Of course I'm within my rights to ask them to open it. I'm within my rights to ask them if I can play football with a couple of their products. That doesn't mean they have the legal duty to oblige. I can't see why any major store would set up a computer simply for a customer to try a new one, when ...

Oldham's another to rebrand recently, changing from: http://www.ashfish.net/council/oldhamold.jpg to http://www.ashfish.net/council/oldham.jpg That's the one that cost £100,000. Yep, you heard right. They paid an advertising agency ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS to design that. Absolutely un-bloody-be...

I severely doubt they could let you try a new one, as it would have to be set up. I think it would be easier for them to unlock the PC on display from the demo screen, and then let you try it. If you want to gauge the weight, they should be able to get the display PC's battery, and put it in for yo...

That is Suffolk County Council's logo - nothing special, but not too bad either.

http://up.metropol247.co.uk/bilky%20asko/NYCC.png My County Council's logo - I'd say it's pretty nice. Nice, but confusing on first site. Normally I get logos right away eg, the fed-ex logo but I thought that the two large letters were a "g". I must be the complete opposite to you - I've ...

Can I ask why you keep tens of thousands of junk e-mails stored on your computer?

The problem with checking them at the shop is that usually in PC World and John Lewis, they're either running a Flash app which you can't exit or the user has a password. The other thing to be wary of in shops is that the ones on display don't have batteries, therefore you can't really gauge size, ...

This is a review for a Toshiba netbook - I only chose it since it comments so positively on the keyboard.

I tried a Mac for few days once. On the fourth day, it crashed. Well, that's reliability for you. Conclusive. What did you do after? I disagree. It isn't conclusive. It is however, one of my experiences. However, I do have a story on Macs. The adverts in the Yellow Pages, in the main, were made by ...
