    Is the OS Windows 7 Starter or XP, and can the former perform everything that XP can?

    I don't get what the problem is, if it's a legitimate deal, it's a nice thing he's doing, insider information of a great bargain, anyone tested it yet to say if its a scam or spam, what's the b-i-t-c-h-fest about ?


    Would you like to explain to me how asking if it is store specific being a b*tch?
  • My husband has just gone into our local store and it was showing up as £119 but no stock available to store.

    Would you like to show where he implied this?
    Suggest you read his posts again to ascertain exactly what it was that s/he was criticizing.

    The fact is that just about any deal posted on this board could be described as spam. One man's spam is another man's bargain!

    You re-read the post. I already did. then maybe you'd understand. Otherwise don't get involved.

    I have not at any point described the deal as spam. I asked a legitimate question. Actually, I tell you what, since you seem incapable of scrolling back through the posts to see what it was I'll reiterate it here.

    Me: Is this the store you work in?". End quote.

    This was then copied and pasted into a post asking what the b*tchfest was about.

    There we are. Nice and clear for you so you don't make a mistake again OK?

    And by the way, that WAS me being a b*tch!

    Indeed it was :D but justifiably so, as I now accept all your points. I just didn't notice that quote he made of yours (which I didn't think was implied criticism when I originally read it).
    Please accept my apologies.
