SKY New Sound Box
I see Sky are doing a new sound box, something similar to a sound bar - not cheap!! It's £299 for existing customers and £249 for sky Q customers, but a huge £799 for non sky customers. Don't know how it compares to other products in terms of sound, but price wise... very expensive. Anyone has thoughts/comments about this…

I knew something was wrong this morning, because my Desktop normally boots up in less than 15 seconds. It was of course the dreaded "Windows updates". It took over twenty minutes to complete, inclusing three restarts. Has anyone else had problems with the latest updates?

Curry's Laptop Advice
Hi, I went to Currys at the weekend and was interested in buying a laptop and then was put off as I didn't realise that it didn't include Microsoft Office and that the 2016 software would cost an extra £110.
