    Silvercar, you might consider this laptop. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Offers/b/82867031

    I consider it way above my budget.

    Your challenge was to find a desktop.......

    .ordered something now, Toshiba satellite pro C660-2F8, from ebuyer for £349.

    2nd generation i3 processor, 6GB ram, 640 GB HDD, windows 7.

    Seems to be a good price.

    I am not digging up your garden for anything less than my normal hourly rate (£650 per hour + VAT). I cannot verify my normal hourly rate with actual evidence, but it is my normal hourly rate.

    They are so cute :)

    Edit - Just re-read your post lir. To clarify I meant that the younger people in particular are cute. I agree that the other face was a surprise and definitely younger than I would have guessed. Not that they were not also cute.

    Time to stop typing, I'm reminding myself why its better to lurk! :eek:
