quite large and I struggle with much less than a full size keyboard. Plus, my main computer is a macbook air, which is thin and light enough to carry anywhere I want to.

But, I can see the use and the value in owning one, if they fit your personal requirements. If you do a lot of travelling where you need to do things like note taking, basic essays writing, checking e-mails, web surfing etc, then they might be useful. This is particularly true if your main laptop is heavy and bulky or you don't have a laptop, because they're small enough to pull out on a train or plane - I struggle sometimes with this, even with a macbook air.

Unfortunately, they have very little storage and I'm not very good at keeping my files tidied enough to get the most out of one. There are a couple of fairly decent ones around though, that actually have a good amount of storage.

I've never actually used one personally though, which means that I don't know what the performance ("snappyness") is like and neither do I know how comfortable it is using the small screens they have. I've only got as far as pretending to type on the keyboard, which felt horrid and I was pressing the wrong keys because I'm so used to the full size one.

Thanks for this and to Mrs Tiggs as well - Mr Small World is quite keen on getting one but just wanted some opinions. It would mainly be used to access internet so not vital to have loads of storage. Hes just been trying to persuade me to go and look at them but I cant be bothered. Theres no rush to get one so will look around and see what we think

Nah - the kids have some tooth fairy money to spend at the toy shop. We have a rubbish high street so not many shops worth buying from.
