Re: Send them back where they came from

...and the media circus has arrived in the High Street. No doubt they are avoiding the level-headed people who would welcome a non-political Islamic presence (when the first repatriations took place it was only members of the local British Legion and a few representatives of the Stop The War ...

Re: April (snow) showers

Weird! It's really cold here, for the past half an hour sleet has been dropping from the sky and is settling like snow. Now I've just seen a flash of lightning and heard a rumble of thunder!

Wierd CD-ROM fault

Here's a good one...

A friend's PC (Athlon 2800XP Windows XP SP2) is having trouble with CD-ROMS, namely Windows refusing to recognise data CDs.

Originally her DVD-RW drive refused to read and write any media at all, the occasional original DVD movie being the only exception. Having given the PC a ...

The CPU no longer maxes out, the PS/2 ports have started to behave, the temperatures and fan speeds seem to be okay and I've had no more nasty clicking noises. All seemed well...

Today I powered up the machine and nothing happened, save for the power LED illuminating. As I had already previously ...

What kind of Athlon XP is ?

If you plant to upgrade and eventually sell pieces ( I am interested in

It's an Athlon XP2600+ and it's yours if you want it.

With my motherboard's BIOS now reporting fluctuating system/CPU/power fan speeds of 0-9999rpm and a CPU ...
