TBH, there not a lot better anymore.

But beat the box store crap any day. PC World really drives me nuts with their Tech Guys who think they know everything and really know absolutely nothing, yet are prepared to lie out of their back teeth.

Mate of mine went in wandering whether it was possible to split the ethernet cable that came into his room from the router in the house into to so as he could plug in his PC and Xbox at the same time.

Stupid tech woman in their says its not possible. BS. Anyone knows you could just chain a simple 10/100 swictch on to the cable and get as many ports as you needed.

Needless to say, I sorted my mate out with a switch and wish I could have told that tech woman.

I think I prefer DOS!

No, its not that bad, just it liked to BSOD too often for my liking. Thankfully, it has had its grave dug now.

Mac OS X Leopard for me but XP is second and by very close too. Leopard is pretty stable exept for a small problem with accidentally imported exe files (i did this about 2 hrs ago) that screws up logon pretty good
