FFS whats the problem, been using a pan thip windows xp for years, no ploblem. It all depends on what you want. If your requirements are such that they are met with Windows/Xp and you have no other, newer requirements, there is indeed no good reason to 'upgrade'. Mind you, Windows/Xp might not work properly on newer hardware due to 'technicalities' which are normally solved by replacing a PC (done by companies), or finding a similarly old PC (cheaper, easy for general public). Don't ask why, but a month or two ago I even installed DOS 5 on an older PC. Still wondering if I should also try DOS 4, I found the two diskettes.  |

Those games are harder to play than GTA5. How did we do it? I had a look then up popped a porn link and well....Manic Miner just lost its appeal. |

There were some interesting phone in's today on Radio 2 about porn addiction.
One woman was complaining that her/boyfriend/husband has to watch porn, looking over his shoulder while having sex with her.
She was complaining that he couldn't get an erection otherwise and also that the porn is giving people too much of an expectation of what a woman should look like and perform etc...
I was sat in traffic grinning my head off.  |

Not according to your CV, which under 'Personal achievements' states that in 1941 you personally suggested to Sir David Stirling that he should set up some sort of elite fighting force and that in Glenfinnan in 1537 you took the head of Connor MacLeod. However, your CV states that you were also the main instructor/choreographer for the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow from 1977 to 1984 but I know this to be an untruth, as you were with me on an embassy balcony in 1980. |
