As they are still selling it (mainly on netbooks) they may have to change their minds.

There are rumblings of challenges in the states, and the EU may take things up.

Stoopid to be still selling in 1st qtr of the year and then dropping it in 2nd qtr.

Goodbye Growler  sad24:

Hello again.
I'm on this Internet Explorer thing now and it all looks odd.

Had major issues with the puter today. Some virus had bollxed up the modum apparently, so we tried to install this new wireless thing, but ut was then found that where you plug it in was goosed.
I had to go out and buy a new wireless stick thing to stick in the back, and now it werks again...sort of.
Can't get an internet connection now as aoHELL keeps demanding that I install updates before it connects. Has to close down first which it does, but when it fires up again, the same bloody message keeps appearing, so it's like a dog chasing its tail really. ::)

This'll do for now, but I'll ring up India again later today. scared2:

Meanwhile, I have a new 2nd hand laptop now too and it's ace....ish.

This thing is running so much faster now anyway. Only takes 60 seconds to the log on page instead of nearly 6 minutes in the past, so that's progress anyway.
Windows XP is requiring 1hr 30 mins to do its updates apparently. eeek:
I'll let it do it while I'm in the Asda this morning.

You lot of little faith in me ey. ::)

All too technical for me, I have lost everyones Avatars so can't tell who is saying what to whom now. noooo:
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

How strange, now they are back and everything looks normal again.  Think I will go back to sleep, it may help. surrender:
