I generally don't hang around this NG, but heard a rumour that you were back
so I thought I would check it out.
Still hanging out on the WU NG. Nothing much has changed there. Check it out
when you have some time.

stay!

You don't have to register AVG Free to get it working Harry :-)


Too late for that, Steve, already extinguished the thing and went back with
Avast, which I like much better anyway. AVG kept telling me to register,
because my time was up. Might I have been downloading the wrong version? It
was supposed to be 'free'.

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


99% of those problems with Vista are selfinflicted, Mike, if not all of
them.
During my five-week tenure with this system I have found it is
'self-healing'.
Should something go wrong, it can easily fix itself with a little help from
the user.
WinME was good for it's time period, but Vista is a 'ton' better.

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.

Wow! An expert already. g Having used Vista for rather more than five
weeks, more like five years through the protracted beta and then
production I can assure you that it does have problems with 99% of those I
have encountered being with the OS rather than the user. Nevertheless for
a user using a single PC and running main stream apps then yes, Vista is
OK just as are and were XP, Win Me, etc. etc.
