    I recently saw a tiny model Commodore PET on an Egg advert (the one with the Guinea pigs), and I think the ITCrowd has one in the set.

    Sad, must get out more!
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    I take it you've started the PS2 up without a disc in to get into the menu and set it up for the component colours Y Cb Crinstead of RGB - as well as the aspect ratio - 16:9 intead of 4:3 as this will look better, but still ain't gonna inprove the resolution. I use mine with component on a 23" PC monitor and I think it looks great (GT4 included) - certainly much better value for money than getting graphics that good on a PC!

    That is so sad, referencing old computers spotted in the IT crowd. :rolleyes: I'm glad I'm not so sad as to do that ;)

    was gonna say vic 20 but didnt think anyone would know what that was

    Don't you knock the VIC 20 - that's what I cut my PC teeth on, and learnt to program in Basic from typing in games printed in magazines (and then de-bugging them as they were rarely totally accurate).

    Very fond memories of that and my Amiga - especially now I have Vista!
