Re: Launching

"Shetland Islands could expose SNP for the one-trick con artists they are says..."

Ah yes, balanced "journalism" from this neutral "newspaper".

Re: Where do you put those hard drives?

IANAL but doesn't the US have libel laws or is the orange one using his "I'm the Prez" get-out-of-jail free card?

Oh Hell. Remember the glory days of Demon Internet? Well, now would be a good time to pick a new email address

Re: Happy Days

Pretty sure Demon had binaries.

BBC said it'll pull radio streams from TuneIn to slurp more of your data but nobody noticed till Amazon put its foot in it

DaveEdi

OSX -> Win 7

I bought a nice shiny iMAC 3 years ago but never quite got comfortable with it. Installed Win 7 via bootcamp 6 months ago and haven't looked back.

Lovely hardware (apart from a slow disk), horrible software. Installing Win 7 gave the machine a new lease of life.
