Every day's a school day. :)

All this talk of power cuts made me remember something. I'm I making it up or did you used to get gas fridges in the 70's?

I think I'll just find a brand I like and go with it. But thanks for the offer.

Thanks guy's I feared as much.

We get a few power cuts a year where I live, so I've got a small geny to power my router and laptop and a gas hob for cups of tea. Ahh the simple life. :D

Evening Folks, I've been looking at track lighting systems for my kitchen and wondered if there was any standards between the different manufacturers systems. Can I use one manufacturers fittings on an others track? :)

It's an interesting question I worked in IT security for many years and to be honest in my experience many of the products are much of a muchness and choosing between them often comes down to circumstance rather than the technology. If you sign up with an ISP and they bundle a product its...

Yeeeeessssssss! My internet connectivity is finally working again. I've had a problem with the speed of my ADSL for about 2 weeks now and after 4 nights on the phone to various call centre folks trying to convince them there was something wrong. They managed to totally knacker it on Friday...

The snows been lying here in Scotland for a week now. My rear wheel drive car hasn't turned a wheel as i cant get it up the hill outside my house. Thank goodness for the wife's car.

What would cause a fault like this to suddenly manifest itself? Could it be rodents chewing a cable?

I had that book. I wondered where it went :^O

He's able to slow time down so christmas eve lasts 2 months for him. ;)

Happy Birthday Admin, Hope you get two sets of presents. :)

Merry Christmas. :Y :Y:Y

There's a blast from the past. Just recently binned my OS2 2.11 install floppies. All 20 of them. Those were the days when a big hard drive was 250MB and 16MB was loads of RAM. :)

To right does the job no messing. It's the MK of the operating system world. Linux is great and you can get it to do anything but it takes a lot of time and effort. I'd only recommend it to people who are interested in it as a hobby.

My copy arrived today. Had a quick flick when I wasn't getting sent on errands for 'last minute' items by the wife. Looks excellent I particularly like the chapter on 'putting it in' a area not covered by most other books. Looking forward to reading the rest over Christmas when the family...
