I intend to buy a DVD version to use with my offline laptop but if it didn’t run on that I would retreat [...]

Given that at least one of us is a six-year-old, the wolfling and I completed an hour-long avian observation yesterday afternoon.
We were prompted by the RSPB’s annual BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH (the titular BIG being akin to Britain’s “GREAT”, dig ?) but not as tempted as perhaps we should have been to post the results to [...]

I “don’t rate any interest in INTEREST RATES“….;
it would also be untrue.
Indeed, a LOT of people who are aren’t CURRENTly taking ACCOUNT of these fast-falling(-since-”the fall” (if not “The Fall“)) figures may have increasing cause to pay attention if they start to find that their savings are being [...]

I’m not into “IM”. I’ve never done it. My only eXPeriences with Windows Messenger have been to “turn it off”.

The best thing about my Desktop computer is its 5.1 surround sound system. It gives such an enhancement to my enjoyment of music, films and games – plus the Line-In and Mic sockets are high quality with no nasty buzz or machine interference evident on recordings made via their wholly holy holes
The PC has been [...]
