Re: (Almost) lost for words.

The fact of the matter is that he was in charge of a HUGE business and for the size of company he was on the lower half of the scale, I don't see what there is to complain about?

Quit the 2D internet, flee your cave, and GET LAID, barks rock star

Thumb Down

Rubbish

I would far rather get out an do stuff like kayaking, climbing, hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking etc. Shopping is just a crap thing that eats up my play time.

I have no interest in hearing one person's feedback on their product which they may be getting paid commission on, I can get a whole load of people's feedback in a fraction of the time online.

Therefore I'll do my internet shopping, enjoying lower prices, during my lunch break and go and enjoy myself doing real stuff when I have time off work.

BT, give us fibre to the door and you won't need a task force, you can even sell the copper off yourselves :)

I only got my HP MicroServer past my girlfriend as it's a file server, now she has a tablet she can see the benefit and it also feeds the SqueezeBox so she does see some benefit.

Remember and sell the benefits to the users guys :)

Thankfully I have wireless access at work.

Time to head back to OcUK

After reading Spie's posts on the forum and seeing his views on many things I choose never to buy anything from his company again. It may be time to go back to using OcUK now as I always found they sold good kit.

I've looked at this type of devices in the past and I've always wondered but never bothered to work out, how long would it take you to save the £30 in wasted electricity?
