    Christmas 1985 I think, would have been 8 years old - remember having a crying fit when I couldn't get it to work!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Bless!

    I know that feeling.

    Not so bad nowadays. A software upgrade screwed this laptop earlier, today but reinstall took about 30 mins :)

    Strangely, it’s that 'white noise' that now causes me to have fits, like the stereotypical flashing lights most think of if you mention epilepsy, only mine is audio in a certain spectrum and frequancy.

    Even stranger UPS's emitted the same sort of noise; well the big ones do….

    Have often wondered if there is a connection in there somewhere :think: ;)
