The Great Digital Con
Like everyone else, I've been watching with some interest/amusement the constant ads on the box exhorting us all to go digital and how it's only going to cost us a 'one-off payment of around £50' for a digibox.

What we need to know is whether these things have a 'shelf life'? We've…

Do I have to use XP or Vista with a new PC?
Need to replace my PC at work. We currently use Win2000 pro. Been happy with that. But the PC is not coping with demands it is facing. It's not a memory issue (I've checked) and we are getting hard disk errors. Spoke to some IT support people and they said buy a PC that will run Vista. Fine. But for the moment I would…

Laptop DVD rewriter suggestions?
Hi I have an HP laptop with a Sony DVD+RW DW-P50A drive with the latest (1.8f) firmware. I recently bought some Datawrite 4x DVD+RW discs which are not recognised by the drive.
