Sweet, really good. Thanks guys.

Thanks all, looking forward to handing my resignation in and putting the cat amongst the pigeons! Jabo

I'm going to be working for BT, so cheap internet too!! LOL Jabo

Desperate? Yeah, that about covers it. LOL.

I have a new job...No more retail for meeee!! Jabo

I'm sure I've seen his work before - awesome. Jabo

I'll be posting the entire program to the vault soon. Jabo

ROFL love Metallimuppets. Animal = Lars = Inspired! Shame the Lego one is blocked - Boooo Jabo

Nice Largie, it's always fun when something like that turns up somewhere incongruous Jabo

Given where it's been for the past 65-odd years, I'd say that's pretty good. Mind you, it'll take a while to buff the dents out. Jabo

Got the Q9650 now, so looking at 8GB rather than 4 of RAM and either a GTX480 or one of the new 500 series cards depending on cost at game release. I will be playing it, that much is certain. Jabo

A bit more super-computer ish than some of us have m8 - Looks like I'll need to shell out for a new graphics card (at least) once the game launches

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here m8. Are you wanting to add the new HDDs in while retaining the existing one? If so, then yes, that should be fine, although removing the windows install from the new HDDs would be a good idea (I'd use ubuntu and gparted for this as it doesn't use the windows folders at all and you can delete them easily) If on the other hand, you want to replace the HDD in your wifes machine then, no (short of some serious technical jiggery-pokery - which doesn't always work in any case). The best solution is to get all the data onto one of the two disks, then format the other and install windows again. If it's an upgrade version of 7 that you've bought you'll probably need to install an old version of windows first. Jabo

I'm with FT here Jim, you can't just create an image of windows on one machine and transfer it to another unless the two machines are near identical from a hardware point of view. Can you boot the machine in safe mode? If so, deleting the SMbus controller driver (in Device Manager) sometimes helps, but personally I've always found sorting out the problems to be such a ballache, I've just gone for a reinstall of Windows. I can be available on TS if you want to discuss it. Jabo

We've played the carrier one online before, landing is a challenge, but I remember it being fun. Thanks Snacko

We have a similar problem with some of the Packard Bell laptops, the higher-spec machines have a touch button which turns the touchpad on and off - we see lots of those back, despite the picture of a touchpad, the fact it illuminates (in red) when OFF and, oh yeah, it's in the manual too - all 10 or so pages of an A5 booklet. Jabo

Seconded (or thirded - whatever) Colin, great event, and glad I was late enough to step into Sid's spot as the Joker, although I'm certain his performance would have been better. Still, I didn't crash, so maybe there's hope yet. Jabo

Good news Jim. Jabo

Ditto JP.

Welcome to the pound Bear. Jabo

It'll still have swollen caps though - I generally assume that's sufficient to file the board under B1N Jabo

For the Spit opening scramble/tailchase/chaos what time do you want us on the ground @ Dux? Ignore this, I just read the damn brief. Dogz time has me confused though, I think its the same as UK local at present? Incidentally, anyone fancy flying another Mk16 with me so we can have a Griffon pair? Jabo

I'm up for the opening scramble. Not got anything else organised, but I'd be glad to be a part of this. Jabo
