Thanks dare, I thought it would be OK. I'm not a gamer, nor have I downloaded a movie in my life!

I will use it for storing a few tunes on, browsing the web etc!

My cousin's computer got a power surge a couple of months ago during a wind storm when the power went down. Boom, that was the end of that!

Cheers

Ian,to be honest with you I'd never heard of it
until Neil posted it.

I got my bus number off
box computer came in

so I looked it up on google and it is
This is a speed measured in MegaHertz that determines how fast the memory and CPU run

I've only had a computer around 3 years,so
I'm pretty limited myself,When I went to
school computers has beads on them

Beads, you were lucky, we had to scratch in dirt

Scratch in the dirt! - That's Luxury!

We had to pull out our teeth and use them as beads!

This sounds like a joke, but it's true...

The first computers I worked with didn't have keyboards or monitors. We loaded them with stacks of IBM punch cards (One line of programming per card) and, much later, got back greenbar printout out of a daisy wheel printer taht sounded like a jack hammer! IBM 360 and Digital 1170.

Yes, I am THAT old!
