My wife asked me last year what I wanted for Xmas. I said "The AC/DC album Back in Black. NOT their latest CD". She bought me Black Ice. When I said "D'oh!" she said "What!? It had Black in the title!". I still prefer their old material. I'm very jealous! The last band I saw in Welly was Soundgarden (approx 1997?) at the Town Hall. Fantastic acoustics. Wish I'd taken earplugs tho... loudest band I've ever heard. My ears rang for about 2 days afterwards...

"documentate" I know there's no such word. But try telling that to my junior tech. I'm sick of the sound if it.

Thanks. Now I feel old...

I miss my old Holden (It was a VN Formula, if that means anything to the Australasians amongst you). Now Vauxhall have released the VXR8 Bathurst Edition I need to win Lotto!

In my youth, many a happy hour was spent in University computer labs playing this 16-player game on old Macs (LC II's from memory?). Some clever person has ported it to PC: WinBolo http://www.winbolo.com/images/screens/00.jpg http://www.winbolo.com/images/screens/02.jpg

I haven't played for over 12 months, but could be persuaded, depending on the date/time of the game(s).... I'm absolutely cr&p as an infantryman, but used to be a real chopper wh0re......

lol @ Batman. Thanks. Made me really lol...

Did anyone else spot the funny bits in the last episode of TG (where the 3 lads are in the office, ringing Insurance companies)? BBC iPlayer - Top Gear: Series 13: Episode 2 (new series) Do you think the photos on their desks are really theirs? Capt. Slow has a photo of the Queen, Hampster has a photo of a Cow, and one of a man with a dog. Later on there is a photo of a dog by itself (and it didn't look like "Top Gear Dog") that I didn't see before. i.e do the photos change? But the funniest bit for me was at 2:57 you can see the Stig in the background using the photocopier...... to photocopy his head!

I'd use Robocopy myself...

link pls?

yeah... only 75000 beta participants, from the whole of USA/China/Brazil/Israel would go pretty quick...

I'm in the process of evaluating it at the moment, too. I would also really appreciate any widescreen templates anyone has to share...

I saw him in concert in 2002.... fantastic gig!

Don't let AngryTechnician hear you say that link (NSFW) Personally, I like HP switches too. Although we've got 2 old ones which periodically loose VLAN tag settings. I think it might have something to do with power cuts/surges? We use an ancient version of PowerQuest here, but are now looking for an alternative due to it becoming increasingly hard to find DOS drivers for NICs in new PCs. I saw an very informative webcast of Acronis yesterday. I might have to look into RIS and/or Ghost...

not really answering the original question, but on a similar theme..... I was recently watching a documentary about Pterry Pratchett "Living with Alzheimer's" and he had SIX monitors hooked up to his PC in a 3x2 matrix. When asked why he had 6 monitors on his desk, he replied "because I couldn't fit 8!" EDIT: Click here to see a picture

My wife has the G1 and she loves it, apart from the battery life. My contract was up for renewal recently and I considered getting one for a nanosecond, but couldn't drag myself away from Nokia. The decision was made even harder by the fact the T-Mobile don't offer the phone I've been dying to get my hands on (Nokia E75) since it was released

I love House. And the new series starts in 3 days! http://www.mindjacket.com/img/large_designs/lupus1.jpg

That's the *first* thing I do every weekday
