| 433627 | 2006-02-25 11:16:00 | How many years ago, Graham? Only a few, surely. Going by some of the posts here, it seems that some members own as many networked machines as that - though not necesarily all late models. So does it inspire you guys to use them for an innovation that'll take the computer world by storm & turn you into millionaires? Must still be something new that nobody else has thought of yet... |
