I've got windows 95 on about 15 floppy disks. Ah, you have the MDF format disks (a proprietary Microsoft format which allowed them fit 1.9MB on a floppy disk), I've got the rarer 'backup disk set' which uses standard 1.38MB floppies - there's 31 of the buggers! And it takes over an hour to copy eve...

I think it's only because they've recently brought in all the new flavours like Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Coke with Lime, Diet Coke with Crab Paste and the like - seems more logical to make Cherry one of the variations of Coca-Cola rather than make it a separate "Cherry Coke" entity. Che...

The particulars of the conversation I'm not aware of, but I do have to sympathise with your neighbour somewhat. Quite why people feel the need to burn papers on a bonfire these days is slightly beyond me. Certainly, I understand the desire to destroy some documents, but today there are low cost cros...

The one I liked was then different changes in temprature (if anybody knows the name of it at all). The Body was actually my least favourtie, mainly becaus eit was overhyped I can't remember what it was called, but my favourite zone was the one run by BT which featured racks and racks of computers i...

I don't think that's quite what you mean...

lol too early in the day yesterday. Post suitably amended.

It's just a shame it was only open for one year, you'd have thought they'd keep it open for a few at least, as it did cost alot of money and I'm not sure if they made any profit from it. Plus I also know it had a McDonalds. (How sad) They couldn't have kept it open for any longer, it was a constant...

I went to the dome. My opinion on it? It was a brilliant, enjoyable, and interesting day out. But was it a big cultural experience? Not really. And was it worth what it cost? Not at all. Personally I think the biggest scandal of the dome is not it's construction for Y2K, but that it now stands all b...

I'll miss Index actually. They do have some advantages over Argos (like there aren't so many products exempted from the 16 day moneyback guarantee), and they were a useful fallback if Argos were out of stock of something. Aswell as that, they were the only meaningful competition to Argos - giving Ar...

PC World are an odd one on prices - their brown box components are quite reasonably priced, many of them cost more or less the same as ordering from CCL or Dabs when you factor in postage, but certain items are inexplicably overpriced. Two particular noteworthy cases are basic EIDE cables going for ...

I think personally that a crash in the property market is inevitable. My parents house was bought in 1994 for £64,995. It was recently valued at £325,000. Despite 11 years of inflation and the improvements which my parents have done to the property, it's ridiculous that it's now worth over £250,000 ...

I've had my Vodafone SIM card since July 2001. I was Orange Pay-As-You-Go before that but I got so sick of Orange that it had to go! The slow introduction of new services pissed me off chronic. Full text messaging didn't come to Orange pay as you go until as late as April 2000. Consider that textin...
