Yay! Fingerprint scanner!

Post by Chris »

Forgot to tell you all, i also brought a fingerprint scanner for my pc! Logs you on using your fingerprint instead of a password and if you use shitey IE than it logs you on to websites too (but i don't use that!)

If you have programs such as eBay Turbolister or other tings that have their own username and password fields to get on to the program you can use it for those too!

Guru: Yeah its great! I have tried with a lot of people i know, no false matches! Gets dirty quite easily due to dirty fingers etc :p but you just put a bit of sellotape over the glass, and rip it off, then its clean again! (Those are actually the official instructions! :p)

Eamonn: Actually got it from ebay, after a large fiasco with amazon (Never ordering from them again!), ebay was bout ?40, amazon is about ?32

Ebay: this is the guy i briought it from. but sure there are others

Amazon (UK): here

Not sure if either ship to you though! Hope this helps :)
