Yup - splurged on a USB dongle on PAYG...... getting used to its foibles, ATM - seems to be rather low bandwidth here at home, but I'm prepared to put up with that for the flexibility.... Next stop a laptop! (may have to come to London for that ) -- Noel Paton (MVP 2002-2006) (CrashFixPC) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk |

Next stop a laptop! (may have to come to London for that ) Just don't try pulling down Win7 x64 beta or it will cost you an arm and two legs (3.15GB). As for London, spare room's free - I just need to move the cat. :-) BTW I burned the first half of season nine for you yesterday but haven't managed to ski to the post-box yet.. Mike |

LOL! we just about managed to make 3 inches yesterday.... and it all melted today Thanks for thinking of Season 9 - I was wondering when it would start. 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. -- Noel Paton (MVP 2002-2006) (CrashFixPC) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk |

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. -- Mike |
