I have foolishly downloaded a newer versionof IE. It appears to be inferior to the old version! evil:

Nick all I have to say to that is OPERA!

You don't seem convinced Snoops. Given the coice between IE and Opera I go for opera anytime. The only problem I had with it was installing flashplayer for it and that was down to the office firewall.

Not unconvinced ~ just wondering if it is any better than the Firefox/Thunderbird combo that I use.
Or should I risk all and plough on with eradicating Windows XP and installing Linux which does, I am told, support Mozilla stuff.  rubschin:

Never really used firefox so I cant comment there. Its an easy system to use and I've found the voice command facility useful for dealing with the office pest though

Not so much a case of vomit out of a keyboard but does anyone know how to get the remains of a DVD out of a DVD writer drive.  Angry9:

Doesn't the drive have a small hole on the front to release it? If so, insert pin and push to open the drive.

I'm curious about how you've managed to break a DVD within the drive though  confused:

Easy, if you don't insert them correctly.

Ever have one of those 3.5 floppies decide to detach the sliding metal plate? Great fun getting those out of a drive.
