Yikes!! Time to throw on another log, dtype is smok'en up the hill. Friend wife told me if she see another puter in the house my friendly little "tail" will be wagging with no hope of ever getting a muffler. Thank heaven she didn't think about switching out CPUs/motherboard/memory.

Morning Paws,
Try the Windows Media Centre Edition (That's the way we spell center in the UK ) You know shiny new box that lives in the living room plays DVD, records live telly, plays those MP3's you can look at the digital photo album on the telly. Has a funky remote control. You can do it, that's my plan. Kids have all got PC's I needed a PC then I needed that PC to find out all about Windows 2003 and host the team web site. MCE is my only excuse left to hide another roasting hot AMD CPU crunching for the WCG and MOT. Have you tried claiming that all the heat they produce cuts down on the heating bill yet?

Another top tip I back up the website to my Mobile phone every now and then just in case I get home and find a scattering of PC bits in bits around what we call "The Office"

Not painting a great picture of Mrs Autumns am I. I'd better add that she's lovely.

Give it a go pretend you are looking at Washing Machines or Fridge Freezers and then introduce the MCE idea.
So far I've bought a new Fridge Freezer the Washing Machine will be next

Great plan
Keep 'em crunching

To extreme for me, I got to keep the old girl, she's the only one that keeps the rest of you safe - she is my earth angel.

Graham love the train but them steel wheels are murder on my teeth

Hi David
Did you miss the Banner above, about nine posts up
Have you been up all night again hand cranking that power supply in the your new server to make it crunch faster LOL

Cheers Graham,
I'm the only person that can't see them in the whole widey world on the forum I'm on the wrong side of the router and they have a different IP address for me.

Fridge Freezer is turning up tomorrow
