    Thank you very much

    So I guess XP will not include any software - autoroute , acrobat etc . Its not a problem and the price is excellent so i'm going to take the plunge .Currently says 1-2 days . Also its 3.0ghz in title but 2.66ghz in description . Which seems strange ( mentioned earlier )

    I'm off to order now

    If you look back at my earlier posts you can see the exact spec of the machine I received from Dabs.com for £229.99 + del. It came with a graphics card which had analogue and DVI output so you can put any monitor on it. It does not have a media card reader. As others say - probably better to buy a new printer! How old is the printer? I thought I had the same problem as you and was going to buy a converter of parallel to serial but I found a USB connection on it just in time. I was the one with the warranty which seems to be a full all singing and dancing 3 year warranty from Dell from February this year - but have to find out if it has been transferred to me. Failing that I expect a 12 month warranty from Dabs as a minimum.

    Having said that there is no guarantee you will get the same spec machine as me. But having seen the BT PC's what I received matches those specs exactly.

    Try but I expect its a memory from your Browsers cache, unless a unique (hold on to) script is assigned to that piece of info, then NO

    Do you happen to know the exact Dabs item number that you ordered, as there are two at the same price: see my post above.
