    New ZX Spectrum Launched!

    Yeah I saw that earlier and was going to post it. I remember agonising whether to get the 64k Commodore or 48k rubber keyboard Spectrum at the time. It was the latter

    i f*^K!@g hate windows 8

    Same here. I cover a lot of villages who maybe only have a 2MB or less line. I often go computers that haven't had updates for ages. Because their line is slow when they go online they don't want to be bogged down with downloads.

    How do you handle paper work, receipts, etc?

    Is it worth using your phone camera for receipts Paul? Every establishment seems to accept them.

    What NAS hardware to this job?

    I would go with the Synology, why not? It will do a hell of a lot but just as client backups and sharing data it's good. I've put in about 8 I think from DS212Js upwards. Set up as a RAID 1, 2 x WD Blacks at whatever size you want and you're done. Configure them to backup the client pcs using...

    Tis the season for idiots

    Parcel deliveries are ridiculous. My workshop is upstairs, I get a ring of the doorbell, I respond immediately then a nanosecond later there is a furious knocking at the door like my house is on fire. If I'm out I get parcels left all over the place including cardboard boxes put in the recycling...

    My "new" laptop

    Yeah great when you get a deal. Not in your league but picked up a Lenovo Thinkpad for £65, added 4GB ram and a 256GB SSD dual booting with Win 7 and Ubuntu. If flies. :D

    Quick Question: Activating Refurb license

    Not sure what you mean by a replacement XP? The refurbisher is allowed to upgrade specific os licences to a new upgrade licence. During the process the old licence is disabled. I don't think you can go xp to xp, why would you? You cannot refurbish a non readable coa as it is needed to...

    Ms refurbisher program question

    My thinking was the Media Center and Professional were close. Whenever I've done a Media Center repair I've use a Professional cd if it needed one for the i386. It's just not documented that I can see. I probably will do this one then.
