PVB,
I see that the secret conspiracy to transform you in a
didn't work.
Oh well, we'll keep working on you.
Glad to see that soon you will be able to be on-line around the clock.

I can't say that it wouldn't be nice to have a Mac Mini, but most of the software I use is PC only, and I'd have the added problem of learning a gnu way of working as well.
I'll probably order the PC later today (once the £ transfer is confirmed by my bank).

£600 transferred.
Unfortunately the Dell Outlet online ordering system keeps timing out (on my work PC anyway).
Will try again later.
I'll definitely go for their 3 year on-site warranty.

Got quite a few GX280s here. 160 odd of them. Never any problems with a single one and they are almost completely silent. Good choice that was.

I'm sorry to say this one slipped by me unnoticed, how did it work, was
there a thread or something? I may have been on holiday.
Anyway I'm glad you've got something you want PVB and all the best to you
and your mother.

It was done all secret, like, without my knowledge.
