Haven't been around for a while as been away in the UAE watching England lose at Cricket!

Just bought myself an iMac desktop as my last two PC's 'gave up the Ghost' in under a year! I'm well chuffed with my new Toy Takes a bit of getting used to, but far better than all that Microsoft crap

The long-term objective is to have all of my stuff portable between any of my current and future PCs and safe from being lost.

I think hotmail give 25GB free (skydrive) per account now too.

Just checked, it's Lion - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b) else I ought to know?

I'm afraid I've been a bit of a Luddite when it comes to PC's Friends have been banging onto me for ages to go Apple. i bought a Sony Vaio desktop eight months ago,which froze and then stopped working. Sony refused to honour the Guarantee as they said it had never been registered, which was balls. I bought it through M&S who's customer services were brill. No quibble and money back straight away. I've bought new,expensive - yes, but hopefully it'll last a few years!

.....And I've just sent off my application for a bus pass, three years late.

Feels odd to be 'officially old' too!

I was in quiz last week and was shocked to realise that we have a new ocean, The Southern, according to Wiki it suddenly appeared in the millenium Isn't it bad enough all those countries changing their capital cities

I don't get this.
What new ocean? Which countries changing capital cities?
Can some nice peep explain....

I thought it was called the Antartic ocean.

In 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization created the fifth and newest world ocean - the Southern Ocean - from the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. The new Southern Ocean completely surrounds Antarctica
