| 60063 | 2002-07-05 08:58:00 | Why on earth do you want one of those? I mean really. You already have a pc don't you? Maybe its just me - I don't buy junk :) |

Who knows, your mum might even help you out with the cost. Failing that, Christmas is only a bit over five months away. |

'Tis the schoolies and man, the purse is getting a thrashing and there's still a week left to go... :O Not PS1s or PS2s or even Xboxes - it's an expensive piece of plywood on four tiny little wheels.... |

| 60068 | 2002-07-06 03:49:00 | Come on, Susan, you better than to not post the details: how much ram, what OS, what error messages you get when the bit of plywood (or its driver) falls over. "Muuuuum!!!" is not good enough. |

| 60069 | 2002-07-06 13:03:00 | I agree with Susan....... When I was a kid, I used to get up at 5am each morning and do a milk run. My parents taught me that if I wanted anything bigish, I had to contribute towards the purchase....... |

OK Graham, just for you. :-) Mobo: Edwards ply deck Processor: Hollow Legs 12XP overclocked to 16XP RAM: fixed in-line, single dim-fearless module OS: Testosterone version 1.2a Program: Cheapskates Pro-Ambition Error messages: various, including the following - "Insufficient gold available, turn up whining" "Mobo upgrade required" Bailing error: "Patch up with copious band-aids and TLC" Other error messages are unprintable on this forum. |
