I've just spotted this on ebay. Is it for real? Looks a bit suspicious to me - but then maybe the packaging differs between suppliers? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Avro-Vulcan-sim-fsx-Flight-Simulator-X-2004_W0QQitemZ200131368331QQihZ010QQcategoryZ11051QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Edit : I've just spotted further ...

Perhaps it was just his time of month :redface: I was starting to think his more natural home was amongst the knuckle-draggers over at the keypublishing forum, although I haven't visited it lately, life being too short. Meantime SWMBO is threatening to send the heavies round if Hinch encourages any ...

I think youse Southerners should stick to Land of Hope and Glory, but then irony may not be a strong point of English Humour. :lol: I'm surprised that Alec Salmond and the Nats don't make more of the sixth verse. Didn't know that there are more than two verses?? Tch, tch I feel the need for some mor...

Perhaps this would get a more knowledgeable response in the Hardware section of the site. In the meantime, it might be worth having a look at what Win XP built-up machines are available through the Morgan site http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk At the moment they are flogging a number of Compaq/HP mod...

When they arrived on the Friday they only had the engine programmed to play the Marseilleise. Lord March suggested that they might come up with something more appropriate for his front lawn, so overnight they came up with the programming for God Save The Queen. Ironically the giant pringle they set ...

You mean like Harold Shipman. :lol: As they missed me passing through that door by three days, I did wonder what poor old Singeheid made of the jobsworth who rushed up with a fire extinguisher and hosed him down for being in the No Smoking zone. There he was lightly toasting his privates, dreaming o...

Well Graham, as your Pont Neuf expose shows, it all depends on your point of view - but enough cracks at the French. The laptop is an Equium A100-549, which I am pretty sure comes with a 40GB hard drive. After a day trip to Inverury, and nearly running out of fuel in Fettercairn in a cloudburst of a...

Damsel in Distress - Crashed Laptop

No, it's not one of Filonian's intellectually enlightening eruditions, my daughter has a problem with a Toshiba laptop that refuses to boot up - but is in danger of being jumped on from a great height by her. To save her from losing everything after doing a maste...
