LOL!
we just about managed to make 3 inches yesterday.... and it all
melted today


Still lying pretty thickly (for London) here.

Thanks for thinking of Season 9 - I was wondering when it would start.


9x01 aired 9 Oct and 9x12 (12 filling a disk) aired 29 Jan hence the burn
yesterday. g

I have a mate who downloads a fair amount... I'll have to access his
machines for the Windows 7 Beta downloads via FTM (have you played
with it yet?), I'm registered, but haven't downloaded anyuthing yet
apart from one of the 'client' builds, which I haven't installed
anywhere.
The deal with 3 is not too bad - £15 for 1 month/3GB or £25 for 7GB.
The dongle came preloaded with 12GB-worth of credit.


Seems expensive _until_ one remembers that you don't have to pay BT
monthly line rental that then makes the deal quite attractive provided one
keeps to reasonable limits.

I've been playing with w7 on and off and whilst I find it addresses many
of the problems that people find with Vista I haven't spent over much time
with it. I had a bad initial experience with beta 1 (I also had the
earlier alpha M3) which took 9 hours or so to install on one box here.
Long story and part of the problem seems to have been due to the presence
in the system of a PlusCom sata caddy containing a drive although not
being used as a target for the install. After numerous abortive starts
due to the caddy, removing it solved that particular problem, I then found
the faffing around had initiated a bios controlled RAID verify (again not
the target of the install) which, since the raid is 2.1TB, took a good few
hours to complete.

(p.s. - what idiot in MS decided that putting a 248MB download in compulsory
Windows Updates was a good idea??)
