Phew! that was close!, my old hard-drive failed on me and I was left with a non working PC, fortunatly there was an offer on at the local Aldi supermarket and I was able to get back online in just a few days, new PC has a way higher spec (Medion Titanium md 8080xl...3ghz Pentium, 512mb ram, DVD R,DVD+R,DVD RW,DVD+RW,CDR,CDRW and a seperate dvd player, 6 channel audio, Radeon 9800xl 128mb, 160gb hd and a fancy front panel that takes sd,usb,mmc,memory stick and smart media, plus audio and video in ports) funny that I can get a WAY better spec PC from the supermarket than from PC world (ROFL), nice to be back, now to test some of my old code on this new beast
