The design concept of this product was inspired by sliding puzzles. The concept of the mechanism has been applied to the storage of office desks so that users can see what is kept in the desk with great ease by moving the dividers on the desk. The grids can be designated to store different items according to the users' needs of storage and usage: 1.Documents and folders 2.Keyboard and mouse 3.Stationery 4.Loose papers The basket fitted in the grids can be removed to provide greater convenience when moving. This feature will also allow the user to sort and organize the items within the basket easily.

You don't have to be on-line all the time, you can download the mp3 files, so you can listen later, on you mp3 player, or your CD player, again and again, until you feel that the “music” of the Italian language have enter your hear. The price is very appealing, because you have to pay the fee only one time, and it is valid f
