I'm dreading september when the dreaded flying spiders hatch. Can someone in the know enlighten me as to what the hell those things are actually for in the great scheme of things? Crane flies, to give them their proper name, actually serve no purpose in the real world beyond mating. They have an av...

I remember Internet Explorer 1 :shock: Surprising, most people only saw IE2 when it was bundled with Windows 95. You only saw IE1 if you bought the Win95 Plus! Pack. Internet Explorer 2 was a radical improvement over IE1, while IE3 introduced us to the layout we all know, which would stick until IE...

Does IE4 even WORK anymore? I remember trying to use IE3 in 2000 and it wouldn't have a bar of any modern site. IE4 does work, it just makes heavy weather of doing anything and throws up lots of obscure errors about being unable to do anything. You can just about surf the internet on it. So far as ...

Looks like it's just me who uses Opera then... Meh. It looks like just me who uses Netscape then... Effectively Netscape is based upon Firefox. Though Firefox was a fork of Mozilla Suite Navigator, and the Mozilla Suite is related to the original Netscape Communicator ... so all in all I'm anything...

Stuck this on the computer at work. It didn't want to know, couldn't even get the interface up before it fell over. Stuck this on the computer I'm on now.

I have no hesitation in coming down heavily on other forum members of any web forum of which I am a member if I feel that my heavy-handed input is appropriate. It doesn't matter if I just post or I mod, if I feel I need to get heavy with somebody, I will. Okay, it may well be I'll get pulled up for ...

Now share the folders you want to share, right-click on them -> Sharing and Security. You should now be able to see said folder on the second computer and use drag & drop...

More Bank Holidays would be nice, as we only get eight as it is (Xmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday and Summer Break). Apparently the European average is 12 Bank Holidays per year, and Italy has 16 of the things. There have been calls for a...

Back then only Easter Monday, Whit Monday (last Monday in May) , last Monday in August and Boxing Day were classed as Bank Holidays - Christmas Day and Good Friday were common law holidays. Only Scotland got New Year's Day as a Bank Holiday, it was added 100yrs later for England, Wales & Irelan...

Bank Holidays have their roots in the 19th century when they were originally introduced to allow employees of banks to have the day off in order to go and watch some cricket - the dates of the holidays over the summer reflect when the matches would have been played. Back then only Easter Monday, Whi...
