Reporting live from Thecus booth at Computex 2008 in Taipei, it is packed with visitors who are looking for latest innovation in digital storage technology. During the exhibition, users have the opportunity to meet with the most outstanding NAS products from Thecus. This year, Thecus is introducing 5 new products to be launched this year, offering much higher data security and performance plus more functionalities and convenience.
Home users extremely enjoy the experience with the latest N4100PRO and M3800. Powered by AMD Geode LX800 CPU and 256MB of DDR memory, the N4100PRO is capable to provide supreme performance with much lower power consumption. The additional RAID 6 and 10 protection ensures higher data security. Also, M3800, the 3 bay NAS device with build-in multimedia player function, is a great sensation in the storage exhibition section. The M3800 can play digital content directly through your existing home theater system, featuring HDMI, component, and AV out.

The N7700 is the latest 7 bay tower NAS, equipped with powerful Intel® Celeron M 2.0 GHz CPU and a full GB of DDR2 memory.

“If you’re using Firefox 2, the obvious benefit of downloading the latest version is its improved rendering speed, the clever new data mining tools for bookmarks and browser history, and the many security-related features built right into it. Memory usage is thrifty, and it doesn’t seem to freeze as often as the last version. The so-called ‘Awesome Bar’ will delight some and annoy the heck out of others (us included), and there’s no easy way to turn it off. Instead, you have to go into about:config to disable it. How silly is that? Firefox 3.0 is a great browser and a huge improvement over previous versions. But Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari are also good browsers – all having their adherents. So, whether you should use Firefox 3.0 is largely a personal choice. It is free after all, so you’ve got nothing to lose. If you are still running an earlier version, now’s the time to upgrade to Firefox 3, or in case you’ve never used Firefox before, now’s the time to do so.â€
