164992 2003-08-06 12:32:00 I'm surprised at the bad rep for PCco! I have purchased 3 of my last four computers there, and have had very little trouble to be honest.

Very disappointed that they have closed down PN Branch, because the odd minor challenge could be fixed without having shipping hassles, and now I need a new fan on one that I bought two years ago and will have to ship it to Hamilton probably which is a bummer!

But generally I rate them pretty highly!

164994 2003-08-06 12:46:00 PoWa,

To run two or more processors requires an operating system that can do that. That means you need Windows 2K or XP Pro (maximum of two CPU's) or of course Linux which according to SCO is now capable (well 2.5) of handling up to about 64 processors!

And on this topic....

PC World could mean the world of computers and all things associated with computers.............

164997 2003-08-06 20:52:00 We could do that sort of thing, PoWa, but we would have to rely on information from readers to a large extent. It would be useful, though, except for the risk that some people might have an axe to grind with a given company.

Example (not PC but technology)
I tried to get a CD player fixed recently. No mention of how long it would take when I dropped it off, but they charged $40 deposit. Ten days later rang, and they said they would look at it in a week. Another week later and they said they would look at it in a week. Went and got it back. Service like that is something people should be aware of. Not only specifics about sample operators but what to look out for.

164999 2003-08-07 04:05:00 I am a reader and subscriber of PC World, since it began. And remember $20,000 486dx pcs.

I am finding FFWD to be a bit boring as well. This should take over some of the gadget reviews from PC World.

PC World should include (and does in most cases)
- Commentary, Trends, Predictions, Bugs
- PC Corporate Usage section, for Servers, Networks, etc.
- PC Reviews for NZ machines,
- PC Mobo, Graphics, Hard Disks Reviews and comparisons
- PC Accessories short reviews(indepth comparisons in FFWD)
- PC How To Tutorials
- PC ExtremeTech (e.g. Atomic Magazine like articles)
- PC Windows, Apple and Linux sections
- PC Programming
- PC Games Reviews
