Ha indeed I do....crikey it is Friday! I don't often make them but that is a good one........killer.

Having bought a 40" 1080p Toshiba myself about 5 months ago which is absolutely brilliant picture-wise, has more outputs than I can through a stick at, has the regza link and streaming capabilities I have been very disppointed with the sound. In fact it was that bad, I have had to opt for surround sound. (that is genuine and not just what I told the other half before purchasing the surround sound!) So my main point would be check out the sound as well.........learn from my mistakes! Hope it helps. Chris

Hello tech_guy, I have PM'd you. Chris

Hello Chris, I certainly can and my apologies I wasn't a little clearer in the first place. Firstly, I must state that some of these models would only apply to schools and colleges who have a Microsoft EES Licensing Agreement in place. The reason being, some the Lenovo All in Ones come with Windows 7 Home Premium. The Lenovo All in One A130, A700 and B500 all come with Windows 7 Home Premium as the Operating System with the B500 being the highest spec with this OS. Lenovo also have two All in One models that come with Windows 7 Professional and they are the A70z and the M90z with the M90z being the higher spec'd model with this OS. These have all been very popular so far with our educational customers this year. I think this is mainly due to the price and the preferred All in One style that seems to be the case in the educational IT sector at the moment. Chris

Ha ha someone curious about me hey.......makes a change! I recommended the Lenovo all in ones as they are a really good price at the minute or to go down the build route in our case this would be Zoostorm. The Dells are very good machines but this is refelcted in the price and likewise the same is true of the HP 8000 Elite with the specific HP monitor that mounts directly onto the base to make an all in one style machine. Although the HP 8000 does come with a 3 year warranty already included which is not bad at all. We sell a lot of all of the above into education but the Lenovos are proving very popular at the moment to be honest. Hope it helps RTFM and thanks for asking! Chris

Great shout, the 'Khetto' is home to some of the most infuriating lemming-esque pedestrians known to man. Even with zebra crossings and traffic lights every 10 yards they'd much sooner swagger across busy roads. Its a wonder Jeremy Kyle has any audience members left.

Nice touch Tone, sadly you're missing the point. Mine wasn't an argument, unlike others I have an opinion that I can apply without the need for trolling/petty arguments. My point was merely that those reading into this thread as if bestowed with the authority and holiness of the Pope's personal chauffeur should as I said...get a grip/potting shed/head height mirror to speak in a patronising tone to (save yourselves the carpal tunnel)

You think? You should have seen the answer I really wanted to give. Eldergeek ladies and gentlemen: Case and point. Joe

Sorry folks..I have to jump on this one: Only ever had the pleasure of riding bikes in Thailand, rode around like an absolute madman on some of the craziest roads ever...no harm done. If bikers/Matt want to ride around in a way that upsets some (albeit easily upset) folk....fair play to him..after all how many bikers have caused real harm to car drivers/passengers? Emotional damage maybe, a foolish rider getting turned into pavement pizza in front of the general public. The point remains the same, we're all responsible for our actions on the road, bike or otherwise. I'll take a ride with a maniac I can trust, sooner than a 'safe' driver that's hesitant or nervous whislt in control of a vehicle. And as for the way the thread has spiralled off, some folk on this forum seriously need to get a grip...or a hobby. Fair play Matt, oh and the Breathe remix on the video is gnarly. Joe

My friends in 'The Uprising' are playing there this weekend, I'll grab 20 mates and swing by for a cuppa Russ, about 3am ok? (We'll leave the goats outside...perhaps!) Joe

Congrats... are you island hopping? Joe

I used to play the tuba in the brass band at our school..........yes the tuba. It was the b flat tuba as well! No laughing please. Chris

Hi PCSTRU, this would be right up our/ our sister companies street, i'll drop you a PM with some further info.

Fiat 500 Abarth....fun, economical and they pack a punch! I saw it reviewed on top gear (other car review programmes are available to view) So I booked a test drive at our local fiat dealer at the time just to see what they were actually like first hand and I have to say they were really very good indeed. Give it a try Fatmas. Hope it helps. Chris

Which model was it as I have one and now I am worried? The picture has always been excellent, however it is the actual tv sound that lets it down for me. Surround sound soon sorted that though! Chris

Hi Chris, we can help on this, shall drop you a PM to discuss. Thanks

Hi Dragon, main question would be- what would you like it to do? Thanks, Mark

I completely agree and I am not a fan of the blame culture at all, but if you are off work and lose money because of your injury then you should be entitled to compensation. I am afraid that it is the few who spoil it for the many and claim for evrything under the sun that I have a real problem with! (Separate Rant!) The school should have insurance though as maniac has mentioned. Chris

We always aim to beat any price and supply projector bulbs and indeed projectors for that matter. We are always worth a call!

I have PM'd you IKWeb Chris

Just been reading up on the tech behind the Samsung and it does look intriguing going for a LED with LCD setup rather than the LED/blue laser/ DLP within the Casio. If the brightness is comparable then at that price, for that sort of lamp life, the Samsung certainly looks like it’s a worthwhile investment. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.
