DSTV is not shy to constantly broadcast the message that it gives us so much more.

Imagine my shock when I discovered that a R50 ATM withdrawal from a non-FNB ATM incurs a transaction fee of R32. I can only imagine what that fee escalates to when the withdrawal is in the region of R1000 or R2000. 

Quite a few new e-readers are becoming available. The Kindle is probably the best known and retails at US $139 directly from Amazon. The Kindle is rated amongst the experts as one of the best available on the market - it is lightweight, ultra thin and very compact. It holds about 3,500 books and the battery lasts for about a month without recharging. Downloading books for the Kindle is quick and easy and shouldn't take longer than 60 seconds. 

A great digital toy that allows you to create word clouds from your words is just a click away on a site called Wordle. The look and feel of the words that you use can be changed - Wordle provides a huge choice of fonts, layouts and colour schemes to make your word cloud look great.
