PC World *Shudder* have got some great deals on at the moment. I hate the place, but there are some top deals on.
I'm running Vista ok - well apart from when I set up another log on for the missus it managed to "lose" all the photos I'd put on from my camera which included from the FA Cup semi, no idea where they've gone, they'll be there somewhere!
