Dear Steve
We (your friends on the forum) realise that you have had a hard time lately, and want to get you back with us as soon as possible.
You will hate us for it, but we have a bit of a whip round, and currently there is £585 in the fund.
We want you to use this in any way you consider appropriate, even if it means defecting to the Mac camp - but, get online again quickly.
Your friends in the fluffiest forum on the internet.
This hit me as quite a surprise, so all I could do was mutter an un-emotional "Thanks."
What I should have done was looked like this
OMG!!! WTF?! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!
So I'm doing it on here now, before this POS PC locks up again.
I know some peeps want me to get a Mac Mini, but I really want to get my web site editor prog up and running, with the additional net connection benefit, so will buy a new PC tower instead, then try to fix this one afterwards.
I doubt I'll post on here again until Monday though, but will try again later today.
