Re: Upgrade
Why an i7 instead of an i5? A quick Google says for gaming save your money and spend it on another component? Anyone have data to prove otherwise? Would not bother with Bluray unless you have some Bluray disks. Not sure about the SSD. Unless you are going to install FS on it (and I don't know the ad...

Re: M$ strikes again
My Avast virus checker on the XP box is telling me to abandon Internet Explorer since it won't be updated further on XP and hence switch to Chrome.
Might be worth considering if I even used IE on that PC.

Re: Ethiopian 787 Repair...
Quite an extensive flight test - up to FL380 and some sharp turns to check the super glue was ok.

Re: Became a Grandad today !!
West Middlesex hospital - I know that since just across the road from the primary school I went to. And my sister retired as a midwife from there this year . Not the easiest place to get to or find somewhere to park.
