What to buy?

[SteveB_NI]

I'm compiling a list of equipment, peripherals etc for personal work use which I may require over the coming year....

Any ideas? I've got the following items currently on the list:

USB Hub / Card reader
CD-R stock

I already have a set of tools so don't need them...

42" plasma??

No offence but if you have to ask other people to suggest things that you need - then are you not your wasting your budget. If you need something - you would know about it?

Notepads? I get through loads of em - prefer them to making notes on computer really.

Depends how long he's been in the post doing that job, and also, if he wants to pre-emptively order things it may work out cheaper than buying when needed (and it is in stock then!).

I've been in my post now for 10 months so have a good idea what I use (not much really!) but I would have been asking around 6 months ago.

on a more serious note i would defintely get lots of postit notes i get through loads!

Yup plan to get loads of post-it notes, notepads and pens (I can't hold onto pens thanks to other members of staff / pupils!)...

I wasn't here this time last year so I don't really know what I should be aiming to buy... I did have a fair idea though!

USB drive or a mini hard drive.
A decent spec PC for graphics work, including software.
Post-it notes
file covers or something to store paperwork in.
printer.
cd/dvd writer.

just some basics - the list could be never-ending, it depends on your situation.
