HEXUS Cheapo Tips and Tricks
Okay folks, this little beauty was sparked off in my head following a post in Hexus Bargain Hunt, the basic premise is this:
Post your Hardware Related tips and tricks, a bit like that short-lived tv program using house hold bits and bobs (using orange zest as a de-greaser, or getting red wine stains out with white wine etc etc), whith the following conditions:

Just tape it to your desk or a bit of card or something and voila..a mat that imho outperforms icemats/ratpads etc.
As it's got a nice subtle texture and some sparkley bits in it it works a treat with optical mice
