    My car is an RX7 which is a rotary engine, completely different from virtually all other cars and is made solely my Mazda for Mazda cars  :P

    I'm Rather Partial To A WAN KEL. ;D

  • I built my PC myself because I have the knowledge to do so (one of the few advantages of being a 17 year old A level ICT student ;)) but I can see this is just not a possibility for many people - especially the more older generations.

    Nice bit of ageism there :P

    building a pc is as difficult as building lego.

    Puhlease, I've got Ikea cabinets that are more difficult to put together than a PC.

    Never did get the hang of that bloody Lego. :D:D

    When I started building PC's way way back in 1993. ;D
    It would take the best part of a day just to put the MoBo together.

    Nothing ever worked 1st time and it took ages to load Dos & Win 3.1 (10 floppies) even with my mammouth 8Mb Ram !!!

    The youth of today are so TALENTED. ;)

    That must be why most 17 year old A Level ICT Students end up working @ IKEA. ;D

    My first PC ran on thermionic valves, and you had to be careful wiring up the gas supply.

    I thought they learnt to say "do you want fries with that".

    The thought of a 17 year old A Level ICT student putting up cabinets in Ikea is a scary one, they should keep to doing simple things - like putting PC's together 8)
