I think the BBC need to be dragged screaming and shouting in to the sixteenth centuary; maybe they've not considered 'hourse power' its probably the way foward from what I've been reading on the new generation of PCs smiley - wowsmiley - geek site went funy earlier, I got a new error message I'd never receieved before smiley - wow a 'Ripley config' error smiley - wowsmiley - ghost
