OK, deep breath.....
First ever computer was a Commodore VIC-20, followed by a Sinclair Spectrum 128+2
As for PC's, my dad brought a 486-100 home from work and that got me hooked.
As for my own...
C&C 4 was the last game I bought from them and I remember days and days where I couldn't play because of server issues - they really have no excuse whatsoever for this as it's happened so many times...
What the hell for? They didn't do us a favour by releasing it :P
There are a couple of problems with this list IMO heh.... Firstly, Windows 95 wasn't that bad, Windows 98 wasn't much good until they got around to 98SE which was a pretty good, stable OS. Windows...
I got all the questions right heh - hell even the wife got 2 of them - she got the Vulcan and Levar Burton answers (although I think the Levar Burton bit was probably more to do with the Big Bang...
I use W8 on my main laptop, which with the weather (which makes the computer room bloody freezing) is currently my main PC and there really isn't anything wrong with it - if you install it, try it...
Was Windows 8 - but it was me being stoooopid -found the files - hidden away EXACTLY where I said they were - I was looking in a different "Shares" folder - the one that keeps a copy of all the files...
So my Windows Home Server turned up it's toes and I was unable to properly remove the drives from the system through the WHS console. Not a big deal (I thought) as you can access the hidden DE...
Heh - Atari ST - I remember wishing for one, or an Amiga but alas my parents declared my Spectrum 128 +2 adequate for my needs, especially as it was an "upgrade" from my Commodore VIC-20....
Yup,...
If there is no copy protection to worry about, I suggest you try out Fairuse wizard (for windows) - I actually bought the full version as the free one is limited to a max output size of 700mb but the...
Well I haven't heard anything either way - and I'm not one for poking sleeping bears so until I'm told it's wrong, I'm calling it right :P
To be honest, I don't know if it's a DVD recorder or just player - and the part number came from the customer, but it does check out.
I did find something, apparently this unit is PART of several...
A friend of mine has an old(ish) Sony AVD-K150G DVD/VCR surround sound combo unit and is trying to find a user manual - I've had an hour or so googling etc and have only managed to come up with an...
I know MS used to give free replacement keys if you proved the sticker on your machine has been damaged beyond reading - this was in the days of XP so I don't know if they still do this or not - give...
idn - the thing with modding is (or tends to be) it's a reflection of the modder - otherwise you're effectively becoming just a tool instead of an artist :P
I'd get yourself a basic outline/plan...
I can't speak as to intel/amd performance specifically (fastest intel I own is a 775 Q6700) but I have one of the 8 core AMD Black Editions (8120) and it does everything I need and then some so I'm...
Unfortunately, the HTC One S also has a non-removable battery so idn what the plan will be if and when something locks up so badly that the power button doesnt work. I can only assume that google...
As time passes and experience grows - we all (probably) find ourselves willing to take on bigger tech challenges or more likely to have a go at something we wouldn't have thought about before.
My...
Ok so I registered my code and interest - and got the following rather uninspiring response...
I'll go back and register a couple of other email addresses (as many as I can get away with as...
As the magazine is nearly £4 (roughly $6.50) and you have to pay shipping to a UK address of £2.49 (roughly $4) then shipping to the US assuming it's less than 100g which is a reasonable assumption...
Crap - forgot about this - I'll go see if I can get a magazine (or two or three) tomorrow!
More memory is always good but the truth of the matter is, with the uses you listed, you'll probably see very little improvement going from 4 to 8 GB. I personally have 16GB in my main pc, and my...
Apparently you can get one by buying the top gear magazine - I'll have a look tomorrow and see what the deal is.... That site is showing out of stock
I have 28.8 on my Dropbox, but I did get a 25GB bonus when I got my new phone which will disappear after 2 years :P
