* Computer Hope is continuing to restructure its workforce and working on the process of migrating its data to a new, faster server at an alternate location. Because of these major changes we will have limited time to update our pages daily as well as answer our mail. Please be patient as this migration should only help in making our service better.

This week we will be talking about the Philips eXpanium! This unique device is similar to other CD-Players that allow individuals to store and listen to MP3's. However, what makes this product unique is that it is designed for 8cm (3-inch) CDs. This makes the drive more sleek and small making it even easier to carry and listen to MP3's on the go.
