Chap brought his PC in to me today because he thought he was losing the plot because he couldn't get any dialup connection to work on his shiny new "Time Machine". After trying hyperterminal and getting "RESTRICTED" to any ATDT commands, I did a little digging and it appears they're sold with...

I've been looking at Aria's "Create Your Own PC" offer. I've bought my last two PCs from Evesham but I quite fancy being able to specify exactly what I want without the hassle I'd face if one or more components were faulty. Basically, you tell them what you want (from their stock) and they will...

It's OK to send back a TFT with duff pixels under the DSR, as you can legally turn the monitor on to check it, and then send it back if you find the display unsatisfactory; it does not have to be sent back as new.

What a complete f***-up. I used to be able to go direct to the product locator page, click on (say) motherboards, tick the boxes of the manufacturers I wanted to compare, list them by price, refine them to (say), SoA, and get a list within seconds. I've spent the last half hour faffing about...
